- Dang it, my bad. I have a review of a nom I did of yours on a tab that I copy and paste to other reviews to make things easier and it happens to have your username pinged on it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:20, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: and Dumelow Promoting now to keep get image spot. My concern is that "two members of the French parliament were killed" appears in the lead but not the body. Needs to be explicit in the body with a citation - presently not cited. Bruxton (talk) 04:06, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Bruxton, the article has: "On the night of 25 March the building was occupied by around 30 Australian troops, civilians of the comfort fund and two deputies of the French parliament.[4] The latter were Albert Tailliandier [fr] and Raoul Briquet [fr]. Tailliandier was the local member of parliament for the town and was visiting for the first time since its liberation.[6] ... Tailliandier and Briquet killed were among those killed.[9]". I could repeat that Tailliandier and Briquet were members of parliament (or deputies) in that last sentence if you like, but I thought it was fairly clear who they were - Dumelow (talk) 08:15, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Dumelow Thank you, I am sure that was my own mistake. Bruxton (talk) 12:43, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
