(looking up at "Psycho" comment) Hi, welcome to Wiki. Saw your Paris edits - thanks! Just think: if 12,800,000,000,000 peaple did do the Eiffel tower each year... wow, imagine the taxes. Chiraq could buy the US : )
Take care, happy editing,
THEPROMENADER 23:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Aquarelle, I must warn you against user ThePromenader, who has already messaged you I see. He messages every person editing the Paris article to try to win them to his side. Unfortunately, this user is motivated by POV, and has been trying to impose his POV on the Paris article over the last 4 months, a bit like user SignumPolis at the France article, whom you already know about I think. In a nutshell, ThePromenader is opposed to any mention of a metropolitan area of Paris. He insists French people do not know the concept of metropolitan area, he insists Paris is just the city within the Périphérique, period, anything else is just Ile de France, which he insists is very different from Paris. He tries to portray Paris as a small city of 2.1 million inhabitants, and he reverts any user who mentions that the metropolitan area of Paris is in fact one of the largest in the world with 11.6 million inhabitants.
I have been trying to reason him, I tried to explain to him that the concept of metropolitan area is as familiar to French people as it is to American people (région parisienne, région lyonnaise, etc.), but this guy doesn't listen to anything but to his own opinion. If you would like to reply to this guy on the Paris talk page, please do so. I have seen on the France talk page that you are knowledgeable about French things. However, ThePromenader is even more opinionated than SignumPolis, I must warn you, so it takes lots of time and efforts to answer all his numerous edits, and follow up every day on his incessant changes to the Paris article. I would appreciate if you could intervene as I am going nowhere with this guy. Thanks. Hardouin 00:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Just removing some of LordRevan's unsigned graffiti. --Aquarelle 13:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm. Lay off the personal attacks (WP:NPA). And I am not stupid, I have Fetal alcohol effects, which if you read it, you will better understand my impulsiveness. LordRevan 01:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
LOL, I like this guy, don't you Aquarelle. Im back. LordRevan 01:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Bonjour Aquarelle,
Regarding your correction to my edit of the article. First, I can see your point for an article about a french territory having the metric units first. However, here is the reason it was edited 687 square miles (1,780 km²):
Secondly, the figure for the total area that I changed was correct. The 1,702 sq km comes from the french land registry whichs does not include any water—land only. The term total area refers to land and water. In this case 1,780 square kilometres (687 sq. mi). See that you are fairly new to wikipedia, so check out the MOS and have fun editing. Bonne chance. MJCdetroit 14:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
As you mentioned, I have replied on my talk page. Is this the correct ettiquette ? Let's talk there :-) --jrleighton 13:34, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
I shall also consider responding in a balanced way to your additional accusations of me adding POV issues to other articles - but in a week or two after a cool off. Let's cool off first. I am reasonable, and not a vandal. Thank you for your understanding. --jrleighton 14:03, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
You have also made several personal attacks on me on the EU article talk page - asserting that I am "against the EU", amongst other things. I do not understand what warrants this vitrole. Have I offended you ? Perhaps we have differences of opinion on what constitutes NPOV and over adding content to Wikipedia; but as rational people, I am sure that those could be addressed. Please do - however - either explain to me in a rational way what it is that has led you to make several attacks on me. I do not understand. Forgive me, but I am making an assumption about you (based on your Wikipedia contributions) that you are French. Perhaps I can demonstrate to you my non-anti-French credentials: see Talk:Bastille Day (several of my contributions are unsigned before I figured out how to sign but you can see from the page history - IT figuring out takes longer for those of us not brought up with IT during our childhoods).
I do not like personal attacks and unfounded allegations. If I have offended you in some fashion, then apologies are offered in advance, but in return I ask for your explanations of your outbursts. Thank you, once again, for your understanding. --jrleighton 14:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I removed your changes, and explained it on the article's talk page. -- 790 12:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself to some of the people here--ChaplineRVine(talk ¦ ✉) 08:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I know you probably have been warned about trying to socialize with me on wiki, but I was just wondering what you, Rusty, and I share in common. The only thing I can think of is our commitment to our beliefs. And I live in Central Washington, in a stupid town called Ephrata. LordRevan 23:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Can you help me out in trying to shut that universegenious guy up? I'll look after the page. Arbiteroftruth 07:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I saw from the talk dialogue. We might need to get an admin to just ban him for a few hours so he can learn some wikisense. I will try to revert his edits, but I am getting mighty close to the 3RR. Arbiteroftruth 07:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
You know, if he insists on having CNN first, we can whip out the "alphabetical order" argument, which can shot him down permanently. He is new to this page, I believe. His contribs are very little. Arbiteroftruth 08:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[[1]] Did you see this? God when will this stop? Arbiteroftruth 08:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
This user has exact the same edits as the other. This is an editwar , its not vandalism. If someone gets banned for that , all here could get banned. Plus you put wrong informations to the article, remove web links etc.--Universalgenius 08:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Can you just be quiet, you insufferable fool? Wikipedia has its limits, and engaging in unsubstantiated accusations is outside of all bounds. Wikipedia could do without you, universalgenius, so if you don't agree with what we are doing, get out. Arbiteroftruth 08:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:No personal attacks. --Universalgenius 08:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Do not whip out the rulebooks on us, universalgenius, when you obviously haven't been following it. We are here to say that we have had enough, and we are very tired of seeing our good-faithed edits being maliciously targetted and wiped out by you. Please, if you don't like it, leave. Arbiteroftruth 08:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
You both should read: Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Same sentence is valid for me : "I didn't put any incorrect information on the article, and even if I did, it was a good-faith edit and there is nothing wrong with that." This is an edit-war. --Universalgenius 08:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Good faithed? My lord, malicious edits are good-faithed now? Arbiteroftruth 08:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
And for a quick refresh in elementary school grammar, "B" comes before "C" Arbiteroftruth 08:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:No personal attacks, I hate CNN, however it has a larger distribution on tv. You deleted another user report. --Universalgenius 08:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Newsflash, Universalgenius, thousands edit Wikipedia, and if you don't want your edits changed mercilessly, get out. We don't save edits because you made them. Arbiteroftruth 08:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello. On Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, did you intend to remove the listing I had added, or were you intending to remove the listing that had your signature attached? I think you might have mistakenly removed the wrong listing. SWAdair 08:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Please re-add the listing there, and make sure that NO LISTINGS are deleted. Thanks! Arbiteroftruth 08:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your comment; it would appear that the editor in question has been banned. I did, however, try to be civil with them, for whatever that's worth. Hopefully, they will have learned from the experience. →DancingPenguin 12:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Now that he is banned, if you want to give me your IM on my talkpage, you can certainly do so! Arbiteroftruth 14:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Looks like that sh**hole is attacking our page once again, I hope his IP gets banned. I really don't care now if half the US gets banned from Wikipedia because of him. Arbiteroftruth 22:49, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
There is no doubt that any divergence in opinion does not imply personal hard feelings and does not diminish the pleasure of collaboration. My interest with satellite English language channels comes from my interest on language policy. Well, I myself am an example of someone in Greece who chose learning French as a foreign language (though as a second foreign language). But even in Greece times are changing. See Languages_of_the_European_Union#Language_skills_of_European_citizens. It is true that I read more the anglophone resources, but not only: I checked also AFP article on France 24 at French Yahoo. Anyway, something from the Associated Press: "About €86 million (US$110.5 million) in funding will come from the French government in 2007, the first full year of operation. France 24 hopes another €3 million ($3.9 million) will come from ads. (...) Though it is publicly funded, the channel is privately held by TF1 and France Televisions and is for-profit, though it not expected to make money in the short term." [2] This seems closer to your opinion on the subject.--Michkalas 00:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello - I'm contacting you because of your involvement with many French articles. A few have undertaken the task of "Anglicising" French terms in Wiki articles (eg/: "Région => Region"; "Département => Departement") - there doesn't seem to have been any discussion about this, so your point of view would be welcome. I think a good place for this discussion would be the WP:FR page. Thank you. THEPROMENADER 14:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
I have initiated a Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Anglicisation of French administrative terms. Please leave your comments. -- NYArtsnWords 22:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Why did you remove the redirect at 20 minutes to 20 Minuten. I reckon it's the same newspaper. --Ysangkok 09:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
It's totally possible that Roland Garros (tennis) is the correct title for this article. But a move like that needs to be discussed first. I've temporarily reverted your move pending discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis#French_Open_page_moved.... Please join that thread, it would be good to get your take. --dantheox 18:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article France Monde, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add ((db-author)) to the top of France Monde.

From WP:NOT
Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, provided that discussion is properly referenced. It is not appropriate for an editor to insert their own opinions or analysis. Forward-looking articles about unreleased products (e.g., movies, games, etc.) require special care to make sure that they are not advertising. In particular: Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place.
