[edit] women,bread,palace,promise

why is this called "The March on Versailles" and not "March of Women" or "Women's March on Versailles"? the word "Women" should be a part in this title. Jessicanr 20:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

But it wasnt all women Norwood6891 19:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

This episode is commonly referred to and recognized as the "October Days" or in French "Les journées de 5 et 6 octobre." The "October Days" is the most appropriate English title. I have never seen it referred to as the "Bread March of Women." Norwood6891 is correct; it wasn't all women. On October 6, the National Assembly did not accompany the king to Paris immediately. They only sent a group of deputies as a gesture and promised that they too would move since the night before they had declared themselves to be "inseparable" from the king. The Assembly wasn't able to relocate until mid-October. Out of curiosity, which historian (or historians') account is this article based on? 4 the Love of History 20:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

This article is full of random, clearly not NPOV nonsense. Someone please clean it up! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.219.199.15 (talk) 02:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random!

"Louis XVI, however, had made a fatal mistake and was to never see Versailles again." This sentence is out of place and hints at something the article does not describe. Also, why is this tagged part of the food project? Random! Superjoe30 (talk) 23:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, um, it's 'cause of the whole "bread" thing. You know how Marie Antoinette is famous for saying "Let them eat cake!"? Well, she didn't actually say that, but they blamed her for the lack of actual food/bread because she was known to be selfish and, basically, a shopoholic. 68.54.76.191 (talk) 01:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
