[edit] 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

[edit] 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

[edit] 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)

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

[edit] coat of arms

does anyone have a proper coat of arms pic? Brandonrush 19:04, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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)
