Is there a more direct link than to the official Gazette of Andorra. Is there a page specifically, about the Order, I think it's mere existence would be notable, but I haven't been able to verify it yet. Bigger digger (talk) 18:39, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from User talk:Bigger digger

The Order of Charlemagne exists, but Andorra is a small country and this order has just been awarded once with acceptation (Architect Frank Gehry (not Norman Foster!) refused it because of problems with the Andorran Governement and his final design of the National History Museum ). It was created in 2007, and as a young order in a small country where military forces doesn't exist, is difficult to be awarded with it.

I can access to pictures when the only awarded, José Luis Sampedro, a Spanish writer, was awarded with it. If you send me your email, I will send them to you. But I ask you please to don't deleate my article. I want everybody to know more about my contry, is really small and not very known in the world. Medals and decorations are my passion, and I have the oportunity here to show the world that Andorra has just ONE, but is enough for a small country, oficial Order.

Yours sincerely,

Hi! At the moment it is impossible to verify that this Order exists. Have you got links to a Spanish/Andorran newspaper article about it being awarded? Bigger digger (talk) 18:45, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's no good sending me pictures, everyone should be able to verify it. If you took the photos you could upload them. Where did they come from? Bigger digger (talk) 18:49, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!! No, I don't have free access to the 2008 periodicals... But I have three pictures of the day when they awarded the medal to José Luis Sampedro... They belong to the Diari d'Andorra Archive and I acceded to them thanks to a contact I have... But I can use them for what I want!

I have the link that demonstrates that Ghery designed the medals of the order of Charlemagne:

In this other one, on the third paragraph, they say that he received a "high distinction", that is, of course, the Order of Charlemagne.

The link i published in the page in Wikipedia ( http://www.bopa.ad/bopa.nsf/home?OpenFrameSet ) is the one of the BOPA, that is the virtual place where you can find all the Andorran laws. If you go to the column in the left and you go to "Recerca General" (in the bottom), a new page will be opened. If you write in one of the blank spaces "Orde de Carlemany", the law that made the order will appear with its confirmation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexeinikolayevichromanov (talk • contribs) 12:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have published a picture of José Luis Sampedro the day he was awarded with the Medal of the Order of Charlemagne! I have another one with a bigger insignia... Just ask it if you want it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexeinikolayevichromanov (talk • contribs) 13:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
