French Page

[edit]

Hello. I noticed you've made a change to the French language page, saying that there is an agency governing French in Louisiana. Here, I think the meaning of an "agency" is an organization that is recognized as having authority to make determinations about spelling, terminology, etc. We do not have any such authority in English, for example. This does not have to do with regulating when and where the language is used or encouraging its use, but in deciding what the language is, in a sense. Does the agency you mentioned in Louisiana have this role? Joeldl 04:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Sorry, I guess I meant "regulatory authority", not "agency" Joeldl 04:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Enjoy!

Merci de votre réponse,

Voici mes questions:

1) Est-ce que le français est enseigné à l'école?
2) Existe t'il des comunautés francophones en Louisiane qui représente la majoritée de la population?
3) Est-ce que là bas le français est en instinction?
4) Est-ce que vous avez la même façon de penser que les autres américains?
5) Dites-moi quelque phrases en cajun pour que je sache à quoi resemble cette langue?

Merci, car je connais très peux à propos des cajuns et si j'ai d'autres questions qui me viennent je vais vous les poster sur votre page. Ps. la nourriture cajun est excellente.

Comeau

Merci cela m'a beaucoup aidé pour connaître votre culture. Comeau

Correction - George Bush did not win the election

[edit]

I think you did a excellent job explaining the Electoral College and how and why Bush was elected in 2000. Few people I have talked to understand how our Republic works and how we eventually morphed into a democracy. - GreyGh0st 20:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cajun French Wikipedia

[edit]

Hi! Your request for a Wikipedia in Cajun French is about to be conditionally approved. To get final approval, you need to translate most of the interface for the Wikipedia. This is done on BetaWiki. Register there and read Translating Intro. Apply for translator status here to get started. Bonne chance! Jon Harald Søby 21:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who were the first americans?

[edit]

Hi Billiot... It appears that much of your disagreement (and your claims that he is racist) is centered around two points: the question of "who is the first American?" and the issue of the peacefulness of the native cultures.

Regarding the "first American" issue, you might find this special by PBS to be quite interesting. Apparently archaeologists discovered a Caucasian skeloton that appears to pre-date the earliest known "indian" skeleton. They call it the Kennewick Man. There is currently a lot of debate over the issue, but I think that is where Storm is coming from.

On the second issue... the "Noble savage." It's actually quite an issue. The "Noble savage" myth was a backlash to the "bloodthirsty savage" myth. Both are untrue and both are racist. The truth is somewhere in between. Some tribes were fairly aggressive and some were peacefully. We have a very well-sourced article on the topic here: Noble savage.

I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy both of our articles. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 17:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can ignore any evidence you want, but the point I was making is that Storm's opinion is not coming from haltered of the Native Americans - it's coming from actual scientific and sociological discussions. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 16:34, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peersonal attacks will not be tolerated

[edit]

The Message that was previously here was put here by an admitted Racist, Storm Rider, and as such it needed to be removed. Also please note the deliberate tampering with this talk page by said Racist in the removal of factual information from the top of the page that had outlined exactly what offenses to he had stated against my race. You will see that they do not deny that he did it and even had help from from the another Wikipedia Administrator as demonstrated by the note that I did not remove which can be seen below.--Billiot 10:43, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One the same note please remove the accusations of racism from this page. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 00:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On the subject on weteher or not Joseph Smith Jr. was racist, you said that you were on a website that said that if someone form another race became mormon then thay would turn white. I would like to know where you got the information form (post a external link on my talk page at User talk:Miajmw). Also I would ike to note that the mormons are not racist anymore, thay now have all races in there religon now. I am not takeing sides here so do not go onto my talk page and call me a racist becuase I don't take your side (as I have said I am not takeing anyone's side.Miagirljmw14 19:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to note that the FLDS are the type of mormons that are racist (I am still not taking sides, if you would like to post on my talk page it is User talk:Miajmw).Miagirljmw14 17:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Latin translation

[edit]

Hello,

I see that youur level may qualify you for a Latin translation, could you please translate for me the following text (taken from the Directorium Inquisitorum). It is most probably the result of a character recognition system. The scan of the page is available here if you need it - a rather bad one, I'm afraid.

(§151) Tertius modus processum fidei finiendi & terminandi est,++ quado delatus de hæresi processus meritis diligenter consideratis, cum bono consilio peritoru, reperitur varius, vel habens indicia co[n]tra se ad quæstiones, ut scilicet exponatur quæstionibus & tormentis; ut si quæstionatus nihil cocesserit, pro immuni & innocente habeatur; ++[Sylues.de Strig.lib. 3.cap.4. pun.5. Tabien. verb. inquisitor. §.14. Siman.ca tbo. insti. tit. 65. nu. 13. Schol. 53] Et hoc est, quando delatus non est deprehensus nec propria consessione, nec facti evidentia, nec testiu legitima productione, nec sunt indicia ad talem suspicionem, ut habeat hæresim abjurare: est tamen in suis cofessionibus varius, vel aliàs sunt indicia sufficientia ad quæstiones & tormenta. Circa istum talis practica est servanda. In tali autem casu quia sententia interlocutoria est contra delatum fereda, & non pro eo, per episcopum & inquisitorem, conjunctim, & non divisim est ferenda, juxta c. Multoru. in clem. In primis si talis steterit in negativa firmiter, & nulla tenus (licet inductus per probos viros) fateri voluerit veritatem, feretur sententia, quæ videtur sapere vim diffinitivæ sententiæ per modum tenoris sequentis.

[...]

(153) Si quæstionandus reperiatur varius, & insimul sint indicia alia ad quæstiones sufficientia, ponatur utrumque in sententia, ut in prædicta positum est. Si autem hæc duo non concurrant, sed unum tantum, utpote varietas sine alijs indicijs, vel alia indicia sine varietate, ponetur in sententia ut invenitur. Sententia autem lata mox exequetur vel exequi simuletur. Non sit tamen inquisitor multum voluntarius ad quæstionandum aliquem;+ nam questiones & tormenta non inferuntur, nisi in defectum aliarum probationum; & ideo perquirat alias probationes. [+ Non facile veniatur ad tormenta Schol.53.] Quod si non invenerit, & tenet probabiliter, quod delatus est culpabilis, sed metu negat veritatem, bonis modis & [gr?]andoque cautelosis, & interdum adhibitis ejus amicis inducentibus ad veritatem dicendam, faciat suam diligentiam,++ ut ab ore ejus habeat veritatem, & negotium non festinet: nam meditatio frequens, & carceris calamitas, & replicata informatio proborum virorum, disponunt ad veritatem eruendam. [++ Notandæ inquisitoribus.]

Take your time, just leave me a note when hou're done with it. If you translate it in French it will be fine ;o) but this won't be necessary. Thanks in advance, Michelet-密是力-Me laisser un message 05:21, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Latin

[edit]

I am not sure whether you are familiar with a WikiProject or not (a description can be found here) but I'm planning on starting one for the Latin language. This is mainly because Latin is and has been such an important language in the history of western civilization but the article is only rated a 'C'. If you support my proposal then please sign your name on the proposal page here. 95jb14 (talk) 14:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU

[edit]

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:08, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
