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)

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)

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)

Reunion

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

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

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)

Invitation to WikiProject recruitment for WikiProjects

Thierry Caro,

Would you be interested in trying to make your (proposed) WikiProject becoming a succes by actively involving yourself in a recruitment agency aimed at establishing an active base of participants for a WikiProject?--Daanschr 11:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

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. However, the decisions are the result of discussion and not a yes/no vote here.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


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)

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)
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)
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)
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)

Salut Thierry, on a besoin de votre commentaire à Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Le Coeur Saignant, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Commune Ango et Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girofle. Merci et A+! Gwen Gale (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Vos commentaires ont été très appréciés à Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girofle. Si vous devez encore initier une discussion de suppression sur le Wikipédia anglais, il suffit d'ajouter à l'article le modèle (template en anglais) {{subst:afd}} sur le haut de l'article et de suivre les instructions sur ce modèle après. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 22:14, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

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)

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)

Articles for deletion nomination of Claude Fischler

Ambox warning pn.svg

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)

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)

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)

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:

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)

Hi. When you recently edited Réunion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Témoignages (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
