Merci, beaucoup mieux. -- JohnOwens 00:41 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)
Well, this was my first edited page. I just added the dates, after doing the translation (the first article was in spanish, not in french) and I wondered if I should trim the dates to just show the year. Or is it right this way? (In that case it probably needs a little more investigation to add the day and the month to those dates that lack them.) -- Fuligen 01:39 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)
Add Catherine Millet? Or not sufficiently notable? Martin 17:21, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I believe in might be better to have List of francophone authors in parallel with List of French authors, List of Belgian authors, List of Quebec authors etc. The Francophones of France, Belgium, and Quebec etc. don't use these same themes, don't use the same idioms, expressions, metaphors etc. Also, not all authors of Belgium would be francophone, which makes the distinction even more necessary. What do you all think? Mathieugp 16:34, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Given that the index Categories Category:French writers and Category:French novelists exist, it seems to me that this page might be more useful if the authors were placed chronologically, with perhaps a brief indication of the genre they worked in. -- NYArtsnWords 16:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Given the current length of this page, I suggest having two pages: "French authors by date," and "French authors by genre".
On the other hand, the category "French authors" is sub-categorized by genre rather than date, so perhaps we should let this page be and sort out authors in the category.
Is there some way to shorten the page length to be kind to those with slow internet connections? I have cable and this page took nearly a minute. Topquark170GeV 04:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
