[edit] War on terror

This section having nothing to do with the fifth republic I deleted it. Mthibault 11:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


As many states use numbers to refer to different republic, it is important to state which state's fifth republic it is. While I don't know of another fifth republic, there are a number of first and second republics. It is worth keeping a consistent style throughout all the French republics, so it should be [[{state} {number} Republic]]. FearÉIREANN 17:27 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Presidents Timeline

I tried working on the timeline in the Fifth Republic: Presidents section, but I can't quite get it to work right. The problems with it, as I see it are: its bad links (for Georges Pompidou and Valery Giscard d'Estaing), it's unreadable (light blue on blue?), and Mitterrand's block is red for no apparent reason.

Have you considered that Mitterrand's block may have been in red because he was a Socialist? Just a thought. -- Lincolnite 23:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone changed the timeline to a list, then someone changed it to a table. Good calls. Thanks MiShogun and Mthibault for that. Onepairofpants 03:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alain Poher

Monsieur Poher isn't usually venerated as a true président de la République. If nobody's really against it I'll take his name off the list and put a note down below or something. As it is, he looks just as important as de Gaulle, d'Estaing or Mitterand. Any comments or suggestions ? Take a look at the French version to see how they do it, too. --Aquarelle 23:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Your proposal is good to me, I think Poher's name should be put only in a note, as René Coty's one (he continued to act as a temporary head of state in 1958-1959 before De Gaulle were elected, see French version again). MFG, 23:49, 25 February 2007

[edit] Proposed name change

To Fifth French Republic (I am proposing this change for all French Republic articles.)

Fifth French Republic is a more precise translation of Cinquième République Française. The official name of the country is the French Republic, and it is the fifth one. Funnyhat 07:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Let's keep the discussion unfragmented, since we will either make all these name changes or none of them. Could everyone please respond on Talk:French Fourth Republic? Phaunt 22:35, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
