Talk:Perche

message: In the first paragraph, I added the following text (given below in italics) containing matching information from each of the given départements' individual articles:
:Perche is a former province of northern France extending over the départements of Orne, Eure, Eure-et-Loir and Sarthe, which were created from Perche during the French Revolution.
I first checked with each département's article to verify they were "...one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution..." Each of them contained this phrasing. So, logically the province of Perche was broken up into départements at that time. 
The problem is upon comparing my edit with the original articles, I saw that:
:Eure "was created from part of the former province of Normandy," and
:Sarthe was created "starting from a part of the province of Maine which was divided into two departments, Sarthe to the east and Mayenne to the west." 
However, the Eure-et-Loir and Sarthe articles state that each of them were created at least in part from Perche. 
Another problem is that only one of the 4 département articles, Sarthe, has a References section at all and it is minimal. 
I'm sorry that I can only point these problems out, and I thank in advance those who can research, document, and write up the correct information. 
Articles involved and potentially needing attention: Zacharie Cloutier (which got me into this), Perche, Orne, Eure, Eure-et-Loir, Sarthe, and possibly other articles besides Cloutier's which mention the Percheron Immigration from Perche to New France in modern-day Canada.
Thanks again,

thread_title:  Départements created from Perche: only two of the four mentioned? 

message: Hello all- I want to make known to others who may be watching this article that I have reverted, three times now, 's listing of towns and their distances from a "near-center" geographic point. I do not find this list to be an improvement, and I'm sure it is not standard practice to have such a list in an article of this type. Please feel free to comment here.

replies: text: Hello Eric & Co.:  Please stop making individual decisions and undoing people's honest efforts.  I have added information.  If you feel it is somehow inappropriate, please discuss first.  Please also be sure to add some authoritative reference to your decision-making.  My decision process so far:  I have added information (list of towns with Perche that appear on the map, which facilitates use of map), plus other nearby surrounding towns and cities.  IMHO, I have added value to the article.Aboudaqn (talk) 15:06, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no "authority" as you put it; just common sense, knowledge of common practice on department articles, and an awareness that Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia and not a place for exercising unilateral whimsy. You may want to consult Wikipedia:WikiProject French departments. Eric talk 16:12, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the link Wikipedia:WikiProject French departments.  I find my additions fully in keeping with this page.  Further, I am adding content:  rather than fixing, you are simply removing.  I find your approach destructive and non-collaborative.  I have made the time and effort to provide content:  before you destroy, please first read, consider, and then suggest if not improve.  Aboudaqn (talk) 00:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Town listing with distances 

message: This might have implications for the content at Camargue (which is full of lots of "the Camargue").  There are probably others.  I think Ukraine was already cleaned up in his regard.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:13, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
