message: The number of muslim deaths during independance war is nosense.
The french army lost 23 000 deaths. It was war. You write more than 1 millions for muslims !!! How can it be !!! There was no concentration camp if I remember well. But civils in the french army (soldat du contingent). No way to lay a lot to journalists in fact.
And you should precise the number of deaths because of conflict between muslims. It is more than 100 000.
If it wasn't about war and deaths, I would have laugh a lot.
Sorry but completely dismaying !

thread_title: This article is not credible 

message: The structure of this article is very confusing. We should reorganize it into a straightforward Wikipedia article, with each historical period given a short summary and a main article. Now, there's some sort of parallell order of summaries (historical setting plus chapters of the series. I will do this if and when I have time, but anyone who feels like it would be welcome to begin.

message: This version of the lead is what was used in the article for years and is a WP:SUMMARY that reflects information that can be easily found in reliable sources and in the article itself. This version is full of obvious POV nonsense, including WP:PUFFERY like "considered to be one of the first cradles of humanity" and unsourced WP:OR, like claiming the Regency of Algiers became a separate state after 1710, the "Republic of Algiers" with "total independence" from the Ottoman Empire, which has no basis in reliable sources and is an obvious attempt to reintroduce the unsourced OR that was recently deleted at this AfD. These nonsensical revert+deletion edits (, ) don't help either. 
If you want to improve the lead, please make an effort to keep to Wikipedia's content policies. If you have new content to add, please do so in the body of the article, not in the lead section: again, the lead is supposed to be a summary of the article, not a place to introduce new ideas (see MOS:LEAD).

thread_title:  Inserting POV and bad writing in lead 

message: The reference talks about another subject entirely. It is about French reaction to Algerian uprisings following WW2, not French crimes committed during the colonisation of Algeria. The page referenced also makes no mention of any of the things it's apparently being cited for. For accurate information on the atrocities committed by the French during the colonisation of Algeria, try the chapter on Camus in Said's Culture and Imperialism (1993) or chapter 2 in McDougall's A History of Algeria (2017). Don't really know how to do the editing myself but if anyone does and sees this it'd be great. 5.151.132.98 (talk) 18:04, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
