"Wikipédia sommes Charlie" implies Wikipedia is first person plural. As a single entity in the third person it should be "est". Collect (talk) 19:37, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I debated that with myself; I figured Wikipedia was a collective, but maybe that doesn't work in French?  Serendi pod ous  19:40, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Um, the notes for that entry are a little over the top - is that kind of editorialising appropriate for this page? I am not minimising the atrocity at all, just the way the notes describe it.--ukexpat (talk) 20:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * This isn't an article; the NPOV rules don't apply.  Serendi pod ous  20:02, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The traffic report and featured content section are given more leeway than news and notes or in the media so they can make what can be a very dry topic into something worth viewing each week. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:45, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I like the multilingual pun "We (-kipedia) sommes Charlie" myself. Circéus (talk) 12:13, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The New York Daily News could have had a headline News sommes Charlie which would be a great pun - but that is another matter. Collect (talk) 13:39, 17 January 2015 (UTC)


 * It's surprising the shooting page only got a third of the hits that the Charlie Hebdo page, since one would assume it's the latter that people were looking for. What kept them from clicking through? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 19:40, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably just that most of the people were browsing and not all that interested in following the story in depth.  Serendi pod ous  20:31, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
