I've had a go at doing a complete editing job on this article (and yes, it was a big job!), and have rewritten some poorly-phrased sections, repositioned some of the film references as suggested and generally improved grammar, structure etc. Faubourgienne 16:53, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe that any German ever thought that F.G. was German. Her heavy French accent made her too obvious a foreigner. Still, she was extremely popular with us in the late 60es and early 70es.

uh she sang in Italian and Spanish too. I have one song, called "Zozoi", that she sings italian and also "Los Años Locos" is spanish. I could upload them or something if you want me to to prove it but i don't know if that is legal. Is it?

No, it's not legal, nor necessary. If you wish to include a mention that she recorded in Italian and Spanish, go ahead. -Spikedcandy 16:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

This article contains grammatical errors, unverified facts and non-NPOV statements. It's at times confusingly structured - e.g. the 'Cinematic False-Starts' section (which also needs a rename, like many of these subheadings) lists movies she was nearly in, and then a music video made by Godard. Later it mentions she was in a TV movie. I'd be inclined to mention this with the info under about the potential film appearances, and the Godard video elsewhere - e.g. under a Trivia heading or similar.

I've fixed up a few minor errors, but it's a big job. For now, I'm going to mark it with cleanup tags until I can get to it. Meanwhile, if anyone can restructure or at least correct the English in this, please go ahead. -Spikedcandy 16:06, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External link has intrusive pop-ups

The non-official website www.francegall.com listed under External Links has good content, but when opened in Explorer it has multiple intrusive pop-ups for other websites, some of which appear to have adult content. It even has pop-ups that appear when you try to close the window. I'm going to e-mail the owner of the website and ask them to clean up their site within 14 days; otherwise I'm going to delete the link. Please let me know if you agree or disagree.Curt Franklin 14:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I e-mailed the owner of the website about this and didn't get the courtesy of a response. I waited almost 30 days and have now removed the link.Curt Franklin 09:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FranceGall4.jpg

Image:FranceGall4.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
