Some decisions to be made about the Paris Arrondissements. Rough outline below. -- Tarquin 07:21 Jul 26, 2002 (PDT)
Paris is not the only city in France with Arrondissements. For that matter, is the word used in other countries for other things?
AFAIK, Lyon has them too, perhaps Lille (not sure)
We need to standardize how they are referred to in text. Options are:
Does each Arrondissement need a page to itself?
For the page names, see above.

Hi Olivier, is the list of streets of each arrondissement of Paris really useful ? It would be better restricted to a very few important streets like the Champs-Elysées or Rue Mouffetard, in my opinion. (That is, streets that are likely to get their own entry in the encyclopedia ?) E.g. the list for the 5th arrondissement is not too bad, but the one for the 6th arrondissement looks definitely too big. -- FvdP 20:18 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)
Good question. Starting a couple of arrondissement pages was my tentative answer to the discussion of the Talk Page: a page each? I believe so.
Now regarding the content: I would be in favor of actually listing all the streets of Paris (maybe at the bottom of the article rather than at the top, as it is currently the case). Many streets have names, which people (including most Parisians) often do not know what they are related to. Listing the streets gives the opportunity to link many street names to Wikipedia articles, thus demystifying them. Additionally, many streets have an history (especially in the 5th, 6th, and other central arrondissements): former names, located in place of former buildings (convents, medieval towers...), built in place of former fortifications. Many of them have hidden gems: for instance the workshop of Picasso was located in the Rue des Grands Augustins (that's where he panted Guernica or Les demoiselles d'avignon. Not completely sure which one). The action of Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu, a novel by Balzac takes place in the same building. I think that this information would be interestingly placed next to the street name in the 6th arrondissement article. Of course such pieces of information might seem minor, but in my experience, they tend to matter to people living in Paris, and to visitors as well.
That being said, I am very open to any suggestion/comment regarding the format of the arrondissement articles. Ultimately, the 'pedia community will decide. - User:Olivier
Maybe at least put the (long) street list at the end of the article: that is a good suggestion; or in a separate article like "List of 5th arrondissement streets". In the latter case the most significant streets should still be referenced in the main article, maybe along the other significant places & monuments. -- FvdP 17:49 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)
"French" is a proper noun in English, and needs to be capitalized. 71.156.15.166 22:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
is kaymakam a same rank for arrondisments?-- 3210 06:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
In various articles I see arrondissement and arrondissment (no "e" between "diss" and "ment"). Which is right? Are both right? Jordan Brown ( talk) 17:43, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
It seems there is an issue between this article, when it sets "Each of Cameroon's departments are subdivided into arrondissments: they sit above subdistricts and communes in Cameroon's structure" and Communes of Cameroon, that sets "The Communes of Cameroon are the third-level units of administration in Cameroon", i.e. communes sit above arrondissments (or maybe they are the same thing ....)

Luxembourg appears to be missing from this article, despite having arrondissements judiciaires (per French Wikipedia). 216.15.48.194 ( talk) 02:18, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
This article appears to be missing the arrondissements of Guadeloupe/Martinique. Would it be better to place that information under the France or North America heading? Aricardo1917 ( talk) 17:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
