Hi, don't worry about a typo in a page move; an admin can fix that easily. But what made you think LGV in LGV Méditerranée was incorrect? Didn't you see all the other pages linked to with LGV in their titles? You don't seriously believe all the many people who wrote and edited all the following pages don't know what they're talking about? LGV Sud-Est LGV Atlantique LGV Rhône-Alpes LGV Nord LGV Méditerranée LGV Est

The first sentence explains that the article is not about the Train but the high speed railway Line, and the English words for train and line are not by accident the same as in French. If you'd clicked on the link there for high speed railway line you'd have found the explanation for the acronym LGV. --Espoo 21:26, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In a word: OOPS. I'm a total newbie here, trying to contribute what I can - when I saw "LGV" referenced on the page for Avignon, I thought to myself that must be a typo because I'd always heard of the TGV, but never of the LGV. So I just wandered over and "corrected" it, thinking I was doing the right thing. Sorry for the mistake, thanks for the explanation. I'm learning!! Micoucou 17:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, we all make those kind of and worse mistakes, and not only when we start out. And it's better to be bold and make mistakes than being too careful and not daring to improve WP; see WP:bold. Enjoy your time here and let me know if you have questions or need help. --Espoo 17:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
