Talk:Château de Chinon

Gallo-Roman castrum
I was able to find a source for the Gallo-Roman fort on the site, but Wheeler didn't go any earlier than the 5th century, although that doesn't rule out the site being earlier especially as new evidence may have been found in the last 30 years. I have removed the following statement from the article because I couldn't find a source for it:

"recent excavations during the restoration of the château have uncovered arms and ornaments dating from the 1st century AD."

It's quite possible some 1st century finds may have been discovered during the restoration which began in 2003, but I'm leaving the information here until a source can be presented. Nev1 (talk) 16:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion for external link
I would like to suggest the following external link. It has both text and plenty of good images. ...although for the image gallery you have to click the link at the bottom of the page. Collieman (talk) 15:36, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if it's worth including. It bears a striking resemblance to this old version of the Wikipedia article. Nev1 (talk) 15:44, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I hadn't given the duplicate text any thought before. I guess you get so used to reading the same ideas time and again that you lose sight of questions like this. I ran the page through copyscape and there were something like 27 other sites with similar phrases. Ok a lot were Q&A sites but it does show the extent that phrases get duplicated. Interestingly when i ran the detailed information page ( behind the main intro page ) there were no duplicates at all. The original request was really based around the value of the images



and the video embedded



which I thought between them added something worthwhile. Let me just leave it that if ever you felt it was worthwhile making the link then it would be very welcome Kind regards
