Revisionist names
What's with the revisionism on some of the names here? From 1973 through 1990, the firm was Dassault-Breguet, not Dassault, and many of the models were named as such. &mdash;Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 05:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dassault.PNG
Image:Dassault.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation of 'Dassault'
How does one pronounce "Dassault" properly in the original French? Is the "-ault" prounounced as "oh", as in Renault? This would make it "dah-so". Or are some other rules in effect here? Shreditor (talk) 21:45, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed. Phonetically, in English, it comes close to "dah-SOH". 93.132.238.220 (talk) 13:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * No, it's a French name and is generally pronounced among English speakers as it is in France. Askari Mark (Talk) 01:22, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

This entire article reads like a company website.
As such, I have flagged it as an advertisement.

A large portion of the article was written entirely by one user, Aerolegende, who's edits since 2012-10-07 have exclusively dealt with Dassault related articles. Aerolegende's edits are of a distinctly non-neutral stance.

It is possible that the article is to long, as significant amounts of information on specific projects and history are included in the company article. I believe that some of this information is appropriate, but would be better placed in a separate “history of Dassault Aviation” article. However, some of the text is nothing but buzzwords.

 * I concur with your basic assesment. I noticed it's poor shapea few weeks ago, but I haven't had a chance to take action yet. In my opinion, it might be easier to revert back to an earlier version of the article, such as this one, and rebuild it from there. I don't see any citations for the newer history material, and even the older version is only about half sourced. - BilCat (talk) 07:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
