R.A.E.C Mons isn´t a famous club!! and the battle of mons wasn´t the first battle fought by the british! Verduna was before, marne too!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermesan (talkcontribs) 00:58, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Battle of Mons took place in August 1914; the First Battle of the Marne was in September 1914, while the Battle of Verdun took place in 1916. The name first battle contributed by User:GJeffery was kept. LVan 14:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't we transwiki some of those pics

[edit]

Wow. That is way too many pictures for an encyclopedia article. I suggest someone get an admin to transwiki most of them to Commons! --Coolcaesar 02:13, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - All of those pictures are accessible in Commons and were therefore deleted from this site LVan 17:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Completeness problem

[edit]

Having proofread this entire translated page, I am shocked to see how much longer the original French page is. I believe that the translator should work at enlarging the English page to match the original. Alexneophile (talk) 01:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The English text reads like an uncorrected machine translation, and at some points is simply not even comprehensible. It really ought to be revised. Notapussycat (talk) 02:56, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– (also rename Category:Mons category tree) Mixed results here. This city is the main result in a Google Books search for mons -author:mons, but Google Scholar shows almost entirely uses of mons (planetary nomenclature). A third topic by this name also appears in Scholar and gets overwhelmingly more pageviews. Overall this points to there being no primary topic.

The Belgian city has 100k residents. Most of the other locations have less than a 1,000 residents. Even adding them all up, it is a small fraction. Walrasiad (talk) 22:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
