Robespierre never sentenced anyone to death. It wasn't his job. He did not control the Tribunal, period. From the things that get put here you'd think he did the entire revolution on his own and everyone else just sat back and watched. Tag: Visual edit

In general I'm not sure we should be using the term 'reign of terror' as an objective descriptor of the 1793-94 period- the term was popularized after the fact and has a definite political purpose and connotation.

The reference applied only confirms the second part (that they were all executed on 10 Thermidor). Also the "amoral bloodthirsty dictators" line is unnecessary and too biased. Tag: Visual edit
• 02:0202:02, 5 May 2023 diff hist −74‎ Committee of Public Safety ‎ →‎Committee of discussion: Use of terms such as "autocracy" and "dictatorship" are factually inaccurate. The CSP was subordinate to the Convention, so unless you want to claim 600 people were "dictators", this doesn't make sense. Tag: Visual edit
• 01:5801:58, 5 May 2023 diff hist −138‎ Antoine Quentin Fouquier-Tinville ‎ →‎Grande Terreur: For goodness' sake, please quit putting your personal opinions in Wiki voice! Couthon is not factually confirmed to be "a man of merciless fanaticism" (look at what happened in Lyon!), nor was the lack of amendments to the Law of Suspects due to "Robespierre's despotism wresting every bill he wanted", as there were in fact many bills Robespierre wanted that didn't pass.

Also I had to remove some loaded language. "Robespierre's authoritarian policies" is inaccurate because a) they weren't just Robespierre's policies, and b) authoritarianism wasn't really a concept at that time. Tag: Visual edit

Seriously, Fouche's memoirs are NOT a good source to be using here. You will see that I left much of the anti-Robespierre commentary intact in a bid for fairness; hopefully the pro- and anti-Robespierre commentary will resolve into a somewhat neutral portrayal.

• 05:1405:14, 29 July 2022 diff hist −177‎ Committee of Public Safety ‎ Robespierre was not the "leader" of the CSP. Nor was he secretly "pulling the strings" of it- how was he to do that when half the time he didn't even attend meetings? This is a Thermidorian fabrication, disproven many times, and has no place in an academic source. Tag: Visual edit
