I removed the pronunciation of the Brazilian Nantes, because there is no standard pronunciation for Brazilian Portuguese. I can count six similar, but different ways in which Nantes can be pronounced by a Brazilian. JoaoRicardo 03:59, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Created a new subject heading "Famous people born in Nantes" 213.36.9.227 14:11, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Brittany vs Pays de la Loire

I removed the, "It is also the most important city of Brittany" for "It is also the most important city of historic Brittany, but it is in the Pays de la Loire region." It is actually the capital of that region. Matthieu 21:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

In the "20th century" Nantes was a centre of the slave trade?

Clearly false.

Nantes infobox

TfD nomination of Template:Nantes infobox

Template:Nantes infobox has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. This template is only used in the Nantes article (and only likely to be). Template should be subst'd here and deleted. _└/_talk 19:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

New Infobox Template proposition

I'd like to bring your attention to a new - or other - version of the "Large French Cities" infobox presently at use in a few French cities pages. The present version is much too large, partly because it consecrates too much space to information having little importance to French demography and an only distant and indirect relevence to the city itself. Instead I propose to follow a less cumbersome model closer to that used by the New York City article - you can view the new version in the Paris talk page here. Please view and comment.

As a result of some discussion over the past weeks, there is an updated template available for perusal in its 'published ' form (filled with data) here - all comments welcome. -- THEPROMENADER 07:25, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Inaccurate image

Does anyone else think that the map of France on this page shows Nantes to be to close to the coast? NumberJunkie 02:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, someone's fixed it now NumberJunkie 02:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Public transport

"The system works efficiently with moderate ticket rates, rare delays, constant informations about the network and clean transports". This statement is POV and needs to be backed up with sources or removed --Careless hx 02:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it should be removed, i experienced the system in Nantes once and it has been on of the best transportation system i ever saw. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.22.194 (talk) 03:14, 30 July, 2007 (UTC)

User:67.68.22.194 and his revisions

While his efforts are appreciated, I am completely fed up with his vandalism due to lack of knowledge and sense.

Firstly, there is a 'citation needed' stamp on the lead paragraph because when claims like the one there are made, we need to find a valid citation from a reliable external website to back such up with. Second of all, there is no need to create a separate paragraph entitled 'Nantes and Brittany'; the topic is dealt with in detail at the page Brittany and the relationship between the two is no different or no more special than that between Brittany and anywhere else in the Pays de la Loire that was formerly a part of the province. Thirdly, accents (i.e. á è) are to be left on words, they are their proper titles and you are breaking hyperlinks by changing them. Fourthly, 'Brittany' is not spelt 'Britanny'. Fifthly, titles are not to be fully capitalized, i.e. the correct version of 'Parks And Gardens' is 'Parks and gardens'.

These are all quite simple guidelines, and while once again your efforts are appreciated, it is your responsibility to know these guidelines before you make wholesale changes to an article, on the basis of 'cleaning it'. Finally, please create a user account, it would make this a lot easier. Thank you. Schcambo 10:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

==Schcambo and his vandalism.

It appears that the wikipedia user Schcambo gets really mad when one article is switched back to its original context due to his lack of knowledge about the city of Nantes and his incorrect English. First of all, Nantes And Brittany is a needed article as it is one of the most important part of the history of the city, and this section has been taken from the french article, if you only took a look on the french one! Second of all, fully capitalized titles are the correct way to do so, like Park And Gardens for instance, this is a TITLE, and all the words have to be fully capitalized on a web page. And finally, there is absolutely NO NEED to create an account on Misplaced Pages, that's why no username is required to edit articles.
