Talk:Insurrection of 10 August 1792

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of  , , compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Not bad here, mostly culled from other sources I assume.
:2. Factually accurate?: Seems accurate.  The main suggestion here is that I would convert those inline internet citations into footnotes, so the actual sources can be seen.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Good here.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Good here.
:5. Article stability? Good here.
:6. Images?: Absoblutely none.  See if some can be dredged up.  Maybe some old artifacts or paintings already in the public domain.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

replies: text: Among the images we should really have are any of several more or less contemporary paintings of the insurrection in general, plus Johan Zoffany's two counter-revolutionary propaganda paintings from 1794, Plundering the King's Cellar at Paris, August 10, 1792, and Celebrating over the Bodies of the Swiss Soldiers. Does anyone have these in a book from which we can scan them? - Jmabel | Talk 05:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why exactly are we using a source from 1824, and treating it as more reliable than the 1911 Britannica? A Liberal Orleanist, writing under Charles X, had a point of view to peddle and a censor to mollify; why should we follow him?  Even among public domain histories, Jules Michelet, for all his flaws, would be preferable; he did do primary research, and some of the documents he found are now destroyed in 1848 and 1871.

thread_title: Fatherland? 

message: I have inserted this piece regarding the killing of women during the assault: The massacre also included the male courtiers and members of the palace staff. However, no female member of the court seem to have been killed during the massacre. According to Madame Campan, the ladies-in-waiting was gathered in a room in the queen's apartment, and when they were spotted, a man prevented an attack upon them by exclaiming, in the name of Petion: "Spare the women! don't disgrace the nation!" Campan also mentioned two maids outside of this room, neither of whom was killed despite a male member of the staff being murdered beside them, again prevented by the cry: "We don't kill women." This according to Madame Campan, Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Project Gutenberg. I hope this was correct - I have found no other source treating the subject, and it seem relevant to mention, that although men of all classes were killed, no women belonging to the palace staff seem to have lost their lives. --85.226.40.103 (talk) 15:29, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
