21st Century[edit]

I do not have anything to do with the Principality except watch the Grand Prix.

One thing came to mind during the 2023 GP is "Where do these people get their power?". Open the page here, searched for Energy; IAEA... useless. Searched for Power; Prince Albert... really? Searched for Electricity; SFA. I mean we are in the 21st century and one of the thing that is quite important in our societies... Energy... not a peep.

Punched Google... Wait a Minute! It sends me back to WP, to a page named "Energy in Monaco". But! There are no link to it.

Puny war or something?

Thank you. Netweezurd (talk) 20:33, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bias[edit]

This article reads like an ad from the monégasque tourism ministry. Adding the colaboration of the Grimmaldi familly during the war or the limited freedom of speech in the country might help with that. Ophelia (talk) 09:58, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know enough about the claims you present, but I don't particularly see this article as being tourism brochure-y at all. Criticism about the country is present in the lede and in the article, I don't see how this is something that can be POV-tagged like this. If you think something is missing, do add it with reliable sources, but I will be removing the POV-tag as of now. Uness232 (talk) 10:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contraction[edit]

Monaco is a sovereign city-state and microstate on the French Riviera a few kilometres west of the Italian region of Liguria,

but then

The principality is about 15 km (9.3 mi) from the border with Italy.

15 km is not a few kms.

Ascari's "lucky escape"[edit]

The article mentions how Alberto Ascari was lucky to escape from his harbour plunge on 22nd May, 1955, but fails to mention that 4 days later, he'd be dead anyway from a completely unrelated accident in Monza. 194.207.183.182 (talk) 01:11, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
