Proposed Move[edit]

This is a fascinating and well-researched article, but it touches on a lot of subjects much wider in scope than Old Mines. I think we should create a new article, something like "French Missouri" or "Paw Paw Region, Missouri" or something better, that is about the cultural history of the isolated French settlements in Missouri. — Muckapedia (talk) 21^e déc. 2014 16h10 (−4h)
