Talk:Saint-Nazaire

History
The history section starts in the 1930s, with talk of a dry dock. Was Saint-Nazaire a "new town", or did it exist prior to the 1930s? -Ashley Pomeroy 18:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

It is very much older; the 1930s are just the start of the big shipbuilding industry. Settlements have been in the area 6000 years ago (the tumulus in nearby Dissignac is proof of that). By 1800 Saint-Nazaire was a fishermen's village, and the pilots that guided ships to the port of Nantes lived here.

Rewrite
I have basically spent the afternoon rewriting what was an awfully brief article into something which is more akin to what this major ship building port deserves. This was most gained from translating the French wikipedia article, and much as French is poor, this is I hope a better article. If someone who has better language capability that I can now polish up and add a few more pieces, I think it will be a more finished article. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 17:04, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

SS Normandie

 * That section is pretty much lifted straight from the SS Normandie article. Most of it has nothing to do with St. Nazaire, but rather deals with the ship's history. I think we ought to reduce this section greatly, or replace it with a note that the Normandie was constructed there. TheFeds 16:53, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

St Marc sur Mer
Seeing that Saint Marc sur Mer redirects to this page, perhaps discussion of this "suburb" of Naziare is warranted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.24.244.132 (talk) 17:35, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Wrong Coat of Arms
The coat of amrs as shown on this page is probably wrong. See the French page (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Nazaire), they explain that the red background is not correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.199.121 (talk) 20:03, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:


 * http://www.airport-technology.com/projects/newnantes/
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:37, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
