Talk:France in the long nineteenth century

message: I think a word about French ambitions overseas should be mentioned here, can anyone help out?  I dont really know much on the subject or Id work on it myself.
:Have a look at French colonial empires & at Colonialism. Start it, if you don't know much you'll learn stuff, I'll check it up later. Salud! Tazmaniacs 13:59, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I started a discussion on the talk page of the main article History of France, suggesting that the order of sections in sub articles should be changed, any comment there welcome. See Talk:History of France. Equendil Talk 20:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Order of sub articles

message: Feel free to revert any grammar changes I made which changed meaning.  Some of the things I changed seemed to be 'French-isms' ... or French transliterated into English (for example, "incarne" which would seem to mean something like "to be a physical representation of" like incarnate).  It just sounded too odd to leave it.  Feel free to change things to something else, just don't change them back to exactly what they were because they were difficult to understand or outlandish in English. --Matthew 23:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Grammar and vocabulary changes

message: if i'm not mistaken, the first ten years of the 3e Republic (the Moral Order) were certainly not anti-clerical. do we feel comfortable changing that? --ponyboy 16:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Anti-clericalism

message: Such a short section on this did not do justice to the importance of this period - I expanded it. James5555 08:43, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: this page sucks especially after I read why it was called the long nineteenth century. Delete this crap or merge it. I was searching for 19th century france not the end of the 18th century and 50 years into the 20th century give it another title like 'marxist france history' What can't be found on this page that I can not find if I searched 'French History wiki' likely nothing but a different view of how social events influenced this and that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.152.34.59 (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  this page sucks 

message: Is this an appropriate term for an encyclopedia to use?  It seems rather casual in tone. Funnyhat (talk) 23:30, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The "Long nineteenth century" is not a colloquialism but a historical periodization set out by Eric Hobsbawm which expands the 19th century to encompass the period 1789-1914 (125 years). This isn't the only article which uses the term in the title either. I don't see a problem with it? —Brigade Piron (talk) 14:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, though. The term is no formal historical taxon. The Long nineteenth century article's title should be in italics and here it should be mentioned in the lead that this is a designation coined by a single, undoubtedly notable author, which is a recognized category of literary history but not a formally accepted historiographic concept. BTW - What is "periodization"? I found this: "Periodization is the systematic planning of athletic or physical training" ATBWikirictor (talk) 03:34, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
