Since you are bilingual, I was wondering if you would be interested in translating a couple of small articles in French for me? Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:28, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

• Sure! I won't commit to any ETA because my I'm a gold medalist in lazy procrastination but toss me what you need and I'll get it done eventually! :D ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 22:03, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

  No deadline! Thank you! Take your time. The articles are small: Maude Jacques and Cindy Ouellet. I sometimes forget that not all Canadians can speak English very well. But these two can. In fact, Maude was translating for me in Beijing. I tried auto-translating one once, but they delete unless the French is perfect, and mine's terrible. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

  I'll be honoured to work on the articles! The most complicated thing will be to figure out the frwiki versions of the various templates used. ;) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 14:43, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

  Hawkeye7 - Haven't had time to delve into this but I'm keeping this thread unarchived as a reminder. :) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:52, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Game hint lines

I came across an article in GamePro about live game counselors and 900 hint lines which has one or two useful pieces of info. The trouble is, I can't seem to find an article on Misplaced Pages where such information might appropriately go. Any suggestions?--Martin IIIa (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

There's probably enough coverage to convert Nintendo Power Line into a broader concept of Video Game hint lines, of which the most famous was the Nintendo Power Line: Kotaku, A.V. Club, the line was revived for the NES Mini launch (Engadget, CNet, Polygon), Wikia (unusable as a source but can be used as a base for research), featured in The Wizard, that time when one number was bought by an sex company (N4G, NBC, Wired), Gamasutra, Felicia Day biography, Geek.com, Sierra Hint Line (this is an archive of 1989 Sierra Magazine), Sega, Konami also had their own Hint Lines. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 20:55, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Martin IIIa do you have a link to the GamePro article? ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 13:17, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Bumping thread for 60 days. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 16:30, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Agh, sorry it took me so unbelievably long to notice this post! To add insult to injury, no, I don't have a link, just a physical copy of the issue. It's issue 92, cover-dated May 1996, and the articles is on pages 14-15, if that helps at all.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:48, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Quebec articles

You're most welcome! Funnily enough, you caught me right in the middle of wrestling with trying to find adequate sources to get a long-overdue article about the actor and writer Marcel Sabourin done!

I'm one of those editors who, while I don't write French well enough to actually be a contributor on FR as such, I can read it well enough to pull out the important facts from a newspaper or magazine article — and since we do have a problem with a lot of Quebec topics getting inadequately addressed on the English side, I do make an effort to help fill in some of the gaps when I can.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a database of older French-language newspaper content the way I do for the major English dailies, so I'm mostly stuck with what I can find on Google — which (as with Sabourin right now) isn't always very solid or reliable for people whose peak notability and sourceability was 30 or 40 years ago instead of within the past few years. But I try to do the best I can with what I've got. Thanks again. Bearcat (talk) 20:52, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, if you ever need some help with French translations I'm your guy. I do whatever cleanup and wikifying I can but I'm not that good at creating brand new articles indeed! BAnQ has thousands of archived newspapers. Some source ideas for Marcel Sabourin that are not about specific works (these are too many to list but often not in-depth):

Original research on Zelda 2 page

Bonjour Ben. Désolé de te déranger c'est le petit français... limité en langue anglaise... c'est pour ça que je tente de te parler à toi et en français.

Je fais face à l'utilisateur LeechQueen qui à mon sens fait des modifications cross wiki qui posent vraiment problème.

Est-ce que je peux t'expliquer brièvement le problème en français. J'ai hésité à mettre un message sur le projet vidéo anglais mais mes limites en matière de langue anglaise m'obligent à me poser des questions avant ^_^.

Bon si tu as le temps et le courage de lire voici le problème : le réalisateur de Zelda 2 est Yoshio Yamada. Ceci est relayé par de nombreuses sources secondaires de qualité et mais aussi par les moins bonnes d'ailleurs. Cependant cet utilisateur a remarqué que Yamada est crédité à tort. Il compile lui-même une source primaire c'est-à-dire le manuel du jeu et il la mixe avec une source dont la partie sur laquelle il s'appuie est une interview (donc une source primaire) de personnes ayant travaillé sur la franchise Zelda, mais qui ne traite pas de Zelda 2.... qui semble créditer Yasuhisa Yamamura. Yamada à été crédité à la réalisation avec le pseudo Yamahen alors que cet utilisateur constate que ce pseudo est attribué à Yamamura.

C'est un travail personnel un travail inédit. Il compile donc une source primaire avec une interview qui est une source primaire, pour insufler une information qui n'est vérifieé par aucune source secondaire. D'autre part les sources secondaires créditent clairement Yamada en tant que réalisateur alors qu'il met surtout les wiki le nom de Yamamura en tant que réalisateur et supprime Yamada.

D'autre part. il a édité tous les wiki pour supprimer Yamada de réalisateur de Zelda 2, pour le remplacer par Yasuhisa Yamamura. Ce qui pour moi est problématique au vu des sources actuelles.

C'est problématique car il n'y a que Wikipédia qui relie ça et Wikipédia n'est pas là pour créer l'information mais pour relayer l'information existante. Il a aussi créé des pages Yasuhisa Yamamura sur plusieurs wiki pour relayer l'information de l'éventuel réel réalisateur de Zelda 2, ce qui pose aussi problème.

Alors certes je crois qu'il a raison mais aucune source secondaire ne dit ca, aucune source ne relais ça. Faudrait-il peut-être contacter un média de référence pour lui suggérer ce détail.

Pour moi en tout cas en ce qui concerne Wikipédia en français il faudrait dire sur l'article Zelda 2 que Yamada est crédité en tant que réalisateur à tort par beaucoup de médias et puis citer ainsi l'autre réalisateur Yasuhisa Yamamura avec une source. Concernant Wikipédia en anglais je ne connais pas assez bien vos guidelines, vos choix et pratiques éditoriales et vos habitudes.

Malheureusement je suis en plein déménagement je n'ai plus toute ma bibliothèque et tous mes livres de référence je n'ai même pas mon ordinateur qui est débranché et qui est dans le fourgon, mort de rire. Donc je t écris depuis mon petit téléphone avec la reconnaissance vocale c'est assez compliqué pour moi.

Aurais-tu l'envie le courage et le temps de lancer un sujet sur le projet jeux vidéo de Wikipédia en anglais à ce sujet je crains ne pas être très clair mais aussi être maladroit si je le fais moi-même en anglais directement.

Ps : il y a aussi une discussion entre moi et lui à ce sujet sur ma page de discussion sur Wikipédia en français. --Archimëa (talk) 10:56, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Re... tu n'as pas le temps ? je tente un Google translate ? Et je poste moi-même sur le projet jeux vidéo anglais ? Amicalement. --Archimëa (talk) 12:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Salut, j'ai bien été notifié du message mais j'ai vu la longueur alors je me suis dit que j'allais regarder ça quand j'aurais plus que deux minutes pour bien aider correctement, faire mes propres recherches, etc..... et c'est encore sur ma to-do list... tu sais comment c'est. Cette semaine je m'y plongerai. :) Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 12:56, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Misplaced Pages.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Impact translation

hello Ben !

Désolé pour le dérangement... Si jamais tu as le temps : Je viens de tomber deux fois sur le terme anglais "Impact" pour qualifier un stick arcade, je ne vois pas trop comment le comprendre. une idée ? comment un bilingue le cromprend ? c'est ici et ici . ca se trouve c'est évident, mais comme cela fait 3-4 mois que je contribue en pointillés, j'ai peut-être perdu un peu de présence d'esprit !

Greetings from france. --Archimëa (talk) 13:09, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

• Dans les deux cas ça pourrait pratiquement être traduit par "impact", le terme en français est utilisé pour dénoter des concepts similaires à ceux exprimés dans les quotes en question.

"GC: Whose idea was it for it to look like the Capcom logo? Because that is odd. BJ: Well, it’s just about impact." Je traduirais "impact" par "effet saisissant", ou plus informellement en français de France "pour que ça ait de la gueule"

"In terms of those all-important first impressions, the Capcom Home Arcade makes quite an impact." Au sujet de la toujours-importante première impression, la Capcom Home Arcade "est saisissante" ou informellement "tape dans le mille".

Est-ce que ça fait du sens? J'ai pas l'impression de bien m'expliquer (on est lundi matin hehe) Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 14:56, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Bonjour. Oui, je crois que "saisissant" serait la traduction, sinon "spectaculaire". J'ai eu la révélation à l'instant en lisant cet autre article sur Metro .

Merci pour ton aide ! --Archimëa (talk) 15:55, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true. No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well S. MarnetteD|Talk 01:58, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Misplaced Pages. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
• A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
• Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Misplaced Pages:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Misplaced Pages talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

Arbitration

• The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
• Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.

Thanks for uploading File:Freefall 3050 AD boxart.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Looking to recreate User:Prisencolin/List of League of Legends champions

I believe this list meets the WP:CSC guideline, which I don't recall existed when the last AFD occurred in 2016.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:18, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Please explain? Thanks.--16:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) At it's core? WP:CSC isn't a notability guideline, but guidance on how to define the scope of a list. The notability guideline is WP:LISTN. -- ferret (talk) 17:14, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
