Talk:Little Jimmy Dickens

Untitled
Jimmy put out a song (recitation) about ten years ago I think was titled "Letter to Santa" where a little boy wrote a letter to Santa to give all of his gifts to a less fortunate boy he knew. I work for Little Jimmy Dickens and he asked me to find the writer of this recitation. I would appreciate any help I can get from this post.

Bryants
Could a Dickens expert please add to the songlist at Felice and Boudleaux Bryant? --Design 09:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this is a poorly written and not too informative entry. What was his impact on country music? Why was he inducted into the Hall of Fame? What was his best-selling album? What about him made the world want to go to his shows? I approached this entry not knowing a lot about the man other than a few songs (which I was not that impressed with). Needless to say, this entry has not changed my opinion.

Relations
I am actually somewhat related to Jimmy Dickens. My grandmother's sister is married to Jimmy's cousin. Skosem 16:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Copyright
Much of the text in this article comes from and should probably be rewritten to avoid copyright problems. Tom Duff 17:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Can anyone tell me how many,if any, children Jimmy has either in marriage or out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pitriverman (talk • contribs) 18:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Birthday
imdb.com lists his birth year as 1925. Matthew Meta 07:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The Country Music Hall of Fame lists it as 1920. In my opinion, the Hall of Fame is more reliable than IMDB. Adam McMaster 08:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I remember Little Jimmy Dickens and Little Brenda Lee appearing on The Orange Blossom Special tv shou out of Augusta, Ga. I don/t remember the year but around 1951 or 1952. Am I the only one that remembers this??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.43.33 (talk) 01:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Children of Jimmy
Can anyone tell me how many,if any,children Jimmy had and if they were all by his wife Mona or if tere might have been a daughter by someone else?Pitriverman (talk) 18:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

WILL TIE RECORD WITH HERMAN CROOK 1925-1988
It is my understanding from the information that I can find, that Herman Crook holds the record for being on the Grand Ole Opry longer than anyone - 63 years (It is possible that Lewis Crook broke the record as he first played in the late 20's on the Opry, and I know he was still playing in december of 1989 when I saw him, and died in 1997. Next year Jimmy will tie this record (1948- ) Unless Lewis broke 63 years but I am not finding it. Of course he already holds the record of being a "member" on the Opry longer than anyone (1950-. I think part of this should be added to his biography in 2011. (PershingBoy)205.204.248.86 (talk) 19:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Related to Charles Dickens
Is there any documentation that supports the claim to the relationship to Charles Dickens? If not the claim should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.32.113 (talk) 07:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. At the very least it should be explained exactly what relationship he purports to have.CulturalSnow (talk) 06:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Ambiguous Antecendent
In this sentence "Later, telling Dickens he needed a hit, Williams wrote "Hey Good Lookin'" in only 20 minutes while on a plane with Dickens, Minnie Pearl, and Pearl's husband, Henry Cannon.[5]"

the reader cannot tell whether "he" (third word) refers to Dickens or Williams.

Most of the sentence above is not supported by the citation [5]. --There's no support for "...telling Dickens he needed a hit..." --The citation does not support "on a plane with Dickens, Minnie Pearl, and Pearl's husband, Henry Cannon." either. It suggests that Williams, Dickens, and Minnie Pearl flew on a plane owned by Pearl's husband Henry Cannon, but does not state that Cannon was aboard.

Here is the cited work: "Dickens remembered flying with Hank and Minnie Pearl in her husband Henry Cannon's plane.

Sainte-Menehould

Sainte-Menehould (Sankt Mathilde) is a commune in the Marne department in north-eastern France. The 18th-century French playwright Charles-Georges Fenouillot de Falbaire de Quingey (1727–1800) died in Sainte-Ménéhould. It was the subprefecture of the arrondissement of Sainte-Menehould until its abolition in April 2017.

History
Dom Pérignon, the Benedictine monk who made important contributions to the production and quality of Champagne wine, and is often (erroneously) credited with its invention, was born in Sainte-Menehould around 1638.

As part of the county of Clermont-en-Argonne, Sainte-Menehould was in the Duchy of Lorraine until 1641, when the county was ceded to France; in 1648, it was granted as an appanage to Louis, le Grand Condé, effectively making it independent of Crown control.

Condé established Sainte-Menehould as his capital and fortified it in 1652, when he was leader of the 1650-1653 civil war known as the Fronde des nobles. The military engineer Vauban worked on the fortifications as a member of Condé's regiment; he changed sides when captured by a Royalist patrol in early 1653. Condé's governor, the Comte de Montal surrendered the town in November 1653, allegedly in return for a payment of 50,000 pistoles.

After his return to France in 1659, Condé retained Clermont, which remained in his family until the abolition of feudalism in France during the French Revolution in 1790. The next year, Louis XVI passed through the town during the Flight to Varennes, where he was recognized, allegedly on account of the similarity between his face and the image on the coinage. The royal party left the town before the significance of the king's recognition had been acted upon, but they were pursued along the road towards Varennes and arrested by Citizen Drouet the local postmaster.

130 years later Ste-Menehould was important in the Champagne Riots of 1910/1911.

Following the end of World War I, Sainte-Menehould saw the birth of French sociologist Michel Crozier.

Cuisine
The town and its several restaurants pride themselves on serving a local specialty called pied de cochon or pig's trotter à la Sainte-Menehould, which are cooked for hours, to the point of softening the bones and making them edible.

Talk:Catálogo alfabético de apellidos

Davide
I have searched repeatedly among the surnames listed under D in the Catálogo (thanks to the fact that, despite the document’s name, the surnames are not really alphabetically arranged), and have yet not been able to find Davide among them. However, according to this page here, the Davide surname in the Philippines can be traced back to no earlier than 1849, thus it should originate in the Catálogo. So anyway, could someone help me finally locate the surname in the document? What are the series of surnames that come before and after it? Would really appreciate it.
 * I don't see Davide either. I traced it to Al-Andalus putting it in there. --Chris S. 04:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I checked it and I see a "David." on page 37, 5th column, 23rd surname. It's not exactly "Davide", but it might be a variant of the surname you're looking for.--Mlgc1998 (talk) 11:22, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Ymbrecht
Neither have I been able to locate Ymbrecht.

Anyone here here who could tell me where I can find a copy of the list of surnames included in the catalogo?

 * Ymbrecht is on page 139. 2nd column. 27th surname. I think. I'm not counting again. Nakakahilo. --Chris S. 04:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Found it, finally! Thanks.

list?
Anyone here here who could tell me where I can find a copy of the list of surnames included in the catalogo?

 * There are tons of surnames. It won't fit on a list. I have a copy of the catalog that a friend photocopied for me. --Chris S. 04:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * They’re selling copies at the Philippine National Archives for a hundred bucks.
 * Don't they sell this one outside Metro Manila? I tried looking for one, but I couldn't
 * Have you tried going to one of the local university campuses? Maybe you could obtain a copy through them. I’m not sure, but I think it’s worth a try.
 * Here's a link to an online copy I saw, Catálogo alfabético de apellidos--Mlgc1998 (talk) 11:28, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Basque and Catalan
I'm quite surprised to see these two origins of surmnames, since I believe they perfectly belong to the spanish section (since they are spanish territories). Concerning the Basque names this is even clearer, as they are all written in their castillian standard orthography, besides, I would swear that peñarredondo is not a specific basque surname. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.172.67.38 (talk) 14:08, 9 January 2013 (UTC) "Peñarredondo" is Spanish language, not Basque, obviously. Legazpi is Basque.--83.37.96.205 (talk) 20:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hubahib
Is there anything known about this surname? The Municipality of Bantayan official website seems to say it's a Hispanic family name which originated in Bohol. Is that true? It doesn't sound Hispanic to me. More like Arabian. Unbuttered parsnip (talk) mytime= Fri 14:22, wikitime=

Re: DLSP
Hi Mithril tdd1, sure I'd love to do what I can for those articles and I'll coordinate for other changes, it's just that I'm still trying to feel my way around Wikipedia.
 * Okay. By the way, i'm also trying to do something for the DLSU-M article. Maybe we can collaborate on certain parts of the article to speed up the development of the article. What do you think? --Mithril tdd1 12:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

About the Alumni, I've just seen that list grow to high heavens, it'd be better to snip it to those who already have entries or to include those who are really notable (easily recognizable?). Also, I've created an entry on the De La Salle Brothers in the Philippines, so maybe we could just link the articles there instead of the general FSC article.

DLS Pictures
Just wanna say nice job on the pictures of De La Salle. SunKing 14:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Status of John Bosco College and Andres Soriano Memorial College
Hi, I just got hold of an official newsletter, which listed the member schools of the DLSP and their appointed administrators, and it doesn't list John Bosco College and Andres Soriano Memorial College. I don't think they're direct members of DLSP but rather schools supervised under the LASSO.

Plus I see "Greenhills" was changed to "Green Hills," I know their website says "Green Hills" but other publications within DLSP use "Greenhills," which I've thought was more correct as LSGH is located in Greenhills (cf. "Greenhills Shopping Center"). I'm gonna clear this out with an old-timer one of these days. --SunKing 12:26, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

 * About JBC and ASMC, it was listed as DLSP members schools on CSB's Fresh perspective so i've added those to the list. Is the newsletter found in DLSU-Manila? I'd like to check it out as well. About Green Hills, maybe it was made that way because if you say La Salle Greenhills, it would be LSG only. -- Mithril Cloud 13:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It was actually from Zobel and the EVP also had a memo with same list on it on his bulletin board. About LSGH, "Greenhills" would probably make the abbreviation LSG, but then LASSO would become LSSO.  Haha.  Anyway, I took a quick look at the style guide and it's "Green Hills."  I don't know about the Brothers' House, though. --SunKing 13:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

 * So that settles the Green Hills issue then; as for the newsletter, maybe DLSU-Manila will follow, i'll try to visit it more often. Too bad, the only thing i'm clueless about the LS building is the Brothers' House. To make the future LS Hall article complete, information about it would be necessary. :( -- Mithril Cloud 14:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

 * There's like a couple of weeks that the House is open to visitors, but I'm not sure if they're open for CSB students too; you should try visiting it. I remember the student-guides, as well as the Brothers, giving out info about the House but I really don't remember anything they said now.  Plus the food's great. --SunKing 15:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've heard about that. They've opened the House last University Week, which was held on January. That will be a long wait. :( -- Mithril Cloud 15:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: La Salle Green Archers or De La Salle Green Archers?
Hi M_C, so is it De La Salle... or La Salle...? --SunKing 13:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, i think it's interchangeable. UAAP's site refers to it both ways. Mithril Cloud  13:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * What's say it be moved De La Salle Green Archers? The defunt DLSU Newsletter used to refer to it as such.  --SunKing 13:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That's fine, since there's only a small difference anyway. You can just put something like: The De La Salle Green Archers (also as La Salle Green Archers) is the varsity team... Mithril Cloud  14:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Done and done. =) --SunKing 14:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Honorary Degree Awardees
Add such a section to the List of people from De La Salle University-Manila? -- The SunKing  02:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Apology
Thanks for working with me in the article about Malate. I admit, I was a bit too defensive since other users were so adamant in removing any and all reference about LGBT activity in Malate and I took offense to that. Anyway, I apologize for my somewhat harsh tone and I should have followed the five pillars of wikipedia(specifically, the code of conduct) just a bit more sincerely. I have much to learn.

Hi M_C, here's a draft of Br. John Hall; feel free to modify. --SunKing 06:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Information about the architect would be needed, same goes for the Sports Center article. Any idea where the Commemorative Markers can be found? On second thought, we have the same info on the Br. John Hall. Seems that the article would be too short to become a standalone article. I think we should include it instead to the general campus article. -- Mithril Cloud  08:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Holy Spirit School of Tagbilaran
Thanks for the edits. Will work on your suggestion/s, or find ways to improve the article. I did not know songs are un-enclyclopedic. Is there any other way to save it, though? Just checking.--Pinay (talk•email) 22:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Got it! Thanks. --Pinay (talk•email) 06:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, in Bohol, when you ride a tricycle, you tell the driver "Holy Spirit, nong". It is understood that it means "take me to Holy Spirit School." Nobody says Holy Spirit School or Holy Spirit School of Tagbilaran. It is just referred to as Holy Spirit... or sometimes "madre".   When somebody asks "where does your child go to school?" in the Bisayan dialect, the answer is either "sa Holy Spirit",  or "sa madre".  Since that is the most commonly or widely accepted name, that will be the local name no?  --Pinay  (talk•email) 09:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Removing content from your own talk page
Please see Removing warnings. This was a proposal on this issue that was rejected per Village Pump. Thus, anybody can do anything they want with their own talk pages. Just a side note that I saw from a talk page. Diez2 16:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you talking about the anonymous user 125.60.243.22? That anon has been problematic (see below) and doesn't seem to have listened to (or read) the warnings, so I've placed them back to the talk page. -- Mithril Clou  d  19:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

user 125.60.243.22
Hi Mithril Cloud, I noticed that a user with the IP address Special:Contributions/125.60.243.22 has been making un-encyclopedic edits on the De La Salle and UPLB pages (and a lot more) that I believe border on vandalism. Is there something we can do to prevent this user from vandalizing again, maybe a ban? I'll be honest, I'm not sure as to the exact Wikipedia procedures for this one -- do we need to submit the request to an admin? Or maybe the basic question is, would you consider what the user is doing as vandalism?

Thanks. -- Corsarius 16:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm glad somebody else also noticed. Yep, I consider that vandalism; that anon has been very problematic for the past months especially on the articles you've mentioned. I've already posted a lot of warning templates on the anon's talkpage, but as usual it won't listen. Seems that this anon has something against DLSU-D and UPLB based from the anon's edit history. If the anon starts vandalizing again, we can request a local admin to do something about the situation. -- Mithril Clou  d  19:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, as well as St. Scholastica's. The weird thing about his/her edits on this last school is that there are actually a few valid edits (adding useful info such as acronyms), but for the most part the vandal removes a lot of other existing info without explanation or basic courtesy to other Wikipedians who have also expended effort for the page. Alright then, I'll be keeping an eye for further unexplained edits. Thanks again, Mithril Cloud. -- Corsarius 08:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism at UPLB and other pages by 125.60.243.22 and 203.87.224.219 are identical Through IP tracking, both are found out to be SmartBro IP addresses:

and the IP's belong to a SmartBro subscriber and St Scholastica College! Hmmmmm, that means we can't just have the IP address blocked easily, because it belongs to a school based on what ive read regarding blocking IP addresses... hmmmm Meynardtengco 19:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I had the hunch before that the anon is probably from St. Scho since the edits on that article isn't that bad. Seems that really is the case.. -- Mithril Clou  d  03:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

 * He/she's back again at the UPLB page. Tsk! -- Corsarius 16:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Now that it happened again, we can request an admin to do some action. I could've posted a notice at the vandal reporting page but I can't access the page due to bad connection. Perhaps we could notify local admins on the matter by posting at the Tambayan. -- Mithril Clou  d  16:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Our friendly vandal is as slippery as catfish, hehe. He/she's now using a different IP address 202.81.172.64, but his/her focus on UPLB and DLSU gives him/her away. -- Corsarius 05:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * It's quite interesting that the vandal responded for the first time on that "Vito Cruz Society" blurb. I had the impression that this vandal doesn't know how to reply. As for preventive action, no one seemed to care at the Tambayan and this might become an neverending battle of reverts. ~_~ -- Mithril Clou  d  10:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

For Consistency
Please rename the PNR Stations as ***** PNR Station. It should be consistent with the eg. Kamuning MRT Station. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhakki18 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Most railway station articles worldwide do not distinguish between station operators unless they are rapid transit systems. Since PNR is a railway, naming station articles has almost always been "xxxx railway station" (example: Jordanhill railway station).  However, unless the station is known by a more popular name (i.e. "EDSA Grand Central Terminal" for the future North Avenue LRT Station, for example), then the standard naming format should stand as is.  In the event that PNR is de-monopolized for any reason, the "xxxx PNR Station" naming format becomes moot and obsolete, so let's save ourselves from the future pain of moving multitudes of articles on this one. --Sky Harbor (talk) 13:29, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Map and station section on mrt 3
Dear Mr/Ms Mithril Cloud,

I decided to include such article in the Manila Metro Rail Transit System because people want to see the stations in the page like articles about Manila Yellow Line and Manila Purple Line. So please don't remove such article because many users think it is necessary.

I just came here to inform you that I'll be working on this article to address some issues (inline citations, updating, some copy-editing and additional information). Several of the articles that you've helped to GA have been demoted, and I would want to save this article from any future review, and probably even raise it to FA standards. Honestly, this is the architecture- and DLSU-related article that I will put effort into (all my previous work were concentrated on UPLB-related articles) so I ask of your help in editing this article.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DLSU-Conservatory.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:DLSU-Conservatory.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

''The building was built in 1998 according to this version of St La Salle Hall. No info has been found outside Wikipedia regarding the subject. Per Philippine copyright law, architect has the copyright of the building until 25 years after its construction. See commons:COM:FOP#Philippines''

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Moray An Par (talk) 11:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Please update copyright status of File:Andrew Gonzalez Hall.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Andrew Gonzalez Hall.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the image is being used under a claim of fair use due to the fact that there is no usable freedom of panorama provision in the country/region in which the photo was taken. However, a recent RfC has suggested that the freedom of panorama provisions of United States copyright law apply to all foreign buildings as long as the photo is being used in the US, on the basis of lex loci protectionis. In other words, a photo taken of a copyrighted building anywhere in the world is free of any copyright restrictions contained in the building. Note that this applies to the English Wikipedia only, and not to Wikimedia Commons.

Therefore, it is possible to create a free replacement for this image, causing it to fail the first non-free content criterion. If you are the photographer of this image, simply change the Non-free architectural work to a free license such as CC-BY-SA 3.0 to release it your photo under a free license. Also, if you have a higher resolution version, it would be appreciated if you could upload it over the current image. The image will be deleted after seven days if no action is taken.

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Velasco Hall.jpg
You uploaded or restored, File:Velasco Hall.jpg, but for various reasons did not add an information block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work, please include own in the relevant source field, amend the information added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers. You can also add  and an  to the media by uploader or presumed_self tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the information where appropriate).

If it's not entirely your own work, then please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or own, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

It's okay to remove or strike this message once the issue has been resolved :).

Replaceable fair use File:CSB1991.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:CSB1991.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Capital punishment in France

[[Image:Death Penalty laws in Europe.svg|thumb|right|400px|Europe holds the greatest concentration of abolitionist states (blue). Map current as of 2022

{{Legend|#3f9bbb|Abolished for all offences}} {{legend|#e8aa30|Abolished in practice}} {{Legend|#cc7662|Retains capital punishment}} ]] Capital punishment in France (peine de mort en France) is banned by Article 66-1 of the Constitution of the French Republic, voted as a constitutional amendment by the Congress of the French Parliament on 19 February 2007 and simply stating "No one can be sentenced to the death penalty" (Nul ne peut être condamné à la peine de mort). The death penalty was already declared illegal on 9 October 1981 when President François Mitterrand signed a law prohibiting the judicial system from using it and commuting the sentences of the seven people on death row to life imprisonment. The last execution took place by guillotine, being the main legal method since the French Revolution; Hamida Djandoubi, a Tunisian citizen convicted of torture and murder on French soil, was put to death in September 1977 in Marseille.

Major French death penalty abolitionists across time have included philosopher Voltaire; poet Victor Hugo; politicians Léon Gambetta, Jean Jaurès and Aristide Briand; and writers Alphonse de Lamartine and Albert Camus.

Ancien Régime
Prior to 1791, under the Ancien Régime, there existed a variety of means of capital punishment in France, depending on the crime and the status of the condemned person:
 * Hanging was the most common punishment.
 * Decapitation by sword, for nobles only.
 * Burning for arson, bestiality, heresy, sodomy, and witchcraft. The convict was occasionally discreetly strangled.
 * Breaking wheel for brigandage and murder. The convict could be strangled before having his limbs broken or after, depending on the atrocity of his crime.
 * Death by boiling for counterfeiting.
 * Dismemberment for high treason, parricide, and regicide.

On 6 July 1750, Jean Diot and Bruno Lenoir were strangled and burned at the stake in Place de Grève for sodomy, the last known execution for sodomy in France. Also in 1750, Jacques Ferron was either hanged or burned at the stake in Vanvres for bestiality, the last known execution for bestiality in France.

Adoption of the guillotine

The first campaign towards the abolition of the death penalty began on 30 May 1791, but on 6 October that year the National Assembly refused to pass a law abolishing the death penalty. However, they did abolish torture, and also declared that there would now be only one method of execution: 'Tout condamné à mort aura la tête tranchée' (All condemned to death will have their heads cut off).

In 1789, physician Joseph-Ignace Guillotin proposed that all executions be carried out by a simple and painless mechanism, which led to the development and eventual adoption of the guillotine. Beheading had previously been reserved only for nobles and carried out manually by handheld axes or blades; commoners would usually be hanged or subjected to more brutal methods. Therefore, the adoption of the guillotine for all criminals regardless of social status not only made executions more efficient and less painful, but it also removed the class divisions in capital punishment altogether. As a result, many felt the device made the death penalty more humane and egalitarian.

The guillotine was first used on Nicolas Jacques Pelletier on 25 April 1792. Guillotine usage then spread to other countries such as Germany (where it had been used since before the revolution), Italy, Sweden (used in a single execution), the Netherlands and French colonies in Africa, Canada, French Guiana and French Indochina. Although other governments employed the device, France has executed more people by guillotine than any other nation.

Penal Code of 1791
On October 6, 1791, the Penal Code of 1791 was enacted, which abolished capital punishment in the Kingdom of France for bestiality, blasphemy, heresy, pederasty, sacrilege, sodomy, and witchcraft.

1939 onwards
Public executions were the norm and continued until 1939. From the mid-19th century, the usual time of day for executions changed from around 3 pm to morning and then to dawn. Executions had been carried out in large central public spaces such as market squares but gradually moved towards the local prison. In the early 20th century, the guillotine was set up just outside the prison gates. The last person to be publicly guillotined was six-time murderer Eugen Weidmann who was executed on 17 June 1939 outside the St-Pierre prison in Versailles. Photographs of the execution appeared in the press, and apparently this spectacle led the government to stop public executions and to hold them instead in prison courtyards, such as La Santé Prison in Paris. Following the law, the first to be guillotined inside a prison was Jean Dehaene, who had murdered his estranged wife and father-in-law, executed on 19 July 1939 at St-Brieuc.

The 1940s and the wartime period saw an increase in the number of executions, including the first executions of women since the 19th century.

Marie-Louise Giraud was executed on 30 July 1943 for being an abortion provider, which was labeled a crime against state security.

In the 1950s to the 1970s, the number of executions steadily decreased, with for example President Georges Pompidou, between 1969 and 1974, giving clemency to all but three people out of the fifteen sentenced to death. President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing oversaw the last executions.

Up to 1981, the French penal code stated that: In addition, crimes such as treason, espionage, insurrection, piracy, aggravated murder, kidnapping with torture, felonies committed with the use of torture, setting a bomb in a street, arson of a dwelling house, and armed robbery made their authors liable to the death penalty; moreover, committing some military offenses such as mutiny or desertion or being accomplice or attempting to commit a capital felony were also capital offenses.
 * Article 12: "Any person sentenced to death shall be decapitated."
 * Article 13: "By exception to article 12, when the death penalty is handed down for crimes against the safety of the State, execution shall take place by firing squad."
 * Article 14: "If the families of the executed persons wish to reclaim the bodies, they shall have them; it shall then be for them to have them buried without any pomp."

Clemency
The right to commute death sentences belonged exclusively to the President of the Republic, whereas it had belonged exclusively to the monarch in earlier ages.

President Charles de Gaulle, who supported capital punishment, commuted 24 death sentences. During his term of office, 35 people were guillotined, 4 others executed by firing squad for crimes against the security of the state, while 3 other were reprieved by amnesty in 1968. The last of those executed by firing squad was OAS member Lt. Colonel Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry, who was an organizer of the infamous assassination attempt on de Gaulle in 1962.

No executions took place during two-term acting President Alain Poher, neither in 1969 following De Gaulle's resignation, nor in 1974 following Pompidou's death.

President Georges Pompidou, who opposed capital punishment, commuted all but three death sentences imposed during his term.

President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who stated that he "felt a deep aversion to the death penalty", also commuted all but three death sentences. He was President at the time of the last execution in France.

Amnesty
Parliament (rather than the executive) held the power to grant amnesty for death sentences. One example of general amnesty for all people sentenced to death and awaiting execution took place in 1959 after de Gaulle's inauguration when an Act of Parliament commuted all such sentences.

Abolition
The first official debate on the death penalty in France took place on 30 May 1791 with the presentation of a bill aimed at abolishing it. The advocate was Louis-Michel Lepeletier of Saint-Fargeau and revolutionary leader Maximilien de Robespierre supported the bill. However, the National Constituent Assembly, on 6 October 1791, refused to abolish the death penalty. Soon after, tens of thousands of people of various social classes would be executed by guillotine during the Reign of Terror.

On 26 October 1795, the National Convention abolished capital punishment, but only to signify the day of general peace. The death penalty was reinstated on 12 February 1810, under Emperor Napoleon I, in the French Imperial Penal Code.

In 1848, the provisional government of the French Second Republic, established by the February Revolution, decreed the abolition of the death penalty for political crimes.

President Armand Fallières, a supporter of abolition, systematically pardoned every convict condemned to death over the first three years of his term (1906-1913). In 1906 the Commission of the Budget of the Chamber of Deputies voted for withdrawing funding for the guillotine, with the aim of stopping the execution procedure. On 3 July 1908 the Garde des Sceaux, Aristide Briand, submitted a draft law to the Deputies, dated November 1906, on the abolition of the death penalty. Despite the support of Jean Jaurès, the bill was rejected on 8 December by 330 votes to 201.

Under the pro-Nazi Vichy Regime, Marshal Pétain refused to pardon five women due to be guillotined; no woman had been guillotined in France in over five decades. Pétain was himself sentenced to death following the overthrow of the Vichy Regime, but General Charles de Gaulle commuted Pétain's sentence to life imprisonment on the grounds of his old age (89 years), as well as his previous military duty during the First World War. Other Vichy officials, including notably Pierre Laval, were not so fortunate and were shot. Under Vincent Auriol's presidency, three more women were beheaded, one in Algeria and two in France. The last Frenchwoman to be beheaded (Germaine Leloy-Godefroy) was executed in Angers in 1949. In 1963, Lt. Colonel Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry became the last person to be executed by a firing squad.

Defended by lawyer Robert Badinter, child murderer Patrick Henry narrowly escaped being condemned to death on 20 January 1977, and numerous newspapers predicted the end of the death penalty. On 10 September 1977, Hamida Djandoubi was guillotined and became both the last person executed in France as well as the last person executed by beheading in the Western world, and by any means in Western Europe. On September 18, 1981, Badinterthe new Minister of Justiceproposed the final abolition of the death penalty in the Assemblée Nationale, the same day as the newly-elected socialist president François Mitterrand backed his efforts, and the Assemblée Nationale finally pushed abolition through that same year. Badinter had been a longtime opponent of capital punishment and the defense attorney of some of the last men to be executed.

Abolition process in 1981

 * 16 March 1981: During the presidential election campaign, François Mitterrand declared that he was against the death penalty. This was taken up in the Socialist Party's 110 Propositions for France electoral program, along with other justice reforms.
 * 19 March: The last sentence of death (against Philippe Maurice) was confirmed by the court of cassation, the last to gain legal force.
 * 10 May: Mitterrand was elected President in the second round against Valery Giscard d'Estaing.
 * 25 May: François Mitterrand pardoned Philippe Maurice, commuting the sentence to life imprisonment. He was released on license in 2000.
 * 26 August: the Council of Ministers approved the bill to abolish the death penalty.
 * 17 September: Robert Badinter presented the bill to the Assemblée Nationale. It passed on 18 September, by 363 votes to 117.
 * 28 September: The cour d'assises of Haut-Rhin issued the very last sentence of death, in absentia, against tailor Jean-Michel Marx for attempted murder. A total of four sentences of death were issued by the lower courts after Philippe's case, but never ratified by the Court of cassation. On the same day, Robert Badinter presented his bill to abolish the death penalty before the Sénat.
 * 30 September: several amendments were rejected in the Sénat. The law was officially passed by the two chambers.
 * 9 October: the law was promulgated and all seven remaining sentences commuted. The last Western European country to practise the death penalty abolished it.

Current status
Today, the death penalty has been abolished in France. Although a few modern-day French politicians (notably the far-right Front national former leader Jean-Marie Le Pen) advocate restoring the death penalty, its re-establishment would not be possible without the unilateral French rejection of several international treaties. (Repudiation of international treaties is not unknown to the French system, as France renounced its obligations under the NATO treaty in 1966, though it rejoined the pact in 2009. )

On 20 December 1985, France ratified Additional Protocol number 6 to the European Convention to Safeguard Human Rights and fundamental liberties. This prevents France from re-establishing the death penalty, except in times of war or by denouncing the Convention.

On 21 June 2001, Jacques Chirac sent a letter to the association "Ensemble" saying he was against the death penalty: "It's a fight we have to lead with determination and conviction, because no justice is infallible and each execution can kill an innocent; because nothing can legitimise the execution of minors or of people suffering from mental deficiencies; because death can never constitute an act of justice." On 3 May 2002, France and 30 other countries signed Protocol number 13 to the European Convention on Human Rights. This forbids the death penalty in all circumstances, even in times of war. It went into effect on 1 July 2003, after having been ratified by 10 states.

Despite these efforts, in 2004, a law proposition (number 1521 ) was placed before the French National Assembly, suggesting re-establishment of the death penalty for terrorist acts. The bill was not adopted. On 3 January 2006, Jacques Chirac announced a revision of the Constitution aimed at writing out the death penalty. (On the previous 13 October, the Constitutional Council had deemed the ratification of the Second Optional Protocol to the international pact necessitated such a revision of the Constitution. The protocol concerned civil and political rights aimed at abolishing the death penalty.)

On 19 February 2007, the Congress of the French Parliament (the National Assembly and the Senate, reunited for the day) voted overwhelmingly for a modification of the Constitution stating that "no one can be sentenced to the death penalty." There were 828 votes for the modification, and 26 against. The amendment entered the Constitution on 23 February.

Variations in French opinion
During the 20th century, French opinion on the death penalty has greatly changed, as many polls have showed large differences from one time to another.

 * In 1908, Le Petit Parisien published a poll in which 77% of people asked were in favour of the death penalty.
 * In 1960, a survey from the IFOP showed that 50% of the French were against, while 39% were for.
 * In 1972, in a survey from the same institute, 27% of those surveyed were for abolition while 63% were for capital punishment.
 * In 1981, Le Figaro carried out a survey the day after the vote for abolition. It indicated that 62% of the French were for maintaining the death penalty.
 * In 1998, IFOP's and France-Soir's survey showed that opinions were split in half, with 54% against the death penalty and 44% for it.
 * In 2006, TNS Sofres survey show opposition of the French people to death penalty generally: 52% are now against death penalty and 41% are pro-death penalty.

Jay Dratler (September 14, 1910 – September 25, 1968) was an American screenwriter and novelist.

Biography
Born in New York City to a mother originally from Austria, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the late 1920s, then studied at the Sorbonne in France and the University of Vienna, achieving fluency in French and German.

After his return to the United States in 1932, he worked as an editor for a New York publisher and translated the books Goya and Zeppelin from German to English. He then moved to Hollywood, becoming a successful novelist and rising to prominence as a screenwriter during the classic era of film noir in the 1940s. He wrote six novels, many screenplays and more than twenty television scripts. He won an Edgar Allan Poe Award for Call Northside 777, and was an Oscar nominee for the 1944 film noir, Laura. The 1948 film noir, Pitfall, was based on Dratler's novel of the same title.

Later in life, Dratler became conversant in Spanish, moving to Mexico in the 1960s. Dratler died of a heart attack in 1968 at the British-American Hospital in Mexico City. His body was returned to New York. He was survived by his widow, Berenice, and their two children, a daughter and son. The latter, Jay Dratler Jr., became a professor at the University of Akron School of Law, specializing in intellectual property law.
