removed this text: This marked the first occasion in many centuries where a major European state moved from monarchical to republican mode, and presaged a new era of republican government(s) in Europe.

and replaced it thus: This presaged a new era of republican government(s) in Europe.

the term "many centuries" is ambiguous first of all. second of all, the Dutch Republic was established in the early 17th century, less than two centuries before 1795, certainly not "many centuries." I don't know if there were any other European republics established between the establishment of the Dutch Republic and establishment of the first French republic, so i just removed the questionable line entirely.

Contents 1 Various 2 hmmm 3 Proposed Renaming 4 Flag of the Kingdom

[edit] Various

The infobox has a title "Various" which is linked to an irrelevant article. The link is made by the template script, not the parameter to it. Is there a way to unlink it? phma 05:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Renaming

I think First French Republic sounds a little more proper than "French First Republic" and anyway, I believe it is a more precise translation of Première République française. In addition, it is a different naming convention than we use for First French Empire. That makes no sense. We should stick to one convention; it doesn't seem very encyclopedic to keep things as they are. Funnyhat 04:44, 4 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 22:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of the Kingdom

The French article about the flag of France (fr:Drapeau de la France) says explicitely that the de facto national flag of the Kingdom of France was a simple white flag - the lily banner was only used in presence of members of the royal family except the King: When he was present, the white flag had been hoised. To cut a long story short: Please do not insert the lily banner (Pavillon royale de France.svg) anymore, it's the wrong flag here.
