User page

By the way, in response to your question, take a look at Wikipedia:User page for the rules on what you can and and can't have on your user page. Cheers, Netsnipe ^(Talk) 10:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Paul Williams 13:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC) to Netsnipe. Thanks, I've now read it. It seems that posting a mail address is accepted, but linking to a blog is not the object of a clear wiki guidline. It seems that the concern is the intention of the author. So I ask myself "By linking to a website, am I furthering the project of Wikipedia?". And the answer to that depends on the content of the website. The subject of my site is "the link between information structures and reality itself". I'm going to think about this and maybe write a page (in English) on my website about the relation between this subject and Wikipedia. Then will probably link from the user page on Wikipedia to this new page of my site. Does this seem proper? But there is a new problem. I thought there was one multilingual Wikipedia, "http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accueil" being a facet of "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page". I now find that whilst logged-on for the English version, I am not recognised on the French one. This sort of distinction is all the more annoying that your English version has a perfectly good interface for French and many other languages. Have I not understood, or is problem for good old historical reasons? Would it be wrong to copy the pages I want to update from the fr.wiki to the en.wiki? Will carry on reading, but am ready to listen to any advice from you or others in the Wiki community.--Paul Williams 13:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By all means you can link to your personal blog on your user page -- your user page is for you to describe yourself! As long as you're not posting links to your blogs within articles, then you're fine. As for the French Wikipedia, you'll need to create a separate account there for the time being. The single login system is still being developed and won't be ready for some months yet. See this Signpost article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-08-07/Wikimania tech. You should probably subscribe to the Wikipedia Signpost to keep track of developments. As for translating please see Wikipedia:Translation into English. I hope this answers all of your questions. You can reply here and my watchlist will inform me that you've replied. Cheers, Netsnipe ^(Talk) 15:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
