French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools

Review commentary

Notified David Monniaux, WP Gender Studies, ‎ WP France, ‎ WP Human rights and WP Philosophy

This article is a 2005 promotion, listed at Wikipedia:Featured articles/Cleanup listing as one of our most problematic featured articles. It has had citation needed tags for almost two years, uses mixed citation styles, has unformatted citations and the External links could use a trim. There are also MoS issues that could be addressed if the article is cited. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:28, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations and MOS. Joelito (talk) 02:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

• remove Prose is essay-like throughout the article (e.g. "In order to understand why this law was adopted and what impact its enforcement might have, it is necessary to consider a number of facts about France and its educational system.") Most facts are given without a reference. They may be obvious for a French, but not for the English-speaking audience. The background section is insanely long, to the point that it's WP:OR in relation to the topic of the article. Xasodfuih (talk) 16:19, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
