Dear wiki-page-watchers, When I visited and read this page a few weeks ago, I was struck by the poor quality of the (English) language used and I concluded that this was due to a translation problem which had never been corrected [does nobody ever bother to check or read this article?].
I have therefore reviewed the whole article:
This article can be further improved! In particular, you could give some attention to re-order/re-write history and organisation sections.

The units listed under 'Organization' have been translated literally, which I think creates a bit of an obstacle to understanding. I think it would be helpful and more consistent to include the equivalent names that appear in the table of ranks in the Milice article. Thus Main would be listed as 'Team' ('lit. hand'), Dizaine as 'Squad' ('lit. ten') and so on. I'm also not sure Franc-Garde is best translated as 'Free Guard'; I have seen it rendered as 'Volunteer Guard' which I think sounds better in English. What do other users think? 217.155.59.206 ( talk) 14:39, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
