Your edits to Canyelles
You were taking out stuff from the article, so I reverted it. (You can revert again, of course, if you want to. I don't know that much about it, just that information should be there...)  ~user:orngjce223 ☺ how am I typing? 16:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for explaining it, by the way. (In the future, of course, edit summaries would be a big help.  But then again, I'm not that experienced myself.)  ~user:orngjce223 ☺ how am I typing? 18:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Problem
Salut Ksnow, here you removed the demographics section and add garbage ?! what happens ? I just realize : here also. Alvar ☮ ☎ 17:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Also here; all articles in my watchlist, sorry. Alvar ☮ ☎ 17:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your explanations; the demographic data move from a section to the infobox. The garbage ? (and the 2 other diffs) you added « commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne in eastern France » to the geography section. Alvar ☮ ☎ 18:34, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. ++ Alvar ☮  ☎ 19:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

"Based on the article in the French Wikipedia"
Can you clarify here exactly under what circumstance you added this line to the articles you've edited? –xeno talk 22:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * (copied from WT:FRCOM) I am no longer adding this sentence. In fact, I am removing it when it appears. Ksnow (talk) 12:30, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Ksnow
 * So you agree it needs to be removed entirely, rather than replaced a trans template? I can run my bot to do this en-masse, it's received approval already. –xeno talk 12:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. It was pointed on my talk page that it is not really a valid reference. Ksnow (talk) 12:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Ksnow
 * Thank you. I will proceed on this information. Happy editing, –xeno talk 12:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Edits to French communes
If you are going to make virtually identical edits to hundreds of articles (perhaps using a bot?), you really should take more than the ordinary level of care to ensure that you are inserting correct links; for example, to Limousin (region) rather than the disambiguation page Limousin; to Lorraine (region) rather than the disambiguation page Lorraine; etc. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 09:46, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Ksnow! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 8 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Proposed deletion of Oberricken Pass


The article Oberricken Pass has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * A Google search for references found no results except for Wikipedia mirrors.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

References problem!
Hello. I see you are adding articles about places in Germany. You are also adding references about them - that's good. But you forget adding ==References== in every article, which results with showing an error instead of the references. Please fix it!  Kubek15  write / sign 10:25, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

French coats of arms
Hi Ksnow, thanks for adding coat of arms to infoboxes about French communes. The way you're doing it works, but there's a new standard way. The field name to use is "image coat of arms", not "image", and you can use the raw file name, no formatting. See this diff for example. Regards, Markussep Talk 07:36, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Discussion on infobox change

Proposed deletion of Wendy Overton


The article Wendy Overton has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  00:38, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Démographie template
Hi Ksnow, I don't think there's an easy way to get multiple rows in the Démographie template (it redirects to Demography BTW). As an alternative, you could create a table. If you need help on table layout, or if you prefer keeping the same colours etc. as in the tables produced by the Demography template, let me know. Markussep Talk 13:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Markus, I think we should translate Démographie2 for the communes that have full population histories.Ksnow (talk) 17:37, 18 February 2011 (UTC)Ksnow


 * Hi, I just looked at the fr:Modèle:Démographie2 template. It's 136 kb! But I made an option in the Demography template to omit the header, see example below. Does that solve the problem? Markussep Talk 11:51, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Please unblock the following IP address: 2001:4898:0:fff:0:5efe:10.125.6.127 This is a general Microsoft address and affects many users. Ksnow (talk) 16:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Ksnow


 * I'm not finding that IP address in any of the block logs. It's possible that the servers are seeing a different IP address, since this usually happens when one address is used as a "proxy" for a lot of different computers on the same network. When you get a block message, what IP address does it say was blocked? You may have to click on "show" for "What do I do now?" on the block message (if I understand the documentation correctly - it's sort of a bureaucratic mess of templates to even sort out what's going on). --Michael Snow (talk) 17:05, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Image uploads
Hi. I notice that most or all of your image uploads just say "copied from the French Wikipedia" or some such thing. In a lot of cases, the images have actually been moved to Commons, so there is no need for a local copy and, in fact, because the local copy doesn't have complete attribution information, it's not a good thing. Would you consent to me simply deleting the ones that are clearly on Commons, rather than going through the motions of 100 IFD nominations? Thanks. --B (talk) 00:09, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Ksnow. When you copy an image like File:Wappen Brand Laaben.gif from another Wikipedia, you need to say who actually created the image.  At de:Datei:Wappen Brand Laaben.gif, there is lots of information about this image that isn't mentioned here.  With some of the images you uploaded, there are copies of similar versions at Wikimedia Commons already and so it's easier to just delete them.  What I am asking for your permission to do is to delete the ones that are either unused or where there is a similar image at Commons, rather than going through the pro forma steps of nominating them for deletion and flooding your talk page with hundreds of deletion notices. --B (talk) 13:34, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You can use the template Information. But there are two separate issues: (1) some of your uploads have already been moved to Commons.  Images at Commons do not need to also be stored locally.  They can/should be deleted, but there is a pro forma process for doing so.  What I am asking for permission to do is to dispense with that pro forma process and simply delete these.  There's no point in wasting time updating attribution information for these since that information is correct at Commons and as soon as I delete the local copy, the Commons version will show through. (2) Some of your uploads are not at Commons.  One of two things needs to happen here - either (a) copy the relevant information from the page that you got it from or (b) move the other version to Commons.  If you will give me permission to do so, I will take care of problem #1 without slamming your talk page with hundreds of notifications.  Then you can take care of problem #2 with the rest of your uploads. --B (talk) 13:46, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

2011 US Open (tennis)
Hello there! Your recent updates of 2011 US Open (tennis) are not in consensus with WP:TENSCR, which stipulates that tennis scores must be documented with ndash symbols (–). Also, please be aware that the score tables on the front page for the 2011 US Open are meant for completed matches, not matches in progress, so please post the scores after the completion of the match. Please familiarise yourself with this and other rules before editing tennis scores.. Thank you, and happy editing! Prayerfortheworld (talk) 03:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Articles about places in Brittany
Please do not unlink Brittany (administrative region), which is a direct link to the correct page, in favour of Bretagne, which is a redirect to the article about the historic province and not the present-day region, apart from not being the English name of the region. If an article about a Breton place says "Inhabitants of Plovloff are called in French Plovlovains", please do not delete "in French". The inhabitants are not called Plovlovains in other languages, including Breton. In the infobox, there is no need to add "region= ", because the function is carried out by the INSEE field. Thank you for your consideration. Moonraker (talk) 04:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

File:98px-Kesswil.GIF needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:98px-Kesswil.GIF appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).


 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.


 * If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
