Maxim's Paris → Maxim's – There is no restaurant in Paris called "Maxim's Paris", the name of the restaurant is just "Maxim's", and nothing else... period (simply check the French Wikipedia article, for example, among so many other official and non official sources on internet). So, I moved "Maxim's" to "Maxim's (disambiguation)" and now "Maxim's Paris" should be moved to "Maxim's". Thank you. Kintaro (talk) 13:48, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please note that this is a malformed multimove request, as the suggested destination name is already occupied (or at least it was until the nominator made an undiscussed move around the same time as filing this request). —BarrelProof (talk) 23:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. Correct and common name and clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:43, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per Necrothesp. Also, is a dab-page still necessary after this move, since there is only one other Maxim's? - HyperGaruda (talk) 12:30, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree with that. The disambiguation page is in fact not needed, a simple exchanged link between both articles should be enough ("this article is bla bla bla... for the article bla bla bla, see bla bla"). By the way: even if I was the first proponent... can I bring my own "support" vote? or it is prohibited by the rules? Kintaro (talk) 22:35, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * As the proposer, your support for the proposal is taken as read. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

[Untitled]
The article should have been 'moved' to its new title of Maxim's Paris - not just redirected from its original title of ''Maxim's de Paris.

Because the article was only redirected and not moved, the editing history (prior to the redirection of the page) has been lost within the editing history of the new title (although it is still available in the history section of the original title of the article).

Could somebody who is able to do so, please correct this and return the complete 'editing history' (from 10 November, 2005) for this article from the original history information for Maxim's de Paris, and merging it with the editing history which has taken place since the redirection. Thank you.

For the record, I was the creator of the original article in November, 2005. Figaro 10:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have added a histmerge template to request the cleanup. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:32, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Maxims-The-Merry-Widow.jpg
Image:Maxims-The-Merry-Widow.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Low-importance?
Maxim's is one of the most famous restaurants in Paris (and thus in the whole world)... how can it be rated as "Low-importance" on the "WikiProject Food and drink"? On the same WikiProject, La Tour d'Argent is rated as High-importance, and I fully agree with that, but Maxim's should be rated the same! Kintaro (talk) 06:10, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
