Qui que tu sois , qui es tu ? Yves
I am a french m:wikiwoman of 37. I live in a small village, Malintrat, near a medium size french city called Clermont-Ferrand, with my husband and my three kids (two boys and a girl, between 2 months and 9 years old).
I worked until recently in a small firm whose activity was related with decision tools, in finances, insurance, agriculture and agri-business. My part was in the agri-business. Unfortunately, my firm had to stop activity at the end of 2005 and I was subsequently fired, along with all employees. I now enjoy being at home, with my new baby (the two older kids keep me busy as well), my computer (or rather my husband laptop) and my garden.
I have been an editor since february 2002. I first started editing only the english wikipedia anonymously, then under the pseudonym Anthere, then joined the french wikipedia when it had possibly 200 stubs. In english, I mostly focused in editing, while in the french wikipedia, I also took a lot of time building the project and the community. At that time, all international wikipedias were very small and not even on the same software than the english one. Most of my edits were in the following areas : agriculture, environment, ecology... I also enjoyed writing on more "touchy" issues, such as the Iraq war, the veil in France or commercial war over GMOs...
In summer 2002, I decided that this project HAD TO BE multilingual... or not to be... and I joined the mailing list and started editing a no man's land called meta meta in order to help this to happen. Since then, I have not quit trying to take care of all projects and all languages.
I am a hopeless Wikipediholic. I do not dare test myself anymore, last time (about 3 years ago), it was over 100 and it is worse now.
You may find some explanations about my pseudonyme there.
In 2004, I joined the founding mediation commitee on the english wikipedia and wrote quite a lot of things about mediation and conflict resolution, one of those being Wikipedia:civility.
While a sysop on meta, en:wikipedia, fr:wikipedia and commons, I have been a meta:steward for more than two years now.
I am not editing articles much now as I do not have much time to go on doing it.
My main contribution on the project for now a year has been as a board member and vice-chair of Wikimedia Foundation Inc. In itself, it is using a lot of my time, more than I ever gave in the more than 3 years I have been here. A lot of it is invisible, though some may be seen through Wikimedia Quarto, the letter of Wikimedia Foundation (deprecated). In october 2004, I also became a member of the french association board (Wikimedia France).
What I love to do best ? Talk to people (sometimes quite hotly I confess), meet new people, act like a bridge between languages and projects and organise things.
Please rather talk to me gently, I take things personally.
Editor on the french-speaking mostly and the english-speaking wikipedia; I am also very fond of meta.
Sysop on fr: since summer 2002, meta: since winter 2003, en: since june 2003, commons february 2005.
In january 2004, I became part of the Mediation Committee on the english wikipedia.
Member of Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates since spring 2004. Unfortunately no time to be active. But from what I heard, I have a certain ability for argumentation.
m:Steward since april 2004. From now on, potentially sysop on all projects. For a reasonable price, I can unsysop any of your worse ennemies.
Vice-chair of Wikimedia Foundation Inc m:Board of Trustees on the 13th of june 2004. Reelected on the Wikimedia Foundation board in july 2005 for two additional years.
Member of Wikimedia France board since october 2004. Renewed in april 2005. Renewed in April 2006.
I was also for a while the moderator of the french-speaking mailing list for most of its first year of existence. Dropped the job to someone else :-).
...else than on wikipedia proper...

Fuzheado: but Anthere, you should know you are indeed an unusual wikipedian, because you will bend over backwards to see the good side of people, which is why you are so valued a member of the community (seriously!) IRC 22/02/2004

That picture of the grasshopper on your front page disturbs me :-). Why can't you use a ferret or something cute like that? :) ugen64 20:29, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)

Just thought I would say hello: I started writing an essay about civility and dispute handling for my userspace, and then I went to reread Wikipedia:Civility and see you have already said most of what I wanted to say and better. So a smile and a wikithanks to you; unfortunately I'm no photographer to leave you lovely pictures on your userpage, so words will have to do. Mindspillage. 19/06/2005
Merci beaucoup For all you do Je vous remercie For all we see

Mark_Ryan: awwww i'll send ya a love letter if you want
Anthere0: yes, please :-)
Mark_Ryan: To my sweet, dear Anthere... you make me happy when you enter the channel. Some sanity in a field of extraordinary insanity. A bluebell in a paddock of thickets...
Anthere0: A bluebell in a paddock of thickets ?
Anthere0: what is thickets ?
Mark_Ryan: Anthere0: thorny horrible stuff
Mark_Ryan: like roses but without the nice flowers :)
Anthere0: please go on to raise my spirit

Anthere0: I keep my personal love letter for bad times
y a un moment où ça me gonfle d'entendre parler de communauté libre et consensuelle pour écarter toute idée de règle. Alors qu'à la base une règle c'est fait pour l'harmonie, pas pour emmerder le monde ... w:fr:Utilisateur:Aurevilly.
Read this if for some reasons, you are mad after me :-)

Cette page est une page PERSONNEL. Ce serait un faux pas que d'y laisser des commentaires. Par ailleurs, je ne visite pas habituellement cette page, et je ne serais pas informée d'un message qui y serait déposé. En conséquence de quoi, si vous souhaitez me laisser un message, merci de le faire dans la page de discussion associée à mon nom d'utilisateur. Merci. Anthere (talk) 21:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC).
Par ailleurs, je tiens à préciser que M. Petit est dans l'erreur en affirmant que le message qu'il m'a laissé a été supprimé. Ce message est visible ici, et l'historique de la page montre que clairement qu'aucun message n'a été supprimé et que contrairement à ce qu'affirme M Petit, il n'a pas été ajouté juste après son coup de téléphone.
Ce genre de confusion se rencontre couramment chez les personnes ne comprenant pas le fonctionnement du projet.
