Municipality -> Commune
Hello, I noticed you've been replacing the word Municipality with Commune on multiple pages. What's your rationale for that? I'm slightly annoyed by it as municipality is clear English, whilst commune, in the sense of municipality, is a loan word and not its primary meaning. --Midas02 (talk) 04:25, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, precisely because the country of Haiti does not have "municipalities;" they are called communes. Also notice the fact that this change I am making pertains only to Haiti (or France). Check every French article, and you will see that I am merely being consistent. There is also a main article for the commune. Cheers. Savvyjack23 (talk) 04:27, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * See Paris for example. It boasts that it is a commune and its infobox states the same variables being "{{Infobox French commune..." Savvyjack23 (talk) 04:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh by the way, I almost never make this change pertaining to France. Usually it is already worded as such. Savvyjack23 (talk) 04:32, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, but there's a difference here. When you have to define the exact status of such and such municipality, like in an infobox, you need to use the language of the country of origin (commune, gmina, Gemeinde, ...). There's no other way. But in a plain text, municipality reads well, whilst commune doesn't and supposes that the reader knows what it is. In this respect, articles on French topics aren't a reference as they are heavily edited by French users introducing bad English and alien terms.
 * Is there a guideline on what kind of words/language to use in articles? --Midas02 (talk) 04:44, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, but if that's the case we are talking about precisely 105,000+ French articles, those that are at least listed under its project (|shown here). While it may read better (depending on whose point of view), perhaps this can be a step towards refining its main article. There is a guideline to use the English language wherever possible, however, "commune" is in fact an English word (or a "common word" at least) deriving from Latin. The same could be said for "boroughs," or "parishes" which not all administrative divisions use but aren't simply translated into something that is most common to the everyday reader. Savvyjack23 (talk) 04:56, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * A commune is an administrative division of Haiti. See List of communes of Haiti. How would you translate a French Canton, or an Arrondissement (even though Google translates it as "districts;" but apparently this is not so accurate.), or a department? To say a department is a state or something familiar strays more towards violating WP:POV. Savvyjack23 (talk) 05:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Stubs
Why do you believe that the article is a stub? There's no absolute standard, but there are several rules of thumb, and it exceeds all of them significantly:


 * A minimum of ten sentences – it has about 40.
 * 500+ words – it has about 850.
 * 1,500 characters of text – it has about 5,600.

I think you should consider updating the assessment to accurately reflect the size and development of the article. In case you haven't read it before, the definition of start-class is here: Start-Class. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Possible stub articles in Haitian related to New York City
Thank you for helping out in the Haitian Wikipedia!

Are you interested in writing some stubs in Haitian related to New York City? If so I can send you a list of possible articles. Making these stubs may attract New York-resident Haitians to HTwiki. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:16, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes please, that would be awesome. Thanks Savvyjack23 (talk) 17:19, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Constantin Henriquez and Francisco Henríquez de Zubiría
Hello,

Nobody has the name Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera. Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera is a name created by confusion between two names Constantin Henriquez and Francisco Henríquez de Zubiría. Result of searchs of ISOH. The name on Sports-Reference was corrected : The page Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera had destroyed for the creation of the page Constantin Henriquez :. Can you cancel your last modifications on Constantin Henriquez, please ?

GabrieL (talk) 08:33, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I will gladly revert all my edits. However, I need a source that says this is not his name. We need proof that Sports-Reference was corrected etc. Once satisfied, this change will be made. Savvyjack23 (talk) 08:36, 30 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Source that says this is not his name :  ;-) GabrieL (talk) 08:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC) Another source in romanian :  at the end of the text. His brother is Alphonse Henriquez and his grand son is Robert Henriquez and his ancestor Isaac Henriques (with S final). No "de Zubiera" in the family. The other sources were writed after French article of Wikipedia with mention of this confusion. GabrieL (talk) 08:48, 30 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I actually came across this website before. Since, it is a blog we cannot use it as a reference. So I will analyze the citations it uses. I will also access the Romanian website. Please stand-by. (I may return to this in 6-8 hours; it is 4:51AM over here =/ )Savvyjack23 (talk) 08:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's a blog but it's Fernando Arrechea Rivas' blog. Fernando Arrechea Rivas is an Olympic historian and hispanic soccer historian member of the International Society of Olympic Historians. In the sources mentioned by Arrechea, the oldest occurrence with "Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera" is the German book Olympische Spiele 1900 in Paris in 1995 but this book quotes "Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera" in tug of war instead of Francisco Henríquez de Zubiría. And for old results in Olympic Games (database and history), Sports-References is the source the most used in Wikipedia. GabrieL (talk) 09:29, 30 May 2016 (UTC) Hello, in November 1932, Constantin Henriquez published with this name a book on Haïti (Nos Villes et nos Bourgades : Époque de leur fondation. Désignation de leurs habitants. Lieux historiques et pittoresques) . In June 1932, Le Nouvelliste mentionned his name (second column), it's only Constantin Henriquez . GabrieL (talk) 08:17, 31 May 2016 (UTC) Bonjour Savvyjack23, Now, can you or can I revert your last modifications with "edit summary" a reference to this talk ? GabrieL (talk) 07:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * In light of this new information, I think it is imperative that this article reads "Constantin Henriquez" and can hopefully be used as a benchmark to amend a careless mistake made in history and finally giving credit for Francisco Henríquez de Zubiría's silver medal feat in the Olympics during the same year. Thank you for your patience and for your diligent service in acquiring all these sources.

P.S. Can I have you permission to copy this discussion to Constantin Henriquez's talk page to make sure that other editors do not make the same mistake? Cordialement. Savvyjack23 (talk) 21:16, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. Thanks for all. GabrieL (talk) 09:16, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Yassin Fortune


The article Yassin Fortune has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Subject is a young footballer who has not yet played in a fully professional league or at senior international level, so fails the sport-specific notability guideline, and about whom there's no evidence of enough non-routine independent significant coverage to satisfy the general notability guideline.

While all constructive 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.

In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Struway2 (talk) 12:26, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Yassin Fortune for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Yassin Fortune is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Yassin Fortune until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Struway2 (talk) 08:22, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

''Two editors have requested that a source be provided, specifically for the ranking positions in the first column and the points totals in the last.

Block evader
For what it's worth, the person at 2015 Copa América is editing anonymously, but from the same location. The IPV6 address in question, 2003:5F:3E57:242C:24B8:8A61:4CEF:4F74, is composed of two major parts, the first half containing prefix and subnet ID, the second half identifying the specific computer. In this case, 2003:5F:3E57:242C identifies his location, in Berlin, the second half, 24B8:8A61:4CEF:4F74, identifies his computer. That's usually based on the MAC address of the computer, but it can be overridden - such as by running a virtual machine, in which case it will be assigned randomly. If you take this back to WP:ANI, it's probably worth asking for a range block on the entire prefix and subnet ID. See IPv6_address. Regards, Tarl N.  ( discuss ) 17:17, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/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 Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 350 articles in just six days. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thankyou.

Russell Wilson
I reverted several of your edits on Russell Wilson because I felt they were unencyclopedic and extraneous in nature. The background section includes the most relevant portions pertaining to Wilson's ancestors from the Richmond Forum event. Describing who kings were or who they were related to is information that is readily available in the articles for those specific people. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 04:07, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * , your point is noted, however, who are we to determine was is considered relevant? The point of an encyclopia is to further improve upon it and to update accordingly with what we believe to be fact. In Russell Wilson's case, these lineages are not only being discussed at this forum but in sports articles alike as you can see a la Washington Post and among others. If it did not relate to him, there wouldn't be any articles with his name attached to them. It is important to name who these people are in this article, as well as titles briefly. We aren't going on about who Charlemagne concurred etc. I just do not see a reason to pick and choose what we should add from said articles; to do so is a bias determination and hinders the growth of an article.

Association des Industries d'Haïti
Hi SavvyJack23! Our paths have crossed recently at Le Nouvelliste (which is an article that could definitely be developed more!) and at Haiti-US relations. I haven't been able to make any progress on that page during the election, though I expect afterwards I'll be able to put together some elements I've scattered on talk pages in Clinton space and in a couple Haitian space articles. My feel is that there is no point moving forward on that article until HRC is anointed queen. ^^ (That said, Mark Bassett's comment is right on, on the Haiti-US relations page, it was only a collection of facts as first presented.)

I'm wondering if you could take a quick look at Draft:Association of Haitian Industries and let me know if you have any special expertise / knowledge on this, or any suggestions for its improvement. Hope our paths will cross in future on some Haitian articles! SashiRolls (talk) 04:08, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Happy to cross paths again ! I will continue to help monitor these pages accordingly. Will take a deeper look into the Haiti-related pages you are currently working on (especially ones in relation the US) and gladly share my insights, praise or concerns with you!


 * However, unlike Queen Elizabeth, Victoria and the ones before them of the English world that bestowed upon us the awesomeness of its language (among other things), IMO...I do not think HRC is a queen worth saving. Savvyjack23 (talk) 05:00, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
