Hi Darouet, welcome to Wikipedia! -Thucydides411 (talk) 02:34, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

It's what I call...

...healthy debate. If only it could be that way WP-wide. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 19:35, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Ugh sorry Atsme for long delay - if it was I can’t say I helped! Just one ref that I contributed. Next time I’ll do better (or that’s what I tell myself)! -Darouet (talk) 01:27, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Teahouse Hosts

Hello. Over at the Teahouse we're having a bit of a 'spring clean' by removing old entries from the list of Hosts that new users see. As you don't appear to have been very active there for quite some time, your 'host profile' has been removed from the list. But please don't let that put you off contributing again in the future - either by signing back up as a Host to assist on a regular basis, or just dropping in whenever you fancy helping out.

Thank you for all your past help and support for new users at the Teahouse. Nick Moyes (talk) 22:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Just a quickie

Darouet, I had to stop by and express my sincerest appreciation for your kind words. The few interactions I've shared with you have been most pleasant, and remain with me as fond memories. I can only imagine how wonderful WP would be if all encounters and collaborations were as collegial and respectful as ours have been. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 19:21, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Atsme, and ditto. I hope you'll not be discouraged. If it's any consolation, Diderot — before, during, and after putting together the first more or less modern encyclopedia — faced endless trouble at the hands of the State, the Church, etc. But here we all are 250 years later continuing his work. -Darouet (talk) 13:24, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Speaking of putting together an encyclopedia, following is a behind-the-scenes look at how it's done. Thanks to EEng for finding this masterpiece. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 03:59, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I rush to note that it was Softlavender who brought that masterpiece (and it really is) to my attention. EEng 05:41, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I am not surprised to learn that EEng has spent years (and probably over $250,000) supposedly building this encyclopedia, only to turn up at the end with some smart-ass lines from Billy Wilder :) -Darouet (talk) 04:46, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
