Weird Rendering

When I view this page in Firefox, all the little "edit" markers (for edit section) are clumped together. When I view it in IE they are fine. Why?

Looks fine in Firefox 1.5. -Carl

Messed-up gramar

"In 1033, when Conrad II fell heir to the Kingdom of Arelat, Avignon passed to the empire. The German rulers, however, being at a distance, Avignon took advantage of their absence..."

This is so wacky I'm not even sure how to correct it (knowing nothing, as I do, about the history of Avignon). -Carl

Fixed it slightly. At least it makes sense now, and the history is correct. Skip237 (talk) 05:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link repair: Geographic help needed!

There is an ambiguous link to "Valence". Valence can mean many things; it can mean three different communities in France. In this section: "Ecclesiastical history of the (Arch)diocese", under the heading "(Arch)bishopric", near the end of the 2nd paragraph, is the link to "Valence". Please change it to the link to the appropriate place. Someone who is sure they know the correct answer should fix this. Thanks. --Coppertwig 02:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Thanks for the heads-up on this one! Micoucou 09:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thirteenth-century status of Avignon

Is the current version of Avignon's history correct? I believe the history given under Comtat Venaissin is more accurate. --Wetman 04:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geographical Coordinates in Sitenotice

The geographic cordinates in the upper right of the article were obviously put there before the new sitenotices, and it now interferes with/is a part of the sitenotice. I could change this, and I do know how to, but should I? Thanks, Ajraddatz (talk | contribs) 20:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion

As of may 2011, this article is undergoing a major expansion and recast based on the article in the fr.Wiki. User:Kudpung lived and taught in the city from 1988 - 2000. Please don't hesitate to offer any updated information with sources. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Translators notes

I have translated what I believe to be the best of the French language version. I have stopped at this point because the article is now very large and I think further expansion would not be justified. I have included most historical and heritage material but have omitted much of the modern political material (although I included the list of Mayors). I also did not do the large section in the French version of Avignon in Literature. I have deleted the requiring translation flag and also the requires references tag as I think the French material has more references. Nevertheless if it is thought that more could be added or more references are needed then a reviewer may want to reinstate them. Samrong01 (talk) 11:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uh.. Nothing about Avignon after 1303?

I feel as though the section regarding Avignon in the late middle ages is missing some information.

Looking at Shepard's Historical Atlas, Ninth Edition (by William R. Shepard), I can find a map of Europe in 1490(page 104d) that illustrates Avignon as an independent state.
