Talk:Pantin

message: The movie and the expression "Tchao Pantin" have nothing to do with the city of Pantin. The movie takes place in downtown Paris (XVIII arrondissement). The expression "Tchao Pantin" used in the beginning of the 1980s means something like "Hi buddy" or "Bye guy" but is not related to the city.

message: This article is appalling! The history is not backed up from any sources and, indeed, the only verifiable part if that the then village was mentioned in a royal charter in 1124. None of the detail is supported by the town hall's website (, includes picture of town hall - not a medieval castle) The town hall gives a fairly detailed history (see )and would form the basis for a better Wikipedia article. This does not mention the name deriving from "Romius", in fact, it states that the origin is unclear. Significantly, the French Wikipedia article also does not repeat any of this nonsense. In the light of this, I have deleted the history section.

Talk:Île aux Cygnes

message: The description of the replica Statue of Liberty in this article directly contradicts the description of the replica in the Statue of Liberty article under the heading "Depictions".  That article says that the replica in Île aux Cygnes is one-fifth the height, while this article says it is one-fourth scale.  Also, this article says that the replica "was given by the Parisian community living in the United States to the municipality of Paris..." while the Statue of Liberty article says that it "was given by the American community in Paris to that city."
Which is it?
One-forth or one-fifth?
Was the replica paid for by Americans living in Paris, or French people living in America?

J'ai annulé tes modifications car je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que tu as changé: voir ici
Ouvrage Latiremont is a large fortress (Gros Ouvrage in french) from the Maginot Line. It was part of the Secteur fortifié de la Crusnes (fortified sector of Crusnes) and more precisely in the Sous secteur d'Arrancy (sub-sector of Arrancy).
Si je traduis çà, çà me donne "L'Ouvrage de Latiremont est une grande forteresse depuis la Ligne Maginot". Pour le mot fortified, effectivement, il peut aussi être utilisé, donc je l'ai laissé, et pour precisely aussi, car j'ai fait une faute de frappe.
Par contre, pour le terme embrasure, je désaprouve complétement, car un créneau et une embrasure ne sont pas du tout la même chose.

Talk:Coulée verte René-Dumont

message: Hello. We walked this over the weekend in the area from Gare de Lyon. 
We gained access via Rue de Lyon, and could not find another active route down - we had to return back to the place we went up.  
Many access staircases and lifts are closed off, which we only discovered through experiment and quite a lot of extra steps.
We were there at midday on a Friday so this is not a night time or Sunday effect. 
I think a statement about the level of access would be good for visitors and for anyone with restricted mobility.

message: I've proposed merging the 10th Regiment of Foot into this article, as the two articles describe the same unit - one up to 1881, one 1881 onwards. The unit didn't change in 1881, unlike most Army regiments; the 26th Regiment and upwards were merged, but the 1st to 25th merely got new names and absorbed new reserve/volunteer battalions.

Talk:Scanian Law

message: I added "makes a confession to a priest and gets absolution" to the translation of an excerpt of the law since that IMHO is a very important part of it, as it explains why a man who is killed outright isn't buried within the confines of the churchyard while a man who is injured and later dies is. The words "oc scriftær sic" in the part of the transcription that reads "oc cum bær lifuande bort. oc scriftær sic. oc dør sithan af thy sare" had been omitted in the translation. In present day, albeit slightly archaic, Swedish it would be "och kommer levande därifrån, och skriftar sig (or "biktar sig"), och dör sedan av de såren". The omitted words literally mean "and makes a confession to a priest and gets absolution". Allan Akbar (talk) 21:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked the reference on the page and the modern Danish translation that was said to be the basis for the English translation includes the part about confessing to a priest and being absolved.

This is the paragraph in modern Danish as per the web page that was referred to: "Får horkarlen sår i seng med en anden mands kone og han kommer levende væk og skrifter, og han siden dør af det sår, da skal han begraves i kirkegården og bonden skal ikke bøde for ham."

Since fandom was oversupplied with Bobs already, from Bob Tucker to Bob Silverberg to Bob Vardeman (known respectively as Tuckerbob, Silverbob and Vardebob), I suspect that Stewart decided to claim the 'Bhob' title around 1958 in part to distinguish himself all of them, as well as from California fan Bob "Boob" Stewart (the latter so called because he published a fanzine called Boo). --Orange Mike | Talk 05:58, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

This commune does in fact have it's own railway station. It has existed since about 1875.
The rail service used to originate on a loop line from Aulnay sous Bois via Les Pavillons 
sous Bois and other stations and continue on through Bondy to the terminus at Gare du L'Est.
In 2006 this train was replaced by a new tram/train (T4) service which still originates from
Aulnay sous Bois with additional newly constructed stations along the route to Bondy where the T4
line now terminates. Connections can be made to RER line E to Gare du Nord (Magenta) and St Lazarre.
