General Alliance against Racism and for Respect for French and Christian Identity

 * ... that the General Alliance against Racism and for Respect for French and Christian Identity sued Le Figaro for defamation against Catholics? Source: "The AGRIF took Halter and the Figaro to court, claiming that these statements defamed Catholics" Source, p 72, middle "The well-known Jewish writer Marek Halter and Le Figaro were convicted on 9 December 1993 for a "public and racist libel"...The writer and the paper" were sued by an organization called AGRIF Source

 * Comment: Interesting because the law was initially considered to protect vulnerable minorities, not the majority. The most interesting fact is that they won the case, but this was a long process and I can't find one source that sums up this briefly and adequately.

 * Thanks for the review and for putting up the talk page which I had ignored. I have rewritten the paragraph that included the hook fact, and the first line in the paragraph now says, I think, pretty much the same as the hook, and has inline citation right after the fact. As for page numbers: I am using the page numbers from the World Politics journal, where this article makes up pages 53 to 85. When I first started reading the article, it was open access and I have downloaded it, and it has these page numbers. I see the article unfortunately no longer has open access, so you had to use Sci-hub and there the article starts at page 1, but that's "unofficial" page numbering I think. Sorry for the inconvenience. I included pages 20-21 as an alternative in the citation in article. As for the hook, I believe saying "powerful, majority group" might constitute "editorializing" and I think it goes without saying that Catholics are the traditional majority in France. Otherwise, I agree that the hook could have been better, so I would certainly be open for suggestions, but the length of the name makes it difficult to say a lot (unless you shorten the name to AGRIF and only pipe the full name).

 * Looks good to me. It is allowed to use paywalled sources, no inconvenience caused. Passing.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 09:30, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
