Eric Albert (14 October 2014). "Sur Wikipédia, une nouvelle bataille de Paris fait rage: Le 25 septembre, face aux esprits qui s'échauffaient, Wikipédia a gelé l'article anglais sur Paris. On ne peut y apporter de modifications. La querelle se concentre sur la photo placée en tête de l'article. Dans la version française, la tour Eiffel avec la Défense en arrière-plan apparaît ; dans l'anglaise, c'est un photomontage de sites touristiques (la pyramide du Louvre, l'arc de Triomphe, la cathédrale Notre-Dame en arrière-plan…)".

i wish to change the Paris region offical estimated population number from 12.271.794 to 12,271,794 for its more grammatically correct and better pleasing to the eyes. Communistsam23 (talk) 10:56, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please show Paris landmarks, not La Defense

The new image at the top of the lead prominently shows La Defense, and mentions it in the caption, but La Defense is not in Paris. I suggest that the images in the lead should show only the major sites in the city, not places outside. Respectfully, SiefkinDR (talk) 10:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the top image shows the vicinity of the Paris's most famous landmark pretty well. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 20:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The previous image showed the Eiffel Tower very well, even more clearly than the new one, along with the Seine, the bridges and the Musee d'Orsay. It was much more representative of Paris than the new one. This article is on the city of Paris, and La Defense is not in the city of Paris. SiefkinDR (talk) 15:16, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I indicated in my edit comment, a 'Paris Skyline' presenting the towers of La Defense represents future (Grand) Paris, not Paris as it is today. Please stop trying to represent 'future Paris' (whatever it may be, or whatever it may be called), as 'actual truth'. TP ✎ ✓ 16:14, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why two maps showing location of Paris in the Lead?

Wouldn’t one map showing the location of Paris be enough? I vote for the second, original map. SiefkinDR (talk) 13:46, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
