The exceptions are the Martiniquais politicians on http://www.senat.fr since evidently the original editor Gazelle actually tried to create them with French orthography, he just missed some, presumably because of the user-unfriendly way the www.senat.fr website is formatted.

Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).
 | This user has been on Misplaced Pages for 19 years, 1 month and 16 days. |
You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.
