Talk:Marie Rivière

Expansion from French Wikipedia
On the French Wikipedia, Marie Rivière includes a number of resources which could be used to expand this article: 2 references, plus a filmography which is wholly absent from the en.wp article.

So in December 2013, I added to draw the attention of editors to this resource.

However, that tag has been removed 3 times by User:87.7.119.131:
 * 1)  - no explanation offered
 * 2)  edit summary French WP has nothing more!
 * 3)  No text to be "translated" from French WP as requetsed by the template, just a list to add by copy and past; yours is a very captious argument

It seems to me to be pointless pedantry to discard the tag on the grounds of the filmography not needing translation. It's not strictly true that it's a copy-and-paste job, because the film titles on en.wp may not be identical, particularly since any disambiguators added on en.wp will be in English ... but even leaving that aside, how are editors and readers assisted by removing the notification that a resource exists which would allow easy expansion of the article?

I will notify and ask at WP:3O for outside input. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Your 3O request has been removed because there has been no thorough talk page discussion as required by that project (and also by all other forms of moderated content dispute resolution). If the other editor will not discuss, consider the recommendations which I make in this essay. Having said that, the tag seems entirely appropriate to me and BrownHairedGirl's argument about film titles seems apt. However, can I respectfully recommend that the time spent on this dispute over a tag might be more profitably spent by both editors to add reliable sources to the material which is already here, since the article is wholly unsourced?
