Talk:Saint-Domingue

message: When was the first theatre founded? It would be interesting to read about the theatre life in 18th century Haiti. It would be interesting to read about the first theatres and some of the actors and actresses. The articles about the History of Haiti on Wikipedia neclects pre-revolutionary history. Perhaps understandebly, yes, but it does not give a very complete view. It would be interesting to read about known people in 17th and 18th century Haiti; now, there is very little outside the political figures. --85.226.235.178 (talk) 11:16, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It is true that Saint-Domingue "could be" pronounced "San Domingyou," but that would be an incorrect pronunciation. Sort of like mispronouncing the word "burlesque" as "burley-cue." Some may pronounce it that way, but that doesn't make it correct. Sure, there are slight regional variations in the pronunciation of certain words, but "San Domingyou" is not a "variation" of pronunciation. It's just a mispronunciation by someone who doesn't speak French. The word "Domingue" is simply French for Dominic, and it is pronounced "Doh-MANG," to rhyme with meringue. The "ue" at the end is silent.PGNormand (talk) 06:33, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

message: There is repetition, material repeated in different places, content that is unsourced and sounds like OR. Needs sourcing and more editing, in part just for writing. There is another entire article on the Haitian Revolution. This article should be reconcile with that one. Parkwells (talk) 23:36, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Under the heading "End of colonial rule" the fifth paragraph reads "In 1799, the Black military leader Toussaint L'Ouverture brought under French rule a law which abolished slavery and embarked on a program of modernization. He had become master of the whole island." This is confusingly written, and I am at a loss to know how to correct it. First, because Ouverture did not have the authority to "bring under French rule" anything; he was a rebel. Second, it isn't possible to "bring under (French) rule" a law that exists under that same authority structure; those laws already exist under any particular rule. And third, because "he had become master of the whole island" is both oddly passive ("he had become"?!) and it skips over all of the consequential events of the rebellion. Can anyone make sense of this? Bricology (talk) 20:40, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
