Supervision de la traduction d'un article
Bonjour, vous serait-il possible de superviser la traduction en anglais de l'article suivant : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A9ment_Duhour ? L'article initial en français est : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A9ment_Duhour

Merci et bonne année 2016 !

--ThalèsWasHere (talk) 09:45, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Salut : Je peux essaier d'aider au moins un peu. Est-ce que c'est possible de partager la traduction ou est-ce que vous pouvez m'expliquer commnet (exactement) de superviser la traduction (redaction de grammaire, style et wikilinks) ? Merci et bonne année 2016 à vous ! -  t u coxn \talk 17:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Merci beaucoup pour l'aide, je trouve ce sujet important mais je ne suis pas un pro de la traduction, j'ai donc fait au mieux avec mes compétences limitées. Si vous pouvez faire un passage sur ma version et essayer de l'améliorer comme vous le suggérez (grammaire, style, wikilinks, ...), ça serait parfait. --ThalèsWasHere (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fiji, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South Pacific. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 15:26, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I fixed this. The link pointing to the disambiguation page for South Pacific now points to Oceania. -  t u coxn \talk 21:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious
I would like to know about the pic on your user page, if it's possible. What's that? Mhhossein (talk) 19:06, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The photos on my user page rotate randomly, so I'm not sure which one you saw. A list of the images is in User:Tucoxn/Userpage/Modules/Random. You will need to look at the code to find all the image titles, and add "File:" to the beginning and ".jpg" to the end of each to view them. -  t u coxn \talk 19:57, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I saw no code there. The pic is a purple half circle in the downer part of the picture surrounded with a blue cloud. The cloud has find its way to the upper part of the picture. Mhhossein (talk) 02:42, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It must be this one: File:Energy Arc (central electrode of a Plasma Lamp).jpg. Cheers! -  t u coxn \talk 14:51, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * That's it, thanks. Mhhossein (talk) 07:21, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls
in your common.js, could you change

to Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls I know it's dumb, but the backend software parses the comment and puts your page in the category :) thank you. Frietjes (talk) 13:59, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. Thanks. It's amazing that the back-end software can't tell that text is within a comment, for the purposes of categorization. Thanks again! -  t u coxn \talk 14:53, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
 * yes, it's strange. the other way to fix stuff like that is to add

//
 * at the very top of the script page, which causes the backend software to think that everything after that is inside of a nowiki tag. I have no idea why they don't just make this the default for any page ending in .js ... Frietjes (talk) 14:55, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, thanks for the msg - I tries to reply but it just bounced "550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable". Yup life is a challenge at the moment on multiple fronts - I wish I had the time and energy for editing but for now it's one of several things on hold - hopefully life will turn around and I'll be back.

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge

The Challenge Series
The Challenge Series is a current drive on English Wikipedia to encourage article improvements and creations globally through a series of 50,000/10,000/1000 Challenges for different regions, countries and topics. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are invited to participate.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
