"This was the actual beginning of the Revolution."[edit]
who wrote that? By what definition was that the beginning of the Revolution? If we define the start of the Revolution as "That day that Desmoulins shouted at some crowds in a cafe" then certainly. If we define it by "That day that the Tennis Court Oath was sworn" then that's not really a valid statement. If we define it as "When the Estates-General was called" then that's also not valid. If we define it as "When the Bastille was stormed" then that's also not valid. This is about as non-neutral point of view as possible and smacks of someone who is either peddling their own beliefs (ie -- original research) or someone who doesn't fully know what they're talking about (ie -- original research and utterly unsupported, that that). I'd rather appreciate a change, though I won't simply wipe that sentence and the next because it would only be reverted within a few minutes anyway.88.67.241.134 21:47, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see that "advocate of the parlement of Paris" was changed to "lawyer of the parlement of Paris". I believe that, in this case, "advocate" is the correct word: one who pleads cases, a more specific term in English than "lawyer". - Jmabel | Talk 03:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
