@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)Reply
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)Reply
