Hello anonymous editor(s)- You have made several helpful edits during the past week--thank you for those. The edits you made to the French department articles, however, were incorrect, and I have reverted them. We use English terms when possible on the English Wikipedia. Department is the English synonym for the French département. Here's the wp article on the word as used for French administrative subdivisions: Departments_of_France. And a English dictionary definition that includes that same meaning: AHD entry for department--note the etymology as well. Eric talk 20:17, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
