message: I am sure there must be an English Wikipedia article on this somewhere, but I just can't seem to find what it is called. (It is neither the Breton War of Succession nor the Mad War.) --- The War of Brittany was two series of long conflicts separated by 20 years. It includes the War of the Bien public (1465), and a series of battles from 1487 to 1491 including the Battle of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier (1488) and the Siege of Rennes (1491). The war was concluded by the marriage of Anne of Brittany to Charles VIII of France. -- I cannot believe it doesn't already exist. Maybe someone can point it out to me and make a redirect. Thanks.

message: The current state of the page is pretty deplorable. Nobody actually bothered making a proper list of wars involving France, the way similar pages about the US, England, the Netherlands, etc have been formatted? Only Gallic Wars and colonial wars caught such an attention to details? Am I the only one finding this quite suspect? Why are battles listed... There is a page for them already. And why are the Gauls even included? Gaul was not a predecessor state of France because..... well... it was not a state... Several desunited Celtic tribes (there were also Aquitani, Belgae, greek colonies in the south around Marseille, etc) lived on a territory the Greeks refered to as "Gallia". That's it That's it! It is like listing wars Celtic Britons took part in as being "english wars". Brittania was not a state. There is zero continuity as a political entity between Gallic tribes and France because... well yeah... the gallic tribes did not form a state. Even Roman Gaul was province among many others of the Roman Empire, not a state. This page needs some serious editing (Jules Agathias (talk) 09:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format, Gauls????? 

message: Hi , I saw you moved the War in the Cévennes to the Civil wars and revolutions section. I'd like to ask: is it even possible to make a clear distinction between interstate and intrastate wars? A great many of the wars listed here are both. E.g. a war of succession is almost by definition an intrastate war, and very often also an interstate war because the foreign allies of throne claimants often intervene on their behalf. A rebellion against the national government is also frequently aided by foreign powers directly or indirectly (e.g. 13 Vendémiaire). In short, I think trying to separate civil wars and revolutions from interstate wars is futile, as it results in arbitrary distinctions. No other "List of wars involving [country]" article does that either, as far as I know, so it doesn't seem to make sense. I propose we integrate this section into the rest of the list.

message: Hmmm it seems that there are no such categories for wars involving France by period. There are only 4 (arbitrarily periodised) lists of battles involving France by period, with List of battles involving France serving as a disamb:
* List of battles involving France (disamb) WP:UNSOURCED
** List of battles involving France in the Middle Ages (481–1488) WP:UNSOURCED
** List of battles involving France in the Renaissance (1494–1610) WP:UNSOURCED
** List of battles involving France in the Ancien Régime (1610–1783) WP:UNSOURCED
** List of battles involving France in modern history (20 August 1792 – present) Template:Onesource.
The periods are arbitrarily defined and inconsistent. The Renaissance one is really short. The Middle Ages one lumps Francia and the pre-1488 Kingdom together. I think it makes more sense to align them all with the state-based war lists now. I'm gonna carry that out. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Let's see... I think I'll name the pre-987 list the List of battles involving the Franks and Francia to match the categories :Category:Battles involving the Franks and :Category:Battles involving Francia. That makes sense. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:14, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

message: I'm perplexed as to why the occupation of the Ruhr is counted as a war. It's not in List of wars involving Germany, it involved no battles, did not engage Germany's military, the 130 deaths (all civilian) were in response to civil disobedience and passive resistance, and its resolution (Dawes Plan) was purely economic.
If it isn't deleted (my recommendation), the "French Military Victory" should certainly be changed, although to what I'm not sure. It's a tossup historically as to whether either country came out ahead. GHStPaulMN (talk) 14:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
