The history summary is too tangled to unwind with a short edit, but Joan of Arc did not expel the English from Reims. The city was subject to the independent duke of Burgundy and opened changed allegiance peacefully when she entered. Durova 21:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
On my screen,duderino the article doesn't start until about 2 screens down, due to the info box presumably. Can this be fixed? Davidbod 10:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)dude
Is the abbey the same structure as St Remi Basilica or are they 2 different structures?

Whereas this is an article in the English Wikipedia, I have moved it to the English name for the city concerned, which is "Rheims". I shall make the needful adjustments to the text, and sort out any linking complications. -- Lonewolf BC 23:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
In English it's 'Rheims'. In the city itself in English it's Rheims, which goes to show a long and honourable history long before America was invented. Or am I required in Wikipedia to spell that 'honorable'? Drg40 ( talk) 17:56, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Since most English speakers who are familiar with Rheims are probably going to be familiar with this city because of the Douay-Rheims Bible, keeping the traditional spelling (with the h) seems in order. 64.85.229.248 ( talk) 07:58, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was page moved. Skomorokh, barbarian 11:23, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Rheims → Reims — [Although "Rheims" may be the historically correct name, it is hardly used elsewhere; the commonly accepted name is the French spelling "Reims"] -- Daemonic Kangaroo ( talk) 21:31, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose Reims is used by 508 English language books published since 1990, while Rheims is used by 570. Thus, Rheims is the most common name, as well as the historically correct name. Surtsicna ( talk) 08:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Let's have a look at other tertiary sources for a general audience as suggested by WP:NAME - Britannica uses Reims, Columbia uses Reims, Encarta uses Reims, World Book uses Reims, the Catholic Encyclopedia uses Reims - a full house there. What about recent use in media? Google news gives about 1,740 uses for Reims, and only 24(!) for Rheims. That alone sheds serious doubt on the continuing use of Rheims in standard English writing. The city's website uses Reims for itself in English [3] also. The evidence supports the move quite strongly. Knepflerle ( talk) 13:34, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Support. Rheims is old-fashioned like Marseilles, Leghorn, Elsinore, Brunswick and other names that were in regular use in English but very rare now. Over time, the number of cities that have commonly used special names in English is diminishing and English Wikipedia, read throughout the world, should be forward- rather than backward-looking in cases like this. Sussexonian ( talk) 20:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
The sentence about the "Surrender Museum" had the phrase "stands on the spot". This phrase means (in American English) that the original building (if any) on that site is no longer standing; that the current building was not there at the time of the event being commemorated. But the current building is very much the same building that was there in 1945 and in which the surrender took place. In fact the walls of the surrender room still have the war maps that were there at the signing.
So I changed the phrase to correctly state the facts.

citation: "The Palace of Tau, St Jacques Church and the Abbey of St Remi also were protected by whom? and restored." Well, the whole town was restored and reconstructed. Reims was a famous model for reconstruction. -- Eddi Bühler ( talk) 08:49, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Under History, the article states Louis IV gave the city and countship to Bishop Artaldus in 940. However Artaldus' article states he was alive in the 13th century. This is a mistake, but I do not have the information to correct it. 105.184.245.37 ( talk) 15:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
