[edit] Meaning of poste restante

AFAIK, "poste restante" in French means "mail which remains [at the post office]", not "postmaster's address"... 81.82.99.152 17:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Using my limited French, I agree. But it appears to be fixed. Schmloof (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other countries

This article deals with pretty much only the UK and USA. Perhaps expansion to other regions is necessary. Schmloof (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Canada seems to follow suit with the United States in terms of usage of "general delivery" vs "poste retante"[1], however I'm feeling too lazy to add that just now. Elithrion (talk) 22:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
