Zola is listed in List of Croats. Why?
See the Wikipedia article on Henry Vizetelly the English Publisher, who was prosecuted for publishing The Earth (and Discussion Page).

The link titled "Travail" links to a stub on a musical group. Don't know how to fix it, but it's not right.
This is my pet bugbear, but the paragraphing in the biography section needs work, preferably by the editors who've written the existing material and therefore are most comfortable with the section. At the moment, they're all one sentence paras, even when there's an obvious thematic thread (i.e. Dreyfus etc), and this makes things confusing. Sound reasonable?

How do you pronounce Emile? Is it "EH-MEEL"? Or "Emily"? Is "Emily" a mispronunciation of the French, but an acceptable Americanized pronunciation?
Normal correct French usage is not to put an accent on capitals, so I propose moving the article to Emile Zola. Ty 01:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I know that lists are 'bad', but its essential to at least provide a list of his major works, many of which have no mention at all in the present article. Caspar esq. ( talk) 20:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I do not speak French so there is no way for me to recognize any of Émile Zola's famous works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.16.249 ( talk) 20:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Is a Émile Zola came to the prison in practice?
The article says that he escaped to England. And write here (1898) that he entered the jail. Who is right?

This section is clearly subjectively written, without citations. Wikipedia is not the place for editorializing or independent literary criticism. I actually find what you've written interesting, but this just isn't the forum for it. Ironically, maybe you could simply post what you wrote to a blog and then cite to that ;). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.20.227.156 ( talk) 06:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
This work becomes an opera by
Alfred Bruneau and a film starring
Fernandel.
But it is not listed.
I presume, therefore, that it is a conte.
I am not familiar with Zola's work in detail.
Are a number of his "tales" of major consequence? Should the article be noting these by name? If they don't justify independent articles, should these tales be discussed in some detail here?

I'm sure there are too many adaptations to list, but particularly for english-language wikipedia the major multipart series of adaptations on BBC Radio 4 are surely worth mentioning? It's a serialisation of all 20 Rougon-Macquart novels in coherent form. (and it's excellent). http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06pydll — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.104.165 ( talk) 19:41, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

This article has had an "original research" notification at the top for over 4 years. You'd think one of you would do your diddly dang job and fix it. 02:29, 24 December 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.161.253.178 ( talk)
Hi all,
I have a few concerns with the "Quasi-scientific Purpose". It's an important section, but gets a few things wrong and leaves a few things vague. Zola didn't just see the experimental novel as a psychological study; it was also a social one. He also makes clear in his theoretical texts that "dispassionate observation" isn't sufficient. He believed it was necessary to modify the trajectories of the character and analyze the results; he really did see his novels as experiments. The meaning of the term "dossier" is not clear, and doesn't tell us much about his research and writing methods. I also don't see why we need these cherry-picked examples at the end; why are these novels of importance, and not others? At the very least, the wording could be changed here. I'm happy to make these edits and cite sources. Let me know what you all think. Thank you!! Jæ Orris ( talk) 04:40, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
There's nothing in this bio about his role in popularizing and defending the Impressionists. I'm currently working on content about this for the article on the Batignolles group, but I was hoping to find more already here. As it turns out, according to Duret (1910), Zola was instrumental in bringing Manet and other painters together, many of whom would later become known as Impressionists. Hemmings (1958) concurs, referring to Zola's "Thursday evening gatherings" circa 1866 as a precursor to the later Batignolles group, out of which Impressionism would emerge.
