Vincent-Marie Viénot de Vaublanc
This a wonderful article. Moreover this article is already a featured article in french Aymeric78 15:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The article has paragraphs with only one sentence in it. The prose quality is hindered by the excessive use of proseline. Many footnotes are missing as well. This will take much time to fix. As for prose problems, it was easy to find one, but the more I looked it was harder to find more problems:
 * On 8 August 1792, ill at ease and shocked by the course of events, Vaublanc delivered a speech before the Assembly, in which he defended, vigorously, and courageously, against the lively opposition of the Jacobins who dominated the Assembly and of the man in the street, General La Fayette, who stood accused of violating the Constitution
 * On the good side:
 * The section A counterrevolutionary activist under the Directory (1795-1799) has excellent prose.
 * The article does not meet the Good Article criteria, but please do strive for higher standards.Kmarinas86 05:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose due to insufficient number of citations, some prose issues, and random in the middle of sections.  Karanacs 15:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
