Talk:Anti-French sentiment

Anti-French sentiment in the United States

There's a proposal to blow up the article Anti-French sentiment in the United States, and start over. Your feedback would be welcome at this discussion. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 01:02, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

In this threat to start an edit war, MarioSuperstar77 seems to feel that he can simply add a trivial instance of anti-French sentiment with one source and have it qualify for a article with an incredibly broad scope. I maintain that this is trivia and 100% WP:UNDUE. Since he's already threatening to start edit-warring over it, I thought I would attempt to head that off with a discussion here. Cheers.

Agreed. Just because something is verifiable by some source, doesn't mean it automatically qualifies for inclusion in an article. If it did, articles would become bloated, unreadable collections of every occurrence of a term ever recorded or discoverable on the internet. The other aspect of this is WP:DUEWEIGHT, which says that we should "fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in published, reliable sources." Given the wide scope of this topic, it's questionable whether such ephemeral items of limited interest represents a "significant viewpoint" that should remain in this article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and the content we publish in the article should be the kind of thing that merits inclusion in an encyclopedia. Mathglot (talk) 07:38, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I said I was gonna undo your revision, I never stated I would start an edit-war with you. You're projecting. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 12:04, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

You're not undoing anything. You are going to discuss here, and understand that you are the only editor with your point of view, and you are going to see other editors tell you that you are wrong, and you are going to listen to them. Benicio2020 (talk) 15:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

1 v 3 is a sample too small to use the word 'only'. I would not have commented here in the first place if you did not exaggerate the one thing I said to you. I assumed you reverted my edit in bad faith since it was sourced and all, so that was why I made a comment as harsh as I did. @Benicio2020:and you are going to see other editors tell you that you are wrong, and you are going to listen to them, is this supposed to be a struggle session? For real, calm down, what's your problem? You're being so antagonizing for no good reason. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 16:40, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@Benicio2020: cool it, just try to be diplomatic... you started this discussion with an attempt to discredit MarioSuperstar77... focus on the content. There's no need to demean him or be rude; he did NOT threaten to start an edit war... stop being uncivil. Put down your weapons bro.

Now onto the real discussion. The section in question is trivial. We've already talked about the "frogs" content (on Benicio's talk page), but about the singular tweet... that totally is WP:UNDUE. One tweet does not constitute France being unfrequently the target of either mockery or vicious criticism. I agree with Mathglot above--just because it's reported by a reputable source does not automatically qualify its inclusion into an encyclopedia article.

Make "1.1.1 Britain" section more accessible to readers

The "1.1.1 Britain" section was a little hard to follow as it was. I made a few edits that are about using more accessible language and providing some extra historical context I believe is necessary for those with no knowledge of English history. Nxavar (talk) 10:24, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Battle of France

Six weeks doesn"t make a months . This statment are false and fuel the francophobia and hide the retreat of Dunkirk who played a massive role in the surrender of France . 2A01:CB00:456:9C00:4C86:BAB:5A72:BAD4 (talk) 10:57, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Why is the table of anti-national sentiment resisted here

In other articles on anti-such and such sentiment I see the table. But on this article it seems some people do not want it. Persian Lad (talk) 22:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Rsk6400. Please explain.--Persian Lad (talk) 20:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I'll gladly do so. If we say "Part of a series about discrimination", our readers will rightly expect that this article (or at least a substantial part of it) is about discrimination. What I see in this article is mostly about wars and about reactions to French colonialism. Saying that's "discrimination" would need reliable sources calling it so. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Rsk6400: okay, I understand your point & I don't disagree on the discrimination part. But doesn't this still come under anti-national sentiment part? Would you be willing to edit the template to make it more universal? How about if French as a people are blamed for this when only some should be held accountable? Isn't that discrimination?

Persian Lad, your indentation is a bit confusing, see WP:INDENT. I‘m not sure I understand what you are saying about the anti-national sentiment part. To avoid WP:OR, we have to follow reliable sources when deciding whether „that“ is discrimination. Rsk6400 (talk) 10:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
