Deleted because of inappropriate and non-relevant content.

I believe this page should include links to pages regarding the batlles of versailles.

Fix "Name section"

I also believe that this article's "Name" section should be derastically shortened and split into many sections.Penubag 06:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)penubag

Sister Cities?

Hello. Greetings from Nara, Japan. Does anyone have a plan to add a Sister City listing over here? Versailles is a sister city of Nara. I guess there are a lot other sister city for Vesailles besides Nara, too. --OhMyDeer 09:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Why is it shrinking?

People moving to suburbs? old cramped apartments being renovated? office space taking over? These are my guesses, anyone know? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.110.221.182 (talk) 22:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

Who ruled from Versailles?

Was the Palace of Versailles where Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI ruled from? and if not, then where? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.58.37.0 (talk) 19:03, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Queen Susan Emanuel?

This is apparently spurious. What is the history of the palace's transformation into a national museum? Did Marie Amélie, Queen of the French (1830-48) indeed have a hand in preserving Versailles? I can find no evidence that she did.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jperrylsu (talk • contribs) 01:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

sister city with Canberra?

Both Canberra and Versailles list Nara as a sister city, however Canberra does not list Versailles as a sister, but the current edit shows Versailles listing Canberra as a sister. I'm from Canberra and am unaware of this sister city link. Anyone heard of this link from the Versailles side? --.../Nemo (talk • Contributions) 03:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Canberra was a sister city with Nara but in 1996 or so, as part of the uproar over French nuclear testing in the Pacific, Canberra ended the relationship as a protest. Such protests may have contributed to France's decision to end testing soon after.

Hang the Mayor

In 1870, the invading Prussian troops were going to hang the mayor of Versailles, but the Prussian King, William I stopped them. Mention? 2A00:23C3:E284:900:3198:34CD:FE5F:5731 (talk) 01:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
