It would be very useful to have citations to French statutes and regulations explaining the process of naturalization and the obligations of citizenship. --Mareino 20:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, help me out Mareino! I only just created this page. I think u can find them on the French wiki.--Cassius80 21:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm French but I'm reluctant to write in my childissh and bastardized English. So I only bring the information. Here is a selection of French public Websites containing information in English (some links are invalid)
- The French Constitution
- http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/english/8ab.asp
- The quotation needed, taken from the link above:
- Article 1
- France shall be an indivisible, secular, democratic and social Republic. It shall ensure the equality of all citizens before the law, without distinction of origin, race or religion. It shall respect all beliefs. It shall be organised on a decentralised basis.
- One American's experience with his dual citizenship

Fair enough. :) I can't read French, so I doubt I'll have much luck, but I do promise to check the EU website for an English translation sometime this week. --Mareino 00:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why French don't break statistics by ethnicity?
Under French law passed after the Vichy regime, it is forbidden to categorize people according to their ethnic origins
This sentence is untrue. France doesn't break statistics by ethnicity since the start of the Third Republic. It is not connected to Vichy. Theorically, nothing bans France to do it, it is just not a custom, so that no differences are made between the different constitutives of the French people, to follow the French idea of identity as it is defined today.
Cause france isn´t a superficially oriented, physic appearence obsessed country like .,..
Hmmm. Unless anyone brings evidence to the contrary please edi this bit then:-)--Cassius80 22:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
It´s true that the US clasifies individual´s ethnicity with limited, generalized, and even wrong parameters,etc.; and describes them and use them on a daily basis (some) with wrong words
[edit] Merge
If this page is to be kept (even though some have said it was a POV-fork), shouldn't it be renamed to French nationality law for Wikipedia coherence (as in British nationality law, etc.) ? Lapaz 17:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC) In fact they should be merged.
In my opinion, we should wait for this page to develop. It may become something interesting.. and eventually merge it with the French people page...--Cassius80 00:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
