Users by language

I am not a regular user of the English version, as I am focusing more on Humanities and Languages than on Pokémon and future never been celebs. For any urgent communication use the mail-to-user feature or go to my Occitan-language user talk page. Do not be scared, I will even dare answer in English.

Non-COI statement

edit

To make it short, nevertheless, when I write in the wikipedia, I have in mind to provide non-biased information, along with reliable sources. If you find Conflicts of Interest, you may be happy: I am a human being, I am working for a company, and I am also a publisher and an author. I am from a national minority whose existence is negated by the main state it is oppressed by, France. I had to learn my minority language, Occitan, and I am working on the Occitan Wikipèdia more than on any other Wiki project.

Former affiliations:

I am not getting paid for any of my activities on the Wikimedia projects. I am editing whatever page I think is good to improve or create, for a better sharing of human knowledge.

Former French Prime minister Michel Rocard talks about the destruction of the Occitan culture (Source)

57	¶2. (C) Rocard, like former president Valery Giscard d'Estaing
58	(reftel), believes that French history provides the keys for
59	understanding French politics and France's policies.
60	Rocard's point of departure is France's emergence as a
61	nation-state. The history of other European nation-states is
62	that of linguistic communities serving their trade needs.
63	France created itself by destroying five cultures -- Breton,
64	Occitan, Alsatian, Corsican, and Flemish. "We are the only
65	European nation which is the military creation of a
66	non-homogeneous State. This makes France difficult to govern
67	to this day. This explains our difficulty in reforming, our
68	slowness," he said.
