Pronunciation (IPA) Request
The correct pronunciation should be added to this article since the French pronunciation isn't always apparent for English speakers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.118.36.44 (talk • contribs) 27 September 2009

Rename as Loire (department)?
I think the article should renamed Loire (department), so that the Loire (river) article can be named simply Loire.

Justificaton:
 * 1) In my opinion, the river is much more significant than the department.
 * 2) By precedent, this is how the articles on the Rhone river and department are handled, and also this is how the French Wikipedia handles them (see Loire and Loire (département)).

If no one objects in the next week, I'll go ahead and have the necessary moves done. --A bit iffy (talk) 08:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
