[edit] Controvery section

Poorly did, does not sound encyclopaedic whatsoever. Historically its inaccurate, the idea that British and American intelligence proxy-assissinated Moulin is absurd. Furthermore Charles de Gaulle was not pro-American, he is one of the defining figures of European anti-Americanism! This needs to be sorted. --JDnCoke 11:14, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hero?

Edcolins, you changed "hero of the..." to "member of the..." why? did you feel it wasn't NPOV? If that's the case, i will have to disagree with you; Jean Moulin was, in many ways, more than "just" a member of the resistance.. Anyway thanks everyone for your edits, even though it is kind of embarrassing to see all the orthographic mistakes I made ^^;;; FiP 00:55, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes, even though I truly respect Jean Moulin and what he did, I thought the term hero was far too biased. But that was just my humble opinion. Stating what he did might be far better and sufficient to understand and judge his acts. A parallel could be: if someone was really a nasty man, do not state "he was a nasty man", but just state his deeds. It seems to me more encyclopedic. --Edcolins 16:59, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)
He certainly was a hero, in the sense taht he is accepted as one of the most notable and proeminent members of the Resistance. Indeed, he is the personification (perhaps along with d'Estienne d'Orves) of the interior resistance. Rama 08:37, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rescue?

I took as history the account in a docu-style film probably from the 1990s depicting him as being rescued, between his prison & an interrogation, via an attack on the vehicle & soldiers moving him there. (And of course later dying after recapture.) Bunk? (Hmm, the rescue united him with his lover, who went on the raid.... Hmmm, maybe i'm gullible.) --Jerzy(t) 17:37, 2004 Sep 10 (UTC)

[edit] Rescue???

Jerzy: Wow. I've actually never heard that story before! Interesting thought, though.


[edit] Prefet ?

I'm not that familiar with wikipedia's guidelines on the subject, so i'll just ask: In the section "Resistance", Jean Moulin is discribed as the préfet of Eure-et-loir, but a few lines bellow, we find a link for prefects. Which is more correct : préfet and préfets or Prefect and Prefects ?
FiP 08:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Prefet is french for prefect which is a rank in government in some nations.{unsigned|86.197.117.164}}
That did not answer my question. FiP Как вы думаете? 01:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crypto Communist

A few days after I had rewritten this article, someone had added the "crypto communist" part. I guess i didn't want to feel stupid by asking "what the heck is a crypto-communist ? öO" :D
Anyway Ruy Lopez just removed it, i guess that's that.

[edit] Horrific death

"because of his great courage and his horrific death." His death is not described in any terms in this article that would support it being "horrific." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.207.242.4 (talk • contribs)


[edit] Le Rire

"Yandman" Removed the following from the external links sections:

 *[http://www.lerire.com LeRire.com] - Features OCR'd ''Le Rire'' issues

This link may or may not belong here, I'm not sure, but I propose adding "Le Rire" to the "See Also" section.

[edit] Communist?

The 1970's called. They'd like their baseless accusation back.
