Bonjour Coldcreation, 
Although I usually agree with your editing interventions - you're sharp! - I do not agree here:(  
A title in original language used in a foreign text has to respect the spelling etc. of the original. Please give me the rule why Salon d'automne in French must be written Salon d'Automne in a text in English. 
Cordialement, --Blue Indigo (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Comédie-Française

message: The Infobox is a bit confusing because the article is mainly about the theatre company known as the Comédie-Française, but also a bit about the company's theatre building, the Salle Richelieu, which of course since 1799 has also been known as the Comédie-Française. I suppose what we really need is a separate article about the Salle Richelieu, probably focusing on its architectural history, and its uses during the nine years before the Comédie-Française moved in. (But that would be quite a project.) I tried to clarify things a bit and hopefully this is less confusing than before.) One oddity is the watercolor of the interior of the theatre (:File:Paris Comedie-Francaise.jpg) which shows the auditorim as it appeared shortly after it opened in 1790. It probably never appeared this way when the Comédie-Française used it, since, if I'm reading Alexis Donnet's 1821 book Architectonographie correctly (see 121–122), the interior was substantially remodeled in 1799 before the company moved in. This is Donnet's Plate 9 (now at Commons: :File:Salle Richelieu - Donnet 1821 plate9 GB-Ghent composite.jpg) showing how the remodeled theatre looked. To me it's not nearly as beautiful as Victor Louis's original design, but it is probably more accurate. --Robert.Allen (talk) 05:17, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Dingo Bar

message: Some of the action in the 1954 film The Last Time I Saw Paris is set in "Café Dhingo", pronounced exactly like Dingo.  There was no explanation in the film about what the name meant, although it seemed to cater to Americans, just as the original Dingo Bar did.
I've looked extensively for any explanation of the names "Dingo" and "Dhingo" in this Parisian context, but have drawn a blank.  We know that  Jimmy Charters (b. 1897, Rhyl, Wales) was not the owner of the Dingo Bar, so the name didn't come from him.  So, who was the owner, and why did they call it the Dingo Bar?  The French called the Disney character Goofy "Dingo".  Is that it?  Otherwise, could there be some possible connection to the Australian wild dog known as the dingo?  That was not unknown to the French, because Octave Mirbeau had a pet dog called "Dingo", and he wrote a book about it called Dingo..  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:16, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Harry's surname was spelled McElhone, not MacElhone. He was my great-uncle. I have copies of his signature and he always wrote McElhone. The spelling on his family tree is McElhone throughout. The MacElhone spelling is used now for the current bar website etc. in France because the French have difficulty in reading/pronouncing it without the 'a' being written.

The men just look like they are walking along, anyway, and it doesn't depict anything particularly pasodoble, so what's the point in having the photograph at all?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2C4A:1CB0:B835:C78E:8FF9:F2DE (talk) 20:22, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Spanish Fighting Bull

message: Moors actually almost didn´t brought any cattle. If anything, they got some horses from Iberians. Moors were more avid consumers of sheep and goat, like Maghrebians are today!  So the theory that Moors brought cattle and cattle heavily influenced fighting bull, it´s clearly not proven and doesn´t seem to be supported by any evidence. So why bring it up?
North african taurine cattle markers, are actually not that common on Iberian fighting cattle breed. And even those so-called North African markers may not be North African at all. But even if it are, it are  rare and located.
 mtDNA T1 (the main supposed responsible for this influence)  has a minor expression in Iberia, and influenced only few herds and breeds and probably it´s important to note that T1 has been found also in Middle Eastern cattle, though it has the biggest diversity in North Africa (with 63 different T1 haplotypes). Europe has 11 different T1 haplotypes, and both North Africa and Europe, in fact, only share 2 identic haplotypes!!. So not even the rare (in Iberia) T1 seems to clearly connect Iberian and North African cattle. Even if there was such connection, it´s not important and it´s very located. Compare it with traditional Iberian and European markers...
Miura is one of the rare fighting cattle herds that have this T1.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.114.252.28 (talk) 09:56, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

″The Old Goths and Greeks had Solar Cults referring to 'Alberich'; when bishop Ulfilas first spoke them about Jesus (Ulfilas belonged to Arianism), he warned all their previous deities being devils, a concept arriving to french literature and music, presenting them and German women as close to lawless witches.

thread_title:  Two Reference sections 

message: :Bobby Kennedy is a hypocritical, left-wing beatnik without a beard who carelessly and recklessly distorts the facts.
This quote needs historical context.  Hardcore segregationists like Barnett deliberately criticized integrationists as left-wingers, liberals, and communists because they believed that civil rights and equal opportunity for African Americans was a conspiracy by foreign influences to weaken their systemic white supremacy, and the white US hegemony.  The Christian Right, particularly the more extreme Southern Baptists, had a large role to play in this perceptual distortion of the goals, methods, and aims of the civil rights movement.  Analogously, and much later in time, we saw a similar tactical strategy occur in the US over the last two decades, with the election of Obama, the first black President, being described as a communist or socialist conspiracy by the Christian Right, as well as the Black Lives Matter organization and movement being dismissed as Marxists and rioters intent on disrupting America. It’s the same propaganda, spread out over sixty years. Viriditas (talk) 08:54, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
