I've noticed that the term dates were originally listed correctly and then changed. I've returned them to the original dates. They can be verified on the French Wikipedia, as well as the article on Thiers' successor, Marechel Mac-Mahon, or by using any good French history or constitutional law book covering the period.

This page STINKS of personal bias. "Thiers was by far the most gifted and interesting of the group of literary statesmen which formed a unique feature in the French political history of the 19th century. There are only two who are at all comparable to him, Guizot and Lamartine; and as a statesman he stands far above both. Nor is this eminence merely due to his great opportunity in 1870; for Guizot might under Louis Philippe have almost made himself a French Robert Walpole, at least a French Palmerston, and Lamartine's opportunities after 1848 were, for a man of political genius, unlimited."

This is a joke, right? I know Wiki is a user contributed source, but C'MAAAAAAN, personal opinion should never be left out there like it's fact. THIS is why Wiki isn't accepted by professors, too unprofessional.

Is anyone dedicated to this this page?

A little chore needs to be done with the name "Thiers"... all articles that link to this one, or mention his name, need to be checked to see if all references to Thiers that are not within wikilinks or html links have been marked {{lang|fra|Thiers}}. See for exampleBaron Haussmann— I didn't put the {{lang}} over the first mention of his name because it's wikilinked, but the second mention got it.. if there had been other mentions, those should have too...

Term Dates

I've noticed that the term dates were originally listed correctly and then changed. I've returned them to the original dates. They can be verified on the French Wikipedia, as well as the article on Thiers' successor, Marechel Mac-Mahon, or by using any good French history or constitutional law book covering the period.
