Mediation request regarding Emporis "controversy" section
Montalto has requested informal mediation regarding the Emporis "Controversy" section and has identified Gothicform, MatthieuN, UnitedPakistan, Elk Salmon, and 86.6.160.50 as involved parties.

I've tried to summarize the dispute on the mediation page. If you are interested in mediation, please let me know either on the mediation page or on the Emporis talk page -- I have some ideas that I think may be helpful to resolve the dispute constructively.

Thanks -- I'm looking forward to working with you all. TheronJ 15:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Matthieu, my guess is that the requestor included you because of a talk page comment you made -- if you're not interested in the mediation, there's certainly no obligation to participate. Sorry if my note came as a shock.  (Cross posted on the mediation talk page).  Thanks, TheronJ 17:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

France
I had to revert all your edits. Please see the article's talk page for more details. Gallery sections should not be in country articles in the first place, and the misc topic section will soon be deleted. Take a look at Belgium, India, Canada, Australia (all FA class country articles) for more ideas and details. Cheers! Baristarim 15:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

History of France
Matthieu-

I notice that you have been making some good contributions to the Early Modern sections of History of France. Just a suggestion: I think some of these contributions might be placed on the subpage Early Modern France rather than the main History page, as the main History of France page is in "summary" form, and the various subpages are the place for the greatest detail. Thanks, and keep up the good work-- NYArtsnWords 17:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Gothic architecture
Thanks for your edit! I have changed the wording to Plantagenet kings which is how they are usually referred to in English. I also slightly altered the sentence because I wasn't quite sure what was meant. Can you please take a look? If you run your cursor over my Plantagenets here, you will see where they connect!

 * Hello again, Matthieu! Just one little thing... when you leave messages, put them at the bottom of the page, not the top, both for discussion pages and for user talk pages. I know it seems odd, but that is how it's done here... so we just go along with it! --Amandajm 10:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Matthieu! Can you do me a favour and drop a translation of that on the discussion page? I'm afraid I'm one of these crass Australians who has never managed to learn a second language effectively. I can translate Italian with the help of a dictionary and order two coffees and a focaccia but my French is almost nil! --Amandajm 05:52, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh Dear! I just looked at the article and discovered that you had made a quarter of it disappear! I's always very worrying when that happens and sometimes it is ahrd to find the cause. (Some bastard deleted a whole section of the article on Fra Angelico and no-one noticed for months!)

Sometimes, when you add a references, if you don't use exactlyy the right symbols, the article gets confused and turns half the article into a reference, or just hides it! What had happened was - you left out a "/" !

When you make a "ref name=BF"Banister Fletcher/", you must than be careful to include "/" before the ">" in all the subsequent "ref names", So it then becomes "ref name=BF /", with the arrows, of course! :-) --Amandajm 06:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment
...I responded to you in kind on the article talk page - I hope you see the reason in all this. Are you knowledgeable in all things France and Paris? Your help would be greatly welcome. Cheers. THE PROMENADER  23:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You're French, right?
If so, then maybe you can help me out. Can you please tell me what time French people generally go to bed? Thanks! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 06:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I was just curious; I'm very interested in anything the French do. I believe if I were speaking in French about how much I like the French, I'd say Je t'adore, right? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 20:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Angiven empire
I saw you stopped by my biggest contribution on wikipedia. It took me months to write this article, I hope you enjoyed reading it. I tried to be as neutral as possible while writing it. However I have a question, in the first paragraph of the Geography and Administration I originaly wrote "Welsh Kingdoms", however someone changed it to "Princedoms", but in the 12th century I really think we should refer to them as Kingdoms. I didn't revert the edit to avoid an argument and well, kingdoms can be said to be princedoms in a way, yet I think of reverting the edit, what do you think about it? Matthieu (talk) 21:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Hello! Nice artical Mattheiu! I didnt myself edit out kingdoms for princedoms... because I would have used principalities myself. However, it is not out of place in my opinion. For instance, in the biography of Gruffydd ap Cynan written in the early 12th century he is addressed as principatus Norwallia (correct translation is Prince of North Wales, but commonly translated to Prince of Gwynedd). The same is true for the ruler of Deheubarth. And after the battle of the Berwyn Mountains Gruffydd's sons Owain he began using the style "princeps Wallensium", the prince of the Welsh. Though it can be said that in the early 11th century most like in Welsh the title of Brenin was still used when refering to them in the Welsh language. So, from my prespective, both the use of Welsh kingdoms can be correct, but so can Welsh principalities. Personally I prefer the latter. But you may do there what you will. I was eventually going to flesh out more information on Wales within the Angiven Empire, but if you get there before I do that would be great too. ♦Drachenfyre♦ · Talk 21:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC) ok, I'm satisfied with both versions actually. You know I wanted to make the article longer and expand to Henry III's reign, his relations with Louis IX and so one because he indeed conceeded Capetian victory over Normandy and Anjou only after some moments and asked to be buried next to his grand-father in Chinon, but the article is just already damn too long :p Matthieu (talk) 21:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC) As long as it is well written and organized, an artical is never too long, in my opinion, lol. Yes, the Angiven periode is very intriguing to me, especially given the histroic rivalries between Anjou and Normandy. ♦Drachenfyre♦ · Talk 21:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

How would you say this?
I must repaint my house. How would you say that in French? Wilhelmina Will (talk) 00:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay; how about this: "Which is better? Citing a source throughout an article, or leaving it as a link at the bottom?" Wilhelmina Will (talk) 06:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry! I've got you all confused. I meant how would you translate that? Sorry! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 17:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 22:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Surface area of an event horizon
Did you get answers to these questions?

so how do we define a surface we can never see formed? '''Geometrically the area of any surface is well defined in general relativity. If you tell me where the surface is located and tell me what the graviational field is in that region, computing the area is easy.''' Does an event horizon even has a surface? '''Yes, but to specify a two dimensional surface you need to define an instant in time also. This can be done though, and is quite easy in certain cases.''' I know it is the edge where light remains "trapped" forever but can we even have a clear appreciation of it? '''In principle, using the current incomplete understanding, it is possible to use measurements to determine where the event horizon is, but these measurements are complicated and need to be taken before the event horizon forms. I could try to explain but do you want to hear it?'''I mean can we put or even imagine an observing element (of the ideal size, like the smallest possible) exactly on the edge of the event horizon (where going at the speed of light the opposite way it would remain exactly at the same place, the aspiration of the hole and the movement speed of the observer being in a perfect balance) or can't we? '''If something is travelling at the speed of light, you shouldn't really refer to it as "an observing element" as it does not have a proper time, meaning it can't really measure very much. But you can talk about an observer travelling less than the speed of light falling into the black hole and instantaneously being on the event horizon and doing measurements there - although such an observer would not necessarily know they were falling over the event horizon. Sorry if much of this doesn't make sense. Ask me about it if you have questions and I may have time to reply.--Eujin16 (talk) 07:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)'''
