Bonjour Addihockey

I am a new member of wikipedia. I seeks for a bilingual wikimentor (English-French) to help me to understand better all the facets of Wikipedia. A Bilingual wikimentor because my English language is very summary and I am here on English wikipedia to learn better to write the English language. I am a sporting passionate person. Especially the soccer and the Hockey. But more Women's sports this because of my 2 daughters. I thank you for reading my demand of wikimentor. Je suis un nouveau sur wikipedia. Je suis à la recherche d'un parrain bilingue ( bonne maîtrise des langues anglaise et française) mais je ne trouve pas après plusieurs tentatives. Mon français est impeccable mais mon anglais l'est beaucoup moins. Peut-être seriez vous intéresser à me superviser et à me donner des conseils. Prenez le temps de regarder mon profil personnel. J'ai fait quelques petits travaux sur wikipedia depuis le 3 octobre dernier. Vous pourrez les lire sur ma page de discussion.Je vous remercie Bien à vous , Charles --Charlesquebec (talk) 21:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Bonsoir, je vous remercie d'avoir accepter de me parrainer. Good evening, I thank you for having to agree to sponsor me. I understands that you have your studies and your private life. I have a work and a family. We shall do the best for us --Charlesquebec (talk) 00:43, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

merci Addihockey pour ta supervision. Pour la prochaine semaine, j'ai beaucoup de corrections à faire de pages. For the next week, I have many corrections to be made of pages. A)je veux mettre à jour (update in english) les pages sur 3 clubs féminins canadiens: Toutes les pages wikipedia sur les autres clubs canadiens dans la W-League datent de 2008: Hamilton Avalanche, Toronto Lady Lynx, London Gryphons.ces 3 pages sont à refaire B) je veux apprendre comment mettre des photos et des logos. I would like to learn how to put photos and Logos in pages wikipedia. So I shall like changing the logo of a club of soccer in the page Quebec City Amiral SC because it is the former logo Arsenal which appears. The new logo Amiral is in the french page here http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiral_SC_de_Qu%C3%A9bec I have to try repeatedly to make the transfer of the image but something does not work. ce sera tout pour moi cette semaine car mon club les Carabins jouent au soccer vendredi soir et dimanche, En plus une de mes 2 filles commence sa saison de hockey samedi --Charlesquebec (talk) 11:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

3 texts for you

Hello, I have 3 texts to be corrected. If you want to help me in your spare time this weekend or next week:

• Sandbox5 texte terminé ne manque que la correction finale de Addihockey10
• Sandbox6 texte terminé ne manque que la correction finale de Addihockey10
• Sandbox7 texte terminé ne manque que la correction finale de Addihockey10

Merci beaucoup. Thank you for all. I am going to try to change the logo on this page Quebec City Amiral SC for this logo http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:LogoAmiral.gif Bon we pour toi --Charlesquebec (talk) 21:20, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Bonjour Addihockey, une bibliographie ? je ne sais pas comment tu vois mon travail puisque je donne des liens sur chacune des 3 pages: le site web de chacun des 3 club et la page de USL Soccer.com de chacun des 3 club. Il est difficile pour moi de citer des articles de journaux pour chacun des 3 clubs: je n'habite pas cette région du Canada ( le sud de l'Ontario pour les 3 clubs: Hamilton, Toronto et London) c'est très difficile pour moi de lire les journaux locaux de ces 3 villes. De plus le soccer féminin n'est pas suivi par beaucoup de journaux sauf à quelques rares évènements. J'ai plus de facilité pour écrire une bibliographie et des références quand les clubs féminins sont plus près de chez moi où j'ai accès aux journaux locaux des 2 langues ( anglais et français ); cf 2 pages que j'avais travaillé Quebec City Amiral SC et Montreal Stars. Bon we je serai de retour lundi --Charlesquebec (talk) 10:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Transcluded from the RfA

Okay. I'll give you exactly what the community is (or at least should be) looking for.

1. Go to Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list and read up on all the pages in the sections "Should already know", "Content policies", "Copyright", and "Controversy". Also read the first four pages in "Deletion"
2. Go and demonstrate your newfound knowledge by participating in AfD, the various other fDs, and possibly AN/I, AN/3RR, and the Help Desk.
3. Careful on AN/I, as it has the habit of bringing the worst out of people. It feeds on drama and incivility. You can gain a lot of respect and trust by consistently keeping your cool at AN/I. That being said, pick your battles, not even the admins participate in every single issue.
4. You got the vandalism fighting down, but you might also want to be on the lookout for improper usernames and edit warring.
5. As important as 2, 3, and 4 are, the modern RfA will almost always fail if there is no content creation to go along with the vandalism fighting. Do constructive editing: Make an article or two, join a wikiproject or several projects, work on article promotions (GA, FA, and FL), or do a little bit of copy editing. Heck, do all four if you want. Other avenues include Featured Pictures, Spoken Wikipedia, the Signpost ect. Find something that unequivocally adds content and value to the project, and then set out and do it.
6. Follow the RfA nominations of others, whether you vote or not, to see what the community standards are. You can see what is being looked for without throwing your name in the hat.
7. Never, never, never, be afraid to ask for help, advice, or a friendly review by other respected editors. The worst thing they can do is say no, but if they accept, their advice and guideance will be helpful.
8. Don't get yourself blocked. It really hurts your chances. That means avoiding edit wars and vandalism. It's not hard to avoid being blocked, but I figured I'd mention it anyways.
9. Finally, spend at least six months, though preferably nine or twelve months, doing the above before throwing your name in the hat again. If you manage to follow this guideline, plus any other suggestions that get appended to it by others, I can't see why you won't be successful the next time around.

Best of luck, see you around. Sven Manguard _Talk 21:14, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

You know what`s funny? I was just doing that ;) Thanks! --Addihockey10^e-mail 21:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Doing what, reading Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list? Sven Manguard _Talk 21:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I believe I did touch on some of those pages before but some are new. --Addihockey10^e-mail 21:27, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

It's a good reading list. I've read most of it. Also, I just wanted to make sure that you know my oppose !vote was nothing personal. If you look at my recommendations, you'll see that I have somewhat high standards. I do believe though that that is an excellent guideline and that if you follow it, by this time next year you'll be an outstanding candidate. Sven Manguard _Talk 21:32, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

What will also help is adding rationales to your AfD comments. AfD is not a vote; "delete" doesn't mean anything. ("Per above" doesn't mean anything, either.) So basically, without any reason for your comment, it's going to be ignored by the closing admin. See also WP:ATA. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 22:07, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey there Addihockey, I understand that going through 3 RFA's and failing at them all may be a bit tough but if you work in your weaker areas, you could very well pass RFA #4 next year. If you need any help in working in admin or "semi-"admin related areas, give me a ping (I'm not an admin but a regular over at DYK and other places that admins generally work at) I'd also be more than happy to help you our with working on content :) All the best,--White Shadows ^{Your guess is as good as mine} 22:33, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

1 support (and a moral one) and 19 opposes, I really think you should withdraw the RFA. The opposers already said what they had to say. I could also Mentor you if you wish. I was an adminstrator (until ArbCom desysopped me because of some stupid mistake I've done) and a highly respected member of the community. What do you think. Secret ^account 00:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I have closed this RfA per WP:SNOW. Please feel free to reflect on what the participants have written, and consider WP:ER if you wish further comment on your edits.  Frank  |  talk  01:03, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Topic ban

You have just had your third RFA closed as hopeless in a few weeks. I'd like to ask you to voluntarily topic-ban yourself from running for adminship for a period of one year. Continuing to post such RFAs shows a lack of ability to learn from your mistakes, something that is expected of all administrators. We don't have to be perfect, but we do have to be able to recognize our own errors and learn from them. Please indicate whether you agree to this sanction. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done [1]. Thanks for your co-operation. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:01, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Références à un texte / Source, reference

Hello Addihockey, I understands better what you have to try to learn me last week. If you want help me for the references: I have two texts which could have references. If you want to help me during your spare time. thank you Sandbox2 , Sandbox4 They are pages on 2 multisports centers near to my family --Charlesquebec (talk) 17:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Barnstar

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		for suggesting the idea of using voluntary bans as part of the RfA process. Tryptofish (talk) 21:51, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know whether or not the idea will lead anywhere, but, for whatever it's worth, I think that your idea is an excellent one. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:51, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't that Beeblebrox's idea? I'd still give Addi a star for agreeing though... Sven Manguard _Talk 19:48, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I wasn`t the original person that came forward with it, all I really did was make a little page (and I mean little) kind of presenting an idea. --Addihockey10^e-mail 19:54, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, you have the bling now, you might as well flaunt it. That's what bling is for, isn't it? Sven Manguard _Talk 19:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Yep ;) --Addihockey10^e-mail 20:13, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

fr-5?

Cher Addihockey10,

Je viens de regarder votre page utilisateur; j'y vis votre userbox qui se lit « Cet utilisateur parle français à un niveau professionnel. » Je pensais qu'il serait heureux s'il y a un autre utilisateur qui parle bien le français. J'étais sur le point de vous laisser un message quand je vis que quelqu'un vous en avait déjà laissé un. Alors, je regardai la discussion utilisateur de l'autre utilisateur, et je me sentais surpris de votre écriture.

Par exemple, ça c'est plein d'erreurs, qui ne ressemblent pas ceux qu'un locuteur professionnel de français commettrait, et en fait rappellent à ceux que « Google Translate » produise. Veuillez-vous expliquer vos raisons de vous considérer « fr-5 » ? Si vous ne comprenez pas ce que « fr-5 » dénote, permettez-moi d'expliquer : c'est à dire que l'on est un locuteur natif, ou que l'on sait parler français presqu'à un niveau natif. Si j'ai tort en pensant que vous avez évalué mal vos abilités de langage, je m'excuse bien. Sinon, je vous conseille fortement de réviser votre userbox pour refléter votre vrai abilité. Je sais que vous voulez devenir administrateur; sachez qu'il faut qu'un administrateur, et vraiment n'importe qui, soit honnête au sujet de ses abilités. La communauté vaut bien vos contributions, et souhait que vous continuerez de contribuer.

Merci, /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 01:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah oui - je vois que tu dis - je peux parler a un niveau des francophones de mon age - mais j`ai du difficule avec le grammaire francais quand j`ecrit. Aussi, mon ordinateur n`a pas des boutons pour les accents (ou je ne sais pas a utiliser ;) ). Quand-meme - je vais baser le niveau sur mon page d`utiliseateur. Merci! --Addihockey11 (talk) 05:07, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, je comprends, /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 03:40, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Please excuse my conversing in English, but I feel more comfortable using my native language to write. You can download freeware that will allow you to insert accents (for example, when holding the function key.) The rest is just a matter of using a white out pen to mark which keys do what on the keyboard. Good luck. Sven Manguard _Talk 19:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh don`t worry :) Thanks for letting me know about the accents, I`m just learning how to use newer computers (I originally had a tank) and now I have a state-of-the-art Windows 7 laptop ;) so the FN key is new to me. One thing I notice is sometimes I push the wrong button when I`m typing and when I try to put a question mark I get an é, I don`t know what button this is but it`s irritating me. Could someone help? --Addihockey10^e-mail 20:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Username

Why do you think CcC UM (talk · contribs) is an offensive name? Can you add a comment in WP:UAA to clarify? Cheers,  Chzz  ►  03:59, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah, right, found your comment. I think that is a little bit too enthusiastic; it could refer to lots of other things, and we have to assume good faith (until proven otherwise).

I think, probably, that Holidayinncambodia (talk · contribs) wasn't a blatant violation either; I suspect it refers to the (really rather excellent) song, Holiday in Cambodia.

However, I notice that most of your efforts in UAA are excellent, so keep it up. Just remember to assume good faith, and if in doubt, err on the side of caution and either discuss it directly with the user concerned (on their talk page), or hold off until they edit. For such borderline cases, it's best to take a note and check back (next day or something) to see if action is needed.

But, as I say - this is just 'constructive criticism' - keep up the good work. And thanks v much for not only responding, but courteously letting me know. Best,  Chzz  ►  20:13, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA

Hello Addihockey10, and thank you for participating in my RfA, which failed with 20 support votes, 34 oppose votes, and 11 neutral votes. All the feedback was much appreciated, and the concerns that were brought up are surely not falling on deaf ears. I will strive to listen to everyone's feedback in the days, weeks, and months to come, and I hope that I will eventually be able to gain the community's trust and receive the admin tools so I can further benefit this encyclopedia. Happy editing! –Access Denied (talk)

Re: Checkuser

Sorry for the delay. I think a checkuser here would be unnecessary - the email you sent me appears to be an open admission that these accounts are controlled if not by the same person, at least from the same computer, which is all I'll be able to tell with CU anyway. It looks like this passes the duck test to me. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Um, I'm hardly an expert on this, but the situation Ronhjones describes sounds to me like exactly the situation when we do grant an IP exemption: a clearly good user caught inadvertently in the middle of a rangeblock that can't be lifted. I'm going to ask a checkuser to take a look at this. Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Escudo-udlap.svg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Escudo-udlap.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 03:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

UAA

Hey, thanks for your continued efforts there. We need dedicated editors keeping an eye out for bad usernames. That said, unless the name is grossly offensive, please don't report them until they edit. We can't tell the intent of a seemingly promotional username until they've made an edit and, if they never do edit (which happens a lot), it's just a waste of time. Btw, wrt your editnotice, you might want to read WP:BEANS. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:03, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Garth Celyn or Abergwyngregyn

Hi, thanks for communicating about your revert. You changed Abergwyngregyn, which is known and documented as the site of a royal hall, back to Garth Celyn, which isn't though it is claimed as such by a local organization. In fact I'd think it better to remove the entire sentence "It was a menacing finger pointing directly to Garth Celyn, the headquarters of the Prince of Wales prior to the Edwardian conquest of 1283, on the opposite shore." as it appears to be original research. But in any case, could I trouble you to remove the vandalism warning from my talk page? Civis Romanus (talk) 23:28, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xffgs

Since you seem to know how these work, if the checkuser request is removed, would this go faster? because (s)he is just making more socks as this goes on. JDDJS (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

If the checkuser request is removed, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll go quicker. Also, if we do a CU we could potentially find a "sleeper" account (ones you may have missed on the Sockpuppet investigation). I'd say leave it as it is right now, there doesn't seem to be CUs online at the moment. --Addihockey10^e-mail 23:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
