I created the original version of this article, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.
Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited.
I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions!

Why is it forbidden to write: "They [Lichnérowicz recommandations] can unfortunately be seen as the cause of the formidable decline of level and capacities in math of French pupils and students."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.113.70.197 ( talk) 04:54, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
It is not "forbidden", but such a strong statement should be backed up by reliable sources. Besides this, even if it is properly sourced, I am not sure that the page on Lichnerowicz is the right place for the issue you propose (it should focus on what Lichnerowicz himself did, not the consequences). I think that the page New Math would be the most appropriate place to discuss it: now it focusses mostly on the US, but one could expand it by adding a section regarding France (e.g. by translating the corresponding section in the French wiki Francesco Cattafi ( talk) 21:18, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Oh, well, I see that the chapel-spirit that already blows on French wikipedia (it is impossible to change a single comma in an article there without a pack of watchdogs shredding you to pieces) now affects English wikipedia too :-((( Rather than fight, I'll just quote an undisputable authority: http://www.ega-math.narod.ru/Arnold2.htm if anyone is really interested in math here.
This chapel-spirit, totally contrary to the tool built by Jim Wales -- I've stopped reading French wikipedia long ago --, is also unfortunately the beginning of the end of the usefulness of wikipedia.
