It's not that your references are in French, it's that they are seriously inadequate. To give the whole of two dictionaries after the text is unhelpful, you need in-line citations so we can see what fact each reference is supporting, and you need to give page numbers if you are using books as your sources.

Put your references in the the text following the fact each supports using <ref>[url description]</ref> for web refs or <ref>[publication details and pages]</ref> for books etc. Then {{reflist}} at the end will automatically generate a numbered list. I suggest that you look at biographies such as Pamela C. Rasmussen to get an idea of referencing. You don't have to use the fancy reference templates, just what I've suggested here will do.

Since your account was established immediately after I blocked a non-permitted user name, and is the replacement for that account, you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, which you must declare. In particular, if you are work for the association or are paid by it directly or indirectly, you must declare that paid advocacy. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Samrkaplan. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Samrkaplan|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message, although you should note that undeclared paid advocacy will lead to a block. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:31, 10 December 2015 (UTC) Just saw this, Jim. I am not paid for any participation in Wikipedia, this page or any other. Samrkaplan (talk) 00:33, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
