Bienvenue sur Wikipédia, Joalpe !

Bonjour, je vous accueille en tant que wikipédien bénévole.

Wikipédia est une formidable aventure collective, toujours en construction. La version francophone comporte aujourd'hui 2 667 324 articles, rédigés et maintenus par des bénévoles comme vous et moi. Vous allez y effectuer vos premiers pas : si vous avez besoin de conseils ou d'aide pour cela, n'hésitez pas à laisser un message sur le forum des nouveaux. Une réponse vous sera apportée avec plaisir !

Wikipédia repose sur des principes fondateurs respectés par tous :

1. Encyclopédisme et vérifiabilité (s'appuyer sur des sources reconnues) ;
2. Neutralité de point de vue (pas de promotion) ;
3. Licence libre et respect des droits d'auteurs (pas de copie ou plagiat) ;
4. Savoir-vivre (politesse et consensus) ;
5. N'hésitez pas à modifier (l'historique conserve tout).

Vous êtes invité à découvrir tout cela plus en détail en consultant les liens ci-contre →

Un livret d'aide à télécharger, reprenant l’essentiel à savoir, est également à votre disposition.

Je vous souhaite de prendre plaisir à lire ou à contribuer à Wikipédia.

À bientôt !

P.-S. Vos nouveaux messages seront affichés en bas de cette page et signés par leur expéditeur. Pour lui répondre, cliquez sur sa signature (aide).

Bandeau vérifiabilité sur Mauro Galvão

Bonjour,

J'ai enlevé le bandeau vérifiabilité sur Mauro Galvão : d'après le site des jeux olympiques, il a effectivement remporté une médaille d'argent en 1984. J'ai par contre mis le bandeau à sourcer en remplacement : il y a effectivement un problème de sources. Tpe.g5.stan (discuter) 13 juillet 2017 à 17:30 (CEST)

@Tpe.g5.stan Bonjour. C'est parfait. Merci d'avoir corrigé mon erreur. :) --Joalpe (discuter) 13 juillet 2017 à 18:47 (CEST)

Pas de problème, c'est naturel de se poser des questions en l'absence de source. Bonne continuation . Tpe.g5.stan (discuter) 14 juillet 2017 à 10:51 (CEST)

Merci à toi aussi

Bonjour, Joalpe, on s'est croisé mais on ne s'est pas parlé. Tu es nouveau (<-- en fait non, mais tout est ok) sur wp et tes apports sont (déjà) fort pertinents. Tu m'as plusieurs fois remercié, à mon tour je te remercie pour tes ajouts, notamment pour chaîne stochastique à mémoire de longueur variable qui est un article de haute volée ; si, si ;-). Je te signale, si tu ne le connais pas, l'existence du lieu de discussion mathématique qu'est le Projet:Mathématiques/Le Thé. Amicalement, --Epsilon0 (discuter) 15 juillet 2017 à 03:30 (CEST)

@Epsilon0 Merci de ce gentil mot. :) Je ne suis pas exactement nouveau sur Wikipédia --je débarque de Wikipédia en Portugais pour dégourdir un peu mon Français --, mais il y a quelques différences entre les deux projets que j'espère saisir vite. Surtout, n'hésitez pas à m'alerter si je commets une erreur quelconque. Là, j'ai commencé à utiliser Huggle. J'espère que ça ira bien. Bonne soirée. Amitiés. --Joalpe (discuter) 15 juillet 2017 à 03:41 (CEST)

PS: Peut-être cet essai que j'ai co-écrit vous intéressera: Pairing videos with math: Illustrating mathematical concepts in Brazil.

Je me joins à ces remerciements : c'est un plaisir de t'aider et de te voir contribuer sur notre projet Les sans pages, et ailleurs. Je suis aussi patrouilleur, si tu as des questions, n’hésite pas. Tu peux aussi aller sur le Bulletin des patrouilleurs pour voir l’actualité de ceux-ci . La page de discussion des Sans Pages est aussi très réactive ! Amicalement — GrandCelinien ^{• Discuter - Aide •} 19 juillet 2017 à 18:40 (CEST)

@GrandCelinien Ben là je rougis. Merci de ce chaleureux accueil et aussi de toute votre aide. Je suis content de voir comment les projets fonctionnent effectivement par ici. Je vais surveiller le bulletin des patrouilleurs -- d'ailleurs je m'étais déjà inscrit sur la liste des patrouilleurs. Je suis accroc de Huggle, donc ça va ensemble :) . Amitiés. --Joalpe (discuter) 19 juillet 2017 à 23:37 (CEST)

Vote sur une prise de décision

Bonjour,

Il me semble que votre participation active à Wikipédia est très récente et que vous n'aviez pas "au minimum 100 contributions dans l'espace principal de Wikipédia francophone, à la date d'ouverture du vote" c'est-à-dire le 17 juin 2017 et que votre vote sur Wikipédia:Prise de décision/Conditions d'attribution du droit de révocateur n'est pas valable.

Pouvez-vous le retirer ? Merci.

Cordialement. -- Habertix (discuter) 16 juillet 2017 à 12:05 (CEST).

@Habertix Je suis vraiment désolé! Je ne m'étais pas rendu compte des conditions de vote. La lutte contre le vandalisme est une activité que je tiens à coeur, donc j'ai tout juste voulu participer à cette prise de décision qui m'intéresse. En dépit de mon erreur, pour laquelle je suis à nouveau désolé, merci de m'avoir averti gentiment et laissé faire moi-même l'annulation de mon vote. Amitiés. --Joalpe (discuter) 16 juillet 2017 à 13:37 (CEST)

Bienvenue aux sans pagEs

 Bienvenue sur le projet des sans pagEs! Bonjour bienvenue sur le projet et bonnes contributions!--Nattes à chat (discuter) 18 juillet 2017 à 21:37 (CEST)

@Nattes à chat Merci. Ce projet est très important et je suis content d'y apporter mes contributions. D'ailleurs, voyant votre nom d'utilisatrice je me suis souvenu de votre demande de financement pour le projet "Let's fill the gender gap". A l'occasion, j'étais l'un des membres du comité d'évaluation. Comment ça a été? J'avais été impressionné par votre capacité de connexion avec des journalistes. Bravo. --Joalpe (discuter) 19 juillet 2017 à 03:15 (CEST)

Le monde est petit! Je crois que le démarrage du projet dans un contexte institutionnel et avec le nom Wikipedia est pour beaucoup dans cette connection avec des journalistes, et peut être aussi le fait que j'ai été un temps chroniqueuse pour le journal Le Temps. C'est de ce premier projet qu'est né le projet des sans pages, comme quoi petit poisson deviendra grand! Merci pour toutes ces contributions (je crois que tu détiens un record de participation ce mois ci!). --Nattes à chat (discuter) 19 juillet 2017 à 15:21 (CEST)

@Nattes à chat: Très bonnes nouvelles. Que ce "poisson" grandisse de plus en plus. (PS: Ça m'a fait rire que vous, qui portez le "chat" dans le nom, parliez en métaphore de poisson :) ). A+. --Joalpe (discuter) 19 juillet 2017 à 15:55 (CEST)

article orphelin

Bonjour Joalpe et bravo pour les nombreux articles publiés! Sais tu qu'ils ont tous été retweeté et facebookés? Sinon nombre de tes articles comportent la mention "article orphelin". Ce la signifie que moins de trois autres articles comportent des liens internes vers l'article dit "orphelin". Il faut donc trouver des articles dans lesquels mettre un lien interne vers ces articles orphelins. Bonne continuation!--Nattes à chat (discuter) 19 juillet 2017 à 15:17 (CEST)

@Nattes à chat: Progressivement je m'y mets. Merci d'organiser ce projet de façon amicale et sérieuse. --Joalpe (discuter) 19 juillet 2017 à 15:57 (CEST)

Allo allo

Bonsoir Joalpe, c'est très bon de vous trouver ici! Malheureusement, mon français est terriblement rouillé, mais je voudrais éditer un peu ici sans provoquer des problemes. Pouvez vous m'auxilier avec la révision de mes futures contributions? Merci.-- M. le Darwin ^Allô! 20 juillet 2017 à 17:35 (CEST)

@Darwinius Salut! Content de te voir par ici. Je suis tout à fait disponible à t'aider en ce dont tu aurais besoin. Mais lu ton message ci-dessus j'ai bien l'impression que tu te passeras vite de tout aide: te voici parfaitement francophone! Sur quel sujet penses-tu travailler? --Joalpe (discuter) 25 juillet 2017 à 16:18 (CEST)

@196.50.12.14 Bonjour. L'article que vous avez créé ne semble pas suivre les règles de ce projet pour la création de nouveaux articles. Je vous suggère fortement de regarder les pages d'introduction à Wikipédia, surtout le livret Participer à Wikipédia. Bonne continuation! --Joalpe (discuter) 20 août 2017 à 04:56 (CEST)

@196.50.12.14 Ceci est un projet collectif, donc tout est en théorie mon problème -- et celui de tout le monde d'ailleurs. Je vous prie de m'écrire sous un autre ton, puisque ce qu'on espère sur ce projet est que les éditeurs communiquent entre eux de façon civile et cordiale. Bonnes éditions. --Joalpe (discuter) 20 août 2017 à 05:03 (CEST)

France

Bonjour !!!

J'habite assez loin de Paris moi-même, mais je te conseille de contacter Utilisateur:Pyb. Il est à Paris, connait de nombreuses personnes et anime beaucoup la communauté parisienne. C'est sans doute la meilleure personne à contacter pour rencontrer des wikipédiens francophones en fin d'année ! Cordialement Anthere (discuter) 22 août 2017 à 22:52 (CEST)

@Anthere et @Pyb Bonjour! Merci de répondre si rapidement :) Peut-être, puisque l'occasion se présente, nous pourrions envisager une discussion pour voir si il y a des projets que nous pourrions peut-être développer ensemble. Je suis impliqué dans une bonne partie des activités du Groupe d'utilisateurs Wikimédia au Brésil (rapport d'activités en 2017. J'espère que nous aurons moyen d'organiser cette rencontre. Cordialement! --Joalpe (discuter) 25 août 2017 à 21:03 (CEST)

Traduction avec le gadget

L'avis que j'exprime n'implique que moi, je ne suis souvent pas représentative du projet Sans pages, tout en le suivant et y contribuant de temps en temps (je suis plus intéressée par le qualitatif que par le quantitatif). Vous ne semblez pas traduire l'intégralité des articles, et pourquoi pas, mais parfois la différence entre la masse d'informations présente en brésilien et en anglais est incroyablement différente. Par exemple pour Marilena Chaui, vous citez un seul Doct HC, alors qu'elle en 4, ce qui est important pour l'établissement d'une notoriété, vous ne rendez pas compte d'un immense paragraphe de controverses (qui apparaît dans une moindre mesure sur la page WP:en). Or l'utilisation de l'outil n'est plus possible si un autre contributeur voulait poursuivre. Vous ne semblez pas suivre les pages que vous créez ? Heleieth Saffioti est-elle actuellement professeure (née en 1934). Pour la footeuse Aline Villares Reis, la page anglaise en dit davantage... J'ai enlevé la Jeanne d'Arc brésilienne sur la page de Maria Quitéria, pour laquelle vous aviez mis une source qui ne mentionnait pas ce terme, mais pê avez-vous d'autres sources ? Bon mais comme je vous l'ai dit, je ne suis pas représentative du projet SP mais seulement de moi-même... bonne journée, --Pierrette13 (discuter) 27 août 2017 à 10:14 (CEST)

@Pierrette13 Bonjour! Merci d'avoir pris le temps de regarder mon travail. A ce que je comprends, nous sommes bien sur un projet collaboratif, donc -- et surtout -- n'hésitez pas à inclure sur les articles que j'ai créé tout ce qui vous paraitrait important. Bonnes contributions. --Joalpe (discuter) 27 août 2017 à 14:26 (CEST)

re-bonjour. Oui bien sûr pour l'aspect collaboratif, et je regarde vos sources et les interwikis de vos créations, d'où ma réaction, mais comme je vous le disais, on ne peut utiliser l'outil traduc qu'une fois, ce qui veut dire qu'une fois que vous avez fini, les ajouts éventuels doivent se faire manuellement. Je me demandais si vous pourriez regarder comment travaille @GrandCelinien c'est ici qui traduit un article par jour avec le gadget, peut-être que cela vous aiderait à prendre le mieux de l'outil gadget, qu'il utilise exclusivement. Mais évidemment,en ne créant qu'un article par jour, cela lui laisse le temps d'approfondir, son enjeu est sans doute plus proche du mien, bonne fin de journée (enfin je ne sais pas quelle heure il est chez vous je dois dire , --Pierrette13 (discuter) 27 août 2017 à 16:01 (CEST)

Structured Commons - Design feedback request: Multilingual Captions

Hello! You are receiving this message because you signed up for the the community focus group for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons.

The Structured Data on Commons team has a new design feedback request up for Multilingual Captions support in the Upload Wizard. Visit the page for more information about the potential designs. Discussion and feedback is welcome there.

On a personal note, you'll see me posting many of these communications going forward for the Structured Data project, as SandraF transitions into working on the GLAM side of things for Structured Data on Commons full time. For the past six months she's been splitting time between the two roles (GLAM and Community Liaison). I'm looking forward to working with you all again. Thank you, happy editing.
