Talk:Levee (ceremony)

Latest comment: 11 years ago by Johnbod in topic engraving

The title "levée" is not correct. It should be "lever"

See: Talk:Levee (event) for a similar discussion. - Ozzykhan 22:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
According to the article mentioned above Levee (event), Levée du Soleil is the full name given to the King Louis XIV custom. Maybe we should rename this article to that if someone can find a proper source? - Ozzykhan 22:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oop. The English spelling (O.E.D.) got me off on the wrong foot. I was following my source too closely. I grew up with the engraving I've added to the article. --Wetman 00:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC) --00:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphan tag edit

All the articles that link to this page are User pages or other pages somehow related to it February 7th DYK. One page that did link to this was supposed to link to levee - I have fixed that. There is one remaining link which is in the reference section of the particular article. - Ozzykhan 22:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

engraving edit

I considered removing the paragraph on the engraving "Le lever" because it does not seem to deal directly with the royal ceremony this page discusses. Also, it is unsupported by sources and seems like a personal reflection. I decided not to remove it because I'm new to wikipedia so I'd need some concensus.

Actually the aristocratic lever needs coverage too, but I have moved it to the bottom. It certainly should have a reference, but I suspect is more likely to be lifted from some museum site as a WP:COPYVIO than "a personal reflection". Johnbod (talk) 02:18, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
