It's a pity I can't edit as it is original research, but the Paris meridian certainly didn't get replaced extensively in France after 1914: I have an undated French atlas published about 1931 or 1932 that uses it exclusively throughout. And the current French standard IGN large-scale maps ( 1 : 25 000 ) show both the Paris- and Greenwich-based longitudes. I don't have access to the law establishing the IGN but it was signed on 14 September 1940, very shortly after the Nazi conquest of France, and perhaps the Greenwich meridian was thought to be a bit risky at the time.

Well it did say "WARNING: Plot ending/details follow" before that, so it was really your decision/choice to read that part of the article =(.

Can i also query this information? There is much data (google earth, GPS readings) which says that the line is 2 20 11 4 E ,but I note that the wikipedia article on the IERS reference meridian also quotes 2 20 14 025 E.

What is meant by "local meridian" in this article, what one does that refer to? Шизомби 13:08, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
"The meridian passes about 350 meters (yards) west of the site of the so-called 'Poussin tomb,' an ..."
Is the (yards) specifically mentioned in The Treasure of Rennes-le-Château? Although this is not an exact measurement (~350m), an equivalent amount of yardage is about 380yd. Nee-wom 22:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
"Indeed the exact position of Ferro was never considered to be one of the best."
that means hehahahahhahaa

The result of the move request was: page moved per use in sources (even in the links from the NGram). -- JHunterJ ( talk) 18:21, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Paris Meridian → Paris meridian – There is no basis for the capitalization. This term is overwhelmingly lower case in sources. relisted -- Mike Cline ( talk) 13:11, 13 April 2012 (UTC) Dicklyon ( talk) 02:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Three support, three oppose, why was this moved at all? Also Ngrams and books matter only little, since this falls under house style. And the house style in Wikipedia is to capitalize. HTML2011 ( talk) 20:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
