"Oscar Wilde's Tomb" Link

On the page "Père Lachaise", there's a peculiar link: Oscar Wilde's Tomb ( Oscar Wilde's Tomb ). The link says "Oscar Wilde's Tomb", but it directs the user to the page "Oscar Wilde". This is misleading. Shouldn't the link be like: Oscar Wilde's Tomb ( Oscar Wilde's Tomb )? Is there some reason behind such a confusing format of linking? --Menchi 02:36 Mar 23, 2003 (UTC)


 * Yes. --mav


 * I think mav means, yes it should be Oscar Wilde's Tomb and no, there is no reason to have Oscar Wilde's Tomb (unless I misunderstood which you were saying "yes" to mav). Hephaestos has already removed the link anyway, it's not needed because there is already a link to Oscar Wilde in the main text. -- sannse 07:15 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

"Bill Richardson wrote a book called Waiting for Gertrude which is set in the cemetery. The characters in the book are cats, reincarnated from those buried within."

I'm pretty sure many books mention the Père Lachaise. Is that Bill Richardson especially notable? David.Monniaux 07:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The title caption for Oscar Wilde's tomb is derogatory in the phrasing of 'girls and homosexuals;' aside from the suspect pejorative of the useage of homosexual, the truth is that no survey is taken to declare the sexual orientation or gender of those attributed to leaving the lipstick marks. Sufficient to say 'admirers' donning 'lipstick' kiss the tomb.
