This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

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…)".

Two identical maps?

Hi all, why are there two largely identicial maps with the location of Paris in the country? I understand that the second can be altered to another map, but it still seems highly redudant... Having both pushes the history images further down than their associated section on my screen. Aza24 (talk) 17:53, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Paris hosts the French Open ?

In the sentence before, the Stade de France is said to be located in the “neighbouring commune of Saint-Denis”. Then why the Boulogne-Billancourt-based French Open would be host by Paris ?

Same for the PSG, based in Paris and the suburb town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Poissy. 2001:861:5602:2180:1028:EF9D:A5B2:6E60 (talk) 09:12, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Paris FC

The introductory paragraph mentions that Paris is home to Paris-Saint-Germain (Ligue 1), but now that Paris FC (based at the Jean Bouin stadium) is also in Ligue 1, it's time to mention it too. 92.184.98.157 (talk) 21:02, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
