Paris Metro

I think you need to preserve the original references, so that others can use/check them as I have done for the history of Paris Métro Line 4. It would obviously be great to also have references from sources in English as well. I shall read the Line 8 article closely soon. It good to see this work being done.--Grahame (talk) 02:39, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer, actually I picked up some vocabulary from the line 4 article... That's where I picked up "path" for "tracé", but it sounds like "path common with line 9" is not acceptable because it suggest the tracks are common (which I think never happens in the Metro anyway) - maybe route would be better... suggestions welcome in Talk:Paris_Métro_Line_8.

Hi Anneyh, thanks for your post on my userpage. I may take you up on the source information. Meanwhile, let me know if you need any help with French-to-English translations (I see your first language is French; mine is English and my second language is French). All the best, --Mole2 (talk) 02:38, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I do have a little language issue. Paris Métro Line 12 could get the GA label, but the prose may need some ironing. On the content side, the line was mostly dug "manually", with some "cut and cover" (at least Falguieres and Volontaires as stated in Bechmann, Georges (1910). "Note sur divers types de stations souterraines établies dans les voies étroites pour le Chemin de fer nord-sud de Paris". Annales des ponts et chaussées. 1ère partie. Mémoires et documents relatifs à l'art des constructions et au service de l'ingénieur (in French) (Série 8 Tome 46): 85-105 (planches 30-31).

Air France

Hi! I am trying to get photographs of the Air France headquarters at Roissy CDG Airport. In addition it would also be nice to have a shot of the former AF headquarters in Montparnasse, Paris. If these areas are convenient for you, are you willing to fulfill photo requests for those two places? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 19:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Well actually I live in Germany, and if I go to Paris it's usually by train and not so often.

I think these photos are taken at Invalides, not Montparnasse: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sheta/9359709/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertoxford/3594160200/, it's not the headquarters though.

I'm not sure what these photos are of. The current AF headquarters is in Tremblay-en-France (on the grounds of CDG), while the original one was in Montparnasse. BTW, I have photo requests in the Frankfurt, Berlin, and Hanover areas. Are you convenient to any of those? WhisperToMe (talk) 20:58, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I think it is Air France Vaccination center at Invalides http://corporate.airfrance.com/en/utiles/contact-us/vaccinations-centre/index.html

I can upload in commons any of the photos from http://www.flickr.com/photos/anneyart/sets/72157606645562910/. I'm not moving very often but Frankfurt is one hour from home and I like Berlin.

Do you have a photo of the Air Berlin headquarters? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:15, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

No but next time I take the plane I'll think of taking my camera with me!

Thank you! I'll think about what to do with the pics of the AF offices in Invalides; I'll see where they would go in the Air France article. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:19, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

As the building is in a touristic area, it is visible, also Air France runs buses toward the airports from this point. As for the vaccination center, I don't know if other air companies do that, but Air France has/had a good reputation for advising passengers going to exotic countries (Africa/South Asia). I haven't checked the exact license of the photos but looked like cc share alike attribute no commercial use which would be fine. Not sure I can provide photos, but don't hesitate to ask for short translations from French.

Metro Line 8

Hi Anneyh, I see that you are in the process of translating the equivalent French article for Paris Métro Line 8 into English. I hope you don't mind if I try to rewrite some of what you have done to make it a bit more fluent - I appreciate that some of the more technical railway terms can be difficult to translate correctly. One technical wiki-point that you might like to be aware of is that station names should not be italicised on the English Wikipedia. Boissière (talk) 19:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I really appreciate, I do not have a very good railway vocabulary yet and when I read the article back, I was not satified! Thanks for the wiki point on italics.

Arthur Amiotte

I've userified the article to your userspace (User:Anneyh/Arthur Amiotte). As you noted it was promotional (G11), though admittedly upon consideration unlikely A7. If it could be wikified so that it compiles with manual of style guidance in your userspace, then transferred to the main encyclopaedia, there would unlikely be issues. Thanks, NJA (t/c) 11:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks. That means some work for me, but it will really look better that a wp:fr article about an American person with more than 90% references in English is having a counterpart in wp:en! --Anneyh (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

If you need any help with the Arthur Amiotte article, I'd be glad to lend a hand and published references. I can't believe someone previously deleted it! -Uyvsdi (talk) 05:00, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi

I definitively need help! It's a bit frustrating, because I can only access the resources available on the web. Knowing that you're around is great, so I'll put the article back in the main space tonight for me (around 9 pm CET). --Anneyh (talk) 07:02, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. I can catalogs from exhibits he's shown in and art reference books that mention him. No photos though, unfortunately. Cheers, -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Arthur Amiotte is back in the main space! --Anneyh (talk) 20:14, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Templates {{SubatomicParticle}} and co.

I was trying to format particules on fr:Méson B in a consistent way so I came over here, found these wonderful templates, but I was wondering if the accessibility of the particules templates was considered/assessed? --Anneyh (talk) 22:56, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Which templates do you mean exactly and what do you mean with "considered/assessed"? Is there anything wrong with the current access levels?     — SkyLined (talk) 11:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick answer. I find the {{SubatomicParticle}} structure quite elegant (I said and co because I went through the complete structure of templates behind), but {{SubatomicParticle|Strange AntiB0}} shows
B⁰
_s and gives html code :

<span style="white-space: nowrap;">
   <span style="text-decoration: overline;">B</span>
   <span style="font-size: 80%; -moz-box-orient: vertical; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom; margin-bottom: -0.4em; 
      min-height: 1em; line-height: 1em;">
      <span style="display: block; min-height: 1em; margin-top: -1.4em;">0</span>
      <span style="display: block; min-height: 1em;">s</span>
   </span>
</span>

that is read B0s by a text browser like lynx (the anti information disappears), but I don't know exactly how browsers for blind people work

Actually I think no automatic acessibility software would detect that, but the French accessibility project sounded sensitive to the use of <span> and <div for positionning elements, so I was just wondering if you had considered this point of view already. --Anneyh (talk) 12:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah, that kind of accessibilty! No, AFAIK it has not been considered at all. I am afraid I did not consider it until just now... :( It may be a bit of a problem adding it as an afterthought. However, I've tried to keep the code generalized and simple, so hopefully any changes needed won't be too complex.

I have not experience or expertise with accessibility myself, so I have no idea what is needed. However, if I get that information I can always give it a try or at least suggest it to others on some of the template's talk pages.     — SkyLined (talk) 23:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

DTAFM

Hi,

I'm actually not that proficient in technical analysis. In general, I avoid deleting articles, even poor ones, for they may be developed in the future. In case of DTAFM, my opinion would be to request references and external links to substantiate it,

BR, Lamro (talk) 16:11, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. Actually somebody started the procedure. In this particular case the article was tagged for references for 6 months... --Anneyh (talk) 18:47, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Jean Giraudoux

Hi Anneyh. For references on Giraudoux, see the books listed at Ondine article: Further reading . If you were willing to translate or otherwise create biographical information on G, I would be delighted to incorperate it. Not like Giraudoux!!?? Do you like Albee? Ionesco? Arthur Miller? T. S. Elliot? Jean Anouilh? Thanks for responding.

I am a fairly new editor and I am a bit confused on where to put discussions with other editors. I this case I put my response to you both here and also at Wikiproject France talk page. Should I only respond directly to the other editor on his talk page?--Foobarnix (talk) 20:14, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Foobarnix. It's fine to have a private discussion here. In the general discussion you can put a little thanks and ask for more volunteers.

I love Ionesco, I saw The Bald Soprano at Théâtre de la Huchette... more than 20 years ago. I currently live in Germany where I do not have access to any French or English library, so I have to buy all books I want to read. At present, I try to focus on medieval art. But I can help you. Lots of reading actually... [1]. --Anneyh (talk) 20:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Anneyh, I love Ionesco too. Saw a great production in San Francisco many years ago.

I am moving all discussion of my Giraudoux project idea to Project on 20th century French drama. It is a personal page. You can talk to me there.(Hopefully, others may join in too.) As you can see, I have expanded the scope of my project idea.

Two ideas for you. I would really like to see English Wikipedia articles on the Athenaeum Theatre and on Madeleine Ozeray. Would you possibly be interested in translating, expanding, and polishing English versions of these French articles?--Foobarnix (talk) 07:57, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Anneyh. Great work on Athenaeum Theatre. I thought maybe we had lost you. Notice that another editor is also involved now. I am so glad. Your writing style is much better than mine. Feel free to edit snything I wrote. I added the image of the theatre just recently. Thanks--Foobarnix (talk) 06:03, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually the French article is very difficulty to translate, but anyway it does not have an encyclopedic style. I think the information on famous play created at the theatre are very nice. I'll stay around anyway, but I'm not very active. --Anneyh (talk) 18:33, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Anneyh-- I carefully read your work on Athenaeum Theatre. You are right—the original did not sound very encyclopedic. Your treatment is better. Very professional. I have a question for you. I am gradually putting infoboxes into all the Giraudoux play articles. I would like to find public domain illustrations, playbills, photos, or whatever to include as images in these infoboxes. I lifted images for The Trojan War Will Not Take Place and The Madwoman of Chaillot and Athenaeum Theatre from the French Wikipedia, but I cannot find images for any of the other plays.

My problem: I do not know much about how to find uncopyrighted images. Do you? There are lots of images on Wikimedia Commons but not what I need. --Foobarnix (talk) 02:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your nice comments on my modest work.

It is very difficult to find images... I found a very nice site : Architecture Topaze, Affiches, all in French...

In France we tend to avoid the fair use rationale, so I would not import the pictures but check first how they feel like. I'm actually a member of Wikimedia France, and I think your initiative of developing French theatre on wp:en could help getting some pictures from this official collection of the Historical Library of Paris (Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris). I'll bring the suggestion there, but it may take some time... --Anneyh (talk) 07:15, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Among those French images you most kindly gave me links to I found a wonderful 1982 Ondine poster that I think would be perfect for the Ondine article. Do you think it is possible to get permission to use this artwork in Wikipedia. (I notice that the site is very aware of ownership rights as evidenced by copyright seal overlays on every image.) --Foobarnix (talk) 06:27, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I started to inquire of the best strategy to get some pictures... I think they really have great pictures, so we should try not to mess that up. The French Wikimedia is busy preparing the annual meeting. Do you happen to know an OTRS volunteer ? --Anneyh (talk) 07:23, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Another article by the creator of this article is about to be deleted as a hoax. Are you quite sure that this one is genuine? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 20:44, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes absolutely, the article is the translation of the corresponding French article that actually happened to be copy-paste of a very very local French city published newsletter see [2]. WP:FR notability guidelines are pretty unclear so I did not made the effort to start the deletion discussion there. --Anneyh (talk) 21:01, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Line 12

I copyedited the first three paragraphs of Paris Métro Line 12: see if you like it. I fixed some lingering French syntax (that's not a criticism - you don't want to see my French syntax, something I'm able to hide in conversational French, but which looks terrible in print). I also added a couple of links and generally tidied. Acroterion _(talk) 20:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Thant looks very nice... I work with native English speakers, so I know I'm not one... and of course when translating it's even worse!

--Anneyh (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Can you check my edit here [3] to see if I've interpreted the sense correctly? I'm confused about what a "market-station" is - is it just the la Chapelle market, or is there more? Can you tell who bombarded the locale - the Germans, FFI, or whomever? Acroterion _(talk) 17:55, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I corrected directly French "gare de de marchandises" is a goods station. --Anneyh (talk) 18:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah, OK - gare des marchandises would be freight depot in American usage, goods depot in British. Also freight yard or goods yard, depending on the scale. You might want to make it clear that it was an SNCF facility, not directly related to the Métro. Generally, "station" (in North America, anyway) applies only to passenger stations. "Depot" is usually freight, but can refer to an all-in-one facility. As in "Hoss, let's mosey over to the train depot and watch them unload the new stove for the general store." Acroterion _(talk) 18:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

In principle articles about Europe are written in Britsh English, aren't they? Actually, the more I look the more unclear this point is... I have to find a reference for to clarify it. What I could find out is that the goods depot was a former NS station, then belonged to the Petite Ceinture. As for the central workshop it may have been belonging to the Omnibus company and then used as a factory during WWII... Not sure what the main target of the bombing was. --Anneyh (talk) 20:33, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, sort of, but apart from articles about Britain, it's usually left up to the person writing the article. I, for example, wouldn't get everything spelled/spelt consistently if I tried to use British spelling and usage in the articles I've written on French and Belgian fortifications. Since you wrote it in British usage, that's fine, especially if that's how you're comfortable writing in English. I'll look around and see if I can find something out about the incident. Acroterion _(talk) 20:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I do have a French book : "Metro, Depots, Reseaux" from 2002... (I don't really recommend it, it consists of short communications made at a workshop). It says that the STCRP had a major (French: important) reparation workshop rue Championnet that employed 2000 to 3000 people before the war and was partly used by the German forces, but then it claims it was in use up to the 21 May 1944 bombing (p. 80). Well, "Transports dans la France en guerre: 1939-1945" By Marie-Noëlle Polino (2007) is also referring to the event with the correct date (April) on page 272, but I cannot see the page and the book is not in Heidelberg university library [4]. --Anneyh (talk) 21:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Paris Métro Line 12/GA2

Silktork is above par as usual and has told all of his excellent GA. He has kindly agreed to leave the review on hold while a few citations, particularly in the design section are added. Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate the last few for design, since the article is approaching the final run of its second GA it would be a shame to let it fail. Any help appreciated! Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 04:35, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I found:

• a lot of blogs in French [5] or [6], and a website on the Ceramics maker Gentil et Bourdet by Jean-Luc Sarcher,
• an official document from the ratp [7]
• a website on the architect of the Rontonde of St Lazare: [8]
• and a book Metro-art in the metro-polis By Marianne-Ulla Ström.

And some primary sources can probably be found on http://gallica.bnf.fr

It's late here, I'm too tired to writed anything. But don't hesitate to use these. --Anneyh (talk) 21:29, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Paris Metro Line 12

I worked on the article today, and now I feel virtually blind on whether there are still unsourced material or not. Could you check and put some {{refnec}} if necessary? Many thanks! --Anneyh (talk) 21:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I've ticked a few. I know what you mean about being cite blind. If I've worked closely on something I can find it hard to spot the cite gaps after a while. Generally, opinions and data (dates, times, amounts, etc) and quotes need citing, plus any statement that might be making a claim (longest tunnel, first underground train, etc), and anything even potentially contentious about a living person or organisation. When paragraphs are quite rich with data, then several sentences may need citing. When a paragraph remains on the same point, and simply expands upon the point, then a cite at the end should be sufficient. The best time to place cites is when you are writing the article, and you have the source material to hand. Finding the cites afterwards - going back through all your sources, trying to find the right page, can be a nightmare. I love GoogleBooks with the search function - you can be taken to the right page of the right book in a fraction of a second (provided they have scanned it!) Good luck! SilkTork *^YES! 22:38, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I actually like to look for sources. Actually it is not useless, the article needed some clean-up. I wonder if I should put this Nord-Sud, 1912-13 by Gino Severini (Galleria d'Arte Moderna of Turin) into the line article or rather the Nord-Sud Company one... and in which section... --Anneyh (talk) 22:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Editing

In case you did not read my reply: Many years ago I was taught that poor scholarship was as serious an offence as plagiarism --- "Scholarship demands thorough research; examining many conflicting sources then weighing the evidence and explaining how and why it was weighed as it was; also objectivity in assessing the validity of the material and attempting to present an unbiased credible summary with detailed citations. Holding a doctorate degree is no guarantee of being a scholar; scholarship depends upon what one does after completing the Ph.D."Sirswindon (talk) 21:50, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Face jugs

Hello, I seldom come across anyone who is interested in American face jugs and their makers. At present I'd estimate less than a dozen people who are following these pages. I am not a very active editor at present but this is one of my favorite subjects. (I actually developed my interest gradually while doing an article on Jerry Brown. But it is fascinating.) Please keep me in mind if you need an intermittent co-editor to help on any great project on the subject. Trilobitealive (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm relatively ignorant of the subject. I made a long way... I was actually looking into the aquamanile article, went to Bartmann jug] and then came across the face jugs! Sorry for deleting the red links in the article. I can make quick stubs on all artists having an entry in The Encyclopedia of American Folk Art.

By the way, do you happen to have any of the following:

• Gurley Huffman, Barry (1997). Catawba clay: contemporary southern face jug makers. A.W. Huffman. ISBN 978-0965928908.,
• Zug, Charles G. (1990). Turners and Burners: The Folk Potters of North Carolina. The Fred W. Morrison Series in Southern Studies. University of North Carolina Press. ISBN 978-0807842768..

On my side, I could get:

• Burrison, John A. (1995). Brothers in clay: the story of Georgia folk pottery. Brown Thrasher Books Series. University of Georgia Press. ISBN 978-0820316963.?

As you know, having a reference is a must to write articles. --Anneyh (talk) 16:32, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't have any of those references. I stumbled across the subject when I ran across an online article about Jerry Brown. I'm going to copy those first references to my sandbox, though and see if I can find them in the local library. And once I dig my way out of the spring rush of other things I'll be hopefully having some time to do some more articles. Sometimes I'm not online for weeks at a time but then sometimes I do a lot of edits in a row. Trilobitealive (talk) 01:32, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

If there is any way you can merge that into a single file, it will avoid that the logo does not show when viewing previous version of the article. Otherwise, just delete the file. --Anneyh (talk) 07:08, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Logo Canson

You´re right, I should have uploaded the file as a new version of the existing one and not as a new logo (what I did). Next time I will take a look at the extension of the file, sorry. Fma12 (talk) 12:02, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Joan Miró and Qrpedia

Hello! I've seen that are you are a member of the Wikiproject: Visual Arts and I would like to ask you for some help. The Wikipedia in Catalan have reached an agreement with the Joan Miró Foundation: They will include QRpedia codes next to the highlights of his upcoming exhibition about Joan Miró. It's the most important exhibit in the last 20 years, and has passed summer at Tate in London, this autumn will be in Barcelona, and then will go to NGA in Washington. The articles have been made in Catalan and are being translated into English, and I would like you to help us whether monitoring the translation, translating articles or expanding or translating them to other languages. The more languages ​​we have, the better the experience for the user. You can find more information about the Wikiproject here. Thank you in advance!.Si vous pouvez nous aider avec la version française des articles ça serait parfait. Il y a quelques articles traduits, mais manquen plusieurs--Kippelboy (talk) 11:52, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

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:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

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} 17:06, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:07, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Re: List of oldest universities in continuous operation

Hello, I have no interest in this topic at all and have no idea why you'd be messaging me about it. Graham87 14:03, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

No problem, I had seen your intervention in one of my watched page. Just forget about it then. --Anneyh (talk) 14:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
