Actually, I suspect he didn’t really say that, because in ancient France the people spoke an obscure language known as French. I have searched websites with names such as “famous quotation of Voltaire“ but none mentions that primitive country known as Canada. How does Wikipedia treat foreign quotations?

NOW I see this quotation is used a couple of paragraphs earlier. A little rewriting is needed to avoid the duplication. but I’ve had enough frustration for the moment. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 12:42, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change last line in first paragraph from "The outnumbered French particularly depended on the natives." to "The outnumbered French particularly depended on native allies." Or similar, "the natives" is not a preferred form of reference. 2603:7000:6340:F700:C51B:C105:360D:8DF1 (talk) 19:41, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, Maybe if it was fought In more modern times, but when it was fought it was known as the French and Indian war and has been known as that for centuries. If the name was changed Wikipedia would probably be the only one referring to the war as that, as I have never seen any website or person refer to the war as the "French and Native American War". 172.58.124.60 (talk) 13:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The lede needs to be changed; at the moment, it says, "The British Pitt government fell due to disastrous campaigns in 1757, including a failed expedition against Louisbourg and the Siege of Fort William Henry; this last was followed by the Natives torturing and massacring their colonial victims. William Pitt came to power and significantly increased British military resources in the colonies". Reading other articles, it becomes apparent that it was the government of Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle, that fell because of the war, and that this happened in November 1756, not 1757. By the time of Louisbourg and the siege (August-September 1757), neither Newcastle or Pitt was governing; Pitt's government that came after Newcastle's was dissolved in April 1757 because the king did not like Pitt. After a caretaker government was in place for the next seven months, Pitt and Newcastle then formed a new ministry in late 1957. 106.69.95.65 (talk) 23:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
