It used to be I was trying to deny German history in favor of the Slavs -- now I'm accused of trying to deny Frence history in favor of the Germans. Is this an encyclopedia or a resting-place for irredentism? Sheesh!
To be fair, DW writes some really good stuff, but doesn't seem to care that scholarship has moved on in the past 30-50 years if it affects la Gloire de la France. I'm beginning to think there's no room here for experts.

I've spoken up on your behalf, for whatever good it will do. Nationalism gets weird.

There is. There'd better be--I can't write or research all this stuff, and I'm not an expert, so I need some who are.

I'm a little concerned about the images DW's uploading. I've got the impression that those are not in the public domain. The image uploaded for [[Chenonceaux]] seems to be by a photograph who's selling posters: http://www.allposters.com/gallery.asp?aid=939101&item=1641

Julie,
How about beefing up the [[Irredentism]] and [[Revanchism]] articles and adding a link to them on every page where this stuff comes up? If those articles mentioned disputes about the proper nationality of Transcarpathian Ruthenia, and all the others, then the cross-reference would alert readers whenever there was any such in the referring article.
I personally suspect you represent the Julian family of emperors and are planning to retake the whole Roman Empire back from usurpers.
