Though I do not really have ambitions for FA[a], your feedback will still be very much welcome, and let's treat it with the potential FA nomination in mind if some mentor wants to take it more seriously.
The article is largely, though not uniquely, a translation of the French FA article about a seaside resort in Northern France. Of course, French FA is not transferrable to en.wiki, and I'm not aware of French FA criteria but it wouldn't pass today's en.wiki criteria, but still the article is good and I used it to make a better version of it. I reorganised it so that it reads better, and also I added a couple paragraphs missing from the French version (for example, history during WWII), and did not mention a couple of others (like the list of films in which pictures were shot in Le Touquet, as sourced to IMDb). I basically omitted the "In popular culture" and "Notable people" sections. There are a couple of unsourced sentences in the article I marked, but I am resolving these issues at WP:RX and with the author of the French article, I know it's not right, look at other stuff.
In short, any grammar, syntax errors, maybe some omissions that I may have made, or maybe you believe some passages are clinical signs of graphomania, or just small typos - let me know if something is wrong, I will correct it, or explain why I believe this is right.

- ^ the one time I did some comprehensive research on a topic, Soviet economic blockade of Lithuania, the FA nomination was immediately shut down, I was shouted at for shitty writing, and the FA mentor said he couldn't mentor me. I don't hold a grudge against anyone - we are volunteers after all - but now I can't be bothered promoting FAs
Comments from Z1720
editBefore considering FA status, I suggest trying for WP:GA, where you can get additional feedback. Comments after a quick skim:
- "However, combining both in one place was a new feature in the area." Needs a citation.
- "thus suggest that Royale-les-Eaux, a fictional town in the James Bond franchise that in some passages of the novels is shown as near Le Touquet, is in fact based on it." Needs a citation.
- Per WP:GALLERY, galleries are not generally suggested for articles, like the one in "Le Touquet before World War II"
- "but all agree that Le Touquet became 'the most mined city in France'." Needs a citation.
- First paragraph of Geography needs a citation at the end of the paragraph.
- First paragraph of "Elections" needs a citation.
- "Today (mostly French) rally racers participate in the Rallye of Le Touquet [fr] (in its 64th edition in 2024), which covers most of the department of Pas-de-Calais." Needs a citation.
- Ref 54 is missing citation information.
- Ref 192 has an error code.
- Red 214: per WP:ALLCAPS titles should be in sentence cap, not all caps.
- "Monaco, Emily" Why is this not used as a source?
I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 02:08, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
