Talk:Port-Gentil

Removed (re Émile Gentil) the mission he ran in the 1890s. Colonial administrators of the secular French state did not run missions! Pehaps something else was meant? -- Picapica 11:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Probably a garble, but Warofdreams didn't include a reference with the addition, so hard to say. Removing in the meantime is the correct thing to do. Stan 16:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Reply


I seem to have a mental block on cleanly illustrating Wikipedia articles, so I won't mess up the Port Gentil article. However, I spent the month of August, 2007 in this city, and took over 2,000 photographs. I have uploaded a few generic scenes of the city to Wikipedia, someone who's better at editing articles than myself please feel free to integrate some or all of them into the appropriate article(s)...

Great; I've added two of these to the article. Warofdreams talk 00:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


Climate: Sorry, but the given lowest temperatures recorded are not realiable. Freezing temperatures at a tropical coastal station do not occur. I don't have data for the site, but I'm sure (being a climatologist) the recorded minimums are for each month clearly above 10°C (compare lowest in record with Doula some 500km north at Cameron coast).

Youre long gone, I know, but I want to thank you even so for pointing this out. A lot of people wouldnt even have noticed. Soap 15:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
