Finding info about the French school of Baghdad

I'm trying to find info about any French, American, British, or German international schools that were in Baghdad prior to the Gulf War.

Some sources which may talk about French international schools:

• Journal officiel de la République française. Édition des lois et décrets. 1985. p. 1105. (Other views showing the nature of the charts of schools)
• Enquêtes annexes du recensement de 1931: Français et institutions françaises à l'étranger en 1930. France. Statistique générale

Impr. nationale, 1935. p. 46. Do you know any from these types of journals which discuss the French school of Baghdad? WhisperToMe (talk) 17:18, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Jean Prestet

The article on 17th century mathematician Jean Prestet could be greatly expanded by this scholarly article in French. If anyone wants to take that on, I would appreciate it, as I am not a speaker myself. Karl Dickman ^talk 22:53, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

title capitalization

I'd like to rename École normale supérieure to Écoles normales supérieures and rename Ecole Normale Supérieure to École normale supérieure. These changes reflect the usage in the respective articles. Any cons? Thanks. fgnievinski (talk) 16:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Discussion of merging recently created content fork

France in the American Revolutionary War has been the subject of two recent move requests (Requested move 29 January 2015, Requested move 20 August 2015), both of which have failed. Perhaps frustrated by the failure to move, but undeterred from purpose, new User:AdjectivesAreBad chose to build the created redirect into its own article. France in the ARW is a legitimate topic, has existed since 2005, and deserves improvement. Newly created Anglo-French War (1778–83) is a clear content fork, and should be deleted and redirected (or perhaps merged) to the France in the American Revolutionary War pagespace. I encourage interested editors to visit the merge discussion here. BusterD (talk) 21:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Translating Garage Rock article to French

Would anyone be interested in translating the updated English Garage rock into French for French Wikipedia. I have just done a huge expansion there. I will be adding more things in the coming months, so the expansion is not yet quite complete. But, we can start the translation now. Do we have any music enthusiasts fluent in French who would like to do the translation for the French artcle? Garagepunk66 (talk) 03:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Native speaker and enthusiast here. What parts specifically would you like to be transferred onto the French version? Akseli9 (talk) 04:30, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

All or as many as possible. I will have new additions coming in later this year, but it might be easier to begin the translation now. Thanks for your interest! Garagepunk66 (talk) 15:25, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to eventually add more about bands from France and places such as Quebec, etc. Do you have any 60s garage rock bands form France that you'd like to recommend? And, I'm sure that they would also look extra-great appearing in the French language garage rock article! Garagepunk66 (talk) 23:09, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Help with an article?

I'm looking for some help with an article about Sur les femmes. It's up for AfD and I've found sourcing to show that it's notable, but I need help from people that can look for French language sourcing since there's an obvious language barrier here. I've put two in the AfD that look usable, but more is always helpful and I want to try to give a varied amount of sources since the article initially relied heavily on the same two sources. Anyone want to help? I'm slightly swamped with schoolwork and I have a project coming up, so I can't really devote a lot of time to this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:04, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Family Puryear/ Purrier/ Perrier/ Perers

My Greatgrandmother, Mary Ada Puryear's, family came from the area near Evreux, France; probably around Perriers-la-Campagne, to England around 1066 to 1086. They occupied the area of Saxeby in Leicester, England. The estate in 1086 was held in part by Hugh Musard, and another part appears to have passed soon after into possession of the Norman family of De Perers, who, in the person of Henry de Perers, were seated at Dalby and elsewhere in Leicester in 1086 (Domesd.) I am interested in finding more about the history of Evreux and the surrounding area before and just after the Norman invasion of England. Michael D.

Fouquet's and Maxim's

Hi dudes, I just created the Fouquet's article (here) and may be somebody here will be interested on expanding it... I'm working on other subjects and other wikipedias, so I'll leave the Fouquet's subject for now. I also launched a request procedure, to move Maxim's Paris (non-official name) to Maxim's (official name of the restaurant and primary topic). You can vote, of course, following your own views and opinions... Bye ! Kintaro (talk) 13:51, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

EDIT : Oh, by the way, the discussion for the vote is here. Regards. Kintaro (talk) 13:55, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Saint Contest

HISTORY The man named Contest who was later canonised as Saint Contest [or Contextus] was initially reputed to have been a hermit at Blay, who became a bishop of Bayeux between 480 and 513 AD, His name was given to the parish after the 7th century AD. The name Contextus was possibly a corruption of Conductus [one who is guided]. The extraordinarily spacious feudal church of St Contest, north west of Caen, was built in phases between the 11th and 14th centuries AD. In 1207, Gautier d'Aignaux, the lord of Saint-Contest, granted the church to the nearby Abbey of Notre Dame d’Ardenne. The gift included the fiefs of of Buron, Maslon, Bitôt and Saint-Contest. The D'Aignaux line continued as lords of the fief of Saint-Contest until the 15th century when they were succeeded as lords by the Nollent family between the 15th and 17th centuries and thereafter by the Barberie family from the 17th century up until the French Revolution in 1789. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcoldham (talk • contribs) 15:31, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
