To-do list post-launch

This article was created in large part by cobbling together pieces from numerous other Wikipedia articles, translating pieces from French Wikipedia, and also by adding new material from reliable sources. I'm happy with the main structure of it, as far as the organization into sections and subsections. (See section above, for another approach.)

I think the article needs more work in a couple of areas, namely in smoothing the transitions between sections which may seem choppy because of the way it was sewn together, in order to bring the whole into a better overall narrative, and secondly to adjust the size of the sections which may be unduly small or large relative to each other and to the article size, to bring the coverage more in line with the relative importance of each section.

The other thing, is that there are three empty sections that need expansion:

• #French Revolution
• #Napoleon and First Empire
• #New antisemitism

CDJC

There's good information at CDJC which could be used here; see for example, CDJC#Early publications. Mathglot (talk) 09:54, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Article length?

At 9236 words I would be wary of expanding the article without taking other stuff out. I think in order to improve the article you need to think about the correct weighting of different time periods and try to give the 10,000 foot view without too many details of specific incidents. There is another question that the article doesn't really answer, which is whether antisemitism in France is different from other countries, is it higher or lower than comparable countries or different in some other way? I think this should be addressed in some way. (t · c) buidhe 05:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

@Buidhe:, thanks for the comments. Definitely in favor of refactoring per due weight of individual subtopics; if you have some ideas, go for it (I see you already have, to some extent). As far as comparison with other countries, it could probably use a brief section in summary style, which ought to then have a section link to some (possibly forthcoming) section in Antisemitism in Europe where most of the transnational comparison detail ought to live, in my opinion.

Further reading

The Further reading section at History of the Jews in France is extensive, and has numerous titles just about Antisemitism in France, which could be used to improve the section here, if needed. Mathglot (talk) 21:19, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Empty sections

Hey I noticed there are some empty sections in this article. If they aren’t resolved My the end of October I’m probably gonna remove them. It’s not ideal to have empty sections in general.CycoMa (talk) 16:40, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

These sections were too important to the arc of the narrative to delete, so I added some very basic content to each. Nowhere enough to do those sections justice, but a start at least, to stave off deletion. They all need to be expanded, and I've added expand section templates with good search arguments to all of them, so the {{find sources}} links should be useful in expansion.

Commonscat

The commonscat (currently in § External links) should work with no args, but generates an error if I try it. The current parameters avoid the big, fat, red, error message, but are not the correct category; the default category (i.e., c:Category:Antisemitism in France) is the correct one. I raised this discussion about it at Wikidata, and when it resolves, the commonscat in this article should be adjusted to no parameters. Mathglot (talk) 22:20, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
