@Fayenatic london: Regarding this revert, I don't want to be pedantic, but it's only certain that Odo of Metz lived during Charlemagne's reign as king of Francia (end of 8th century), not certain whether he still lived during Charlemagne's reign as emperor (beginning of 9th century). I have also changed Category:Medieval French architects to Category:Medieval architects, since Metz (if that is were Odo came from, supposedly) did not become French any earlier than in the 16th century, until then Metz belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, and both France and HRE did not exist yet in the 8th century anyway.

@Marcocapelle: we have sources for his work on the Germigny church in 806–811; doesn't that suffice? – Fayenatic London 07:12, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Fayenatic london: Okay I won't insist, although I can't find any online confirmation about it (while all online sources mention Theodulf of Orleans as the sponsor). However I would expect that the second source (about the Soviet Union) is a mistake. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:40, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I copied the citation from the Germigny article, where it is placed at the end of the sentence that includes the dates, but perhaps it only confirms Odo's Armenian origin. Let's ask the editor who inserted it, see [1]. (That whole sentence was originally added with just the Ching citation, see [2].) @Nocturnal781: do you still have access to The complete guide to the Soviet Union, or might you remember what relevant facts were stated in it? – Fayenatic London 20:05, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
