League of Copyeditors

Hi there! I came across your edits and noticed that you do a fair amount of copy-editing. I'm a member of the League of Copyeditors, a project dedicated to managing the sizable backlog of articles needing a copy-edit. We're always looking for new members, and you'd make a great addition to the project! We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you're interested, you can help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

Thanks, and happy editing! BuddingJournalist 13:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Orozco_Hidalgo_mural.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih (talk) 01:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added appropriate copyright info, I took the photo myself. Vrac 01:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

French special retirement plan

Looks good thank you! Jackaranga 20:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closing translations

Hi Vrac, what you are supposed to do is change the "Translation Status" parameter to 4 in the page. Then a bot should come along and move it to the archive page. I've taken the liberty of doing it for you on Wikipedia:Translation/French_special_retirement_plan. Hope that helps! ǝɹʎℲxoɯ (contrib) 03:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure... I know there is (or was?) a bot to do it. I *think* it doesn't archive translations until the end of the month in which they're completed (at least that's what WP:TRANSL seems to indicate!) ǝɹʎℲxoɯ (contrib) 04:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Small question

Hello! You undid a change i made regarding the Avignion Papacy in the France article,I figured out that it was somewhat important to stress that there were other claims to the papal see in Venice and in Rome. So that`s why i`m asking you why did you undid my version? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdrianCo (talk • contribs) 07:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I undid your version because the sentence didn't make much sense to me in English. " The French city of Avignon was part Western Schism between 1309-1377 , during witch it was the see of one of the persons claiming to be pope." From what I understand the Western Schism ocurred after the papacy moved back to Rome, so how could Avignon be "part Western Schism between 1309-1377"? (I'm assuming you meant "part of the Western Schism") Also, there were 7 popes during the Avignon papacy, "one of the persons" is misleading...and was there someone else somewhere else who claimed to be pope during this time? If you clarify your message I would be happy to help you formulate it. Regards Vrac 07:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marino Morosini

Hello Vrac -

I proofread your translation of this article and also filled in the parts that were left out. You were right; the sixth crusade wasn't the right one, it was the seventh, so I made the appropriate changes to the caption and link in the text. I checked the dates and such on other pages of the English Wiki. (Maybe I'll try to get one of my German-speaking friends to change the German site, or you could do that.) Please feel free to look over the changes I made and fix anything.

Thanks. Scbarry (talk) 02:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Omigosh! I'm glad you checked what I wrote. It was four women, not three. Thanks for changing the German site. But besides the text in the German site, there's also a reference to the wrong crusade as a caption to the second picture. If you're in the mood, you can change that one, too.

Danke. Scbarry (talk) 05:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Hyacinth

Hi Vrac:

Actually, I didn't know about the translation request page until just recently, so I just translated the page on my own ( :) Oops) Anyway, I see that you went ahead and translated the quotation, which is something I didn't do. All of your work looks good, feel free to update/edit/amend/augment any of my earlier translation work. Your translation read well. Let me know if I can help you with anything -- and I'll be sure to use the translation request/status page in the future. Lazulilasher (talk) 16:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I'll proofread the article today... Lazulilasher (talk) 13:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Great translation. Your work is good and reads very well. It looks finished to me. By the way, would you be willing to proofread my Mark Curtis translation from French? I completed the translation and now it just needs to be proofread (I'm poor at proofreading my own translations...I miss things like "et" and "caracteristiques")....the article is mostly just a direct translation from the French, as I don't know much about the topic. If you have the time, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks and good work! Lazulilasher (talk) 15:34, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I don't really know. I found the page with the present spelling, but there might be alternative names. bibliomaniac15 21:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for the translation. I will look into the English equivalents of the terms. bibliomaniac15 06:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Explication ?

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 03:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uhhh where is the tilde key again? I've got a french canadian keyboard.... :-D Vrac (talk) 04:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

pied-noir

Hi Vrac, I have another favor if you have the time :) I just finished a major edit of the pied-noir article where I added sources and some more material, as well as copy-editing. Considering that your specialty is NPOV, I was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at it and let me know if you thought that it was NPOV enough....thanks a lot!

Hunter Thompson

Hi, could you please explain why you felt the need to alter the page? The information there is at best the posting of an unsubstantiated rumor and at worst is a downright lie. Im quite sure Hunter though would fine this all very amusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.235.243.169 (talk) 23:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • You removed information that was valid which is why I reverted your edit. Paul William Roberts did in fact write that, see [here]. Since Paul Roberts is a well-known journalist and was a friend of Thompson's, what he said regarding Thompson's death is notable. Whether or not he is lying is a separate question...

Boliguayo

Hola Vrac. Un gusto. "Era medio boliguayo", en ese contexto despectivo, significa "era medio tonto, era un poco lento, un poco retrasado". Te mando un abrazo, --Roblespepe (talk) 00:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Content dispute

Hi, I noticed that you have broken the 3 revert rule on the Buenos Aires article during your content dispute with Yaho. I'm sure it was not intentional, but in future you should try to avoid reverting the same article 3 times within a 24 hour period because it is considered to be edit-warring. If you have trouble with content repeatedly added by a particular user, it would be preferable to seek the assistance of an Admin or a user in good standing.

Translation

Hi Vrac,

I have two problems, hope you can help.

1: I'm unable to create an account. I did create one about a year ago, but stopped my activities at the en.Wiki; perhaps that's the reason for the confusion in the database. (No matter what I try, the message is, "invalid password," over and over again. And I don't know where to turn for help, unless to a living, breathing person.)

2: Without being able to log in, I can't ask my main question: how to go about translating an article from the en.Wiki, from the English into Hungarian, for the hu.Wiki. I'm editor there, helping them out from the US where I live.

I need to know if I need permission for doing the en.Wiki translation of the article, and related things.

Thanks in advance for your help. Please reply to gmpalos@wmconnect.com if you have the time.

Best, Marta Palos —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.42.102 (talk) 16:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Confusion

Hi Vrac

I'm new to Wikipedia and am having a go at translating, and wonder if you can help, as I'm finding the Translation pages rather confusing (and judging by other people's articles, so are they!). I've managed to work out how the tracking process goes as far as translations in progress, but I can't get the proofreading section to display anything relevant in the summary section on the Translation Request page. I've come across at least one of your edits on which this info is correct (the Death is my trade one) so I assume you must know how it's supposed to work!

Thanks in advance

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Groupe Bull, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Servers and Hafnia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jonah Falcon

For the record, the subject matter of this article does not offend me. The fact that I'm a member of the Pornography Project along with my track record of edits on related articles should be ample evidence of that. I was truly questioning the GNG of the article and its basis. From the discussion, I became convinced that not only was the article worth keeping, but precedent it sets is important as well. As much as I lobbied for the article's deletion, I think the discussion helps to better define exactly what is Notable or not. By the way, thank you for your comments and participation in the discussion. Best regards, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 19:54, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, thanks for the clarification. Vrac (talk) 20:07, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

11:08:33, 9 December 2014 review of submission by 77.86.86.38


Hi, thanks for reviewing the article. Just need a few pointers as to which parts are deemed irrelevant/sales related.

It's not meant to be an advertising exercise, so apologies it's been viewed this way.

Happy to make all amendments to reverse the decision.
