Sugested Merge of Articles to List of heads of state of France

I'd argue for two separate lists: this list should be reduced to Presidents only (not Directors, Consuls etc), with links to the generic List of Heads of State for those periods when there was not a President. See discussion on French Wiki, which decided to remove the Directors (unfortunately, just after I introduced the Directors to English Wiki (Revision 711806799), partly to mirror French Wiki and partly to avoid the totally inaccurate assertion that Paul Barras was President during the Directory.

Acting President vs. Interim President

Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

What about Talleyrand? Wasn't he President for a little while in there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.110.153 (talk) 02:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Alain Poher was officialy Interim President, not Acting President (president par interim).

He is listed as interim president in fr wiki and on elysee.fr, in contrast to actings from III adn IV Republics

That's correct, Acting President means filling in for a incompacitated President, where's Interim President means serving during a Presidential vacancy. I agree with you, 'Interim President' is the correct version. GoodDay 17:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

First Republic?

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am not that well acquainted with French history, but it looks rather odd that this list starts with the 2nd Republic. What happened in the 1st one, were there no presidents? Perhaps this could be explained in the lede? KarlFrei (talk) 11:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

List of Presidents of the French Republic → List of Presidents of France — For consistancy with the main article, President of France, which is how the office is generally referred to in English-speaking countries.

De Gaulle 1940-44

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

De Gaulle was not and did not claim to be a French head of state during this period. I have removed the false assertion that the Free French were a governemnt-in-exile (which they were not and did not claim to be), but really this section ought to be removed altogether. If we do not accept that Petain was the legitimate head of state during this period, then we have to accept the Gaullist view, which was that there was no French head of state, since the constitution of the Third Republic was still in force, but no successor to Lebrun had been elected.
