Talk:English Channel

English name / French name

One would think that the French name of a part of the sea between England and France should be mentioned in the first paragraph of its article, especially when the English name is "The English Channel"... 123popos123 (talk) 21:06, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

In the French article the English name is there, and in the English article about the straight of Dover the French name is there... I'm putting it in. 123popos123 (talk) 21:11, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

You dont just do this because you want to? You need refs and sources and a consensus. The whole world calls it the English Channel, no-one apart from a small part of france use the french name. If you want to make this it goes as a small addion much lower down in the article once you have correct sources and reached consensus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:22D:CA01:389A:812D:CBD:83B (talk) 16:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Your comment is so funny I suspect that you are trying to troll. A little part of France uses it... Which part uses English Channel? That would be interesting to know your sources. Besides this, in the neighboring countries, I thought it was Ärmelkanal, Manica, Mànega, Mancha... Very weird ways to say English Channel IMHO. Birdie (talk) 13:36, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Is the Shakespeare quote necessary?

There’s a Shakespeare quote at the top of human history. It doesn’t seem relevant to anything else, and it does not feel very professional to me. Lettuce Spice (talk) 15:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

You're right. I've commented it out (so that if someone else can justify it here and write an explanation about it in the appropriate place, it's still there waiting). Bazza (talk) 20:09, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
