User talk:Veillg1

Hello and thank you
Hello Veillg1 - yesterday I copy-edited an article you started here on this project about Lake Missionary. Thanks very much for translating it from French Wikipedia. I see that you have made several translations this year, and they are all appreciated. I enjoyed working on the Missionary Lake article, and would be very happy to do some copy-editing on other articles you have translated. It is my plan over the coming months to check your contributions here and do this copy-editing. I wanted to let you know about this before I start so that you would not feel I was trying to interfere with your work.

If you have any questions or thoughts, please let me know on my talk page. It is very nice to have this set of articles about such a beautiful and important part of Québec. Risker (talk) 15:08, 15 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I wanted to let you know that, now that I have completed a different longterm project, I have now started work on copy-editing articles related to the Mauricie. If you have any particular articles you would like me to work on, please let me know. In the meantime, I will start with this list.  One quick note:  When researching the article initially named "Lordship of Triton", I did a bit of research, and everything in both English and French that I could find referred to it as "La Seigneurie du Triton", so I have moved the article. The word "seigneurie" is not an easy translation from French to English, but the word Manor comes closest; however, I could not find any sources that use that term. Thank you again for all of the work you have done in translating and transferring these articles from French Wikipedia.  Risker (talk) 03:33, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Bostonnais for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bostonnais 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/Bostonnais 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. P 1 9 9 ✉ 01:02, 25 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Please note that Wikipedia does not create disambiguation pages to comprehensively list every single article that has a given word in its title, as you did at Bostonnais; we create disambiguation pages only to direct readers to the correct choice among pages that could potentially compete for the same title. That is, the only reason for Bostonnais to exist as a disambiguation page would be if there were two or more pages that could potentially be placed at the exact title "Bostonnais" — but according to our actual naming conventions, there are none and the page is thus not necessary or valuable at all.

Disambiguation
Hello, I have taken notice of your edits on multiple disambiguation pages. From your editing style, I could see you come from French Wikipedia where the governance of such pages is completely different (not to say almost absent).

English Wikipedia on the contrary uses a strict set of guidelines for disambiguation pages. Can I ask you to have a look at WP:DDD for a short summary.

In short, could you make sure:
 * Only to include ONE, and exactly one blue link per line. So only one item per entry should be linked with a blue link.
 * Do not pipe entries on dab pages.
 * Please do not use the keyword homonymy nor create redirects called Foo (homonymy). That keyword is not being used on WP.EN. We use disambiguation and explicit redirects to dab pages are called Foo (disambiguation). So don't use it in hatnotes such as . So either replace the word homonymy with something more descriptive, or easier, use the  template.

Thank you for your consideration. --Midas02 (talk) 09:16, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

East River
Yes, there are indeed other East Rivers in the world, and we even have an article on at least one of them, but, practically speaking, the East River in New York City is the best known, and therefore the primary subject of that phrase.

List of rivers of Quebec
Bonjour Gaétan, je travaille à la création d'un tableau des affluents et sous-affluents de la rivière l'Assomption en utilisant la liste des rivières du Québec. J'ai remarqué que les cours d'eau y sont classés à partir de la confluence principale selon leur confluence rive droite puis rive gauche. Dans le tableau j'ai classé les confluences rive gauche en ordre inverse de leur confluence afin de créer une boucle pour chacun des sous-affluents. Ainsi, lorsqu'on suit la séquence on fait le tour des sous-bassins et du bassin principale, à partir de la confluence principale, de la rive droite vers la rive gauche pour finalement revenir à la confluence principale. Qu'en penses-tu ? --YB ✍ 12:51, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

A page you started (Rivière à l'Orme) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Rivière à l'Orme, Veillg1!

Wikipedia editor Boleyn just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Please stop adding hatnotes which do not meet WP:HATNOTE."

To reply, leave a comment on Boleyn's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

Boleyn (talk) 21:00, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Boleyn for your specific feedback and for monitoring Wikipedia's content. The hatnote is a subject that deserves to be discussed. Hatnotes are widely used in languages ​​other than English; reluctantly, the hatnotes are often erased in the project in English. Erasing hatnotes in English reduces my search efficiency; while in French the hatnotes help me to go faster in research and to find appropriate links. In geography, place names often appear similar or identical; thus, the hatnotes make it possible to validate similar place names. Let's put in perspective that the hatnote is generally useful when referring to an article of disambiguation. The hatnote facilitates navigation on Wikipedia. As WP becomes larger, it will be necessary to use the hatnotes. I hope that hatnotesless fans understand that hatnotes are very useful for many Wikipedia users. Hoping that in English, WP adopts the policy of promoting the hatnotes such in other languages as they are necessary for navigation. Veillg1 (talk) 22:00, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Muy 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/Muy 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. Largoplazo (talk) 02:21, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article "Muy" is a based on a French family name. This term has many uses: lake, river, commune of France, persons, an acronym for Moscow Airport, a village of Nicaragua, a township, a magazine, an album, an actor, a mountain in Mexico, a watercourse in Nicaragua... That means this page is a reference for writing new articles in different languages. This disambiguation page help the readers to navigate through WP. We hope that WP will continue to support the initiatives of creation of disambiguation pages. Blocking creation may discourage WP writers.Veillg1 (talk) 4:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Layout of lake and river articles
Hi there. I noticed you're creating a lot of articles on lakes, rivers and other water features. This is really good work, it's very much appreciated. I just wanted to reach out to you on two things I noticed in the articles that pose some layout issues to users.

Firstly columns are only useful if the information being presented is short and succinct, like lists of names etc. In the articles there is prose in the Geography section that is difficult to read for the reader, especially on a mobile device, due to the columns. So I would ask that you don't put such information in columns.

Second the See also section should only be for items that are not already linked in the article. I noticed that the majority of the See alsos were already linked in the main article, therefore shouldn't be listed again per MOS:NOTSEEALSO. Additionally if an article doesn't yet exist (redlink) then it shouldn't be in the See also section.

That's all, just wanted to bring these up as you're creating a lot of these articles (which is good.) Keep up the good work. Canterbury Tail talk 15:09, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * @Canterbury Tail. Thanks for your feedback. Your role on Wikipedia is helpful and appreciated. It is good to discuss these issues in looking for a common methodology. Let put in perspectives that you are referring to small-screen devices (eg smartphones) with which users have difficulty reading certain texts with columns. I use my cellphone daily to read on Wikipedia. Sometime, if necessary I turn the device 90 degrees; and that's usually enough.

In counterpart, many texts without columns are difficult to read on large screens. In particular, dyslectic or older readers have difficulty reading long lines of text then trying to connect to the beginning of the next line. If newspapers had only one column, they would be very difficult to read and unpleasant to read.

In short, Wikipedia can not accommodate both large screen users and users of small screens. Nevertheless, I wish the computer experts find a solution to automatically accommodate both situations. Gaétan Veillette 01:53, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

East-west
In addition to the points made by Reywas92 immediately above, I'd like to point out that in articles such as Petite rivière Jean-Boivin and Jean-Boivin River you've used east longitudes rather than west longitudes in the coordinates. Please remember to use a hyphen before the decimal numeral for west longitudes. Also, use inline,title only for the mouth coordinates of rivers, not for both the mouth and source coordinates, since there should be only one set of coordinates displaying in the title position. Deor (talk) 16:54, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

MacDonald River (Quebec)
I saw you moved MacDonald River (Quebec) to MacDonald River (Côte-Nord), since there is another MacDonald River in Desbiens in Quebec. That is fine. You then blanked MacDonald River (Quebec). That caused a serious problem, since we now had about 100 pages pointing to the blanked page, and none to MacDonald River (Côte-Nord).

I have changed MacDonald River (Quebec) to a disambiguation page to MacDonald River (Côte-Nord) and MacDonald River (Métabetchouane River), and started to clean up the links so they point direct to MacDonald River (Côte-Nord). You may want to help with this. When you move a page, you have to think about what happens to links that point to the old name.

Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 09:12, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this new redirection. This change makes sense. The root cause of the problem is the use of the wrong title in English MacDonald River (Quebec). When choosing an article title on a toponym article, the author of the article had to consider the other homonymous toponyms already existing in the given territory even if the other homonymous toponyms do not yet have an article on Wikipedia.


 * Let's put in perspective that, with regret, the policy of Wikipedia (project in English) is to display in the disambiguation list only the articles existing. This bad policy often leads to later corrections to the titles of articles in English. Hoping that one day Wikipedia (English project) will change its policy to allow adding to the disambiguation list the elements that are not already covered by an article.


 * Thanks, Veillg1 (talk) 13:25, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * The policy on DABs was discussed and decided long ago: a DAB helps readers find an article when their search term is ambiguous; redlinks are not helpful. Article title qualifiers should be as broad as possible, E.g. "Xyz (Canada)" or "Xyz (Quebec)" rather than "Xyz (Lac-Walker)" or "Xyz (Aux Rochers River)". The reader is more likely to know the country or province than the municipality, main stem river, etc.. It is easy to move to a more precise qualifier if a new page will have a similar title. The best approach is:
 * Move the existing page, leaving the old title as a redirect
 * Change all links to the old title so they point to the moved page, and the redirect has nothing pointing to it
 * Start the new page
 * Change the redirect to a DAB pointing to the old (moved) page and to the new page with the similar title
 * Add links to the new page from other articles
 * That way all the links keep working throughout the process. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reminder of Wikipedia on DABs policy. Admittedly, this policy is clear, but ineffective. You know my long experience on the creation of articles on the plans and watercourses of Quebec. And I have some criticisms to address concerning the choice of the titles of geographic articles on the English Wikipedia project. Too many errors arise when assigning an article title based on the name of the river with the country (state or province) in parenthesis. This attribution is often done without having taken into consideration the existence of other toponyms on the same territory. This is the case of MacDonald River (Quebec). In addition, after finding the title error, a redirect link is automatically placed on the old title to the moved page; which is often confusing, as the link should rather be redirected to the disambiguation page or to the correct article title. In short, I would like a review of this rule on the English Wikipedia project. Veillg1 (talk) 19:00, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Leaving all the links pointing to the old title after a move, and blanking the page with that title, is destructive. Readers can no longer follow links to the moved page. You are surely not proposing that should be standard practice. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:32, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * You are right to say that the links pointing to the old title should be redirected to the right title. In short, for the correction to be complete, there must be a redirection of the old link to the right title. To achieve this, old links should not be directed to a blank page. We agree on this point.
 * The problem is rather than:
 * automatic redirection to the new title is not appropriate in all cases;
 * there are many titles which are badly conceived on the English project of Wikipedia.
 * In short, to be effective, it is important for Internet users to choose the right titles of geographic articles and to make the right redirects; currently, several titles are erroneous because the article designers forget to consider the other homonyms existing but which do not have an article.

Attribution is required for translations
Hi! As you've already been advised higher up this page, attribution is required when translating from another Wikipedia – our content is licenced in a way that makes this obligatory. The simplest way to provide it is with a translated page template on the talk-page. Would you kindly provide that for Zec Dumoine and for any other page where you have translated without attribution from French or any other Wikipedia? If it's not clear to you how to do so, please ask (here is fine)! Thanks!

About translation, may I remind you that: "Wikipedia consensus is that an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing"? A sentence such as "With regret, the terrible Spanish grid of 1918 entirely decimated this community" is completely incomprehensible to the English-speaking reader – by putting stuff like that in Wikipedia you are just making work for other editors. If you don't have sufficient fluency in both languages to translate correctly and idiomatically, it's probably best to leave translation to those who do. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:40, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi again! Did you read this, I wonder? I asked you to provide attribution for the content you copied and "translated" from French Wikipedia at Zec Dumoine, as is required under the terms of our CC BY-SA 3.0 licence. It seems that you found time to make other edits, but not to deal with this; would you kindly now give this requirement priority over any other edit you may be thinking of making? As above, if you don't know how to do it, please ask here on this page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi! With surprise, you wrote: "Wikipedia consensus is that an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing". This statement is clearly not a consensus; it is rather a great exaggeration. Translation software has greatly improved over the past 25 years. And they continue to improve in particular through the Wiki concept where users give their feedback. Today, the main translation softwares are much more reliable. If you disagree on a specific sentence translated by software, it is your duty as a citizen to give feedback to the firm that sponsors the translation software. This initiative will benefit future users. Beyond this technology, the role of humans is to validate and to revise after a translation done with a software; this is what I apply in all writings published in several languages.
 * As for the article "Zec Dumoine", if you have elements of style to improve in the English version, it is your duty to do so; or add informative content. This will be better than threatening to delete the article concerning the 3rd largest ZEC (controlled operating zone) in Quebec in area.
 * The territory of this ZEC has a great reputation in the Amerindian history and the defense of the French colony in America thanks in particular to Fort Dumoine. Your initiative to create the discussion to have this article deleted from WP for the second time is an insult to the people of Témiscamingue, to the users of this ZEC and to the users of WP.Gaétan Veillette 00:07, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Fort Dumoine
Thank you for creating Fort Dumoine. Be aware that not all military installations meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I did not review the page for notabilty. I was alerted to it because of the error in the map. You had two errors: You had the wrong "map type" - it needed to be "Canada Quebec" insted of "Quebec, Canada". There may be a more specific map you can use instead, see Template:Location map for details on how to find existing maps. Also, you had the longitude sign incorrect. I fixed both problems. I also added a WikiProject template to the talk page. There may be other WikiProject templates that can be added to the page. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  22:34, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

 * However, for your benefit, this information is not intended for me. Rather, they should be addressed to those who are waging a publishing war by unfairly erasing the good work of their colleagues.
 * My contributions on the article "Île d'Orléans" (in English) are based on editorial rigor and research (especially geographic and historical); I invest less on other aspects (eg ecology, botany, fauna ...) but hoping that others will be interested.
 * This editorial methodology is the same for several thousand articles of my design on geographic elements on Wikipedia. We can be proud of the good work done to design an article on each significant watercourse or body of water, particularly for those in Quebec.
 * In the "See also" section of an article, it is normal to have a list of related items to help the reader navigate the vast documentation on Wikipedia. It is sad to note that other Internet users unnecessarily delete elements of this section without good justification.
 * Contrary to your insinuations, my contributions have never been "unconstructive", nor "disruptive"; rather they are harmonized with a long history of publishing, the respect of official rules and common sense. Be advised that if you continue to erase the good work of your colleagues you could lose your editing privileges. -- User talk:Veillg1 20:00, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation links on Quebec rivers
Hi, Thanks for your edits to Quebec rivers etc, I have noticed quite a few links to disambiguation pages (eg watershed and Bécancour on Gentilly River (Quebec)). Before you save could you check the wikilinks are pointing to the articles you intended?&mdash; Rod talk 09:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * @Rod. Thanks for your feedback. For the sake of rigor, before each publication, I do a double check. Maybe I missed a few things.Veillg1 (talk) 12:51, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * To help with your checking you can go to your Preferences, then Gadgets then tick "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" which highlights dab links in yellow/orange - On Rivière aux Chevreuils which you have just created Lyster and watersheds link to dab pages so using this gadget would enable you to spot them.&mdash; Rod talk 16:15, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Titles translations

 * I agree there is considerable original research and synthesis in this editor's work. In addition to the poor citation practices, there is idiosyncratic application of MOS guidelines (such as MOS:NOTSEEALSO and MOS:SECTIONORDER). Then there are the multiple redlinks and non-existent categories. And article naming seems haphazard -- some articles seem to be a weird mix of half-translated French name. For example Tortue South-West River for Rivière Tortue Sud-Ouest. Why half-translate the name. The English equivalent would be Southwest Turtle River (or maybe Turtle River Southwest). But Tortue South-West River appears to be complete invention. older ≠ wiser 16:54, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback, especially on how to translate (French => English) the titles of French toponyms. I have asked this question a few times to anglophone contributors; but, without obtaining any particular answer. Is there a particular standard (eg where to put the cardinal points in the title, eg South-West Tortue River)? Note that in Quebec, toponyms are formalized by the "Commission de toponymie du Québec" (Quebec Toponyms Board); according to their standards, toponyms must be registered in French, with some exceptions, particularly for indigenous communities. Thus, publishers must adopt their own policy for translating toponyms (French => English). For my part, in the absence of specific WP standards, as a general policy for the design of articles in English, French toponyms composed of more than two words remain in French (eg: Rivière du Petit Moulin). If there is no official standard, I agree to discuss on a titling standard for articles related to French toponyms.-- Veillg1 (Veillg1) 20:40, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If there is no authority for the English name of a stream, it would likely be best to use the French name as the article title. That would certainly be better than an invented half-translation. If sources are found later for an English name of the stream, it can be moved. older ≠ wiser 20:48, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Following the guidelines of the Government of Canada regarding the translation of geographical names and WP:ENGLISH, the correct translation would be Southwest Tortue River, unless a sources proves otherwise. It's okay to translate generics and cardinals; not specifics (unless it's cited in english). --Webfil (talk) 20:58, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well that is rather not a typical approach to translation, but I suppose it is to be expected in a multi-lingual nation such as Canada with a noted proclivity to tie itself into pretzel shapes to appease Francophone activists. Of course, Wikipedia is not bound to use the style and naming guidelines provided by other entities. In the absence of any evidence of an English name used in reliable sources, I still think it would likely be less confusing to use the native name. Or if there must be translations, then perhaps it should be taken up by WP:WikiProject Canada to establish consensus for practical guidelines that are aligned with existing WP standards and conventions. older ≠ wiser 21:38, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking at the Canadian Government's L'Atlas du Canada - Toporama] (French version} and The Atlas of Canada - Toporama (English version), there appears to be only one "official" name for geographic features, some of which are English, some French. Turtle Mountain is listed as such in both language versions (not Mont Turtle in the French version), whereas Rivière Tortue Sud-Ouest is listed under that name in both versions. To avoid translation problems/anomalies perhaps we need to use he "official" name for article titles, be that in English or French. --John B123 (talk) 23:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your thoughts on the title translations. According to the present discussion, it would be wiser as a general rule to keep the original version of the title (generally French) for toponyms of Quebec on the English project of WP; this would avoid the translation difficulties of certain titles for which the translation into English is not obvious. If it suits the community, the choice of titles during my future creation of geographic articles in English will comply to this guideline.--Veillg1 (Veillg1) 01:01, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Belle River citations
Hi, I saw a bit of what happened on Belle River, Saint Pierre and Miquelon and thought I might be able to help you cite things. It can be infuriating to be unable to find sources for something that you know is worth having an article for. I don't know if you need the help, but I have found a couple potential sources that may help, although one is unfortunately monetized. This link is to a download for a geological map of the islands in which you can make out the course of the river and the Anse du Governeur it empties into. This link has a bibliography for a study map which may be useful although not all the cited sources are on the web. Finally, this links a way to buy a map of the islands made by the French national geographic institute. I don't know if you care enough about the river article to look through these, and I don't know how sourcing stuff that isn't readily available on the web works on Wikipedia, but I do hope this helps and let me know if it does.

 * Thanks for your feedback. You suggest a lead to get references to the original article. it can certainly help if we are unable to find other sources.

Meyer Ryshpan moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Meyer Ryshpan, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Deletion discussion about Meyer Ryshpan
Hello Veillg1, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Meyer Ryshpan, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Meyer Ryshpan.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
