CommonsHelper and fr.wikipedia edit

I added the templates to an "ignore" list, but couldn't find an example ("Je regret, monsigneur, mais je ne parle pas la Francais très bien";-) Just tell me again if it doesn't work. --Magnus Manske 12:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

déprotection de ma page utilisateur edit

avec les années je ne savais plus qui m'avait bloqué débloqué etc mais tout cela a fini par se révéler très positif car cela m'a permis de me livrer à des activités autres que celle de wikipedia et son aspect bien trop technique et pointilleux et donc s'éloignant du côté pionnier que toi et moi nous avions tant aimé

donc je découvre aujourd'hui que c'est toi qui a "protégé" ma page Alencon ; j'imagine que c'est à cause d'une confusion excusable avec le pseudo briling, un Polonais que j'ai logé dans une chambre chez moi pendant trop longtemps

je viens de vérifier que mon mot de passe sur le wiki français fonctionnait toujours et je pense qu'après un si long purgatoire il n'y a plus d'obstacle que j'ai au moins accès à ma talk page utilisateur  ; bonne continuation ; alencon aka QuoiNonne aka 82.224.88.52 (talk) 10:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo Homeless International.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Logo Homeless International.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:48, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Water Aid edit

Hallo, I've just wasted time on a lot of editing which hit an edit conflict so have abandoned my edits in favour of yours ... but please unlink the years and the country names, and use the template {{as of}} where appropriate. Thanks. PamD 15:22, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ah, sorry, and thank you, I wasn't aware of that. Will do! Sorry to waste your time, I was still working on it... you're too fast :-) le Korrigan bla 15:24, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Korrigan,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Mcmatter and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, University of Oklahoma International Water Prize, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion. The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now-visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

  1. Edit the page
  2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. Click Publish Changes button.

But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Mcmatter}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hello, thanks for your interest. I have done as you suggested so hopefully it's fine now. I have to say, I was an experienced Wikipedian on frwiki, and more novice on enwiki so I'm always learning new things, but creating an article and having it tagged quickly for deletion is quite unpleasant and I'd expected a chat before and not after. But maybe that's how things happen on enwiki? Thanks, le Korrigan bla 13:15, 5 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
The PROD is a 7 day notice that the article is suitable for deletion for the reasons in the PROD notice. The article could have probably been speedy deleted. With the amount of activity on EN Wikipedia we don't often have time to engage with the creator of every new page. I have now instead moved it to the draft space at Draft:University of Oklahoma International Water Prize so you can give us some references that talk about the award that are from the award itself. It currently still does not meet the criteria for inclusion. If the award is truly notable someone else would have published an article on it in a reliable source. Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with the requirements of the English Wikipedia and its requirements for inclusion; WP:GNG, WP:RS. Happy Editing.

Your draft article, Draft:University of Oklahoma International Water Prize edit

 

Hello, Korrigan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "University of Oklahoma International Water Prize".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
