User:Simone2049

From France, using Wikipedia as a user and editing for over a decade. I was on the site a few years ago as a registered user, but I have been editing as an unregistered user as I travel frequently, and also don't want credit in person. The work should be above all us, as it was in the early days.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. It should be an encompassing knowledge resource, with having to resort to external sites such as Google and links to references, kept at a minimum. The focus on small and short articles affects its usability and would like to remedy this by expanding articles as much as they can be.

Pet peeves are a lack of ensuring correct spelling and grammar in English and French, in both articles and in discussions. I like to work on AfD articles specifically Businesspeople. I tend to either vote 'Keep', or 'Comment' when I have real questions.

I was the a strong contributor on Zhang_Yong (politician) - result was keep. I commented on chevalier Jean-Pierre Giroud, finding his German Wikipedia page - result was keep. Great news that Valerie Mars is a firm keep.

My current favourite articles in terms of notability in AfDs are Peter Middlebrook, Karl-Erivan Haub, George Saghir, Nicollete Rankin/ Manero, Tony Wood, Raymone Bain, Hassan Abdalla, Talal Malik (entrepreneur) and Siddiqui Memon.

Out of these, my top retention aim is Peter Middlebrook - top adviser, ridiculous to have an AfD. One billionaire such as Karl-Erivan Haub. Nicollete Rankin should be Nicollete Manero. Tony Wood is the head of a 2 billion British pound company - absured to have an AfD.

The biggest headache has been Talal Malik (entrepreneur), not at all for the content, but how there seems to have been mobilisation to either save or delete the article in either part. It will most likely be deleted as the subject does not have specific articles about himself. The most amusing is Siddiqui Memon, where a Pakistani head of a Cotton Traders Association has been mistaken for the Chief of a large province in Pakistan.
