[edit] To do

Thanks to RCS we have lots of new information on Strasbourg. However what we are missing now is infomation on Luxembourg. Anyone know where we can get it? - J Logan ^t: 19:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spilt

What do you think about splitting this into a Brussels and a Strasbourg page? Might help organisation and keeping things tidy, seems logical as they are two separate sites and we have enough data now, we don't even have much common data between the two sections. I propose;

Seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg -as it is the official seat and the complex has no overarching name and we can talk about past buildings
Espace Léopold -as that is the name of the whole complex (for the Flemings/Dutch, I have never heard the Dutch translation being used in English - ever) and it would be buildings only due to the B&EU article covering history
European Parliament in Luxembourg -as it could be expanded on the general activities of the EP in Luxembourg rather than just the buildings

What do you think?- J Logan ^t: 10:48, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds fine.--RCS (talk) 15:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Good, done. I've tagged on extra data as I split the two.- J Logan ^t: 21:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title of this article

The title of this article is rather unwieldy. It seems redundant to have "in Strasbourg" as part of the title of the article; it would be like having an article entitled "Capital of Germany in Berlin". I would suggest renaming the article to "Buildings of the European Parliament in Strasbourg" or "European Parliament buildings in Strasbourg". Also, the intro paragraph should be recast. --Mathew5000 (talk) 22:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

The second title suggestion sounds better, imo. RCS (talk) 07:43, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I rewrote the introduction. RCS (talk) 09:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Depends if you count Brussels as a "seat" (as a common way of saying working location rather than the technical def). Also, it could allow for expansion of the article to cover the history of the parliament in the city?- J Logan ^t: 10:41, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
