message: The length of the meter was based on the survey from Dunkirk to Barcelona.  Perpignan did indeed play a role, but Calais doesn't seem to have been involved.  See Ken Adler, The Measure of All Things, on the subject of this surveying expedition.  --Reuben 17:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Length of the Meter? 

message: Unclear why the Dutch name for Calais is mentioned (at all, really, but especially so prominently, even in bold).  Is Dutch widely spoken in Calais?  Also unclear whether the Dutch name really is Kales, since the Dutch version of the article is titled "Calais", but cites "Kales" as the Flemish form.  The French version of the article cites "Kales" as the Dutch form and "Cales" as the West Flemish form.  -86.140.131.100 21:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Flemish and Dutch are the same language; just separated by being in two different countries, Belgium and the Netherlands. In Flanders both Flemish and French are in use.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 03:51, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It was flemish speaking for a long time - until many people emigrated to Germany. In French Flandre still there are people to understand flemish. So mentioning it is OK! - But what is the etymology of its name? May be it is latin, since the Romans have been here for some centuries. But they usually overtook older names, only making them sound latin. So which language does it come from? There must be a literature on this subject! 130.133.155.69 (talk) 08:24, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

message: If anything, should be less Germanicness to Calais since being within France and no longer within English Flanders (Pale of Calais).

message: This was put into the article by a new editor. I suggest it belongs here instead. "The preceding sentence is suspect for several reasons.  Firstly the name Caletum does not appear in Liber IV of de Bello Gallico. Rather Caesar simply describes his departure point as Portus Itius. This is believed to have been near Boulogne. At that time Calais was an island in the North Sea.Adrian Goldsworthy Caesar, page 338 " Roger 8 Roger (talk) 02:06, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
