WikiProject France newsletter
WikiProject France News
What's new?
The project has recently experienced a complete redesign. The
Outreach department has also undergone a major expansion, and this newsletter is the result of that.
The review department is currently under development, with several new proposals underway. Internal peer review had begun on the page of the project's
Review Department. The department currently provides a centralized platform off all currently open reviews throughout the project (Featured Articles, Peer Reviews, Good Articles, Articles for Deletion, Categories for Discussion, etc.)
A new task force has been introduced: the
Paris task force. Any users interested in contributing to the taskforce can join on the project page.
There is a current discussion about merging the French Communes WikiProject into ours. This communes project will be organised as a task force.

Articles
Five articles are currently undergoing external peer reviews:
Hi Lazulilasher, the only limit on PR is to wait 2 weeks between requests, you can go through the system as many times as are needed. I think as long as the readable prose is under 50 KB, the article would be OK at FAC.

Oh good, I'm glad you're happy, and not offended by my changes.... I do like to be absolutely sure about things... I'm glad I tracked down the fact that he was supposed to have owned the Leda. Now I can go to bed! It's 1.45 in the morning, Daylight Saving Time, here in the Illawarra! Goodnight!

Hey, thanks for your comments on the wikiproject milhist review of
Frederick III, German Emperor. I expanded the intro as you said and was wondering if you could look it over and let me know if there's anything else I can fix about it, as I know its not perfect. The assessment page where I talk about what I did is
here. Thanks if you can help. --

Hi. I'm involved in a dispute with an editor on the article
semi-highway and I'm not really sure how to continue. I feel like I'm being stonewalled in my efforts and that the other editor is refusing to get to the point. I'm sure there's something that I can do differently, but I'm also sure that my actions have been warranted. I've been editing on Wikipedia for about two months. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sure, no problem. Remember to be civil; as the gentleman from WP:Highways said: minor definitions on highways have blown up into arbcom cases. So, let's try to not let that happen. All the best, and thank you for seeking an outside opinion.

Thanks...I just found this place called the "MediaWiki" namespace. I'm having a blast trying out the new "delete" button there (not really...I'm joking...)

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. Please feel free to let me know if I screw anything up. All of these tabs on the top of my Wikipedia page don't even fit now.... :)

I saw your message on the page article on French Revolution and the Revolution Project. I am willing to help improve the article. I will read it now and tell you what I think. Do you agree that I give remarks in English? I speak English poorly ... Regards, --

Congratulations. And my apologies, for not complying to Wikipedia's standards with my editing. I wish I had known better before I started, and I think I will always regret that. Well, all good things come to an end. Hopefully I will do better next time. Au revoir, and well done.

Congratulations! :) The funny thing is, I was going to your talk page to congratulate you (I saw your RFA passed in my watchlist) when you left me a thanks. jj137(talk)00:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I will. I just closed this ages old MfD as "Keep"--ya know, to trot out the new gadgets--and it took me about 45 minutes.

Don't think I'm giving up on Wikipedia. I would just like to start with a clean slate. Maybe in a few months, a year or two. Just in a different incarnation. Perhaps we'll even meet again on this wiki. WikiProject France still has some rough edges. I am, however, confident that you will be able to deal with them, and keep the project running. This will be my last edit under this name on Wikipedia. Regretful, but not unwarranted. Times change: I'll be back. Keep it up. Wikipedia needs every decent editor it can get.

Hi, I put the anon on there as a premptive thing. Due to all the warnings on their user page, a prior block and Vandalism today on the article
Jimmy Carter. Perhaps I jumped the gun, if so my fault. Thank You -Marcusmax(
