Slogan of "Mai 68" translated

[edit]

Sous les pavés, la plage!

-Under the paving stones, the beach! -Beneath the pavement, the beach! -Under the paving stones you'll find sand! -Under the paving stones, the clear path to the beach!

Which is the best non litteral translation? Say in the article, it's the Parisian pavement of the streets, and the pavement stones were put out of the pavement and used as weapons by rioters. And they have been removed since this time, and replaced by concrete pavement to avoid this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.248.85 (talk) 08:37, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 15 October 2019

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved to May 68. Consensus to move the page away from its current title is clear; there is some disagreement as to the best target, but May 68 has the most support, and is stylistically distinct enough to serve as the primary topic of that term. BD2412 T 20:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 1968 events in France → ? – I don't know why the title uses the vaguely noncommittal events when the lead sentence tells us that the article is about a specific period of civil unrest. Civil unrest encompasses such things as "demonstrations, major general strikes, and occupations of universities and factories". As a more descriptive title, I would suggest May 1968 French unrest or French unrest of 1968, though other suggestions are also welcome.

After some discussion, I think a revert to May 1968 in France would give the best balance of concision, naturalness, and descriptiveness. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 07:54, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

[edit]

Just browsing here from another article, is there any reason why the flags of the different sides have a different shade of blue? This hasn't been mentioned in the archive. I don't know if there was any difference between the two, and if there was, it's hardly as distinct as the flags of the two ideological sides in 20th-century Spain, or the two sides in modern Belarus.

POV of "Worker strikes" section

[edit]

At present the article presents the workers as universally opposed to union leadership, which is obviously completely absurd for such a large group. It also contains fairly biased language like "the mainstream unions that were more willing to compromise with the government than enact the will of the base" and "underscoring a disconnect in organizations that claimed to reflect working class interests".

I am also concerned about the use of highly biased primary sources like the Situationist International. Eldomtom2 (talk) 17:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
