[edit] Needs improvement

This article seems to be missing a "second half". There is no indication of why the Convention was replaced by the Directory. Yet in that article, it notes The Convention had acquired so much unpopularity that, if its members had retired into private life, they would have courted danger and risked the undoing of their work.. It seems this needs to be greatly expanded. Maury 12:56, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, in general our material on the course of events in France from roughly October 1792 until the rise of Napoleon is pretty weak. About 18 months back, I did a lot of work on the Revolution down to September 1792; no one has really picked up that baton. There is a lot of good material scattered in individual biographical articles, but not in a main narrative. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:38, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Early in this article, the phrase "the formal end of the French monarchy" appears. This is not accurate, as there were kings and emporers to follow. See Napoleon I (1804-1814), Charles X (1824 - 1830), Louis Phillipe (1830-1848), Napolean III (1852-1870) and so on. —This unsigned comment was added by 205.160.53.142 (talk • contribs) 29 March 2006.

Yes, monarchy was later restored, as was nobility, but, just as we (and nearly all historians) refer to the "abolition of noble titles", we refer to the "end of the monarchy". - Jmabel | Talk 02:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
