Economy of Modern France section
This section was marked with a "cleanup" tag -- since March -- and it appears to have been a carbon-copy of, maybe, so I've replaced it.

My replacement is entirely original by me and is meant to be a sketch, merely -- still a "stub" -- so I hope others will chime in on stretching & trimming & footnoting & debating it. Top-of-the-head, this one, so please forgive the breezy generalizations, but I thought an overview was needed, fast, before the copyright police got in here and nixed the entire article for the faults of the predecessor.

If someone can figure out how to combine my two footnotes here with the others I'd be grateful: can't get this done myself, at the moment, but I'll try to whenever I can get back to this.

The way to accomplish the above, I think, is to place the current Notes into the text marked up as follows:

ref (Note) /ref

Notes

references/

so the Notes of all sections will appear -- combined together and numbered in sequence, & automatically re-numbering when others are added or one is deleted -- in a single Notes section at the end of the article. If no one has an objection to or better suggestion for this (?) I'll do it.

The population of France was twice the size of Britain and Holland?
Was it twice the size of them put together, or twice the size of each? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.69.97 (talk) 18:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Over-reliance on the Encyclopedia Brittanica
It is an acceptable source and is considered reliable. Existing citations should not be removed, but more academic citations should be added Elinruby (talk) 04:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Did first-pass copy edit, needs another
May have missed additional problems with overlinking, use of ellipsis and dashes as punctuation, slightly strange word order and use of prepositions. Also extremely long; consider summary style. References could also use improvement. Elinruby (talk) 07:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
