Versailles in the Paris task force?

Hi there hello, so I just spontaneously joined the Paris task force and got into tagging "Paris-related" articles, but I wonder whether or not articles that are "Versailles-related" should be tagged and improved as well. I'd be happy if anybody'd give me the answer to that. Update: I'll just tag the "Versailles-related" ones, just tell me if I shouldn't :) - CarolingianCitizen (talk) 10:02, 7 August 2022 (CET)

Merging WW2 RAF / Free French squadrons into native air forces/air arms

Following on from this discussion in January 2023 on the WP:MILHIST talk page. A large number of other countries squadrons have been merged/moved to their native air forces. Looking at the French series, 326, 327, 328, 329, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346 & 347, i've put merge notices on the correct French Air Force squadrons that i've found but my knowledge of the French Air Force is poor and knowledge about their Naval Air Arm is non-existent.

Is anyone able help to connect up the WW2 RAF squadrons with their native air force squadrons? Gavbadger (talk) 00:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Article

Hey, I am currently working on an article and was wondering if I could get some help. I'm trying to get it to at least B-Class. The article is Draft:Honorary consulates of France. If you have any questions, talk to me! Vestrix (talk) 20:44, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

France Flag information template update

In the Other versions section of File:Flag of France.svg, the lighter blue flag should be changed to 1976 instead of 1975. The current Flag of France article also says so. The darker blue flag should also be changed to 1976 instead of 1975. Synchronize to 1830-1976 instead of 1830-1974. Also, the reference source from SHOM used on this page is no longer valid. I hope it can be updated. 2401:E180:8D05:2477:DB91:A92F:442C:8D06 (talk) 09:25, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I only want to modify the start time of use of the lighter blue Flag, which is 1976.

Although this also required the use of the dark blue flag to be changed from 1830-1974 to 1830-1976. 2401:E180:8810:ECEB:E17A:44F7:996A:3E05 (talk) 14:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

House de Nuchèze

Should House de Nuchèze be listed for AfD? It looks like it does not meet notability. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:28, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. Article has been moved backwards and forwards between main space and draft space a couple of times at least, without significant improvements being made. Kiwipete (talk) 02:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone summarize a French review?

Mentioned in the book The Use and Abuse of History: Or How the Past Is Taught. My French is not good enough for that, and the source is not easily machine translatable. Just a 2-3 sentences will do - what did the reviewer think about the book, etc. This is scheduled to be DYKed soon and it would be nice to have that mention expanded. TIA. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:11, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not easy to summarize, this is a long and dense review. The reviewer addresses many points (mostly critically) but does not give an overall appreciation. GrandEscogriffe (talk) 16:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
