[edit] Order of sub articles

I started a discussion on the talk page of the main article History of France, suggesting that the order of sections in sub articles should be changed, any comment there welcome. See Talk:History of France. Equendil Talk 20:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advice sought on page size/sub page

To reduce the size of this page, I think that the "Structure of the Ancien Régime" sections should be pulled out to their own page. Any suggestions as to the best article name? --NYArtsnWords 18:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I pulled out the structures section and put them at Ancien Régime in France.--NYArtsnWords 16:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Is it possible to rename the article? Because 'Early modern France isn't what it was rreally called. It was Just Royume Francais. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philip Auguste (talk • contribs) 05:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Promotional references for a person's own works

I have moved the following references, added 9 August 2008 by User:David Lee Rubin, from the article to here, due to what I believe to be issues with Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:LINKSPAM:

• Rubin, David Lee (editor). Continuum - themed annual of early-modern French studies. New York: AMS Press, 1989-93. ISBN (series) 0-404-63750-7.
• Rubin, David Lee (editor, 1993-2001); Anne L. Birberick and Russell J. Ganim (editors 2002-). EMF: Studies in Early Modern France - themed annual. Charlottesville: Rookwood Press (1993-) ISBN 978-1-886365-23-7.

It should be remembered that:

"Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam. Although the specific links may be allowed under some circumstances, repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed."

Similarly, as Wikipedia is not meant to provide a complete academic bibliography on any specific topic:

"A reference directs the reader to a work that the writer(s) referred to while writing the article. The References section of a Wikipedia article isn't just a list of related works; it is specifically the list of works used as sources. Therefore, it can never be correct to add a link or reference to References sections if nobody editing the text of the article has actually referred to it."

If other editors feel that the above links should be included in the article, please address the above issues. Thanks. NYArtsnWords (talk) 00:58, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
