== Leaving messages for people ==

Leave messages on the "discussion" page, not the user page.

As far as your schoolkid soccer buddies are concerned, we have no verification from any independent source that they exist at all. I'm sure they do, but so do six billion other people. The question is whether they merit an article. If they're the best soccer players at their high school, quite frankly no one outside the school cares. If they actually are signed by, and placed on the active roster of, a major professional team, that would be notable. Clearly that hasn't happened yet, because if it does, it will be in the news. If that happens, and they actually apear in major league games, feel free to recreate the articles. [[User:Fan-1967|Fan1967]] 23:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, the normal process is to leave messages on someone's User Talk page (not the User Page). Also, when you leave a message, sign it with four tildes (like this: '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>'''). When you Save the page, it gets translated to your name and the date and time. [[User:Fan-1967|Fan1967]] 18:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

== your userpage ==

Hello there - may I enquire about how you have set-up your userpage? Have you copied it from somewhere else? While it's ok to "borrow" good bits from other people (nice to tell them), it means that some of the information you have on your Userpage is incorrect. For example - unless I am mistaken, you do not have 2,500 edits and you are not approved for the use of Vandalproof.

Do you need some help getting set-up?

If so - let me know on my talkpage.

== Aw man...come on! ==

I removed the Zidane stuff, I hope you weren't offended. I was just upset that the French had beaten the Spanish who I had quite a bit of money on. [[User:Batman2005|Batman2005]] 22:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

::Agreed, I nearly jumped through the television set when they called that PK! [[User:Batman2005|Batman2005]] 23:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

I much appreciate this token. Football articles have given me a great chance to express my interest and learn about European sports organization. As well, I do hold [[France national football team|Les Bleus]] and [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] (especially manager [[Arsène Wenger]]) in high regard. Maybe there will be a repeat of the final at [[1998 FIFA World Cup|France '98]] this time... [[User:GoldDragon|GoldDragon]] 01:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
:: Me too. I wish people would stop vandalising the England page though... Many thanks for the bestowment. I have prepared a speech, but it might go over the kilobyte recommendation of Wikipedia, so I'll store it away. Gary Neville for 100 caps. Bless you. [[User:Bentley Banana|Bentley Banana]] 14:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
:::A third thank you. I've devoted my time in improving the football sites and gladly appreciate the recognition. I will be pulling for [[France national football team|France]] against the Samba Boys. Vive le France! [[User:Squadoosh|Squadoosh]] 05:44, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Just to echo what was already been said, thank you. The honour is much appreciated. [[User:SteveO|SteveO]] 12:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

Just to keep you in the loop - I've looked into the guidelines and my removing the Vandalproof logo from your page was not vandalism and I will be applying to admin to get the warning you placed on my page removed from my record. --[[User:Charlesknight|Charlesknight]] 09:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

==Your edit to [[Americans of French descent]]==
Your recent edit to [[:Americans of French descent]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Americans_of_French_descent&diff=61554845&oldid=61505040 diff]) was reverted by an '''automated bot''' that attempts to recognize and repair [[Wikipedia:vandalism|vandalism]] to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. '''[[User:Tawkerbot2/FAQ|Click here]]''' for '''frequently asked questions''' about the bot and this warning. // [[User:Tawkerbot2|Tawkerbot2]] 16:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

==Natasha Lyonne==
This doesn't change anything on the French page, but for the record, it is pretty clear that Lyonne's mother is Jewish, too. See this at the bottom of the page [http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:bJt5tGnI0vMJ:newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/4117/+%22Natasha+Lyonne%22+mother+holocaust&hl=en&gl=ca&ct=clnk&cd=3]. She says her mother's parents were Holocaust survivors, with one being in Auschwitz. I kind of doubt that they were from France, though you never know. I have never seen a reliable source that described either Lyonne's mother or (this is the important part for the list) Lyonne herself as French.

==French Names==

Bounjour Abdelkweli! I was just wondering, can you tell me what is my name in [[French]], I began to be intersted in the [[France]] region and the [[French]] language, and I was just asking can you translate my name which is Abdullah Geelah in [[French]],and can you write it in my userpage where the section of my name in different languages is (if you know a different language apart from the ones in my userpage please write them in), I would be extremely grateful if you do!!!

== WikiProject France ==

Hello! We are a group of editors working to improve the quality of France related articles. You look like someone who might be interested in joining us in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France|France WikiProject]] and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you in our project :-) [[User:SlaveToTheWage|STTW]] <font color="green">[[User_talk:SlaveToTheWage|(talk)]]</font> 10:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Thank you for barnstar!

== Charles Joseph Bonaparte ==
Sorry I dont understand why Charles Joseph Bonaparte is not a french american. [[User:Comeau|Comeau]]

==Barnstar==
Thank you. It was a tremendous compliment. I wish you well in your edits. [[User:Chensiyuan|Chensiyuan]] 15:01, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

==List==
The point is that there is no reason to have two lists. If we already have a [[List of Cajuns]] there is zero to no reason to paste these exact same names onto the French list and repeat ourselves. Furthermore, we don't put Cuban-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Argentianian-Americans, etc. onto the list of Spanish-Americans, do we? No, we don't, and it's the exact same story with those. [[User:Jack O'Lantern|Mad Jack]] 17:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
:BTW, you've broken [[WP:3RR]]; you've reverted four times during 24 hours. I urge you to revert yourself. [[User:Jack O'Lantern|Mad Jack]] 17:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::I broke 3rr and then immediately reverted myself, but you didn't. Anyway, Italian-Americans from New York and Italian-Americans from Chicago are not quite an apt comaprison to Cajuns and "French Americans". But if we do compare them, you'll notice we have no "List of Italian-Americans from New York", but we '''do''' have a "List of Cajuns" already. My main point here is that we would not list "Italian-Americans from New York" on a separate list and then list those people again on "List of Italian-Americans". Being on one list for being Italian-American is enough. The same for Cajuns - we have a "List of Cajuns", and I don't see why we would list those same people all over again for the exact same reason on another list. And finally, it's [[WP:Original research]], because in almost all cases the sources refer to those people as "Cajun", not as "French", and that's for a reason - which is that Cajuns and French-Americans are no more close than Cuban-Americans and Spanish-Americans are; since we don't list the entire population of South America as "Spanish-Americans", I don't see why we would go out of our way to list Cajuns as "French-Americans", when it seems most reliable sources don't do that.

== Respond about French-American==
Merci! mais je n'ai pas fait grand chose pour tout dire. Je viens de [[Montréal]] au Canada et toi? Aussi, en faite je trouve que tu as raison nous sommes tous des francophones quand tu parlait des cajun et autres. Moi aussi j'ai des ancètres qui viennent de l'Acadie.
[[User:Comeau|Comeau]] 21:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

:En faite, je suis indécis sur ce point de vue là. Je suis fière d'être canadien et québecois mais encore plus de parler la plus belle langue du monde le français. [[User:Comeau|Comeau]] 00:35, 07 August 2007 (UTC)

==Accusation of vandalism==
On my talk page you accused me of vandalism of an article and issued a rather stern admonition. I cannot find that article, can you point me to it? For what it's worth, I regularly review candidates for speedy deletion; the criteria are quite narrow and often I remove db's that don't meet the criteria. I see that you have been previously blocked for incivility, so while I will initially [[WP:AGF]], I expect that you can point me to what you base your accusation upon. [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]] 16:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
:what article are you talking about? There is no article [[Paul Callister]] and apparently never has been. And as for an accusation of vandalism; who do you think should do the "review" of db's? Is anyone who upon reviewing them that comes up with a difference of opinion going to get your "vandalism" post? [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]] 17:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
::I've found the article: [[Paul Collister]]. It's a typical stub that probably wouldn't survive afd, but technically not a speedy candidate. As for self-promotion, it's hard to see that the editor has a [[WP:COI]] for the "self" part and without even a website link or other contact information much less any indication that he's selling anything, the "promotion" angle doesn't convince me either. If you really want the article gone (no harm in having that opinion, I really don't have much stomach for keeping it but I cannot let my personal feelings "expand" the speedy rationale), take it to afd - you'll almost certainly be successful. [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]] 17:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I can live with it tagged as you have done, again I don't mind if you later decide to take it to afd either. Take care. [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]] 18:14, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

== [[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°1 ==
'''Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!!''' It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
* In an effort to determine the active [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members|members]] from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign [[User:ChrisDHDR/FR/members|on my special userpage]].
* I have slightly [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_France&diff=169859879&oldid=167473643 rearranged and updated] the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject France|talk page]].
* I have made a [[WP:BANNER|Wikipedia advert]] for our project, [[:Image:Qxz-ad108.gif]], what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
* There are still [[Template_talk:French_commune#Recent_edits|map problems]] at [[Template:French commune]] - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
* What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving [[Portal:France]]??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at [[Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria]].

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. ''Salut'' till the next issue, [[User:ChrisDHDR|<span style="font-variant: small-caps">Chris</span>]][[User_talk:ChrisDHDR|DHDR]] (17:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

== [[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°2 ==
'''It's been one high aiming month!''' The French WikiProject and related pages have been aiming high for [[Christmas]] - and have received an equal number of presents in return!
* [[Portal:France|The French Portal]] is now a [[WP:FP|Featured Portal]]!!! It passed [[Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:France|its Candidacy]] with 100%. Special thanks go to [[User:NYArtsnWords|NYArtsnWords]] and all those that have made this Portal work.
* The Newsletter has made it to a second issue. You can find its page at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter|WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter]] and its archives at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter/Archives|WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter/Archives]].
* A new page has been setup ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Links|WikiProject France/Links]]) to provide an index of the Projects/Portals pages (as well as helping newbees). When creating any pages in the Project/Portal namespace, please add them to the index page. This page also give WP:FRANCE members [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Links|a handy watchlist]].
* As like last time, members are asked to renew their memberships at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Members]].
* I will be on holiday when the next issue is meant to come out so could some generous person(s) please do the next issue at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter]].
Well, that's this issue. {{abbr|''Au revoir et à bientôt''|Goodbye and hope to see you soon}} till the next time, [[User:ChrisDHDR|<span style="font-variant: small-caps">Chris</span>]][[Special:Contributions/ChrisDHDR|DHDR]] (19:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)).

==License tagging for File:IOU hip-hop.jpg==
Thanks for uploading [[:File:IOU hip-hop.jpg]]. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All|this list]], click on [[:File:IOU hip-hop.jpg|this link]], then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]]. Thank you for your cooperation.<!-- User:OrphanBot/untagged-new -->{{z134}} --[[User:ImageTaggingBot|ImageTaggingBot]] ([[User talk:ImageTaggingBot|talk]]) 22:05, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:I.O.U. (hip-hop group)]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read [[WP:Your first article|the guide to writing your first article]].</p><p>You may want to consider using the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|Article Wizard]] to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on [[:I.O.U. (hip-hop group)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.'') or web content, 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 [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:I.O.U. (hip-hop group)|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, 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 [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> [[User:Rorshacma|Rorshacma]] ([[User talk:Rorshacma|talk]]) 17:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
