Reunionese music

Hi! I noticed that you nominated Shaamans for deletion. Could you look at another article, Baster (band)? Should it stay or go? Punkmorten 21:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Arrondissement of Saint-Denis, Réunion

Hi, The image you added looks good. I'm not clear though about the lines - are they rivers? There seem to be too many to correspond to the boundaries of cantons. Dlyons493 Talk 14:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thanks for the reply - I wonder would it be useful to number them to correspond with the list in the article?. Dlyons493 Talk

Merci, je n'étais pas au fait avec ce lien. Dlyons493 Talk

Saint-Martin and Saint-Barth - NOT YET!!!

I see you have added to Overseas collectivity and Overseas departments and territories of France that Saint Martin and Saint-Barth are Overseas collectivities since the bill has passed. This is not correct. The bill has passed but it will be another six months before this status is effective after the law published in the official journal. See page 2 of this PDF: [1]. - Thanks, Hoshie 01:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reunion

Should we rename the new category Into Gouvernors and Prefects of Reunion? MadMaxDog 09:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably misspelled both titles. But you'll know what I mean ;-) MadMaxDog 09:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Binding vs. Bending? en<->fr knot category links

Hello! Thanks for adding all the links between the fr and en knot categories. I'm impressed with the progress I've seen recently in the fr knotting articles. However one of the category links appears to be incorrect, the one between en:Category:Binding knots and fr:Catégorie:Nœud d'ajut. The knots in that French category appear to be bends (en:Category:Bend knots) rather than binding knots. Given the similarity between the words "bind" and "bend", perhaps that is the point of confusion. I've corrected this. However I couldn't find a fr category for binding knots, but if there is one please add the appropriate link. Regards and thanks again for your contributions. --Dfred (talk) 15:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Featured articles

Hi, just so you can participate fully in any discussions on the English Wikipedia, unlike the French Wikipedia there are no minimum requirements for your views to be counted.

Reunion stubs

I don't object to their removal - you know the country better than I do - but I don't see that there's much I can do. If you re-list them, let me know and I'll be happy to back you up. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 13:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ca je comprend bien, m'sieu'. (Pardonnez-moi, mais cet ordinateur n'a pas des accents, je pense.) :) My chief concern is getting enough Reunion-geo-stubs together to have a decent-sized stub category. It requires 60; would you happen to know of any landforms that would help make up the difference? --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 14:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then - I'll try and get some translations done today. I can't promise they'll be as complete as I'd like, tho'. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 14:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've done a few - how do they look? My high school French is a bit rusty, I fear. I'll do some more later; right now I've got a couple of translations I'd like to work up for DYK. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 15:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You call that rusty? I wish more American citizens spoke English as well as you - then maybe I wouldn't have such a hard time understanding people when I go out.
Take care. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 15:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Ocean

Hi, thanks for your comments. I will take the Saint-Paul thing on board and any help you can give on the French perspective would be appreciated. As for Corbet's action, I don't think it merits an article on its own, but see User:Jackyd101/Sandbox, where I am writing an article on the campaign as a whole and include information on that action. Thanks for your interest --Jackyd101 (talk) 14:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a thought, if you add the new information from French sources and provide references on the talk pages, then I can add it to the articles in English of the appropriate standard. Would this work for you!--Jackyd101 (talk) 15:16, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Claude Fischler

I have nominated Claude Fischler, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claude Fischler. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Lilly Wood and the Prick

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Lilly Wood and the Prick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ~~Awsome EBE123~~(talk | Contribs) 20:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Undid

It's quite obvious you do not know much about volcanology. I just undid your vague undos to my edits to Category:Volcanism and Category:Volcanology, simply because volcanism is a topic of volcanology and that is why I made Category:Volcanism a subcat of Category:Volcanology. Just because I left WikiProject Volcanoes dosen't mean you can go around undoing my edits. If you want proof volcanology is about more than volcanoes I suggest you read this. I understand there is lots of users on this website that just do not know what they are doing but I am not one of them. I have been studying volcanology for more than 5 years and I know what I am talking about. Volcanoguy 04:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it.wiki : Call for resignations

Hi, I fully agree with your idea/proposal: meta:Wikimedia_Forum#Call_for_resignations.

The key point is that admins are no way allowed to apply censorship/denial of service to a part or to the whole Wikipedia without having previously:

  • fulfilled a poll to the users of the Wikipedia project
  • asked WMF for legal support and agreed about the proper thing to do

All the italian sysops that decided the motu proprio strike have betrayed the faith of the users who chose them as admins. We now have to get them resign their sysops status and, altogether, decide a proper guideline that every admin will be compelled to follow when dealing with hot topics such as the freedom of Wikipedia itself.

Jimbo, I understand that - dealing with italian law and politics - you support the italian style action of dramatic blanking. I don't understand why you agree with the fact that this blanking has been done without consensus: (1) Italian editors have not been proposed any poll, (2) WMF has not been asked any suggestion nor legal support. Please be sure that admins of local projects, in the future, will no more be able to perform such a denail of service without consensus with editors and WMF. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 14:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
I am told that this was not a small group of admins, that it was discussed for a long time, and that there was strong support. However, having said that, I agree with you that in the future process should be much clearer, and actions like this should be taken in coordination with the Foundation and the wider community. One reason for that is so that we can time it to have maximum impact, give solid PR support from the Foundation, etc. This has never happened before, and we had no warning, so, you know, it's a little complicated.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:13, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

and moreover

I had a question about issue actually. I've been having a very hard time understanding how a process of discussion that even remotely resembles consensus building around this issue could have occurred while no one outside of the Italian Wikipedia was aware of it. It's just not possible unless the Italian Wikipedia is no bigger than a dozen editors. So in what manner exactly was this "under discussion in the Italian community for months," as Jimbo says? Like I said, I'm having a hard time understanding that, and maybe Jimbo or someone from the Italian Wiki can shed light on this.Griswaldo (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
These are good questions and I'm sure clear light will be shed on them in due course. I would love it if you would go and ask them and then report back here what you learn.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 15:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Talking ad Jimbonem is only a strong suggestion, but please get in touch and let's start a proper democratic - horizontal process where we will decide proper guidelines and proper reaction to this shameful event. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 23:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Krissy Moehl

The article Krissy Moehl has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 08:11, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability in question

There is no article Ultra-Trail World Tour. Why is there and why are there articles (however poorly sourced) about some of the constituent races thereof? --Orange Mike | Talk 21:44, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Historic hotels

Hi there. I notice you created w:Category:Historic Hotels of America. Why not use w:Category:Historic hotels in the United States? Magnolia677 (talk) 11:22, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: Hello. You can have a look at Historic Hotels of America, where this explains itself. Thierry Caro (talk) 12:54, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Then why didn't you name the category "National Trust for Historic Preservation hotels"? Magnolia677 (talk) 14:38, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has other programs into which hotels may be included. The Panama Hotel, for instance, is cited among the National Treasures but it does not appear among the Historic Hotels of America. Using the unspecific name of the Trust would thus be confusing when it comes to the intended content of the category. Thierry Caro (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't make any sense, but ok. You linked "Category:Historic Hotels of America" to the parent w:Category:National Trust for Historic Preservation, yet you added "Category:Historic Hotels of America" to Alpenhof Lodge and other articles that don't appear to have any connection to the National Trust for Historic Preservation? Magnolia677 (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Historic Hotels of America is a program by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, so Category:Historic Hotels of America is a subcategory of Category:National Trust for Historic Preservation. And then the Alpenhof Lodge is one of the hotels that are part of the program and the article thus falls in Category:Historic Hotels of America. The logical chain is quite simple. The Alpenhof Lodge is recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as worth of its Historic Hotels of America standard. Thierry Caro (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Forêts National Park

Hello, Thierry Caro,

Thank you for creating Forêts National Park.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Hi, Nice start to the article. I can't find any references to this park - It is the same as National forest (France)?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hughesdarren}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hughesdarren (talk) 00:03, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hughesdarren: A national forest is something different. It is a type of forest. The Forêts National Park is a specific national park, a new one, which by the way includes some national forests. Thierry Caro (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK was just checking, but you will still need to include a reference in the Forêts article, even if the reference is in French. Regards. Hughesdarren (talk) 00:14, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Forêts National Park moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Forêts National Park, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:56, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I really love drafts, though not as much as bureaucracy. Thierry Caro (talk) 03:02, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
U r funny. Anyhow, i added a bit, and "submitted" it to ArticlesForCreation, and it was promptly moved back to mainspace. Thank you for starting it. It is now partially my imperfect translation of the French wikipedia article. Do you know what is the template to use on the Talk page, or otherwise how to indicate that / give credit properly? --Doncram (talk) 13:51, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020

Information icon Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:44, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cordless Larry: The source is the NYT, added to Wikidata. Thanks for your watch. Thierry Caro (talk) 21:45, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. The information still needs to be included in the article to justify the categorisation though, I think. It's strange that none of the other obituaries I've found mention the coronavirus as the cause of death (although the NYT attribute that to his son, so I can't see it being a mistake). Cordless Larry (talk) 22:09, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cordless Larry: I suppose the son has been debriefed by his father's medical team and the New York Times was probably the only source to bother and call the family for extra details. Whatever, I'll let you decide what to do with it. I personally think it's wise enough to assume this is correct. Thierry Caro (talk) 22:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's strange, because his death got quite a lot of attention from the BBC. Anyway, I've now used the source and re-added the category to the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Peaceful Valley Ranch

I noticed you recently created a French article on the ranch - I just expanded the article significantly, you're welcome to borrow from it. My wife and I were in the park in the fall of 2018, as you may have guessed from all those pictures, and it was one of our favorite places on that trip. Acroterion (talk) 01:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Acroterion: Do you think you could do something for me here, on the English Wikipedia? I'd like Category:National Register of Historic Places lists in the National Park Service to have each list stored into a new dedicated subcategory such as Category:National Register of Historic Places in Guadalupe Mountains National Park. We have fr:Catégorie:Registre national des lieux historiques dans un parc national on the French Wikipedia and I want its content to have interwikis. Can you help with that? I guess the tidying of the main category is also an opportunity to update the lists with possible missing entries. Thierry Caro (talk) 03:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, I'll work on it when I get a chance in the next couple of days. Acroterion (talk) 03:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've started with Category:National Register of Historic Places in Acadia National Park, and populated it with the relevant sites. One thing to watch out for - some parks cover portions of more than one county, even small parks, so I stuck to modifying Category:Acadia National Park to Category:National Register of Historic Places in Acadia National Park and left Category:National Register of Historic Places in Hancock County, Maine alone. Isle au Haut is in Knox County, and while that part of the park doesn't have any NRHP listings, I want to keep the category structure rational. Acroterion (talk) 00:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Acroterion: Thank you for this. I hope we can have everything done eventually. Moreover, I have even more work for you! Gamlin Cabin is missing from National Register of Historic Places listings in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks. Can you fix that, possibly? Thierry Caro (talk) 17:50, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've been buried with work the past week, and nowadays I'm working from home, so going back in front of the computer in the evening has less charm than before. However, I'll gradually work my way through the categories and lists as I've been doing. You may want to adjust the category structure to suit your ideas on how the lists and categories should relate. And I'll see if I can get an article for the Gamlin Cabin. Acroterion (talk) 20:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Acroterion: Category:National Register of Historic Places lists in the National Park Service is now much better. Thank you for your help! Thierry Caro (talk) 06:35, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finishing those up, it's a lot better now. I'd like to go through the lists and add some articles once I get past some work deadlines. I'll have a look at Gamlin Cabin. Acroterion (talk) 01:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
