Wikipedia talk:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-09-10 List of Tallest buildings and structures in Paris

Unwelcome view from an outsider
Gosh. Is this really the first talk comment?

Anyway... I was invited to... advise?... on all this great debate. But I'm not going to, sorry. Or at least I'm not going to hold the ring in any sense. But I will say... from the point of view of an Englander... that I would expect the corresponding English page to be ...in London, and not worry about what the exact boundaries would be. I would also say that you have to think about people searching for this page, so it needs to respond to "tallest buildings paris"... and in general shorter titles are better. But ultimately I would go with Hardouins comment I was thinking today there are people who are dying of starvation in Niger at the very same moment that some rich Westerners waste so much time and energy in totally useless controversies like this one. So although I would tend to be on his side on the naming issue, I humbly suggest that this is going to be one of those arguments you look back on in future years and think "why did I bother"? And if one side has realised that, then... William M. Connolley 18:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
