Talk:Fils de France

message: the title fils de france is actually sons of France. I'll make the correction in the article. 71.148.26.252 22:44, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: fils is French for both "son" and "sons". Thus "fils de France" is both plural and singular. French for "Children of France" is "enfants de France", and the singular is "enfant de France". Correction has been made. FactStraight (talk) 05:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation Discrepency 

message: The article does not treat only the title "Son of France": it should be renamed "Styles and titles of the French Royal Family" with redirects from "Son of France", "Grandson of France", etc.
The whole thing needs to be extensively rewritten and reorganised, making a more clear distinction between styles and titles (Son of France is a title, not a style). The more important is to make a clear distinction in the plan of the article between official titles and styles on one side and ways other peoples had to refer to members of the RF in the court context ("Monsieur" and so on: of course Monsieur would never have referred to himself as "Monsieur").

thread_title:  Capitalization of styles 

message: The article now reads: 
Although the children of monarchs are often referred to in English as prince or princess, those terms were used as general descriptions for royalty in France but not as titular prefixes or direct forms of address (with the exception of Monsieur le Prince for the senior prince du sang) prior to the July Monarchy (1830-1848). Collectively, the legitimate children of the kings and dauphins were known as enfants de France ("Children of France"), while examples in reputable works of "Son of France" and "Daughter of France" being converted into other languages as Prince or Princess of France abound (whereas the same works, as cited, do not translate the Spanish equivalent, Infante/Infanta de España).[5][6][7] [8]. 
To clarify, the point being made is that infante (de España) has become an independent word in most Western European languages and is not normally translated from Spanish into English, French or German, whereas for reasons that remain a mystery (at least to me) fils de France, although it has exactly the same literal and dynastic meaning, has not, therefore when referred to in other languages it tends to be dropped, left untranslated (and therefore undecipherable to the average reader) or is "translated" as "Prince of France". The four cites given in the article as examples illustrate this, all showing on the same page "fils de France" translated as "Prince/Prinz" (of France/von Frankreich) while also showing infante untranslated.

Talk:Charenton (asylum)

message: Hello! I read through your article, and there’s definitely some really interesting information. The lead section is especially informative and gives the reader a good overview of the topic. However, I feel that the body of the article should mirror the structure of the lead section more, just in much greater detail. For example, the lead briefly explains the asylum’s establishment, but there should be a history section that elaborates on the founding of the asylum (especially why). Also, you mentioned that mental asylums at the time had deplorable conditions. This would be stronger if you explained how exactly they abused their patients and what the reform movement looked like. 
And just a few more questions I had: Was the psycho-drama therapy successful? Why was the asylum closed? I really like the small sections in the article with some interesting tidbits, but they should definitely be dwarfed in length by a history section. Finally, it would be great if you could add in a few pictures as well. Thanks for reading, hope this was helpful! BaiCaiXue (talk) 03:32, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Ganelon

message: Hello. . .
I edited this page on 21 August 2011. I noticed today, 26 Dec. 2011, that someone edited my work on 8 December 2011.
I must point out that the changes to my edit of 21 August are incorrect. Here is what I wrote on 21 August:
Here is the account of Ganelon's crucial role in Charlemagne's willfull ignorance, which brings about the death of Duke Benes of Aygremount; this is my Modern English rendering of the text as it appears in "The Right Pleasant and Goodly Historie of the Foure Sonnes of Aymon." Englisht from the French by William Caxton, Chapter 1, pp.51-53; Published for The Early English Text Society by N. Trubner & Co., 1885.
The text is online at:

Here is what appears in the 8 December edit:
Here is the account of Ganelon's crucial role in Charlemagne's willfull ignorance, which brings about the death of Duke Benes of Aygremount; this is my Modern English rendering of the text as it appears in "The Right Pleasant and Goodly Historie of the Foure Sonnes of Aymon." Englisht from the French by William Caxton, Chapter 1, pp.51-53; Published for The Early English Text Society by N. Trubner & Co., 1885.
The text is online at:
http://www.archive.org/details/rightplesauntno4400caxtuoft
The consequences of this incorrect editing are:
*1. The fact that the text quoted in the article is my own Modern English rendering of Caxton's Middle English text has been made into the claim that the quoted text is Caxton's! Here is the text that replaces my words:
*Following is an account of Ganelon's crucial role in Charlemagne's willful ignorance, which brings about the death of Duke Benes of Aygremount, derived from the prose version chanson de geste and prose romance "Les Quatre Filz Aymon"/"Renaud de Montauban" and translated to English by William Caxton as The Right Pleasant and Goodly Historie of the Foure Sonnes of Aymon
*2. "Renaud de Montauban" is in fact a Modern English abridged version of Caxton's work, by Robert Steele, published in 1897. I must point out that this is an elegant version, which I cannot hope to equal in quality; but it is abridged. My version is a rendering of Caxton's complete text, and is being prepared for use in a paper which argues that Caxtons' book is much more than an "Anti-Charlemagne Romance;" it is an examination of the conflict of feudal responsibilities for the benefit of a feudal lord, with responsibilities of kinship, including marriage, which the story presents as being spiritually and morally superior to feudal responsibilities:and so here we have an exciting and moving literary account of a new valuation of relationships.
*3. This 8 December edit makes the egregious error of claiming, in footnote 3, that the Early English Text Society edition of Caxton's work is in Modern English!

Talk:MIPTV Media Market

message: I would like the support of a more senior Wikipedian in order to start the project. I am unconnected to the Tradeshow, however updates I ahve spent considerable time on in the past have been deleted immediately without thought or discussion, and I dont wish to spend a significant amount of time and energy on this and other Cannes Event related pages only to have it unilaterally deleted. 
As such, this page has sat reltively un-updated, and relatively useless for over 3 years now. 
I am happy to do the legwork on this one (MIPTV) and well as others ... MIPCOM, MIDEM, MAPIC, MIPIM Cannes Lions, Cannes Film Festival but I dont want to waste my time! 
They are commercial events, so the ability to write them without a commercial slant is impossible, however I woudl of course do my best to keep it neutral and cite outside sources.

Talk:Les Dégonflés

message: I challenge the verifiability of this sentence in the article (regarding civil lawsuits against activists who deflate tires in protest against SUVs): Success in these civil law cases is deemed unlikely.
"Deemed" means to come to a conclusion. Who has deemed their success to be unlikely? Unless there's a source, this rather unusual assertion should be removed.  Even if one dislikes SUVs, and even if one believes that SUVs harm people, it seems reasonable that a person would be likely to prevail in a civil action against a tire-deflater on trespass grounds.

Talk:Corsica Nazione

message: Personally, the language in this article seems to be highly POV, as in:
:The Corsicans have been struggling for a national identity since the Treaty of Versailles (1768) when they were annexed to France and subsequently repressed culturally, economically, and socially.
Also, this statement seems to show bias:
:This is a lofty goal for a people known for their violent uprisings and suppressions, but Corsica Nazione is committed to it.  However, France has imposed unwanted trade unions upon Corsica, making it difficult for Corsica Nazione to further their goal to negotiate with France and secure peace.
Others may disagree with me, but the article seems to be written very strongly from the viewpoint of a Corsican nationalist, and perhaps a member of Corsica Nazione, and seems to be pushing the party, in addition to declaring the French government to be oppressive without supplying evidence.  While the Corsican nationalist viewpoint naturally must be respected, this article should just be used to attack France.

thread_title:  TfD 

message: Following discussion at WT:SCH I am re-assessing this article for WikiProject Schools. I am giving it an assessment of Start / Mid. I am upgrading the rating to Start as the article is now well established with two reasonably detailed sections. Needs an info-box, further references and more details for B class.
I am giving it Mid importance for its history and been a school of the Lumiere brothers. I think this school might really deserve High importance but the current state of the article only establishes enough importance for Mid - more details on history and alumni would be good. Camaron1 | Chris 19:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On reflection I think you're right that the mid rather than high importance is more appropriate on the basis of the content of the present article. Let's hope that someone can expand the article. There are in fact very few French schools with articles on Wikipedia. See :Category:Schools in France. There are only four private schools in the whole of France which have articles. There are around eight other schools in the list, plus about 14 lycees. Note that La Martiniere College has its own category. Dahliarose 22:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tricoteuse

message: I understand that at the time of the French Revolution, the tricoteuses would have been doing tricot, which is a form of crochet using a single Tunisian (or Afghan) hook.  It creates a flat piece of fabric. I also understand that certain popular historical paintings of tricoteuses, created in the 19th century, erroneously showed them doing the three-needle knitting of tubular stockings which was a common 19th century form of knitting. This error was exacerbated by the mistaken assumption that the "tri" part of the name "tricoteuse" related to three needles. I would like to add this information to the article, but have no citation for it as yet.--Storye book (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says, without citing any authority,
:The term is most often used in its historical sense as a nickname for the women who sat beside the guillotine during public executions in Paris in the French Revolution, supposedly continuing to knit in between executions.
I've never seen a tricoteuse depicted next to the guillotine: as far as I know they're most often shown in the courtrooms where people were condemned to the guillotine, and sometimes shown crying, "Guillotine!" and cackling wildly.  The pictures accompanying the article certainly don't show a tricoteuse sitting beside a guillotine.
