Urban/Metro

I tried to edit the urban/metro population to no avail, perhaps somebody would want to look into it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mihaigalos (talk • contribs) 20:00, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

If you have a reliable source for a different figure, feel free to mention it here. But don't scrunch up text on talk pages ... it's not helpful at all. Graham87 04:53, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Nice → Nice, France – There are many notable topics with the word "Nice". It is a general word in English, so let leave "Nice" redirects to "Nice (disambiguation)". Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 11:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

• FYI. This was discussed in 2008 and the result was "not moved". Jenks24 (talk) 14:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose: the French city is by far the most important topic about which it is possible to write an encyclopedic article. Graham87 15:07, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • The city name "Nice" is not unique; so it should be like other cities, which don't have unique names, have a country name along with it. Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 15:52, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
    • Just to satisfy my curiosity: will you make similar proposals for Paris and London, which have equally non-unique names? Favonian (talk) 15:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
      • No. "London" and "Paris" are unique name, and they're also not general English words. So, I won't, sir. Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 17:12, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
        • You may want to check out Paris (disambiguation) and London (disambiguation). Neither are even close to being unique. Jenks24 (talk) 04:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose. Unless evidence to the contrary is produced, I believe that the French city meets the requirements of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC regarding usage. The mere existence of alternatives is not sufficient—and for the record: the lengths of Paris (disambiguation) and London (disambiguation) demonstrate how non-unique those two names are. Favonian (talk) 17:33, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose per Graham and Favonian. Dohn joe (talk) 18:04, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose, see above. Subtropical-man (talk) 19:26, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Support too ambiguous. Seems fairly obvious someone could look for the English language word and end up here instead. Hot Stop 21:03, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose the city is massively the most important term for the word. Anyone searching for 'pleasant things' isn't even on the right wiki --Saalstin (talk) 21:09, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose, if wp had an article on niceness it'd be at the noun, not the adjective wikt:nice. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. I checked the niceness link and it's a Wiktionary re-direct. If an article on niceness is created, I'm sure it will be on Afd with the result being to re-direct to virtue. Georgia guy (talk) 00:43, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose. If the word "nice" was a noun, I could see your point. But adjectives shouldn't have encyclopedia entries. Until another town or thing named "nice" becomes as notable as this one, it should stay as is. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:29, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose per everyone voted "Oppose". Steam5 (talk) 05:37, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose as per comments above and in the previous move request. Kiwipete (talk) 08:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose I glanced over the dab page and see nothing that looks like it garner enough traffic to challenge this topic as being primary for "Nice". --Born2cycle (talk) 21:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• FYI. A similar discussion is at Talk:Big#Requested move. --Born2cycle (talk) 21:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. —  AjaxSmack  02:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose, I wouldn't know which of these entries would even come close to the primaryness of the town Nice. The adjective, as suggested by the nom, I'd say would one of the least reasons to move the page. --The Evil IP address (talk) 18:51, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

History

I bring you the explanations of Nice Nice is French but has an Italian history Gaul (wikipedia) Nice wasn't in Gaul but in north of Italy in Cisalpine Gaul (wikipedia). The Var (river) was the historic border until 1860 with Treaty of Turin. Catherine Ségurane is the emblem of the city Siege of Nice (wikipedia) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryan1760 (talk • contribs) 09:16, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything; use reliable sources about history instead. Cisalpine Gaul was part of Gall, hence its name. You're adding irrelevant details that are already mentioned in the main articles about the topics, disrupting the flow of the article about Nice. In particular, the Treaty of Turin is already mentioned in the "Nice and Savoy" section and there's no need to mention it in the lead section. Your edits also have an Italian irredentist slant; nationalism of any kind is not welcome on Wikipedia. Graham87 11:21, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

marseille was not a city in this time but a Greek counter it was the Phocaean of Asia minor which founded the city of Nice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.249.171.204 (talk) 22:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Letter of Garibaldi

Nice was annexed in France at the same time and under the same conditions as Savoy. Both appoint niçois Garibaldi and Laurenti-Roubaudi sent this letter of protest to the Parliament of Turin to denounce the conditions of the plebiscite: Babylon 10

" Mister President,

" Seen the result of the vote of the county of Nice, which took place on 15 inst., without any legal guarantee, in obvious violation of the freedom and the regularity of the ballot and the pledges were stipulated in the treaty of transfer of March 24th;

" Waited, that such a vote took place in a country which nominally still belonged to the Sardinian State and which was free to choose between this one and France, but which was in reality completely in the hands of this last power, occupied militarily and subjected to all the influences of the material strength, as us prove him(it) without possible contesting the testimonies of the Chamber(room) and the country; " Since the present vote took place with very grave irregularities, but which the experience(experiment) of past refuses us any hope to see orderly a survey(investigation) on this subject;

" We undersigned, believe of our duty to put down(to deposit) our representatives' mandate(representatives' money order) of Nice, by protesting against the act of fraud and violence committed, until the time(weather) and the circumstances allow we and our fellow countrymen to assert(to derive profit from) with a real freedom our rights, which cannot be decreased by an illegal and fraudulent pact "

Giuseppe Garibaldi - Laurenti-Roubaudi

Nissa

This article claim: Niçard Occitan: Niça [classical norm] or Nissa [nonstandard],that is a very odd claim. Thing is that the official street signs entering the town says "Nice/Nissa" and nothing else. Nissa is the minority name for the town. The local football team OGC Nice supporter club is cheers "Issa Nissa" and I have never seen Niça in the streets there. the old town is very Italian and I believe is fair to be called Nissa and the rest of the town is very French and should be named Nice I think.
