Fictional reference
[edit]This mention of a fictional/fantasy future place called "Kamarg" doesn't seem to me to add any important or even real information about the Camargue. What does this contribute to understanding about the real Camargue? In general, the "popular culture" secions in a number of Wikipedia articles I work on seem to detract from the point of the article by just listing individuals' personal associations to things, and a number of editors are moving in the direction of taking out such things. Unless the editor who put this there can somehow write about the cultural and literary influence of the Camargue in a more encyclopedic mannter, this seems more like a sound bite or factoid rather than something adding knowledge or understanding, at least from my limited perspective. Jeremy J. Shapiro 06:54.
In response to your comment Jeremy, I would say that including the fictional reference of "Kamarg" is relevant. The Kamarg is the opening setting for one of Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion series: "Hawkmoon". A quick perusal of the Camargue wiki clearly shows that it is the creative inspiration for Moorcock's Kamarg including the native fauna, locales (Aigues-Mortes), and geography. I doubt that many would contest the literary value of including a reference to Moorcock's works as he is recognized as an outstanding speculative fiction author and had contributed a significant body of work to the field of science and speculative fiction. A reader of Moorcock will see his influence throughout much of modern science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction in film, television, and print. 75.157.166.97 (talk) 22:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Kimball Finigan
More encyclopedic introduction
[edit]Shouldn't the article start out by explaining what the Camargue is (as opposed to where it is), e.g. "The Camargue (blabla) is a wetlands region in Southern France (between bla bla etc.)"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.42.116.93 (talk) 12:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
