Talk:Étaples

Contradictory information
Whilst the geographical coordinates in the top-right corner of this article give 50˚30'51"N 1˚37'17"E, whilst the bullet point list (which should really be in an appropriate template) says 50°31'07"N 1°38'29"E. French wikipedia gives 50°31’07"N 1°38’ 29"E. Since I know nothing about the town (having come across the article during research), I cannot fix the problem myself. Would somebody appropriate address this. --Svm2 20:50, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The bullet points have now been replaced with an infobox (thanks me!), but the coordinates contradiction (described below) is still there. If nobody objects in the next 48 hours, I will use the coordinates as given by French wikipedia as definitive. --Svm2 16:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

The action described in my previous entry has been executed. If you would like to see for yourself the two conflicting coordinates on a map, click here (the coordinates used in this article as well as on French wikipedia is the one towards the top with the play symbol in a green background), and make a case for either, please do so on this discussion page at any point. May I also remind anybody creating articles about French communes to use the appropriate template (which is found on this article) instead of making a bullet point list or a custom table. --Svm2 18:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Article rewritten
The expansion of the article by RJP in 2006 ought to have been challenged long ago. It was poorly referenced, written from a mainly English point of view, and contained a large amount of irrelevant information about English history. The revision has tried to address some of these problems. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 00:36, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

You are wrong. English history and also Dutch history, is indeed highly relevent to Estaples, and most of land north of the Somme river. A good deal of these places are (to this day) still longer been Dutch/English then French. Tough if you no likey, it's what happens when your imperialistic, most of the rim of France is annexed land - and oft at the blessing of the English/British. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.57.38 (talk) 21:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

When was Étaples annexed into France?
Étaples like most of the abodes about there, was not always within France and culturally even longer non-French. Can the aforesaid get a byword? Weird it's been left out of it's history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.57.38 (talk) 21:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Quentovic archaeological museum
The Quentovic archaeological museum has long been closed pour des raisons de vétusté du bâtiment (disrepair) and there seem to be no specific plans to reopen it. I cannot find a source for this information, nor can I find any source for the museum's continued existence. Even the museum's Web site is closed. I am removing it from the Places of interest to forestall visitor disappointment. Frans Fowler (talk) 21:00, 17 June 2021 (UTC)


 * The town site says the museum is closed indefinitely. The blacklisted france-voyage.com explains that it was housed in a 16th-century building which "was closed in 2015 for safety reasons". Sweetpool50 (talk) 21:42, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
