Overall: Nice work on this article, Buidhe! Note that I am accepting citations to French-language and offline sources in good faith. There are some direct quotations, but I do not believe they are excessive and they certainly contribute substantially to the article. Note also that I changed the first instance of "state" (as a verb) in the opening sentence that included "...which state that the state may..." to "denote"...please feel free to change this, but I'd like to avoid using the verb "state" and the noun "state" in such close proximity. I also removed a stray "and that..." during my copyediting, which you may wish to address. Overall, nice job, and thanks for creating and nominating this article!
