L'article Liste des sommets appelés piton est proposé à la suppression

Bonjour, L’article « Liste des sommets appelés piton (page supprimée) » est proposé à la suppression (cf. Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Liste des sommets appelés piton/Suppression. Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes.

SOS parrainage !

Bonjour,

Tu m'avais accueillie lors de mon inscription sur Wikipédia en septembre 2012, j'espère que ta proposition d'aide tient toujours... J'aimerais ajouter une photo à une infobox : j'ai lu plusieurs fois différentes pages d'aide, notamment https://fr.wiki.x.io/wiki/Aide:Ins%C3%A9rer_une_image_(wikicode,_avanc%C3%A9) et https://fr.wiki.x.io/wiki/Mod%C3%A8le:Infobox_Biographie2 mais franchement, là, j'avoue que je bloque...

J'ai tenté de passer par Wikidata mais ça dépasse mes compétences (et ma patience !).

Il s'agit d'une Infobox Biographie2.

HELP ! :o)

--Spouchot (discuter) 15 mars 2016 à 23:44 (CET)

Bonjour, c'est résolu !! J'ai réussi à intégrer la photo dans Wikidata ! --Spouchot (discuter) 16 mars 2016 à 10:34 (CET)

Pour la Liberté de panorama

Pour la Liberté de panorama

Bonjour,

Tu as apposé la box Liberté de panorama, donc tu dois être sensibilisé au sujet. Voici le message que j'ai reçu de l'association Wikimédia France :

Depuis 2015, Wikimédia France s'est engagée pour soutenir la liberté de panorama dans le cadre du projet de Loi "Pour une République numérique".

Suite au succès rencontré sur la plateforme de consultation citoyenne, nous avons porté un amendement sur la liberté de panorama lors des débats à l'Assemblée nationale. Cependant le 21 janvier dernier, c'est un faux compromis qui est sorti de l'Hémicycle.

Dans quelques semaines, le texte arrivera devant le Sénat. Afin d'appuyer notre démarche et pour lever cette barrière à la contribution sur les projets Wikimedia, nous vous invitons à :
- relayer le site internet : http://libertedepanorama.fr
- signer la pétition et à la partager autour de vous : https://www.change.org/p/s%C3%A9nat-pour-une-libert%C3%A9-de-panorama-claire-et-sans-restriction

Donc, si tu en es d'accord, va signer cette pétition et diffuse l'information. Merci. Bon week end. CaptainHaddock ^BlaBla 19 mars 2016 à 11:36 (CET)

Bonjour, L’article « Castor (Cambridgeshire) » est proposé à la suppression (cf. Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Castor (Cambridgeshire)/Suppression. Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible. N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia. Chris a liege (discuter) 27 juin 2016 à 00:29 (CEST)

Sudachi

bonjour pixeltoo "On trouve souvent l'expression "quitter le nid" pour désigner le sudachi. Il s'agit d'une lecture erronée des caractères chinois : su, le nid, et dachi forme dérivée de tatsu qui veut dire : se lever ou partir." non ça n'est pas du tout un canular, faite traduire une page en japonais par google translate vous allez voir c'est souvent "quitter le nid" je crois qu'il faut expliquer pourquoi par exemple traduire ceci : https://retrip.jp/articles/55944/landing/ --3 septembre 2016 15:07 gmtJpbrigand (discuter) 3 septembre 2016 à 16:07 (CEST)jpbrigand

 Jpbrigand : Que Google translate fasse des erreurs de traduction j'en conviens. Que ce soit pertinent de le mentionner dans l'article c'est une autre affaire. Vous pouvez le mentionner à condition de trouver une source de qualité. Ce qui ne semble pas le cas du site retrip.jp Cordialement.--pixeltoo (discuter) 3 septembre 2016 à 16:22 (CEST)

 pixeltoo : il n'y a pas erreur de traduction, c'est bien le mot utilisé en japonais (suite à une lecture erronée par les japonais de caractères chinois), j'ai des sources en anglais avec la traduction "leaving the nest" par exemple http://www.kanjijapanese.com/fr/dictionnaire-japonais-anglais/sudachi, merci pour votre patience --3 septembre 2016 21:57 gmtJpbrigand

 Jpbrigand : Voici les kanji de la page en japonais sur l'arbre fruitier : 酢橘 et voici ceux de l'expression quitter le nid 巣立. Ils se prononcent peut etre de façon identique mais je ne vois pas trop comment la confusion a pu s'opérer au niveau de l'écriture. Cela dépasse mes compétences. Peut etre devriez vous demander conseil à la «maison du Thé». --pixeltoo (discuter) 4 septembre 2016 à 00:06 (CEST)

 pixeltoo :oui le mieux est demander à un spécialiste, ce que je fais auprès d'un ami linguiste à Tokyo, qui connait les agrumes, à bientôt donc. 4 septembre 2016 à 21:34 gmt Jpbrigand: suite : mon correspondant n'est pas disponible donc je supprime tout ce qui est philologie japonaise et je compléte simplement le paragraphe dénomination, sans autre explication.

pixeltoo voici la réponse de mon correspondant linguiste : "quitter le nid est une forme "atéji" de l'origine vraie de sudachi qui est 酢橘、tachibana acide, suppaï (adjectif d'acide) et tachibana qui était un nom générique pour désigner globalement les mikans. On garde le su 酢 de suppaï, on garde le tachi de tachibana (qui n'est qu'un seul caractère) et on colle pour obtenir sudachi. Un jour un poète passe et associe sudachi à quitter le nid parce que phonétiquement, cela peut évoquer deux autres caractères qui sont phonétiquement identiques. Le japonais a peu de sons et beaucoup d'homonymes. Et le tour de la confusion est joué. J'ai trouvé en japonais une référence à oiseau nid comme étant une forme atéji" http://fr.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Ateji / est-ce que je synthétise dans la page sudachi ? c'est vraiment fréquent qu'on tombe sur ces mots, ce serait utile pourles francophones qui travaillent avec des japonais, surtout en cuisine ? merci pour votre aide 5 septembre 2016 à 09:31 gmt Jpbrigand

 Jpbrigand : Bonjour, je vais demander conseil à la maison du thé car l'explication telle qu'elle est donnée est loin d’être claire et j'ai peur qu'une explication mal digérée conduise à une synthèse qui retranscrive mal la pensée de votre correspondant. Cordialement.--pixeltoo (discuter) 5 septembre 2016 à 10:45 (CEST)

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
 Jpbrigand : bonjour, que 巣立ち soit un ateji pour 酢橘 : pourquoi pas, mais il faut apporter une source de qualité qui montre son usage courant comme tel et, si possible, qu'il existe un lien de synonymie entre l'agrume et cette forme verbale. La référence que vous apportez dans l'article ne fait pas apparaître ce lien. Je l'ai donc retirée de l'article.
Merci de bien vouloir fournir une référence sérieuse qui ne se contente pas de rapporter que « sudachi » veut dire « quitter le nid » mais qui établit clairement que l'écriture « 巣立ち » désigne aussi l'agrume dont parle l'article, au moins qu'elle est couramment reconnue comme ateji de « 酢橘 ».--ContributorQ^(✍) 17 septembre 2016 à 15:53 (CEST)

 ContributorQ :, bonsoir, voici un lien sur l'association publique de la préfecture de Tokushima où on produit le sudachi, et qui décrit le sudachi 巣立ち figure dans le second paragraphe (dénomination) ainsi que 酢橘. http://tokushima-bussan.com/foods/sudachi/
il est écrit qu'il y a une équivalence phonétique avec "quitter le nid", 「巣立ち」「酢立」などと当て字されることもあります c'est un site tout ce qu'il y a de plus officiel --jpbrigandJpbrigand (discuter) 17 septembre 2016 à 22:45 (CEST)17 septembre 2016 21:42 gmt

Vous écrivez dans l'article Citrus sudachi : « On trouve souvent l'expression "quitter le nid" pour désigner le sudachi ». La source que vous citez, rapidement trouvée sur le web à l'aide d'un moteur de recherche, ne valide pas le « On trouve souvent » de votre affirmation et n'établit en rien la synonymie des deux écritures ; elle ne mentionne, de manière anecdotique, que le rapprochement homophonique.
De fait, c'est votre démarche que je désapprouve (j'ai déjà supprimé quelques-unes de vos sources dans le même article) : vous affirmez puis vous cherchez une source (n'importe laquelle, du moment que c'est écrit quelque part cela doit être vrai) pour soutenir votre affirmation, alors que la rédaction d'un article dans WP exige de rassembler les sources et d'en faire une synthèse équilibrée et vérifiable point par point. Alors, une nouvelle fois : apporter des références indépendantes, de qualité et qui valident clairement les affirmations exposées dans l'article pour que tout lecteur(rice) soit en mesure de vérifier le savoir présenté.
NB : vous avez recours à un pur argument d'autorité en invoquant votre correspondant linguiste de Tokyo et vous oubliez l'essentiel : lui demander de vous fournir des références solides pour sourcer l'article.--ContributorQ^(✍) 18 septembre 2016 à 09:54 (CEST)

 ContributorQ :, bonsoir, désolé généraliser ce qui m'arrive souvent n'est effectivement démontrable - on ne doit pas être nombreux à faire des recherches sur le sudachi - est-ce qu'on peut se mettre d'accord en supprimant "souvent" ? --jpbrigandJpbrigand (discuter) 28 septembre 2016 à 23:26 (CEST)28 septembre 2016 à 22.25 gmt

 Jpbrigand : Décidemment, vous n'avez pas compris ce que je m'efforce de vous faire comprendre : apporter des sources, et des sources de qualité, est l'exigence la plus essentielle — plus essentielle que la qualité rédactionnelle ; ce qui ne signifie pas qu'il faille négliger cette-ci — pour assurer la crédibilité des articles, donc du projet tout entier. En l'occurence, l'affirmation que vous tenez tant à faire figurer dans l'article est anecdotique au regard des sources dont vous disposez pour la soutenir (une seule source, certes qualifiée, mais qui est imprécise quant au contenu de l'affirmation que vous voulez maintenir dans le texte). De plus, aussi peu étayée par un contenu qui relèverait de la présentation d'un savoir, cette affirmation apparaît comme une information anecdotique par rapport à la facture scientifique de l'article. Par conséquent, je vous suggère plutôt de supprimer ce passage ; en l'état, il n'apporte rien à la compréhension du sujet de l'article.--ContributorQ^(✍) 30 septembre 2016 à 23:14 (CEST)

Jean Danjou

Bonsoir,
Honnêtement, en 13 ans passés à la Légion étrangère dont plus de 3 ans à la Direction historique et du patrimoine de la LE, je n'ai jamais trouvée aucune trace d'un tel surnom. Je trouve d'ailleurs surprenant que Pierre Montagnon l'évoque dans le livre que vous citez puisque dans ses autres production (comme "Légionnaires d'hier et d'aujourd'hui" que je viens de consulter à l'instant) il n'en parle jamais. Le "La Légion étrangère - histoire et dictionnaire", dirigé par AP Comor n'en fait pas mention non plus. Ce dernier, étant pourtant auteur d'un livre sur Camerone, n'aurait pas manqué de le mentionner s'il avait trouvé trace de ce surnom.
Je maintiens donc que ce surnom n'est pas établis et qu'il n'y a pas assez de preuves qui l'attestent.
Cordialement --Eric (discuter) 18 septembre 2016 à 20:31 (CEST)

 Davric : Ce n'est pas parque vos source ne le mentionne pas. Que le surnom n'est pas attesté. La source est accessible sur internet. Votre attitude est incompréhensible. --pixeltoo (discuter) 18 septembre 2016 à 20:36 (CEST)

Je suis désolé si je suis incompréhensible, mais quand vous dites Ce n'est pas parque vos source ne le mentionne pas. Que le surnom n'est pas attesté, je pourrais vous répondre la même chose : "ce n'est pas parce que vous trouvez 1 source qui le mentionne que c'est attesté (ou vrai)". Il me semble même qu'il y a même une règle sur la nécessité de croiser les sources (ici). Le croisement des sources est la nécessité de vérifier l'information dans plusieurs sources distinctes. Hors dans le cas présent, je n'ai jamais rencontré de telles sources, ni en travaillant pour le Musée de la Légion, ni en passant du temps à Chalabre,ni en consultant de nombreux ouvrages sur le sujet (y compris du même auteur) et sur l'époque. En outre, le livre que vous citez n'est pas "accessible" sur Internet, on peut juste l'y acheter.
J'insiste donc, si le capitaine Danjou avait bien une main en bois, il n'y a rien qui permet d'attester qu'il ai eu un tel surnom. Je suis preneur de l'extrait ( numéro de page de l'édition, voire scan du texte) afin de creuser cet élément qui ne me semble nullement prouvé, même pas par Montagnon lui-même qui ne le reprend pas dans ses autres ouvrages.
cordialement --Eric (discuter) 18 septembre 2016 à 21:08 (CEST)

Bonjour, Les deux livres que j'ai cités en diff sont disponible sur Google Books ici. Et là.--pixeltoo (discuter) 18 septembre 2016 à 21:53 (CEST)

Modèle:Que faire

Bonjour, je fais du ménage dans les redirections de modèles et en particulier les redirections "perso" qui ne devraient pas se trouver dans l'espace modèle. Que faut-il faire du Modèle:Que faire qui est utilisé dans quelques pages Utilisateurs ?

Merci d'avance de ta réponse. --FDo64 (discuter) 9 novembre 2016 à 16:57 (CET)

 FDo64 Tu peux le retirer. J'ai perdu qui permettait de le mettre à jour.--pixeltoo (discuter) 11 novembre 2016 à 18:47 (CET)

Bonjour, j'hésite à simplement supprimer cette redirection qui est utilisée dans 141 pages utilisateurs, générant ainsi un lien rouge à la place d'une liste qui leur sert peut-être... Ne faudrait-il pas la faire pointer vers une palette à créer en y recopiant le contenu de ta page Utilisateur:Pixeltoo/Template:Que faire ? Qu'en penses-tu ? --FDo64 (discuter) 12 novembre 2016 à 15:15 (CET)

L'article Aerides phongii est proposé à la suppression

Bonjour, L’article « Aerides phongii » est proposé à la suppression (cf. Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Aerides phongii/Suppression. Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible. N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia. Chris a liege (discuter) 14 février 2017 à 01:06 (CET)

Bonjour, L’article « Modèle:Palette Partis politiques français » est proposé à la suppression (cf. Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion modèle:Palette Partis politiques français/Suppression. Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes.
