thread_title: Why french name?

message: Hi. The official website (linked in the article) says that the French government acquired the castle in 1932, not 1930 as the article states (unless it was meant to be the 1930's). Regards, Redux 14:15, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: How long were those there? I removed them, we should let the images speak for themselves. At least in 2006 we don't let those slide by. ;-) I also trimmed excess images (the kings were a bit much, they have their own articles, and it's not like the average reader can navigate the page by their portraits), enlarged others, and put two of the panoramas in a gallery section. Better a few good images on the page. There also should be more than just a line about its tourist functions. Are the grounds open? Are there interpretive tours (presumably)? Are there outbuildings?. --Dhartung | Talk 22:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of Acquisition

message: The sentence 'It actually belongs to King Peter II Nadeau-Bourbon and his direct descendant King Peter III, rightful heir to the throne of France.' was inserted by an anonymous user on 8/9/2006, and is either:
* Inserted at the wrong spot and should be moved to a separate paragraph or section and provided with some reference
* Spurious and POV
If nobody can substantiate the claim of King Peter II, I am all for removing the sentence.

thread_title: The Ducal Family

message: Perhaps interesting trivia:
From: An article on American, William Kalan, receiving the Legion of Honor
On June 22, 1944, German anti-aircraft fire knocked out one of his plane's four engines. Kalan took the crippled plane out of formation, hoping to get away. But then German fighters hit his bomber and knocked out two more engines. With only one engine left, Kalan ordered his nine crew members to bail out and then jumped, too.
Just before he hit the ground, he saw his plane swerve and miss a huge white building, which turned out to be the Chateau de Chambord, one of France's Renaissance treasures. Inside, the French had hidden priceless objects from the Louvre, including the Mona Lisa.
Later, when he learned what was in the chateau, he was amazed. 
"I almost killed the 'Mona Lisa,' " he said.

message: "A gallery of high resolution photos taken of Chambord in 2009" points to a Yahoo/Flickr page that has been classified as 'private'. Looks like the owner of the gallery no longer wants to share with the public.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.6.107.171 (talk) 05:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

message: According to the caption the Waddesdon manor image shows "One of the twin staircase-towers". However this staircase is barely visible in the actual image. A much more appropriate image, which would fit the caption, and nicely matches the Chambord staircase image further up, is available at
