old comment on location from 2013[edit]

The pinpoint for Vichy on the view of Auvergne region is in the wrong place on Chrome in Android Jellybean, displaying completely outside of the region - would put this down to a general problem but it works okay on other pages like Aguts. Don't know enough to know how to fix that, but someone might want to check it out. 2.30.219.166 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:49, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Old talk[edit]

As stated, the Vichy state of France was named after its capital.

Though it official title was État Français (French State).

But there is much more information available to the whole matter; and intriguing information at that. See cited works from ibiblio.org (Public Library): http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/policy/1940/400710a.html.

Vichy was also a family name in France that attempted cout de etah

Uh?

You mean coup d'état?

Also See Vichy France

I have translated part of this page from the French and I will do the rest soon. Valkotukka 17:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No location[edit]

There is no point given on the maps to locate Vichy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.71.73.46 (talk) 07:23, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Springs & cures[edit]

The page is a bit of a muddle right now but somewhere on Wikipedia we should eventually list the specific springs, with their histories and supposed uses. A good general source is

Daumas, Casimir (1867), The Mineral Waters of Vichy..., 4th ed., Vichy: A. Wallon.

which includes most of the heyday springs, their etymologies, and supposed cures. It could also be used as a source for the general history of the town. It doesn't explain the odd name "Lardy", though.

Histoire Vichy (in French)

is just a website but full of info (including that Lardy is after Henry Lardy, who owned some of the land of the old Celestine monastery and whose widow managed the spring after it appeared in the mid-19th century). It could be used to fill in blanks or look for more authoritative sources.

Daintith, Terence (2010), Finders Keepers, Washington: RFF Press, pp. 99 ff..

also has some more general history. — LlywelynII 03:44, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNDUE[edit]

Previously, the article included this

The writer [[Valery Larbaud]] uses the term ''Vicaldiens'' after the [[Roman Empire|Ancient Roman]] [[Latin]] name for the community, ''aquae calidae'' (hot waters).<ref>« À Vichy que don Vicente Blasco Ibanez a comparé à Babylone, et (le ciel nous épargne, Vicaldiens, mes frères) à Sodome et Gomorrhe, à Vichy, tout passe et Vichy même. » Allen. 1927, in {{cite book|first=Denis|last=Tillinac|title=Vichy|publisher=Éditions Champ Vallon|year=1986|page=113}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Walters|first1=V.|title=The Cult of Mithras in the Roman of Gaul|date=1957|place=Leiden, Netherlands|publisher=E.J. Brill|isbn=9789004040144|page=287}}</ref>

in the lead section, where it obviously doesn't belong. In fact, one author's malformed nonceword doesn't really belong anywhere in the article at all, pending its common acceptance by a larger audience. On the other hand, if that source could be used for any of the important facts in the #Roman history section, that would be great. — LlywelynII 04:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
