Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Lanterne des Morts Sarlat.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 9, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-01-09. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:29, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lanterns of the Dead
A Lantern of the Dead in Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne, France. Such small stone towers are found chiefly in the centre and west of France. They are often thought to have indicated cemeteries through lights exhibited at the top of the structures.Photograph: Jebulon

Singular title?

[edit]

Under the general principle that singular titles are preferred (WP:PLURAL), shouldn't this be moved to Lantern of the Dead over the redirect?--ukexpat (talk) 02:19, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Sorry for my very bad English ... and perhaps for the bad place of this message ! (I need your response for a new web site about a french monument with such a lantern)

Google speaks either about "lantern of the dead" or "lantern for the dead". I think that the second one is better, the lantern was erected in remembrance for persons who died. Is there somebody to give the good way to me ?

Thanks
