Talk:Château de la Motte

"Artistically" photoshopped images
I have removed a number of photographic images which have been run through posterization, oil painting, and other "artistic" bitmap filters. Images on Wikipedia should be descriptive, and not artistic (or at least, if they are artistic, it should not be at the expense of descriptiveness). I think it would be great if the contributor could upload the original, unprocessed versions of these. However, it's not necessary to include all of them in this article, which is rather heavy on images. The article could still do with some more image pruning. Galleries should be uploaded to Commons and then linked to from here.

I also removed the Black Death animation as this doesn't have much to do with the subject of this article. Possibly some other similar images should also be removed. —Psychonaut (talk) 20:03, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

reason for including location
I appreciate the attention to the article, however the change may cause much more confusion in the future. If you do a search on chateau de la motte Wikipedia France you will see dozens with the same name. It is not a family or place name but a description name. A motte is an earth mound fortress built during from the viking age to the 1200's. La Motte may be the most common chateau name in France.I chose the title location to differentuate this one from others that may eventually be included on the the English Wikipedia. I followed what seemed to be the French system by naming it after the commune the chateau sits in. Most La Motte chateaux are more prominent than this one.Mlane (talk) 16:33, 6 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Take a look at Category:Châteaux in France for examples of the names of other chateaus. Disambiguation (which is in effect what you do when you add the location) is only necessary to avoid confusion with other Wikipedia articles. If and when there are articles about other chateaus with the same name, the title issue can be revisited. – ukexpat (talk) 16:40, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

This seems to be an issue now with the famous TV show. Strange wikipedia article. It is like not an enclyopedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.39.88 (talk) 04:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
