Speedy deletion nomination of Pierre Corvol
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pierre Corvol requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
advice
editI have been working here for 12 years primarily screening new articles, especially biographies of scientists. I think I can help you avoid some of the difficulties yo have unfortunately been running into from improper reviewing. .
In starting an article, it is in practice a good idea to add a reference at the very first edit. It should be enough if you add them quickly, but the way articles are reviewed here, they are often seen first by reviewers who make no allowances for the incomplete state, even if it is just the next minute after starting. (They are not following Deletion Policy correctly if they immediately list it for deletion, but they do it anyway, & I have found that if they are not a beginner but set in their ways, there's no likelihood of trying to get them to do otherwise). And then there are some administrators here who simply delete everything listed for speedy deletion without evaluating it. (They are not properly following deletion Policy either, but there's usually no point in trying to tell them). The only safe thing to do is to have at least one reference at hand that proves the main point of notability , and add it as part of the first edit. It's not supposed to be that way, and I and the great majority of admins will stop every such deletion we are aware of, or undelete it if it has been wrongly deleted, but it's better not to have that problem.
In translating articles, it is absolutely essential that you use an edit summary at the very first edit saying what you are translating from . (This should then be expanded into more detail as explained at WP:COPYWITHIN). Most sensible reviewers and admins will simply add the statement if the article is listed for deletion as a copyvio, but there are a few who are over-literal. It's essentially hopeless to explain to them why it is not good practice to do that.
In translating articles from the frWP and deWP, there is generally a problem with references, since they do it differently. Ultimately, each reference will need to be rewritten according to our practice, and some way found for dealing with the general references they use in situations where we would use specific references. It is sometimes a good idea to simply copy paste the reference section from the page as it appears, and clean it up later.
Please keep up the good work. I do not unfortunately have time to check each article as you write it to make sure it isn't deleted, but if you do run into difficulties, please notify me on my talk page and I will try to deal with it.I know how to do it without getting into a confrontation. DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- Also, please note our manner of organizing a page. Look at the way I reorganized Corval. We put the awards at the end. DGG ( talk ) 05:06, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
Jean-François Bach - translation?
editHey! Thanks for creating Jean-François Bach, but I just wanted to ask if it is a translation of the French article of the same name? If so (just like has been said in the message above) you must state this at the article - please see the information on this at the following pages: Wikipedia:Translation#License requirements; WP:TFOLWP. In the future, you may find using the Content Translation tool useful, as this automatically attributes the translation. Si vous avez besoin d'un traduction - ou vous voudriez parler en français, n'hésitez pas de m'envoyer un message ici (if you need a translation - or you would like to talk in French, don't hesitate to send me a message here). Merci! Seagull123 Φ 17:24, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Bonjour seagull123, la notice Wikipédia en anglais de Jean-François Bach est bien une traduction de sa fiche française. Je n'ai pas bien compris ce que je dois faire pour le signifier.

editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pierre Braunstein, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Rochester and Leopoldina (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Alert!
editIt is absolutely required that when you translate a page from another Wikipedia into the English Wikipedia, that you indicate this, preferably both on the article itself, usually after the references section, and in the edit summary. Preferably, this should indicate not just the article title, but also specific vesion ID of the original, so that it is perfectly clear just what has been used. You asked above how to do it. Just add the text, along with the link.
This is not optional. At enWP, it is considered a copyright violation, and pages lacking this are very likely to be deleted unless someone adds the attribution. As a reviewing administrator, I will do it when I see it, but I cannot and do not see everything.
Please also make the interwiki link, using the "Add link" tool in the bottom of the right hand margin after the page is created. Otherwise, someone else will have to do it for you. This is your responsibility.
(And, as I pointed out above, you need to change links to our style. You need to at least make the link to the enWP articles for the French Academy of Sciences and other institutions. You also need to give dates of his degrees ., and we do not accept vague sentences like "Called to teach in various places, including Europe, the United States, Latin America and China," Give the permanent positions specifically, andi ncate those that are visiting.
The copyright matter in particular is considered quite serious here, and I must ask you for your assurances that you will do this for all articles that you translate. '' DGG' ( talk ) 01:20, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
You seem to have taken absolutely no notice of the advice you have been given. When you translate text from a foreign language Wikipedia you must provide attribution to the original authors in your edit summary or on the page, and add a translation tag to the talk page, as I have done for Pierre Encrenaz. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:04, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- Please add translation templates to the talk pages of the other articles you have created by translation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:04, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
Soyez plus précis svp quand vous écrivez "Please add translation templates to the talk pages of the other articles you have created by translation". Que dois je faire exactement. Je ne comprends pas. Merci--Postaire (talk) 08:05, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Here is an example of one I added myself. {{Translated|fr|François Forget}}. You can add this template to the talk page of articles you translate, just changing "François Forget" to the title of the article you have translated. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:06, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Robert Guillaumont moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Robert Guillaumont, ...
You know what's wrong. You haven't credited the French original which deprives the french contributors of the credit they deserve for their work. You haven't converted any of the French templates to their English equivalents ({{Lien web}} -> {{Cite web}}). You've left French style quotes « » in the article instead of using English style quotes "". References come after punctuation. There's no References section. The other article I moved to draft had few inline citations WP:INCITE, and put every mention of the subject's name into bold. Please, please, please start with Drafts and make them good before moving them to mainspace. Even better, use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Cabayi (talk) 11:04, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
If you continue to create article on enwiki using translations from the French wiki without giving credit to the French original you are likely to be blocked. The French contributors are entitled to credit for their work. You are stealing their effort.
There is far more difference between the French wiki and the English wiki than just the language. It would be far better if you created your translations in Draft, got some help from the relevant projects to bring the draft up to standard, and used the Articles for Creation process.
I hope that helps.
- Excuse the Google translation...
Si vous continuez à créer un article sur enwiki en utilisant des traductions du wiki français sans accorder de crédit à l'original français, vous risquez d'être bloqué. Les contributeurs français ont droit à un crédit pour leur travail. Vous volez leur effort.
Il y a beaucoup plus de différence entre le wiki français et le wiki anglais que juste la langue. Il serait préférable que vous créiez vos traductions dans Draft, que vous obteniez de l'aide des projets concernés pour mettre le projet à niveau et que vous utilisiez le processus Articles pour la création.

Advice
editThe English WP is not the same as the French WP. This applies especially to biographies of living people, where we have a rule that all information must be referenced. For bios of scientists, such as you have been doing, this means more specifically:
- the basic plain facts of the persons life --birth, education, spositions held -- can be taken from their official CV, but this needs to be specifically cited as a reference.
- The books and papers they have written can be sourced by their publication information. For books, this can be done explicitly by giving the ISBN. For journal articles, it's done by giving the link to the online version.
- Awards can if necessary also be sourced to the CV, but if at all possible they should be referenced by a third-party source. This is usually possible, because announcements of awards are generally published.
- Everything else must have a third-party independent reliable source. This especially applies to judgments of quality or importance or significance of their work.
- Material that can not be sourced must be removed.
In addition, it is our practice that we do not include all the papers of an individual. We do include all their published books. But we include only the most important papers, which is normally shown by the papers having the highest citations, usually by Google, though Scopus or WebofScience is also fine. We usually include 3 to 5 papers. There can sometimes be occasion to cite others in the discussions of their work. DGG ( talk ) 23:46, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Postaire. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Éric Postaire, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Ifnord (talk) 19:08, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
I did considerable cleanup of this article, including fixing the nonidiomatic translations of various phrases and positions. You really should be able to do this yourself.
