This administrative region is known for its support of Free and open source software. They plan on giving out 800,000 usb keys containing such software (eg. Libre Office). reference I do not know where to put that into this article though. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 00:03, 18 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Hi, I'm French and I can say that I've never seen this flag (before to go to wikepedia English).

- The logo 100px is used everywhere.

- So put the flag twice in this article does not show the reality!

The section on etymology says that "Although the modern name "Île-de-France" ... the name "Île-de-France" (its old spelling) is not documented prior to 1387." I see no difference whatsoever in the so-called old and new spellings. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 09:47, 12 March 2013 (UTC) reply

It was a mistake introduced one year ago, I have corrected it. But this section really needs sources. Regards, Freewol ( talk) 15:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC) reply

I'm new so I'm not sure if this is the place to suggest this, but here goes anyway. The Etymology section states that the origin of the name Île-de-France is not known. I wonder if there is a connection to the name of the Champs-Élysées? Champs-Élysées translates as "the Elysian Fields", which in Greek mythology was roughly equivalent to the Christian notion of Heaven. The Elysian Fields ere said to located on the Isles of the Blessed. Later this would be refined down to a single isle. So perhaps Île-de-France is so named because the French, or the French nation, was thought to be "the Blessed" (pretty much every nation thinks they are the chosen ones). And so "Isle of the Blessed" became "Isle of the French/France"? It's reference as an isle fits with the geography of the northern part of Paris, and it would make the subsequent naming of the Champs-Élysées make sense in a wider context. Just a thought. Any takers? Henri.Leveque ( talk) 09:56, 10 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Whoo, even if the theory is good, the problem with Wikipedia is that if your theory is not widely documented already, it cannot appear here as it would be WP:OR. Interesting idea though, I've always been curious about the origin of that name. Cheers. THEPROMENADER 07:24, 17 December 2013 (UTC) reply

It seems very far-fetched, since Champs-Élysées only took its name in the 18th century, 400 years after Ile-de-France is attested...-- Phso2 ( talk) 12:21, 17 December 2013 (UTC) reply

The image in the infobox does not match the actual file. On the page, it looks like this. /info/en/?search=File:Weird_image_%C3%8Ele-de-France_page.png

Here's the actual file: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IDF_flag.svg

Does anyone know how to fix this?
