== References ==

The references in this article don't seem to be working properly - can somebody fix them?

Not any good at this editing stuff, but under foreign relations you have the US as having the most war related deaths of any foreign country. Just thought you might want to consider the fact that the UK total is higher, just out of WWI and WWII alone. Then when you start consiering all the ars those two had prior to the World Wars the number there is no way the US would have more deaths.

== Politics ==

Unless you go into a full discussion of France's politics, which could very well happen in the future, I suppose, the statement about France not supporting the invasion of Iraq seems to be a bit irrelevant. Are we going to list every single country's stance on the Iraq war?

:It is very important to know who is "with us" and who is "against us".</sarcasm> (Seriously: I technically agree, but I'd leave it in so that a politics section can grow around it.) --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 16:33, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

:Seriously if you want an unbiased article then one country's (i.e; Americas) opinion on another really does have no place in it... --[[User:Daerean|Daerean]] 12:24, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

== Spelling ==

I made a bunch of fixes to the non-American spellings in this article. Let's keep those double-L's (rivalled) and silent U's (behaviour) out of Conservapedia as per the Commandments.

== War on Terror ==

Why do we find under Germany :

War on Terror

Germany currently contributes troops to the NATO-led operation in Afghanistan, but did not support the invasion of Iraq.

And why it is not showing the same information under France?
See: http://www.nato.int/ISAF/index.htm

Also, the last comment about the French kings after Clovis is showing that the writer of this article has no knowledge of French history.

March 2003-I didn't realize that they found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. What is your source for this statement?

== Astérix and Obélix ==

Those are not heroes of the french history, but purely fictional characters. So is their story. There was no little chiefdom remaining independent from Rome. [[User:SillyGirl|SillyGirl]] 11:03, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
:I entirelly removed the reference. Unless one want to consider, say, "Independence Day" (the movie), as facts (just for comparison). [[User:SingleUse|SingleUse]] 05:27, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

May I ask who pasted the map of France on top of the article?[[User:Oldoligarch|Oldoligarch]] 22:04, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

== Right? ==

Why was "Centre-Right" changed to "Right Wing" to describe the current French government? What makes us believe they are one or the other? [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 14:02, 27 July 2007 (EDT)

:You gave no indication why this was the case, but reverted away from "conservative". If you wish to do that, show your rationale in talk. The other concerns are written below. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 23:09, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

== Recent revert==

The article describing the 2 million people who have left France used the word "fled". It also said that 93% of them are glad they're no longer living in France. Unless you have knowledge of 2 million French foreign exchange students, then I believe using the langauge "have left France" is acceptable. Please choose to present your views in Talk.

== Gaullist v center-right as a description for Sarkozy ==

I had initially called Sarkozy [[Gaullist]] and indeed created the (still-stub) article on [[Gaullism]], but later changed it to center-right. I see it's been changed back to Gaullist. I believe center-right is better for several reasons. First, Gaullism is linked with anti-Americanism, and Sarkozy is the most pro-American president in recent French history. Next, it fails to capture his commitment to pro-market policies. [[User:Tradcon|Traditional Conservative]] 22:50, 9 September 2007 (EDT)

:I am not well versed on the views of both men in regard to pro-market policies, but certainly the difference in attitude towards the United States is notable. I agree with the change that you propose. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 01:14, 10 September 2007 (EDT)

::I think that's an apt characterization Tradcon makes. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 12:53, 10 September 2007 (EDT)

== This article is about to be reorganized, collaboration welcome ==

This is a good article with a lot of information. However, it is not organized particularly well. I'm going to take a look at it, and anybody who would like to assist or provide suggestions would be much appreciated. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 12:06, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
:Already acomplished. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 13:37, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

== Currency in France ==

A serious up-to-date Encyclopedia would list "Euro" as the currency in France since 2002. The "Franc" is totally out of date.
:A serious user in this website would have made the simple move to correct it, instead of complain about it and doing nothing. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 11:36, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
