The Wedding at Cana
Hallo, Chas. Caltrop! Perhaps I should further explain my edit: "looting" is something individual soldiers do for their personal gain. Those of low rank, that is. If you claim that Napoleon "looted", it either sounds farcical or expresses a strong value judgement. Misplaced Pages should be neither comical nor moralising. There is also a fundamental problem of factual correctness: the 1797 appropriations did not benefit the personal wealth of Napoleon but made the objects seized, property of the French people. The French revolutionary armies were accompanied by special représentants du peuple who systematically took all objects of scientific and artistic interest and had them transported to the collections in Paris.

WP:MOS / MOS:BOLD / WP:LASTNAME
I'm just clarifying some questions about Edward Said. I hope to learn some things in the process. I had taken out the bolded mention of Said's full name in the body. I cited WP:LASTNAME (which says to use the full name on the first mention - which is in the lead - and only the last name subsequently, unless there's some reason to suspect that confusion would result from doing that). I also think that MOS:BOLD is pretty clear (after describing the use of bold in the lead or to redirects to specific sections, it says, "Use boldface in the remainder of the article only in a few special cases.") I'm thinking that it's redundant to describe a polyglot who speaks three languages, just like it wouldn't be necessary to characterize someone as a bilingual individual who speaks English and Spanish.
These seemed like straightforward changes, and I would usually make them without a second thought (or would suggest them to an editor during a Good Article review - which this article has already passed). I figure that most people don't revert changes just for fun, so I must be failing to consider one or more points with these edits. Can you let me know what those are? I appreciate it - and your work to keep one of our Good Articles up to standard. EricEnfermero (Talk) 21:42, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
