40.000 french postal codes ???
You'll have to explain that to me. What's a postal
code? Is that the same as a city? In the U.S. we
frequently have a dozen or more postal codes in a
single city. Anyway, if the entries would be more
than a paragraph apiece and they seem like
information that somebody might reasonably look for,
then I don't see what's wrong with including it.
Wikipedia has been growing unevenly since it
started; I don't see how we could possibly stop it
from growing unevenly now, especially since it's run
by volunteers. I just hope that some day all the
basic topics are covered accurately, neutrally, and
in depth. :-)

ah, a postal code is similar to zipcodes in the us, or
areacode in England (except those are very very
accurate compared to ours). We have 36 679 communes.
It is entirely related to postoffices localisation
only. Most big cities (big communes) have several
zipcodes (such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille), but a code
postal can also be in relation with several small
communes (in short, that's not a bijection relation at
all, so it's a bit messy).
I believe it's probably very similar in the usa. But
that means if you put
78000 : it is Versailles. You could have a nice
article on Versailles maybe ?
But 78001 is also Versailles, so what do you put here
?
And in the 38140, there are several villages
concerned...
Oh well, why not, but only if interesting information
is on these pages, not only list just the code and the
name of the communes concerned.
This is already available on the net.
RamMan pages have contents, so there are fine.
