Geography
I replaced the map in this section. The previous one was in the German language and this is the English language Wikipedia !

In addition it was a map of "The Way of St James" an entirely distinct topic from the topic it was illustrating. I had never heard of the Way of St James until I read the caption for the map.

It is not good Wikipedia style to use a specific map to illustrate an article that is not on the same specific topic.

I created a general map of the same region and posted it.

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Cognac moved to Cognac, France and Cognac (brandy) moved to Cognac. Favonian (talk) 17:49, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

– Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, in the absence of a disambiguation page, the predominant use of a term should correspond with the article name. Access statistics show that the brandy consistently has more than 5 times as many page views as the French town. Google and dictionary checks confirm that the beverage is the predominant use of the term. Moreover, I suspect that many of the page views for the French town are actually accidental – due to people looking for information about the brandy and finding a different article than they were seeeking.

 * Cognac → Cognac (French municipality)
 * Cognac (brandy) → Cognac
 * Support Frankly, I'm skeptical that many people even know that Cognac is a place. Note that Champagne describes the wine, and the place it at Champagne (wine region). --BDD (talk) 17:58, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I also prefer Cognac, France as the destination article for the place, and with the nominator in support and no one opposed, I suspect BarrelProof could modify the proposal to make that explicit. --BDD (talk) 15:57, 15 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Alternative suggestion and comment by nom: I notice that there currently is a redirect article at Cognac, France. We could use that for the article about the place in France. As a further comment, I notice that many of the Wikilinks that currently link to Cognac are errors caused by people thinking they are linking to the beverage article – e.g., in Tom Collins, Manhattan (cocktail) (I just removed that one), French 75 (cocktail), XO, Hanky-Panky cocktail, Allied Domecq, Barrel, The Famous Grouse, Aguardiente, etc., etc. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:43, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support, the drink is the primary topic, not the locality. The exact target for the rename could be Cognac, France or anything else that is reasonable. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 01:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support clearly it is the potent potable, not the locality, that is primary. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 05:26, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support but move Cognac to Cognac, France. The drink seems to be the primary topic. There are many incoming links to Cognac that are about the drink, not the place. J I P  &#124; Talk 09:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support the concept with the move of Cognac to Cognac, France. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:23, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

As a result of this move, I have tried to go through all incoming links to Cognac, and change all links to the place, rather than the drink, to Cognac, France. So far I have fixed links in 32 articles, but I don't feel the energy to go through any more today. Probably I'll continue tomorrow. J I P &#124; Talk 19:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Good. I just fixed about 50 more of those links. –BarrelProof (talk) 21:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I just fixed 19 more, but there seems to still be plenty left to fix. I guess fixing all these incoming links will take well into the year 2013. J I P  &#124; Talk 06:48, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, now all the links are fixed. And it only took three days. J I P  &#124; Talk 05:12, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks (on behalf of the readers) for the cleanup. –BarrelProof (talk) 05:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
