Talk:St. Bartholomew's Day massacre

Move to St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre
Hard to believe that but the page is in the wrong place. This article refers to a single event known as the (specific) St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, not one (particular) St Bartholomew's Day massacre out of many. "The massacre on St Bartholomew's Day" would be correct, but this phrasing isn't.

That's just simple grammar, but—for the process hounds—yes, the correct grammar is also substantially the more  in actual use. Google Scholar's searches can't parse by capitalization as far as I know but scanning the first few pages of results shows the correct capitalization is similarly generally favored in scholarly sources as well. (Keeping or not keeping the period is a issue as far as I know, but it's more commonly written with the period in this instance, anyway.)

Let's fix this. — Llywelyn II   13:15, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose Looking at your searches and others, I'm not seeing a preponderence of "M"s. "SBDM" is much more common than "MofSBD", but the M is capitalized or not about 50% of the time. Indeed, "no one's brought this up before", and I'm inclined to leave it. Johnbod (talk) 13:27, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Support to show it is a name and not a descriptive title (per WP:POVNAME). But User:LlywelynII this needs to be done as a WP:RM as the oppose view shows it is contentious. -- PBS (talk) PBS (talk) 11:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Discredited Memoirs of Marguerite and Henry III
Discredited by who? How? Where can I find an English version of Henry's? Where would I find information about the process of determining the credibility of historical documents? The changes of culture and how it affects how history is viewed is as fascinating to me as finding out the "facts". Sometimes what people "think" happened is as significant as what "actually" happened. 2001:569:72BA:B200:2044:3CD2:A213:310D (talk) 02:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Add discussion of Huguenot refugees
My understanding is that the massacre caused a great influx of refugees, some within France but especially outside it. I hope someone can add a discussion of the extent, the timeline, and the long-term effects of this emigration. Barnyard fowl (talk) 02:57, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * This is true, but it is a subject that merits its own page. The information is scattered over a half a dozen pages at present. Anyone up to the job?
