Why translate the name

I cannot see any reason why the name of this French political party is translated. The party's website does not have an English version and there does not seem to be sources which use a translated name instead of the original name. Matou91 (talk) 17:51, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

euthanasia vs abortion

Hey User:Candido, you do know what "euthanasia" means? That's what the nazis did. I am pretty sure this is not meant. The article writer wanted to talk about abortion. Please get your translations right. C-Kobold (talk) 05:01, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello User:C-Kobold. According to Wikipedia itself, euthanasia is "the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering", while abortion is the intentional ending of a pregnancy. Those are very different concepts.

While the Nazis did practice what they called "euthanasia", it was more of an euphemism for genocide against handicapped people; there was no intention of relieving pain or suffering. Just like Hitler's practice of vegetarianism, it has no place in the modern debate over these movements. Candido (talk) 05:17, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello User:Candido, because there is a "citation needed" note at this position; I think it is better if we delete the relevant sentence completely, which I did. C-Kobold (talk) 14:56, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion for improvement and update

In the ideology part, the situation of the conflict for the construction of the West coast airport is not up to date. Indeed, the current French Prime minister has announced that the project has been abandoned due to the fact that no accord was found to settle the conflict of interest.

A link to the page of the French political party PS should be added in the first paragraph of the Ideology section.

Subparts in the ideology section should be added, such as one explaining its cooperation with other European green parties and its implication in the European Union. This would give some insight into the international relations of the party (a subpart that is present in the French article of the party) Also, a part explaining the opposition of the party against the current french president E. Macron could be of interest.

In the history part, some information about the 2017 french presidential election should be added.

Moreover, I would like to elaborate on the introductory sentence of the article and be more specific about the different information provided.

Some small information regarding the position of the party on the Coronavirus situation would be interesting because not like all other parties, they promote a complete unity and cooperation of the European Union and community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Halton0310fields (talk • contribs) 14:56, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Great Job for the improvement ideas. Everything is pretty straightforward. As notified in the article, the ideology part should be transformed and more extensively added. Do you already have ideas of names fro the subsections within this party? I would suggest that you also use their historical affiliation (understand political preferences) in France and in the EU (relations with other political parties), to as you said: "give some insight into the international relation". Also, I think that one subsection about their ideology link with the PS could be of interest, which can be directly linked to the one you want to do on "the opposition of the party against the current french president E. Macron could be of interest". What kind of changes do you want to in the introduction section? Perhaps the name of their current incumbent and their political vote share could be straightforward and of good information as an intro. (?) SPMChapel (talk) 08:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC)spmchapel

In general, the ideas you put forward for improving this article are good. Your ideas concerning expanding the sections on the most recent election as well as international relations seem relevant and interesting. I would warn you against adding too much to the introduction. While the one sentence that currently exists is not enough, make sure to not make it too long as this could dilute the information. It might also be relevant to add a bit more context to the merger between the two parties by explaining how they were similar/different prior to the merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polscidam20 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Overall, I think your ideas are realizable and relevant (such as the Covid part), which makes for an interesting page. From your talk page, I am getting the impression that you will mostly focus on the "ideology" section and attempt to update it. While I think that is valid, I would suggest also going out of your way to creating an entirely new section. This way, the difference between the versions will be seen immediately. I am not sure if you are planning to do all that you mentioned in your planning but if you are, I think you are on the right track. Good luck! Gabz11 (talk) 12:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review (CP)

Halton031fields, your plans for the expansion of this article are thorough. I agree that subheadings could be of use and that the improvement of the introductory sentence is necessary. I do see that one of the main things you would like to change refer to the ideology section and this is good as you are focused on one section and can improve this with quality rather than quantity. Also - well done in considering coronavirus as a current issue to add to this article!
