Angers, in the département of Maine-et-Loire, in France, is one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
Isn't that too subjective? I think that there are thousands of beautiful cities and they cannot be classified as "beautiful", "ugly" etc. webkid 23:20 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
In the introduction it is stated (The area surrounding Angers is more popularly known by its pre-revolutionary, provincial name, Anjou.).
This might be interpreted as Angers being the centre of Anjou, which it is not. Maybe better to phrase as Angers is located in the French region known by its pre-revolutionary, provincial name, Anjou. Mrwooster 03:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I've been doing various edits on this page today and then noticed that this article is basically a copy of the article on Angers from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britanicca. Is this common practice in Wikipedia to lift stuff word for word from the 1911 EB? I know that the 1911 EB is in the public domain, but it seems that word for word copying is not the best idea unless we quote the text.
Beyond this, I think that the article needs a major overhaul. Lots has changed since 1911. I'm going to start doing some research to this effect.-- Vitamin D 2 July 2005 18:41 (UTC)
In the paragraph on history, the article states that in the twelth century it became part of the Angevin empire of Plantagenet Kings of England. I think this statement is the wrong way round, as it is the count of Anjou who became King of England. The accession to the throne of England by counts of Anjou, was due to the fact that Henri I didn't have a heir to the throne, so he arranged with Geoffrey Plantagenet to marry his daughter Matilda, they gave Henri I three grandchildren, the eldest of whom became Henri II. One could say that Angers is the cradle of the Angevin dynasty. -- Blastwizard 02:58, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, very strange, it looks like UCO is the main university; Universite d'Angers, the state run university is hardly mentioned in the article. Last time I checked UCO had 12,000 student and the state university closer to 19,000 and is hardly mentioned, seems partial or disguised advertising. Maybe someone should look into that. Blastwizard 12:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
The external link labelled 'Angers info' seems to link to a page on travel information for Europe as a whole, and following the link on that to Angers doesn't lead anywhere. Can we delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.235.213.160 ( talk) 12:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Some inconsistency's popped up (mostly thanks to the default-UK convert template, I imagine), but this edit established the usage of the page as American English. Kindly maintain it consistently pending a new consensus. — LlywelynII 00:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content! Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 ( talk) 18:30, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
