J'ai nominé votre article À hauteur d'homme pour la version anglaise de 'Lumière sur' [[1]] D'Iberville 04:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Psychology Wiki

Hi I see that you are interested in contributing to psychology articles on Wikipedia. Just to let you know that we are working on an academic psychology wiki for our professional community and their users. This can be found at: [2] We would really welcome your input and ask you to join us. We already have over 7000 pages up. Orientation, help and community portal pages are available off of this link. Please pass the good news onto anyone you feel would be interested. One goal of our site is to develop it as a multilingual professional resource and your language skills would be very welcome. Many of the articles imported from Wikipedia have been translated into french and it would be helpful if you could import the good quality ones to their language linkLifeartist 16:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that the Psychology wiki is going well, but we are keen to attract more contributors. Have a look at the newly designed main page and see what you think :) Mostly Zen 02:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Dreyfus' moustache

Hi, I just noticed that the image of Dreyfus on the Dreyfus Affair article has, until today, mentioned that he was wearing a moustache. I think that's hilarious, since it's clearly irrelevant, and the fact that it's been there since June 2004.[3] Did you mean to be funny? Because that might be the longest lasting joke in wikipedia history. =) -- TheMightyQuill 12:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Picard Song

You created a talk page for an article that doesn't exist. That meets Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.

If you want a second hearing on whether The Picard Song is notable, just recreate the article and try to address the notability concerns in it. Aplomado ^talk 23:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

This is NOT a personal attack!

"He is a Quebecer, a citizen of the Americas and citizen of the world."

He's everything but a citizen of Canada.

A separatist calling himself a world citizen? Ha, that's funny. (Unsigned post by Denis C. 00:41 EST, 29 July 2006)

Happy Birthday!

Just a happy Birthday message to you, Liberlogos/Archive 3, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

Availibility of "À Hauteur d'homme"

Hello, I've noticed that you made several significant contributions to the À Hauteur d'homme article. Do you know if the DVD has English subtitles? I live in the United States and would like to view this film. Thanks. --Holdek ^(talk) 04:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your response! I appreciate you checking into that for me. Please update me with anything you hear. I too am interested in international culture, as well as politics and film. I enjoyed The Perfect Candidate and The War Room. À Hauteur d'homme sounds like a fascinating movie. --Holdek ^(talk) 01:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Dates

Yes, the reference you give ("Where a date contains day, month, and year — 25 March, 2004 — or day and month — February 10 — a link will permit the date preferences of the reader to operate. Day, month, and year must all be linked for the preference to work correctly.") is one I agree with, and I have linked many thousands of dates in these formats, see for example this diff from last night. However Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context means that entities such as bare years or other date fragments (e.g. "Monday", "1994", "May", "June 2015" should rarely be linked (although there are dissenters). (In the infancy of WP all these entities were linked as there was a plan to extract meta - data from them. Similarly there is a request to the mediawiki developers to provide a different way of allowing date prefernces to work than linking.) Rgs, Rich Farmbrough 09:12 1 September 2006 (GMT).

Re:Balbelbox

45px isn't enough for 3-letter codes like nap-2 (which is what I use), so it had 55px.. but that implied it wasnt aligned with the others, so i though it was better to use a standard width for all boxes.. like the ones we have on it.wiki. So I thought 60px could be a good standard.

No problem, I found another solution.. i reduced the font size of nap boxes.. and gave 45px width to them as well.. changing all others to 60px would have been a huge work. ;) --Twilight 10:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

La Petite Vie

(*laugh*) No worries on the language...I generally think it's better to communicate in English on en: talk pages, if only because there are times when a third party has to review talk page discussions for one reason or another (as an administrator, I've certainly had to do that a few times), and it's not safe to assume that they would have sufficient knowledge of another language. Not that I think there's likely to be a major dispute in this case, but considering some of the amazingly trivial things I've seen some people dispute, I just don't like to assume anything. At any rate, I've commented the Guinness claim out for now; I know for a fact that I saw it in more than one newspaper a few years ago, but I can't remember which newspapers, and I'm having about as much luck as anybody else finding a reference for it now.

Anglophobia

I don't know where you get the idea that only information that is contentious or likely to be challenged needs a citation? This is not what the verifiability policy states at all, and it is not what the common knowledge guideline states either. In fact the policy states in the very first sentence The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that any reader must be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, because Wikipedia does not publish original thought or original research. So verifiability is the threshold for inclusion, if it's not verified the least you can expect is a request for verification. There is no requirement for editors to request verification, it is acceptable for editors to remove any unverified material without further comment, here's what the policy says Any edit lacking a source may be removed, but some editors may object if you remove material without giving people a chance to provide references. If you want to request a source for an unsourced statement, a good idea is to move it to the talk page. Alternatively, you may tag the sentence by adding the {{fact}} template, or tag the article by adding {{not verified}} or {{unsourced}}. It's worth checking out the reliable sources guideline, the neutrality policy and the no original research policy. Note that the verifiability polict is non negotiable. I also have some concernes with the neutrality of the section on Anglophobia in Canada, you do not give any other point of view. Alun 08:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry if I got a bit angry over at anglophobia. I can see where the misunderstanding came from and it was a genuine attempt by you to contribute something useful. So no hard feelings on my part and appologies for getting a bit hot under the collar. Alun 04:56, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Quebec bashing

L'article absolument débile de Jan Wong s'inscrit parfaitement dans la tendance au Quebec bashing. Le phénomène repose essentiellement sur une thèse voulant que les méchants nationalistes québécois, contrairement à l'ensemble des Canadiens, n'épousent pas les valeurs de la liberté individuelle, du multiculturalisme etc. Un peu comme on a fabriqué l'image du méchant terroriste islamiste, fondamentaliste, arabe, anti-américain, prêt à commettre les pires atrocités au nom de ses croyances rétrogrades, les adversaires de l'indépendance politique du Québec tentent, maladroitement, de fabriquer l'image d'un nationaliste québécois, blanc, de sang français, réactionnaire, raciste, xénophobe etc. C'est de la pure manipulation de l'opinion publique à des fins politiciennes.

Ça fait un bon moment que je n'ai pas touché à l'article Quebec bashing dans ma page de brouillons anglaise. La prochaine étape logique serait de construire une chronologie des événements. Non pas qu'il faille dater toutes les publications d'articles (quoique ce serait très encylopédique de le faire) mais plutôt il faudrait trouver tous les articles/livres/événements qui traitent directement du sujet. Y'a évidemment les trois Livres noirs de Normand Lester qui existent en réaction au Québec bashing et aux Minutes du patrimoine, mais il y a aussi L'obsession ethnique de Guy Bouthillier, de bons articles de presse par Michel David, Ray Conlogue et d'autres, la poursuite en diffamation des ex-premiers ministres Jacques Parizeau et Lucien Bouchard contre Richard Lafferty, l'Affaire Richler-Delisle et l'Affaire Michaud. Je travaille justement sur ces trois dernières histoires (Lafferty, Richler-Delisle et Michaud) dans ma page de brouillons française.

Pour ce qui est d'une date de prochaine rencontre, je propose vendredi le 6 octobre au Touski. -- Mathieugp 04:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Oui, je suis d'accord pour qu'on se rencontre. Le 6 octobre? Au Touski? -- Mathieugp 03:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

J'ai bien peur de ne pas avoir vraiment le temps pour ça dans l'immédiat. De toute façon, je crois qu'il nous faut travailler calmement afin de trouver le ton neutre qui en fera un article dont le contenu sera incontestable, plutôt que de bouger trop vite et de faire des erreurs. Comme je te l'écrivais, il serait bon de commencer par construire une chronologie des événements. Dire, dans une toute petite phrase simple que X est arrivé le jour A, dans le mois de B de l'année Y est très très utile. Les données sont facilement vérifiables, incontestables sur le plan des faits (présumant que l'on ne fasse pas erreur). Il deviendrait bien évident que 1) le phénomène est réel et 2) que ceux qui disent que la presse du Canada anglais produit un flot continu d'articles salissant l'ensemble de la société québécoise au nom de la lutte anti-séparatiste n'exagèrent pas, au contraire. Il serait intéressant aussi de faire un peu de la recherche sur la dimension universelle du phénomène. Nous ne sommes certainement pas le premier groupe national minoritaire à se faire accuser d'inférorité morale et autre par une presse nationaleuse en mode de combat.

Pour un exemple de l'avantage certain de la chronologie, je te suggère la lecture de mon brouillon sur l'affaire Michaud. C'est en faisant la chrono des événements que j'ai été capable d'organiser le contenu de façon à le rendre compréhensif. En un coup d'oeil, on voit tout de suite de quoi il s'agit.

-- Mathieugp 04:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't notice that I didn't sign. T REX_speak 01:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Liberlogos, comme je te l'ai dit sur ta page de discussion du côté francophone, je suis prêt à contribuer à la traduction de Quebec-bashing, qui semble menacé en anglais. Comme ça, le gros travail de documentation qui a été fait ne sera pas perdu. Je pourrais possiblement établir une page de brouillon dans mon userspace sur fr. Qu'en penses-tu? Bouchecl 18:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Je viens d'établir un espace de travail pour retravailler l'article en français. Tu peux voir l'état des travaux ici: fr:Utilisateur:Bouchecl/Brouillons/Quebec bashing

Tu peux certainement contribuer à mon brouillon dans la mesure de tes disponibilités. Je viens de traduire la section Themes, et je vais poursuivre, une section à la fois, en partant du début. Par ailleurs, je ne sais pas si la section Context vaut vraiment la peine d'être traduite. Elle mériterait probablement une récriture (je ne crois pas qu'il soit nécessaire de remonter aux Plaines d'Abraham pour la version française...). Je vais par ailleurs rafraîchir mon brouillon en tenant compte des diff que tu as publié depuis midi... Bouchecl 20:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Questions que je soulève:

• Je sais que certains journalistes ont écrit qu'il y avait des exemples faisant du "Quebec bashing" mais que c'était marginal, non généralisé. Je crois me souvenir d'André Pratte et Chantal Hébert, cette dernière citant Graham Fraser comme contre-exemple (avec raison) je crois, et citant d'autres. J'aimerais qu'on parle du débat sur l'ampleur du phénomène. En as-tu des exemples?

• Chantal Hébert: trouvé; toutefois, dans cet article de 2001, elle cite ironiquement comme autre exemple nul autre qu'Edward Greenspon

Chronologie. On en est là. La nouveauté avec le cas Wong c'est que des fédéralistes et mêmes des anglophones fédéralistes (Jack Jedwab) dénoncent miss Wong. Si on mettait une date à côté de chaque article 1) DE Québec bashing et 2) traitant DU Québec bashing, on pourrait faire une vrai analyse de toues les données trouvées. Tu as déjà trouvé plus de 60 articles, ce qui est impressionant et je t'en félicite. Il faut maintenant les mettre en ordre. -- 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• As-tu entendu parlé de Canadiens anglais (hors-Québec; des anglo-Québécois sont cités), même de gens hors-Canada, dénonçant Wong (à part les politiciens) ou Kay? Richler (autre que Conlogue)? Dénonçant d'autres? Que dit Graham Fraser de tout ça?

Je ne sais pas. Il faudrait faire une recherche. -- 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Peut-on faire une section clairement d'analyse, ou toute tentative serait-elle frappé d'accusation "d'original research"? Des exemples d'articles réfutant des mytes existent pourtant sur Wikipedia. J'ai fait une section "Response" qui se limite aux exemples de réponses faites. Peut-on réfuter autrement? Exemple: en 2005, le B'nai Brith a recensé 544 incidents antisémites en Ontario et 133 au Québec. [4] Doit-on absolument avoir quelqu'un qui a cité ces chiffres pour mentionner ces chiffres?

C'est une bonne question. Je pense qu'avant de s'aventurer là-dedans, il faut d'abord régler 1) le problème des termes qui posent problème (strong racism au lieu de high racism serait un début) et 2) le problème de neutralité de l'article dans sa forme actuelle. Malgré que je sois tout à fait d'accord avec toi, il ne faut pas écrire par exemple "His dark portrayal of Quebec got coverage notably in places where the voice given to French-speaking Quebecers was considerably smaller than that of English Canadians, especially in the United States and Great Britain, making rebuttal difficult." Le narrateur neutre doit s'abstenir de qualifier le "protrayal" d'être "dark" en plus d'éviter d'y aller de sa propre analyse, surtout quand il ne présente aucun fait pour supporter sa thèse. Ici, la conclusion "making rebuttal difficult" apparaît clairement comme une thèse de l'auteur de l'article -- Mathieugp 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Doit-on inclure des exemples hors-média, comme les exemples de députés?

Je pense que oui. Il nous faut, éventuellement, faire un article séparé avec les gros cas (Richler-Delisle, Michaud, Wong) et traiter un peu plus à fon de la thèse de Maryse Potvin. J'ai trouvé ça en passant : http://www.unites.uqam.ca/sqsp/revPolSo/vol18_2/vol18_no2_potvin.htm mais il faudrait idéalement se rendre à la Grande Bibliothèque, lire l'article et le citer plus à fond. Une thèse qui dit que les thèmes et arguments des bashers sont typiques des discours racistes, c'est plus que ce qu'on a besoin pour faire comprendre au gens qu'il y a un problème avec tous ces articles. Je me rappelle aussi un expert en relation internationales quelconque cité dans Vigile et qui disait que la politique internationale du Canada se résumait à nuire à tout ce que le Québec fait. -- Mathieugp 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• On a excisé des sections comme celle de Lafferty parce que "personne n'a entendu parlé d'eux", ils sont "obscure". Quoi répliquer?

Il faut développer [Utilisateur:Mathieugp/Brouillons/Lafferty, Harwood & Partners c. Parizeau ça], et le traduire en anglais. :-) -- Mathieugp 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• On me met la notoriété de Ray Conlogue en doute. Quoi répliquer?

Tu as très bien répliquer à ce sophiste de première classe je trouve. C'est exactement ça qu'il faut répondre à ces gens-là pour que les autres voient très bien que tes arguments sont raisonnés et honnête alors que lui ne fait que t'accuser et accuser tous les méchants nationalistes d'être des suppots de Satan sans aucune preuve aucune. -- Mathieugp 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment prouver la prévalence de l'expression "Quebec bashing", puisque Google nous a été de peu d'aide?

Google nous a aidé. J'ai écrit: "If you do an advanced search and ask for the exact phrase of Quebec bashing alone, you still get 650 hits." et "... yes the issue is badly, badly covered in the very English media doing the bashing, but there are nevertheless some good articles ..." Évidemment que le terme n'apparaît pas des millions de fois DANS LES MÉDIAS QUI FONT EUX-MÊMES DU BASHING. Les gens qui se battent contre l'article n'ont pas d'argument sauf celui qu'il est effectivement pas 100% neutre et c'est là-dessus qu'il faut travailler. -- Mathieugp 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• On met la neutralité du titre en doute, à répétition. Pourtant, c'est une expression et l'article le mentionne. Il ne qualifie pas de "bashing", il rapporte l'expression "bashing". Quoi répliquer (à part ce que je viens juste d'écrire, ce qui ne semble pas fonctionner)? --Liberlogos 06:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Stern removed for his remarks

About Stern being removed for his remarks: of course, this seems obvious, but we should be wary of the obvious. I have read that he was removed with stations denying it had anything to do with the remarks. It may sound fishy, but if it's what's officially said, it can't be bypassed (it can be noted that it was doubted). I would like your sources for saying it was overtly the reason, which is that the section implies now. Also, I respect your attemps to do what in your own opinion is correct and I thank you for it. I hope we find some common ground. --Liberlogos 23:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, would you please point out any problem you find with the Ray Conologue quote translation at Quebec bashing#Quotes? I will underline that the quote comes from an interview from La Presse published in French, so this is not a "double" translation (English to French to English). I wish to listen. --Liberlogos 00:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• I don't have any firm references for Stern; just my own recollections; should likely be rephrased ... though I still don't see the need for Stern; he's completely oblivious to Canadian politics, and he'll shoot off his mouth on any subject - that's what a shock jock does. His words aren't proof of anything, except that he's a shock jock.

• As for Conologue, as in English journalist, I assume that his quote was in English. If not, then fine ... though I've never heard of the guy, and I don't see why his comments would have any relevence to a discussion.

• You've returned the phrase I removed "Quebec is a North American society ..."; the words you use are fine in themselves; but no one would use that structure ... it just doesn't parse. It needs to be written in standard English. There are many, many, examples of this; virtually every sentance is riddled with odd constructs that bend the meaning ... such as "Past radio personality ..." What does that mean? Former radio personality maybe? Nfitz 02:33, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Stern: I see the point that the presence is the... less non-debatable of the present examples, but the thing still happened and was deemed anti-Quebec by a substantial number of people. The article stresses heavily ("allegedly" is used each time the expression "Quebec bashing" is mentioned, quotation marks are used, etc.); in other words, it's about things (in the media) that happened and were deemed anti-Quebec by a substantial number of people. How is Stern's thing opposite to the nature of the article then?
• Ray Conlogue: The article was in French, so I am speaking of the original language of publication, and he speaks French, and drawing from his own words, I believe it would be his type to speak the local majority language in the given land or the language of the journalist that welcomes his opinion, by respect. Conlogue was referenced twice on the deletion debate and I have referenced him on the article and he's cited in The Black Book of English Canada (Conlogue did the English translation). He is a former Quebec correspondent and former cultural correspondent for The Globe and Mail.
• "Quebec is a North American society ...": Let's change the words for a moment for "Virginia is an American society". Correct. Then what makes it wrong in your example? "North American" being two words? The similar construction "South American country" get word for word, as an expression, dictionary entries here, here, here and here.
• I changed "past" to "former" to be sure. But golly, I heard that numerous times, and Google searches for such things as "Past President" appear to confirm this (9,990,000 hits, and they're not all "in the 'past, President' John Smith..."). If you have other examples, bring them up. --Liberlogos 04:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Stern shoots his mouth off about any subject, offending everyone (that's his job); to take Stern's comments about Quebec seriously enough to use in an article documenting the phenomena of "Quebec Bashing" only serves to demonstrate that the phenomena isn't real, if that's one of the best examples that can be found. As far as language goes, you seem to be under the impression that the English language is controlled by rules. It isn't; there are no rules; just precedence and usage. You can't take the use of "Past president" and apply it to "past radio personality" ... googling the phrase, I find a total of 6 hits for "past radio personality", 4 of them seem to eminate from the same badly-written New Jersey press release, but thousands for "former radio personality". And you certainly can't use the parallel of "South American country" to "North American society" ... it just doesn't sound right - and the word isn't used that way.. The question is, what is Quebec. Quebec is a province - by definition, any province is a society. There are probably many ways to phrase this, but "Quebec is a Canadian province" is a simple 5 words, that allow you to eliminate much of that sentance, as it implicity includes much of what is written.

Language query

Hi Benoît! How are things? Though I've been pretty busy in the wake my double move, I still can find some time to demystify or resolve any language queries you might have. So, let'er rip! --CJ Withers 06:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Suspected sock puppets

J'y vais d'instinct, mais je pense bien que c'est la même personne. Je commence à avoir le sixième sens aiguisé pour le/la détecter depuis le temps... :-) La dernière fois que j'ai fait quelque chose pour me plaindre de lui/elle, je pense que je suis allé voir un admin pour lui demander de vérifier l'adresse IP de la personne. Par contre, la dernière fois ce sont d'autres utilisateurs qui se sont plaints avant moi. Je sais pas vraiment comment fonctionne le système dans les cas de Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. Veux-tu t'en occuper?

En passant, je ne veux pas te faire peur avec ça, mais je viens de réaliser que ton adresse physique est écrite dans ta page perso. Étant donné qu'on ne sait pas jusqu'à quel point la haine anti-québécoise est susceptible de faire dérailler quelqu'un qui souffre peut-être de problèmes psychologiques, je pense qu'il est bon de rester prudent avec ça si tu vois ce que je veux dire. -- Mathieugp 05:08, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Quebec bashing

I'll agree to your wording for the opening if the goal is to show that the outrage is higher in Quebec than in English Canada. As to the Richler removal, I'll admit that it isn't without problems, but that we simply can't have an in depth explanation of every example of Quebec bashing, complete with quotes, counter arguments, consequences, time lines etc... without the article becoming far too long. As stated before the article already exceeds length suggestions, and numerous topics haven't even been touched yet. I'm not sure that the topic deserves its own article either, although I suppose it could be accepted should we find enough material, and someone was willing to maintain it. Perhaps we could try to add more material to the Richler biography in order to balance that article? Peregrine981 18:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Ricky Gervais, La Job, Canadian vs Québécois

Hello Benoit,

Using "Québécois" to describe Ricky's Gervais ascent is incorrect for many reasons.

First, when the ancestors of today's Franco Ontarians settled areas north of the Great Lakes in the 19th century they were French Canadians. These people where never Québécois in today's sense of the word. Québécois and Franco Ontarions are both culturally descended from French Canadians.

Second, when Gervais's father elected to live in the United Kingdom, the term "québécois" meant in French (it was never used in English) that someone came from the province of Québec, that's all. Even nationalists referred to themselves in those days as French Canadians, took great pride in being Canadian, and considered themselves true canadians, as opposed to upstart the loyalists in Ontario. Read the works of Lionel Groulx and see how often he mentions French Canada. Read books from the 1930s or 1940s.

Third, "French Canada" is a usage you don't like. It is however factual and indicates all the areas in Canada where French is spoken as a native language: Québec, Acadie (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia), Ontario (where my grand mother was born), and Manitoba. There are also small French Canadian towns in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Fourth, proper encylopedic usage is to always indicate the country of origin (check in your Larousse the entries for Gilles Vignault and René Lévesque). The country is still Canada, not Québec.

Fifth, French Canadian is not "un usage ancien". I was born in 1965, I used the term in grade school, in high school, in CEGEP, and university. I may be entering middle ages, but I wasn't born in the middle ages ;-)

Finally, Wikipedia is not a political platform. You should present reality as it and as it was, not as you wish it to be. While it's fair to say Ricky Gervais has living Québécois relatives, like it or not he will always be of French Canadian ancestry, never Québecois. Vincent 04:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Mordecai Richler

Your edits are POV. I admit Richler's book was also POV, but he wasn't writing for Wikipedia, you are. I will revert to more neutral wording. If you wish to revert, please provide citations where he made errors of fact. Also try to use neutral words.

The fact is Québecois really are racists. Oh, not very racist, but a little. We don't wear sheets and burn crosses, but we don't like strangers that much and here's why: it's called human nature. The world over, people of a different colour or of a different culture face distrust. In Japan I'm a gaijin, in China I'm a gwailo. I remember bringing my (Japanese) girlfriend over for a visit and kids would stare at her and call her Chinese in a low voice. Why stare? Why call her anything?

It's because we're people and we're just like everyone else in the world. However we are also educated and enlightened and we know racism is a wrong. We improve ourselves, but we should not delude ourselves that we are perfect; we must listen to people who are hurt by the separatist cause.

We have learned to build institutions and laws that keep racism and hate in check. Free speech is one of these institutions. Richler was exercising his right to free speech. If you say he lied about something, please provide citations and refute his alleged lies and alleged villainies. I've been in his shoes, my sympathies are with him.

Hightraffic

reference

These templates routinely build up, and after a certain timespan really do not offer any use. They're not intended to list every article ever linked/mentioned by other websites or media - the utility of them is to make editors aware of possible vandalism spikes. I have kept the tags on those articles which have actually been recently mentioned. It's something I do every now and again - it turns Category:Articles linked from high traffic sites from a massive list not not much use into one that can be easily used to watch for vandalism.

Re:André Pratte

"For a clear-eyed vision of Quebec" is the official name for "Pour un Québec lucide" (see here on the official website) and on Wikipedia, we use official English names when available. But *why* wouldn't "separatists" sign a document titled in English?? And must I remind people that not only so-called "separatists" signed the manifesto, and that it went against the left-wing opinions of the majority of "separatists"? And why do you use that biased term "separatists"? --Liberlogos 10:08, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Ah, interesting. Good link. True, perhaps not all Sepratists - but not exactly Federalists ... but valid points. Should edit my changes as appropriate then! Nfitz 13:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Your welcome. There's no reason why "separatists" would not sign a document with an English title also. Also, notorious anti-"separatist" federalists signed the manifesto; yes, they were "exactly" federalists. This is the first time I've seen Pour un Québec lucide specifically associated to "separatists". Please do not use the "separatist" word. "Separatist, word of rupture used in English, only while grinding one's teeth and to put an end to any discussion." - René Lévesque, 1968 (René Lévesque: Mot à mot, Éditions Stantké, p.314) --Liberlogos 13:24, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Well I can't say I'd ever heard of the document before ... I haven't paid much attention to local politics for a while, and it certainly didn't get much national coverage. Given that the only author I had heard of, is a well-known separatist (and traitor and liar as far as I concerned, given how he was a Minister of the Crown when he was plotting), then you can see how I would assume that it was a separatist manifesto - needless to say I didn't read it; though I am certainly interested to, especially if there is an English copy - I find my French isn't good enough to fully comphrenend the nuances of very carefully worded political discussions in French; anyway forgive me my assumption. Nothing wrong with the word "Separatist" in English - if one is one, then one is one. Quotes from 40 years ago aren't relevent, and René was the one to make it okay to be a Separtist in the 1970s.

It wasn't meant as such. I had only a minute or so to get the edit in, but felt that something along these lines should be there. I know it was POV, which is why I noted the edit summary that someone needs to soften what I just added. Soften, not delete! Nfitz 16:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bow tie

Hi,

You may have an interest, since I saw your name in the history list of the Bow tie article: There's a separate article, List of bow tie wearers and an admin is suggesting deleting it. When I looked into the Bow tie page, I found there's already a list there. I don't have an opinion on which list should remain, but one really should go. I'd appreciate your advice on the Talk:Bow tie page, if you're interested and have the time.Noroton 00:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you said (A month ago, I've been on a sort of extended vacation, sorry for not responding sooner) that the quote on my page saddened you? Any specific reasoning?

Anglo-Quebecer

Sure! Anglo-Quebecer is perfectly fine. However, keep in mind what I call "mental shortcuts" that people make in Québec and Canada when referring to identity. Using "French" instead of "French Canadian" (int'l) or "francophone Quebecer" and, likewise, "English" instead of "English Canadian" (jeez, it already sounds redundant, doesn't it?) or "Anglo(phone)-Canadian" demonstrate poor cognitive and verbal skills.

Compare how "Franco-Canadian" doesn't mean that the person speaks French whereas "Francophone Canadian" does. "Anglo-Quebecer" evokes a dying breed of English-only folks left after the exodus of the 70's. Also, remember that true anglophones (and not Stats Canada's definition of who calls themselves -phones) are fewer in number than allophones.

Also, don't forget that the XXXo- prefix is usually used for origin, not (main) languages spoken: Franco-Canadian, Franco-American, etc. "Anglo-Quebecer" is just that, someone of English descent (and, yeah, of Scots, Irish, Welsh, Manx, if you must). For example, I'm an English-speaker living in Quebec but despite the fact that English has been the maternal language of my father and his father and all the way back down the male line for over 1000 years, I will never be an Anglo-Quebecer and not because I'm fluent in French. Identity issues are such a pain!!

And don't worry about being late responding! We're not talking life or death here!!!!! ;-) CJ Withers 03:32, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Refonte des articles sur l'indépendance du Québec

• Je suis d'accord pour la refonte. J'ai déjà commencé ça là-dessus le 5 octobre : fr:Utilisateur:Mathieugp/Brouillons/Histoire du mouvement indépendantiste québécois. Je pensais faire une bibliographie la plus complète possible sur le sujet. Je t'invite à inscrire des entrées au bas de l'article dans la section Bibliographie justement.
• Je crois qu'il faut réduire la section "History" du présent article Quebec sovereignty movement et travailler à refondre l'article qui traite proprement de l'histoire, soit pour l'instant History of the Quebec sovereignty movement/
• Je crois qu'il est préférable de nommer l'article Quebec independence movement ou peut-être juste Quebec independence. Mais puisque dans notre cas la structure de l'article montre très bien que nous traitons du mouvement et non simplement de l'idée ou du concept je préconise le premier nom. Des gens très obstinés ont luttés pour qu'une redirection se fasse de independence vers sovereignty et non l'inverse. C'est mon opinion depuis le commencement, comme tu pourras le voir dans les diverses pages de discussion, que le mouvement souverainiste de Lévesque ne doit pas être amalgamé au mouvement indépendantiste dans son ensemble. Je crois que c'est ton opinion aussi, toi qui connais le RIN et Bourgault.
• Ton "hypothèse" comme tu l'appelles se tient. C'est plus où moins ça que j'ai en tête moi itou.

• J'ai aussi (re)commencé fr:Utilisateur:Mathieugp/Brouillons/Nationalisme québécois et fr:Utilisateur:Mathieugp/Brouillons/Décolonisation du Québec. Le deuxième article est au stade du squelette. En gros, je vais passer en revue ce qui a été écrit sur le cas de la décolonisation du Québec au moment de la première vague de la fin du 18ième et de la deuxième vague plus proche de nous.

• Sur un autre sujet, l'intro du livre La Renaissance de l'hébreu. Le rêve traversé par Éliézer Ben Yéhouda.... que je viens d'acheter débute par un texte d'introduction intitulé La psychose inversée écrit par le traducteur Gérard Haddad qui est psychanalyste de formation. Le lecture t'intéressera je pense. Il fait régulièrement référence à Freud et à un autre que je ne connaissais pas, Lacan. J'ai déjà promis de prêter le livre à mon ami François, mais c'est un grand lecteur alors il me sera revenu rapidement et je te le passerai. -- Mathieugp 16:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Je suis d'accord pour un découpage chronologique bien sûr. Je pense qu'il est acceptable de faire commencer le mouvement indépendantiste contemporain avec l'Alliance laurentienne de 1957. Entre la fin de la guerre et 1957, je pense qu'il n'y a rien d'intéressant, mais je pourrais me tromper. Cependant, la souveraineté-association et l'utilisation du mot souveraineté date de 1968. Le RIN ne s'est pas dissout pour le PQ. Le RIN s'est dissout à défaut d'une entente avec le PQ. Bourgault espérait réaliser l'union de toutes les factions indépendantistes avant l'entrée en scène de Lévesque. Je pense qu'il est important de bien nommer les choses. Aussi, je pense qu'ultimement, oui, il nous faudra un article sur la République ultramontaine de Tardivel, la République corporatiste de l'Alliance laurentienne, la République des travailleurs du FLQ etc. Soit nous faisons un travail encyclopédique, soit nous contribuons ailleurs que dans Wikipédia. ;-) -- Mathieugp 01:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Arms = armes

Your quandry on what the meaning of "arms" (it's collective in the plural) and "right" in an early-mid 19th century text.

First, the basic meanings of words in English and how they collocate can be strikingly different from even 150 years ago. For that reason, 19th century novels such as those by Jane Austen can be almost incomprehensible despite how we can recognize almost all of the words.

As for your document, "right" is the problematic word coupled with "arms", a term which was used more often in military situations. It's used this way in Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms". Think "put down your weapon" vs. "lay down your arms". The latter sounds historically accurate, doesn't it? On the other hand, "right" here simply means "appropriate" and is often found as "rightful". In French, "right" here should be translated as "bon" or "de droit", thus making the phrase "bonnes armes" or "armes de droit"; if "légitime" was used in such a context 150 years ago, then that's what should be used. However, since "right" and not "rightful" was used, you should stick with "bonnes" or "de droit".

I checked and found that "rightful arms" is common when referring to the right to bear arms.

Because of the "right" being next to "arms" we get what G. Leech calls a "ghost meaning", i.e. the meaning of "right arm" as an independent lexical unit is so strong that it prevents us from clearly distinguishing the main sense. The same situation happens with "Holy Ghost", an alternative for "Holy Spirit"; we can't help but think of "phantom" as the ghost meaning instead of the third and final prong of the Holy Trinity.

The modern meaning would be "legitimate use of force" (notice how vague or wide it can be interpreted). Though, stick with "bonnes armes"/"armes de droit" in French. CJ Withers 20:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

"Propre" is fine. I had thought of it first but I shied away from it because the connotations don't line up. "Propre" definitely conveys "to us", "own" and "appropriate". CJ Withers 21:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

What is vs. What ought to be

Every single one of the examples you listed shows that Wikipedia is full of editors who prefer a POV "What ought to be" to a factual "What is". Does that make it right?

My preference is writing "Canadian", but I recognize that this could also be POV so I add "Québécois". On the other hand, if an article already clearly and prominently indicated Canadian nationality in a some other way (e.g. Joe Bleau is a prominent Québécois nationalist born in that Canadian province) then I wouldn't change it.

I'm Canadian and I limit myself to correcting Canadian instances of this problem, though I would support similar solutions in other articles. Which raises interesting issues.

• Clearly OK: African American and Italian American are fine (by my criteria) and if an article said Québécois Canadian I wouldn't change it.

• More interesting: I'd say (if I were participating in those debates) Sean Connery is British (Scottish);

• Bono is Irish ;
• But Bobby Sands? He was from Northern Ireland but he was Irish, not British, because the UK is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and there's no such thing as a "United Kingdomer".

• Still more interesting: The Tibetan singer. Unlike Hong Kong, Manchuria, and Inner Mongolia, the international community has not completely accepted that Tibet is part of China. A hot potato.

• Extremely interesting: Mohawk, Inuits, and other members of the First Nations also present a very interesting facet of the problem and I admit I haven't thought that one through. But here the problem is that we have treaties with the First Nations, and we've always had them. Thus we implictly agree to a separate national status. I don't know what kind of citizenship Indians have or what kind of travel document they use.

Political accuracy (never mind political correctness!) can get very complicated, non?

Activity on Talk:Mordecai Richler

As an experienced Wikipedia user with an interest in the topic, would you be kind enough to look into the recent activity on the Talk:Mordecai Richler page? My claim is that Lance made a threat to wholesale delete a section of the article, attempting to hold us hostage to accomplish a goal of his (which I sympathize with though I have not said so), and then he posted to the Talk page the complete text of a copyrighted magazine article and reverted it several times when an editor and I removed it. I think he is relatively new, and hope that a word or two may have a calming effect. Hu 00:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

More perspectives needed

Hi, Liberlogos. We had contact briefly a year or two ago when you explained why many find the word "separatist" offensive. There is a rather influential blog where the question of nationhood and sovereignty has come up, and I think it could use your perspective. Would you consider reading the post and comments? If you are moved to, I am sure you could add a lot to the discussion.

Scotland, Independence and Jack McConnell

Of course I would be more than happy to answer any questions you would have about the movement - we're riding on a bit of a wave right now, the SNP is up in the polls, the issue of independence is at the top of the political agenda, and with the Labour party seemingly running scared, the likes of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have seen it fit to turn their guns on Alex Salmond and the rest of the party [5]. It is however going to be a long hard winter before the Scottish Parliament elections in May, with the establishment knowing that usual fear tactic ('divorce is an expensive business') have worked in the past. It is, though, conforting to know that the debate has put the government on the back foot, and for really the first time they are being asked difficult questions, for which they don't seem to have the answers. The inversion of the question, ie what are the benefits of Scotland ---not--- being independent has been particularly effective. We're also creating ripples around the globe, with the Washington Post [6] and Le Monde [7] seeing i fit to carry articles on the subject.

As for Mr McConnell, he has said over the last week or so, with the 5th anniversary of him becoming First Mnister, that the biggest achievements of his administration were the smoking ban (proposed at first by an SNP MSP, the reduction in NHS waiting times, and the creation of a link between Scotland and Malawi. Exciting stuff really. Although I am biased, I cannot be more serious in saying he has a serious ambtion bypass.

And for Quebec? I just hope we get any referndum right first time, after the experiences you guys have had. The idea of losing not one, but two referenda fills my heart with dread! Quand même j'en suis sûr qu'il y aie plein des choses que le mouvment ici peut appredre des nos frères qubéquois!

Envoyez-moi vos questions de plus...

Rencontres

Salut, désolé, je n'avais pas vu ton premier message. Encore une fois, désolé pour mon annulation de dernière minute. Je crois qu'en m'inscrivant je m'étais laissé emporter par l'enthousiasme, je me suis rendu compte que c'était vraiment trop serré dans mon horaire. Un des problèmes est le fait que j'habite à Ottawa, et je n'ai pas suffisamment pris en compte le temps du trajet, c'est-à-dire un total de 6 heures de bus. Aussi, mon horaire de travail, quoique théoriquement stable, change sans cesse. Pour les dates que tu proposes, j'hésite maintenant à m'inscrire de peur d'avoir à annuler de nouveau à la dernière minute. Selon mon horaire, je suis disponible les 20 et 28 décembre (et je n'ai rien de prévue le lendemain non plus, ce qui n'était pas le cas pour la dernière fois), mais pas le 4 janvier. Mais dans le temps de Noël, il y a toujours des choses pas prévues, alors le mieux que je puisse dire, c'est "peut-être" aux deux premières dates. Mais si je peux, j'y serai. Le mieux serait le 28, je crois. Avant Noël, c'est plus difficile à prévoir. dh ▪ 2¢ ▪ 00:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 02:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Gilles Duceppe.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gilles Duceppe.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cavenba 16:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Quebec bashing

Salut, I understand from Mathieu that you are the original contributor of this article: Controversy over criticism of Quebec society and that you wish to no longer be involved there. Perfectly understandable. However, I urge you to reconsider. The current title is ridiculous and offensive. I have stated my views there and suggested a move to Anti-Quebec sentiment or back to Quebec bashing. I will not press the matter, however, since it seems unlikely to progress anywhere.

La Belge Vie

Il y a quelque mois tu avais demandé des renseignement sur la version belge de la petite vie. Malheureusement, tout ce que j'en sais viens d'un documentaire sur l'exportation de la culture québecoise qu j'ai vu il y a de cela quelque années. D'après le cour extrait montré, Moman est aussi interpreté par un homme et c`est tout ce que j'ai pu en déduire, désolé. --Marc pasquin 19:40, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

RecentChangesCamp Montreal / "RoCoCoCamp"

Hey, LL. Hope things are going well with you. I'm writing because I'm one of the organizers of the upcoming RoCoCoCamp event; 18-20 May 2007. RoCoCoCamp is the Montreal version of RecentChangesCamp, a BarCamp-style unconference centered around wiki technology, culture and communities. I've posted on the Quebec Wikipedians' notice board, but I'd like to make sure that you have a personal invitation to attend. Your experience as a leader in the Wikipedian Quebec community would be an important addition to the RCC event.

If you think you can attend, please sign up on the Participants list. I'm particularly proud that the local wiki community is organizing this international event; I hope you can give us the support we need to make it a success. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my user page here, by email at evan@prodromou.name, or however else you'd like. --ESP 17:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

"Un gars, une fille"

Il y a un drôle de bonhomme qui s'est amusé à pratiquement faire disparaître toute mention du Québec dans l'article. Il a donné des explications dans la discussion, mais je ne pense pas que ses arguments soient valides. J'hésite à défaire ses changements, j'aimerais savoir ce que tu en penses d'abord...--Boffob 02:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Adelard_Godbout_portrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Adelard_Godbout_portrait.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Traudl_Junge.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Traudl_Junge.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ^(talk) 17:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Les Cowboys Fringants, Attache ta tuque.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Les Cowboys Fringants, Attache ta tuque.jpg. 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 12:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Colbert Report logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Colbert Report logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use Image:Philip Glass by Annie Leibovitz.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Philip Glass by Annie Leibovitz.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Dream out loud (talk) 05:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Robert Bourassa portrait.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Robert Bourassa portrait.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 00:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Projet de loi referendum 1995.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Projet de loi referendum 1995.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 01:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
