Lucien Goldmann
Hi Ponyboy, I just added a few biographical facts to the Goldmann article. Hopwever, I am no expert and I feel, someone with more knowledge of the man should continue. Maybe, you want to add some info? As it was, the article just started with info on Goldmann's teachings. Regards --Thomas Ruefner 12:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Retaliation

 * While we still speak to each other
 * Lunarian 11:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I do not have (nor have I ever had) any desire to speak with someone who is egomaniacally and unreasonably committed to misbehaving on Wikipedia. Any further insults and/or provocation from you on my talk page will be deleted. If you continue to be unable to rise above pettiness, then I suggest that we seek out dispute resolution. If you're still tempted, please consider the following:


 * Making bold edits
 * "Wikipedians often make sweeping changes to pages in order to improve them - most of us aim to be bold when updating articles. While having large chunks of text you've written removed or substantially rewritten can be frustrating, simply making edits that noticeably alter the text or content of a pages should not be immediately labeled vandalism."


 * Harassment or personal attacks
 * "We have a clear policy on Wikipedia of no personal attacks, and harassing other contributors is not allowed."

My pleasure. Zigzig20s 05:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC) écrire des articles en français, ça me botte. mais je reconnais que ce serait bien si un natif de la langue les vérifiait.
 * Sure, I will when I have time. I don't write much on the French Wikipedia myself though. BTW your diet sounds terrible - way too many carbs. (jk) Zigzig20s 16:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * pas de soucis pour les carbs, comme je suis végétarien je mange pas mal de légumes... --ponyboy 19:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Nice.Zigzig20s 20:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * ben c'est pas souvent qu'un français trouve le végétarianisme nice ! alors merci :) --ponyboy 18:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Moi-même je m'y mets...(I would do with some advice perhaps).Zigzig20s 21:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * archi-facile si tu habites aux é-u ou même en angleterre. moins facile à paris/lyon/&c., et bien plus difficile ailleurs en france, je crois. si tu veux vraiment des infos plus précises, n'hésite pas à me contacter à partir de mon compte friendster ou de mon blog. --ponyboy 22:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * huh, that's odd. it should work if you go to my blog -> my profile -> link to the left that leads to my friendster acct, from whence you should be able to send me a message (via friendster)... --ponyboy 22:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°1
Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
 * In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
 * I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
 * I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
 * There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
 * What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Featured portal criteria.

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, Chris DHDR (17:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

[[Image:Flag of France.svg|45px]] WikiProject Newsletter n°2
It's been one high aiming month! The French WikiProject and related pages have been aiming high for Christmas - and have received an equal number of presents in return! Well, that's this issue. Au revoir et à bientôt till the next time,  Chris DHDR (18:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)).
 * The French Portal is now a Featured Portal!!! It passed its Candidacy with 100%. Special thanks go to NYArtsnWords and all those that have made this Portal work.
 * The Newsletter has made it to a second issue. You can find its page at WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter and its archives at WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter/Archives.
 * A new page has been setup (WikiProject France/Links) to provide an index of the Projects/Portals pages (as well as helping newbees). When creating any pages in the Project/Portal namespace, please add them to the index page. This page also give WP:FRANCE members a handy watchlist.
 * As like last time, members are asked to renew their memberships at WikiProject France/Members.
 * I will be on holiday when the next issue is meant to come out so could some generous person(s) please do the next issue at WikiProject France/Outreach/Newsletter.

 * A new task force has been introduced: the Paris task force. Any users interested in contributing to the taskforce can join on the project page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
