David Grossman

In the English-language article, I noticed you've added an interwiki link to the French Wikipedia, However, it doesn't lead to an article on David Grossman there. I'd like to help you fix the link; perhaps the name and title are written differently in French? Please check and revise as necessary. Also, you might want to add it to the other language Wikipedias as well. Merci, Deborahjay 22:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up:
Thierry, thanks for the update on my User talk page. I'm so appreciative of your having created the French article, particularly as it justifies the time I spent yesterday editing the English. While I presently have a serious backlog of work and neglected correspondence in the aftermath of our recent war, nevertheless I chose this task as deserving immediate attention.
You're the first French Wikipedian I've encountered, and I'd be pleased to collaborate with you again (only in the finest sense of the word, of course! :-) Feel free to visit my User page in English (and in French! though it's essentially dormant ;-) -- au revoir, Deborahjay 15:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jean-Marie Peretti

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Jean-Marie Peretti, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

could you please do me a favor?

Hello,

I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?

  1. I will send you a URL link to a webpage on which your knowledge evolution map displays. Please assign the topic (concept) in the map to a certain cluster on the map according to the relationship between the topic and clusters in your cognition, or you can assign it to ‘none of above’ if there is no suitable cluster.
  2. I will also send a questionnaire to you. The questions are related to my research topic, and I need your viewpoints about these questions.

The deadline of my thesis defense is set by the end of June, 2008. There is no much time left for me to wrap up the thesis. If you can help me, please reply this message. I will send you the URL link of the first part once I receive your response. The completion of my thesis heavily relies much on your generous help.

Sincerely

Sénat américain

I saw your questions at the Reference Desk. Let me know if I can help. (I have email activated.) I live in the Washington DC area, et je parle français au niveau moyen. Peut-être j'apprendrai aussi en vous aidant. OtherDave (talk) 01:16, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Transclusion error: {{En}} is only for use in File namespace. Use {{langx|en}} or {{in lang|en}} instead. Thanks for the help proposal. My next question will probably about the US governor position. I would like to write an article about it on the French Wikipedia but I only find a List of current United States governors (same in French WP) and a short paragraph in the Governor article in the English Wikipedia. I think most of position elements between all the US States governors should be closed enough (power,qualifications, elections, relations with State legislature) for a such article.
Template:Fr Merci pour la proposition d'aide. Ma prochaine question risque probablement de concerner la fonction de gouverneur d'état américain. J'aimerai en rédiger un article sur le Wikipédia en français mais je n'ai trouvé sur le Wikipédia en anglais qu'une Liste des gouverneurs actuels (pareil sur le WP en français) et un court paragraphe dans l'article Governor. Je pense que la plupart de ce qui constitue la fonction (pouvoir, candidatures, élections, relations avec la législature de l'État, etc.) doivent pourtant être suffisamment similaires pour un tel article.}}

USS Mayflower / INS Maoz (K 24)

Salut, Thierry! Thanks for getting in touch with me on this topic. I'd be glad to pitch in, though it may take me a while; I hope this isn't urgent? I have some ideas on how to elicit content from Hebrew sources (possibly the Clandestine Immigration and Naval Museum in Haifa - it has great pix on the Wikimedia Commons, but no page??), so let's see what turns up. --Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 09:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

שָׁלוֹם, No urgency, I just want to improve the article with the full and interesting story of this ship, both on the french and english Wikipedia. Thanks a lot for your help. TCY (talk) 10:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One more question, then: the page presently includes the text, "...coastwise trade in the Mediterranean." I find the word coastwise in my Encarta dictionary, which I take to be a directional form parallel to lengthwise, crosswise, etc. So unless this a particular usage in the context of maritime commerce, I'd have written "coastal" (in mainstream US English). Can you confirm this, or shall I post it to the Language reference desk or similar forum? -- Thanks, Deborahjay (talk) 10:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also had a doubt on this word so I checked in very exhaustive the [grand dictionnaire terminologique], they translate it in french by cabotage means coastal shipping, a ship would not cross an ocean or go to far on blue water. TCY (talk) 14:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Château de Beauregard, La Celle-Saint-Cloud

Hi Thierry,

Thank you for translating the above article that you created at French Wikipedia into English. I haven't cleaned up the grammar yet, but will do when I have a spare moment. It was me that uploaded the picture of the house as it appeared in 1872, which I found when I was doing research into my cousin Harriet Howard (fourth cousin three times removed or something). The modern day image is also very enlightening, however was it the front porch of the house itself, or the gatehouse? Once again thank you very much.

-- roleplayer 11:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS how do you pronounce La Celle-Saint-Cloud? -- roleplayer 11:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Roleplayer
Thanks for correcting my translation which need it. The picture you uploaded shows the north facade, the picture I took yesterday shows the ruins of the central front building, on the south facade where the house main door was. You can also see picture of the whole ruins in 1956 and in 1960 on this website.
For the prununciation, hard for me to explain it in english... Let's try : La (the same sound than in the name Lara or Lafayette / Celle (like sel or selle in french, like (to) sell in english) / Saint (like saint in english but without pronuncing the t) / Cloud (like clou in french or clue in english but not cloud in english). Something like that.

Proposed deletion of Setra (disambiguation)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Setra (disambiguation), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Not a proper disambiguation page; one link to another Wikipedia article, and two external links "disguised" as wikilinks. Dabs should have 3+ wikilinks and few, if any, X-links.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. –Drilnoth (T • C) 20:17, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Curtis G. Culin

Thank you very much for articles in two languages. I've tried to work on the English version a bit and negotiated for a photo in both pages; I hope to do more as time permits. Merci! --Thatnewguy (talk) 17:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the correction of my english mistakes. I've heard about Culin when I was a young boy in Normandy. I remembered it after a WE near the landing beaches so I created the article. TCY (talk) 02:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

White House paintings

Since you have asked some questions, on the Reference Desk, about the artworks displayed in the White House, I thought that you might find this article of interest. Deor (talk) 15:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chateau du Muguet

Great that you found a picture of the chateau! I've been trying to get that for ages and have now added it to the article on Edward Spears. Mikeo1938 (talk) 08:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello TCY! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 641 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Harry Roselmack - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]
