Note that the Dimco buildings aren't actually used for passengers to catch buses from; the bus 'station' in that sense is outside to the West, which is a shame as the public doesn't get to see inside. They act as a depot where buses can park and presumably contain facilities for drivers such as toilets and refreshments (some evidence for this would be good). Also I removed the word redevelopment as this is normally used to mean demolition followed by a new construction.

Until now I'd assumed that the -don ending was a variant of -ton (=town).  But apparently it might actually have meant hill.  So then maybe it's an error due to subconscious confusion with other names with the similar ending of -ton, or an incorrect folk etymology?

thread_title: Untitled

message: "Aube is perhaps best known for the 1932 visit of the late Turkish president Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who signed a friendship treaty with France there."
This needs to be verified. According to official Turkish and French sources, Ataturk visited France only once in 1910 as "attaché militaire" of the Ottoman Emperor. No other visit is recorded officially. However a recent evidence shows that he visited France in 1917 during the heights of I.World War. He was a guest of Guillaume II last Prussian King at The Castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg where his autograph was discovered recently in one of the visitor books.
However, after 1917 there is no official or unofficial records showing that he visited France. Despite my personal efforts to find a source to verify this information, I have failed to find one. Thus the author of the above, should verify the reliability of this information, otherwise it needs to be removed. Billyg (talk) 17:26, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Departmental councils merger  

message: The assertions here and in Haute-Corse that the demonyms "Supranacci" and "Suttanacci" mean "Northerners" and "Southerners" appear specious to me insofar as they are obviously based on the "supra" and "sutto" (compare Italian "sopra" and "sotto") meaning "above" and "below", not "north" and "south". And, after all, Haute-Corse is Upper Corsica, not "North" Corsica, even though Corse-du-Sud does mean "Southern" Corsica. Largoplazo (talk) 22:53, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Haute-Corse is the official administrative name of the department, and as such, should be used as the title.

I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned Les loups de Chabrières --^pirate 11:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The page cites:
The housing is not expensive, compared to Great Britain or Provence, and if one wants to pass a nice, calm and comfortable vacation, the Creuse is the place to go. There is much controversy, however, as to the way communities are established in the Creuse. Large communities of English people are found with little or no link to the outside. Creusois often complain that tourists and permanent immigrants make no effort to learn the language and this is a source of much discussion in the administration of the area.
== The "housing is not expensive compared to Great Britain". To where in Great Britain? Everywhere in the Creuse compared to everywhere in Britain? Cheaper than London or cheaper than Northern Ireland? And what figures to support the claim?
== Is "the Creuse the place to go" an opinion or absolute fact?
== It may be true that there is controversy about the way communities are establised. But who says so? What evidence is there? What figures are there for incomers who "make no effort to learn the language"?
== The whole is made still less reliable by the reference to "large communities of English people." There are no Scots or Welsh, presumably, no Northern Irish?
== Source of much discussion in the administration of the area. By whom? Local people? Départements? The Conseil Général? And when, and discussion of what sort?
All these assertions may well be true. I can't contest them. But equally they are unsupported and I suggest that, unless someone with inside knowledge can substantiate them, that they're deleted as not being NPOV. 
I also suggest deleting the link to the French Cookery School, which is a commercial puff. Les woodland (talk) 12:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

The video:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/WIKITONGUES-_Javier_speaking_Nahuatl_%26_Spanish.webm
First of all, Nahuatl is a second language to me.The person "Javier" is not speaking nahuatl. He is not a speaker of the language. He is an "Aztec Dancer". Notice the necklace and ear gauges which are not Nahua. His chant is not in Nahuatl but rather is from the Native American church from the USA. He then sings in spanish while mixing in some very commonly known nahuatl words that everyone knows in Mexico but are no longer indigenous concepts but recreating Aztec stereotypes by city people. 
You can find hundreds of videos of actual native people that speak Nahuatl as their native language or even students and professors who speak it as a second language. This video does not show a person speaking Nahuatl. It would be like a video showing a person doing a buddist chant then singing  in Chinese and mixing common words in english like "House", "Family", and "Jesus Christ". Then you'd put "here is a person speaking english!"
I hope you understand what I'm saying and remove the video because it's mislabeled and wrong.
