List of Presidents of the National Convention

 * Nominator(s): auntieruth (talk)

Nominating this for Alist. As you can see I tried to take it to "Good" class but was shut down because it's a list, despite it having significant text. These are the wagers of war during the French Revolutionary Wars (1790s) and it's an important list to have. I've stubbed out all the bios, so there is at least something on each man. Hope it meets with approval. As always, glad to add more, if I can find it. auntieruth (talk) 19:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Comments. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. - Dank (push to talk)
 * I don't know a lot about lists, but WP:LEAD suggests the lead should be a summary of what's on the page.
 * " By a vote of the National Convention to execute Maximilien Robespierre, Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, and several other leading members of the revolutionary government. ": No verb.
 * Support on prose per standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 20:11, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Dank, I expanded the lead a bit. I also fixed that sentence.  auntieruth (talk) 13:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Images Oppose just because of the number of images to fix - will be happy to strike once that is done. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:25, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * File:Panthéon_autel_Convention_nationale_1.JPG: since France does not have freedom of panorama, we need a licensing tag for the work pictured as well as for the photo itself. Same with File:Armand_Gensonné_IMG_2447.JPG
 * File:AN_française_1792.png: should include a data source in the image description
 * All images tagged with the life+70 years tag also need a tag reflecting the copyright status of the original work in the US
 * File:Jérôme_Pétion_de_Villeneuve.jpg needs a source, as do File:Pierre_Vergniaud.jpg, File:Marc-Guillaume_Alexis_Vadier_(1736-1828),_French_revolutionary_(small).jpg, File:Tallien.gif
 * File:Billaud.jpg: who is the author?
 * File:Sadi_Carnot.jpg: per this, this is not an NIH work

Comments: G'day Ruth, just a couple of suggestions from me: AustralianRupert (talk) 06:20, 16 May 2015 (UTC) withdraw this please Rupert, Nikkimaria pointed out that I don' have consistent image tags, and I don't have time to fix this. Will you, or someone who is authorized, withdraw this from A-class list? Thanks. auntieruth (talk) 19:26, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The source list should probably be sorted alphabetically by the author’s surname
 * Slightly inconsistent presentation: “2nd edition” v. “5th ed.”
 * Is this a webpage: “Smitha, Frank E. Macrohistory: Fear, Overreaction and War (1792–93). 2009–2015 version. Accessed 21 April 2015”? If so, can you please provide the url?
 * Inconsistent presentation (percent or %: “7.5 percent or as much as 11.9%”
 * sans-culottes probably should be linked earlier
 * The duplicate link checker tool reports several examples of possible overlink: First French Republic, Montagnards, National Convention, Committee of Public Safey, Jacobin Club, Louis XVI
