Talk:Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, Duke of Penthièvre

Redundant & trivial content

A lot of unsourced edits are being uploaded rapidly to articles on French royalty. Some appear dubious, others wrong. Yet requests for reputable citations are ignored, deleted, or inadequately sourced (page numbers in books are essential to verify if the citation is accurate) -- while the wholesale editing continues. Please respond to these requests, either with reputable sources or more careful edits, before adding additional unsourced material. Also, much of the added material is redundant, excessive, or trivial. I've already recorded repeated objections to 1. unsourced allegations (e.g. that seem unprecedented, unlikely, or undocumentable) are apt to be deleted unless precisely sourced 2. redundancies (if it's in a box on the page, it's apt to be deleted from the text): 3. excess (details which belong in another person's article [e.g. parent, spouse, child], or which describe hard-to-verify details [e.g. "She felt envious": unless it's an attributed quote from a diary or correspondence -- how is it possible to know what someone who died hundreds of years ago "felt" or "thought"? Let's stick to what they verifiably said or did]), 4. gallicization (names and titles when combined, OK [but members of dynasties that ruled outside France -- Lorraine, Savoy, Modena, Bouillon, Monaco, etc -- shouldn't be gallicized, except for cadets born into a branch naturalised in France]; well-known phrases, yes; untranslatable terms, maybe; just for the sake of a more "French" sound or "feel" to the article -- not usually, and subject to deletion). Other editors will, of course, have their own views. Please don't use sockpuppets. I look forward to better mutual cooperation -- and better Wiki articles. Thanks.

Legacy

In level of importance, is not out of place the mention A street in Paris near the Avenue des Champs Élysées is named for the duc de Penthièvre... etc. Historically speaking, this paragraph has no place in Penthièvre's true legacy, such as the House of Bourbon-Penthièvre, his wealth & the Chapelle royale at Dreux. A footnote would be a better place for it. Moving it down after Chapelle royale at Dreux. Frania W. (talk) 14:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

renaming of article

In his move of article Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre to Louis Jean Marie, Duke of Penthièvre, why has user Tbharding skipped the duc de Penthièvre/Duke of Penthièvre's surname *de Bourbon*? Frania W. (talk) 20:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
