Talk:Montagne Sainte-Victoire

Name

Why not "Mont Sainte-Victoire"? Surely this is far more common? Johnbod 18:37, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Montagne is more common, though arguably not correct. But everyone says la montagne sainte victoire...Zigzig20s 18:49, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

In French, locally, perhaps. But Cezanne's paintings are always described as of "Mont" SV, which suggests that is what should be used in WP. Johnbod 19:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Basically, 'Mont' is arguably more correct because some say it is not high enough to be a mountain. But I really don't think Cézanne should have his last say on the whole thing, so to speak. There is more to the Sainte-Victoire than just Cézanne.Zigzig20s 04:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

WP policy is to use the most commonly used term in English; it didn't help that the article did not even have a redirect from "Mont" - I had great difficulty finding it. Mont is used in other contexts in English also - I had never heard Montagne before. That would of course keep a redirect. I think there should be a poll. Johnbod 14:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Why not 'Mont'? Because people native to the region knows it as 'montagne' -see for example http://www.aixenprovencetourism.com/aix-sainte-victoire.htm I know this brings up the language issue and that 'montagne' is not an English term (Neither is 'mont'), but there's my twopence worth.

1989 fire pictures?

Does anyone have pictures of the infamous 1989 fire? That would be interesting to see...Zigzig20s 05:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a composite panoramic view that gives a pretty good impression of the mountain. How about it? - Benzband (talk) 19:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
