User talk:Claude Patrick Fabre

Welcome!
Hello, Claude Patrick Fabre, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

I '''don't know where to put my answer (I am a newcomer). Is it here?

The situation is the following: several years ago, somebody created a wikipedia page in french about me. Recently, somebody (that I don't know) created an english wikipedia page about me. But this page is incomplete and contains errors. I noticed that, and corrected the page. The text I wrote is just the translation of the french page. If this procedure is not the right one, can you tell me how to do to it right, so that are no longer incorrect data about me ?

I am now emeritus, and in position to write articles for wikipedia, if I find time enough.

 * The French Wikipedia and the English Wikipedia operate independently, and may have different guidelines. (I can't be sure; I haven't spent any time editing the French Wikipedia.) The problem with the article as it exists here at the English Wikipedia is that is not cited sufficiently to verify the contents of the page. That will need to be addressed. It is also not properly formatted, but that is easily fixed. In the future, you would do well to not edit this article but, if you see factual errors in it, to request changes at the article's talk page. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:47, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
