thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Monday - Spring 2024 HIST 401

message: I have seen that a section called "Statistics" has been added to the article, but there are many problems with it. Firstly, the 2018 column has figures that are not in the source used. It is difficult to know whether the book used as a source for the 2010 column contains the figures it is supposed to contain (without the exact page it is difficult to check), but it is quite unlikely as such figures look inconsistent. Moreover, I do not understand the relevance of this table for the article: is there a context? Is there something in the article that requires it? It looks like user @Tweedle is the one who added it. Could you explain, please ? Eleventh1 (talk) 21:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Machine de Marly

message: There doesn't seem to be any coverage in the article on the Machine's larger engineering context, i.e. what the ultimate impact was of the Machine -- how did it affect civil engineering and hydraulic innovation, etc?  It's fairly clear that the Machine was a provisional attempt at developing pumps and pump stations, which for most of us where quickly refined with the advent of electricity. To wit: while the French were laboring over getting the Machine to work, outside Naples, Italy, the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies built a Royal Palace outside the infested, dense confines of the city -- for many of the same reasons Versailles was built.  But the best the Italians came up with was a contemporary rendition of an arched stone aquaduct... impressive, but it didn't open any engineering doors.  So what was the impact of the Machine? 842U (talk) 10:19, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Gauche caviar

message: I have preposed merging the following articles to the LIBERAL ELITE article. 
*Hollywood Left
*Champagne socialist 
*East Coast liberal 
*Gauche caviar
*Limousine liberal 
*San Francisco values 
*Chardonnay socialist 
*Massachusetts liberal 
*Chattering classes
Firstly, they all say much of the same thing and secondly if they were all brought together it would give a worldwide viewpoint instead into "Liberal elitism" instead of having a US bias. I will copy this message on all the other article talk pages. All discussions should be done on the LIBERAL ELITE talk page so that all discussions are kept together. — Realist2 (Who's Bad?) 05:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: One slight snag with that approach is that the term liberal elite is itself somewhat US-centric: as this article notes, liberal changes meaning as it crosses the pond. The targets of this comment (and others in Europe like champagne socialist) are not necessarily "liberals" in the European sense. There are two quite separate notions in all this, I think. Mcewan (talk) 20:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

text: *Liberal elite would not be the appropriate merger target.  Limousine liberal and Champagne socialist are similar - but Limousine liberal has a longer and separate provenance. I think Liberal elite should stand as a separate article and be cleaned up.  Limousine liberal should stand as a separate article.  Champagne socialist should accept mergers from Gauche caviar, chardonnay socialist, and chattering classes as all being British or European terms that are similar.  We can also include the German, Swedish, Netherlands terms in there.  They all seem to be related to the late 80s which is distinct from the Limousine liberal term which was coined earlier. --Matilda talk 22:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  This article was selected for [[WP:DYK|DYK]]! 

message: Hi! Re: this edit
I have two points of clarification:
: 1. Ottoman society was based on religious and ethnic identity. Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, etc. had their own languages and societies, and this was the basis of the millet system. While the "Levantine" Roman Catholic religious group was much smaller, they did have their own millet too, with their own laws. In regards to Ottoman and post-Ottoman societies (like Lebanon) I feel ethnic identity is highly important.
: 2. The entire city of Istanbul did not have the name Constantinople yet. From :
:* Edhem, Eldem. "Istanbul." In: Ágoston, Gábor and Bruce Alan Masters. Encyclopedia of the Ottoman Empire. Infobase Publishing, 21 May 2010. , 9781438110257. Start and CITED: p. 286.
:* "Originally, the name Istanbul referred only to to the walled city and excluded all suburbs (including Galata, Üsküdar, Eyüp)."
: In Ottoman times, in Turkish the name "Istanbul" was in use for the walled city, while in Western languages that was rendered as "Stamboul". The Ottomans used Konstantiniyye or other names for the whole city, and in Western languages "Constantinople" was used.
: I notice the Ottoman Turkish version of the Ottoman Constitution of 1876 does use Istanbul while the French/Greek/English/etc versions use Constantinople. But Edhem states that "Istanbul" only applied to the entire city after the Turkish nationalist government was established in 1923, and in 1930 the government asked foreign embassies and companies to stop using "Constantinople". On TRwiki I would start using Istanbul after 1923, and on FRwiki/ENwiki/etc after 1930.
: I am aware a lot of modern works do intentionally use "Istanbul" instead of Constantinople when discussing the Ottoman city. Edhem states on the same page that currently Turkish academia discourages the use of Constantinople in an Ottoman context (Edhem points out this is so even though "Constantinople" in that context is historically accurate). I assume this contributes to the usage of Istanbul in such modern works.

message: Each (or many of) the decisions/ordinances published in the website of the French Constitutional Council recall the article 23-11 of the institutive framework of the Ordinance  n° 58-1067 of 7 November 1958. The acts are concluded by a specific provision for which "the present decision will be published in the Journal officiel de la République française and notified under the provisions of" the cited norm.
Therefore, the WP article has been categorized with Category:Judiciary of France, but it would be better to create a specific Category:Constitutional Council (France).

Talk:National identity card (France)

message: So was the card originally issued by the Germans or the French? It just says "following defeat in the Battle of France". Presumably that means following the surrender of the nation, but it's not at clear. If it was after surrender, I presume that it was the German authorities who issued the card to track the inhabitants. This is not clear either. Was there one central database and one type of card for all France, or did Vichy and Occupied France have parallel systems? Not clear either. If the French never had such a thing as ID cards until the Nazis made them use one, I think that it a thing worth knowing. And if the French government somehow managed to start an ID system in a time like this, that would be worth saying as well, for the sake of clarity. AnnaGoFast (talk) 21:41, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:List of indirect presidential elections in France

message: I just added 1873, based on the article French presidential election, 1873. However, what struck me when seeing the result is that 1875 has exactly the same results listed as 1873. I don't know much about French politics, but I did see that
* French presidential election, 1873 has a source (although a poor one),
* this article is unsourced, and
* Patrice de Mac-Mahon, Duke of Magenta states that Mac-Mahon was chef d'état from 1873 to '75, then president, so this might be the source of confusion.
I'm not going to edit further as, again, I'm not familiar with the subject matter. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 18:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:French Union

message: This article seems lacking given the material differences between the French Union and the iterations of the French colonial empire that came before it. There were a lot of structural changes–voting rights, organization of colonies, political representation, etc.–that greatly restructured the relationship between France itself and the rest of the empire, many of which arguably contributed to later decolonization movements. This could also probably be merged into the main page on the French Colonial Empire.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clankst (talk • contribs) 19:13, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

message: : French Union (1946–1958) →  - I think we don't need to put years on the title of article, because there are no other French Union during French history. Also, in other sources such as Encyclopedia and the constitution of France, or the book such as The French Army and Its African Soldiers or The Wars of French Decolonization, they usually call this political entity as French Union. 
User TrueAuraCoral moved this article's original title, "French Union" to "French Union (1946–1958)", but I couldn't find any proper reason for move. I think French Union is the common notation, and the title "French Union" itself isn't disambiguation, so I think we should move this article to original one.

The People’s Assembly shall then proclaim the vacancy of the office of President . The President of the Republic shall be chosen within a maximum period of sixty days form the date of the vacancy of the Presidential office.
