[edit] Refactoring

The bulk of this article has been moved back to French Directory; the parts that were not relevant to that article are retained here. See Talk:French Directory for discussion of the refactoring. -- Jmabel | Talk 20:43, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "s.a."

Does anyone know the meaning of "s.a.", much repeated in the article? - Jmabel | Talk 20:54, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Aha! [1] It's just "see above". Which confirms my conjecture as to where this information came from. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Ah non! There was no reason for conjecture, and yet you managed to "guess" it wrong: since I was the only one to have the common sense to mention a source, it was blatantly obvious that it had to be World Statesman. But yes, the information is identical to Rulers, because those two sites wisely coordinate their efforts and clearly state so.

And if you absolutely want to keep the French directoire on a separate page (a pitty, unless it ever gets to long to combine) while refusing to have it under the French word, then it's about time you find out about the use of the term on lower levels of the French republican state of that period and devote at least a section to that French use of the term.

    • Feel free. But as you can see in the discussion (now moved, with the article, back to French Directory, I raised the question of the proposed move back, allowed quite a bit of time for comment, and received no objections; you certainly had a chance to pipe up. Whereas, as far as I can tell, you made your earlier move unilaterally, without prior discussion. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
