Hi Ponyboy, I just added a few biographical facts to the Goldmann article. Hopwever, I am no expert and I feel, someone with more knowledge of the man should continue. Maybe, you want to add some info? As it was, the article just started with info on Goldmann's teachings. Regards --Thomas Ruefner 12:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have (nor have I ever had) any desire to speak with someone who is egomaniacally and unreasonably committed to misbehaving on Wikipedia. Any further insults and/or provocation from you on my talk page will be deleted. If you continue to be unable to rise above pettiness, then I suggest that we seek out dispute resolution ([1]). If you're still tempted, please consider the following:
Making bold edits
"Wikipedians often make sweeping changes to pages in order to improve them - most of us aim to be bold when updating articles. While having large chunks of text you've written removed or substantially rewritten can be frustrating, simply making edits that noticeably alter the text or content of a pages should not be immediately labeled vandalism."
Harassment or personal attacks
"We have a clear policy on Wikipedia of no personal attacks, and harassing other contributors is not allowed."
Because you are unable to accept the English you write being edited by other users (even though English is not your native language), the following link should help you to write articles in English. Wikipedia's Language Help Desk: [3]
Hi, I saw your edits to [4] and more, and I'd like to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies - we're a group of editors who are working together to improve LGBT-related articles. Would you be interested?Zigzig20s 01:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for noticing. mais, n'ayant pas pour langue maternelle le français, i'd really only be qualified to edit english articles. but the english group sounds great. thanks for the invite.
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
My pleasure. Zigzig20s 05:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
écrire des articles en français, ça me botte. mais je reconnais que ce serait bien si un natif de la langue les vérifiait.[reply]
Sure, I will when I have time. I don't write much on the French Wikipedia myself though. BTW your diet sounds terrible - way too many carbs. (jk) Zigzig20s 16:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
pas de soucis pour les carbs, comme je suis végétarien je mange pas mal de légumes... --ponyboy 19:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
ben c'est pas souvent qu'un français trouve le végétarianisme nice ! alors merci :) --ponyboy 18:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Moi-même je m'y mets...(I would do with some advice perhaps).Zigzig20s 21:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
archi-facile si tu habites aux é-u ou même en angleterre. moins facile à paris/lyon/&c., et bien plus difficile ailleurs en france, je crois. si tu veux vraiment des infos plus précises, n'hésite pas à me contacter à partir de mon compte friendster ou de mon blog. --ponyboy 22:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
huh, that's odd. it should work if you go to my blog -> my profile -> link to the left that leads to my friendster acct, from whence you should be able to send me a message (via friendster)... --ponyboy 22:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well then I'd have to sign up?Zigzig20s 22:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
ah je vois, je me doutais... --ponyboy 23:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome Ponyboy, to the WikiProject France! Please direct any questions about the project to its talk page. If you create new articles on France-related topics, please list them at our announcement page and tag their talk page with our project template ((WikiProject France)).
A few features that you might find helpful:
The project's Navigation box points to most of the pages in the project that might be of use to you.
Most of the important discussions related to the project take place on the project's main talk page; you may find it useful to watchlist it.
We've developed a number of guidelines for names, titles, and other things to standardize our articles and make interlinking easier that you may find useful.
Wikipedia:France-related tasks
You can help! Vous pouvez aider ! Here are some France related tasks you can do:
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of the more experienced members of the project, and we'll be very happy to help you. Again, welcome, and thank you for joining this project!
A taskforce dealing with LGBT publications has been proposed. If you are interested in getting involved, consider signing up at the projects' page.
Our core topics list is looking good. It's still a bit slim on LGBT history articles, non-American LGBT media, and important LGBT biographies. Do you have suggestions?
David Shankbone has done an amazing job taking photographs of LGBT celebrities. Thanks David! People interested in collaborating with him and setting up a photography taskforce should contact him or drop a note at the project's talkpage.
The LGBT Portal still needs a bit of love and attention :-). Again, any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles can be added to the gallery here. Volunteers to help out with the Portal are extremely welcome- make yourselves known on the Portal's talkpage. Updates to the current news items are helpful.
Deputy coordinator elections
WikiProject LGBT studies is looking for new Deputy Coordinators to help out with various essential tasks in organising the project. To nominate yourself or contribute to the discussion, please go to: Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Coordinator/May 2007. The deadline for nominations is May 5 and the elections will last a week after that.
The elections will be pretty simple- everyone just endorses their favourite candidate(s). The three with the most votes at the end of the week are the new deputy coordinators, who will assist Dev920 in keeping the project running.
To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, just ask Dev920. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let her know.
Monthly Challenge: June Stub Review! Take a moment and sift through the roughly 3,600 Stub-class LGBT articles. Are they still stubs? If not, make an assessment change. Even better, do you see anything you can add/edit to increase the rating? Let's see if the project can lower the number of stubs down below 3,000!
Project News
WP:LGBT Exceeds 200 Members!!
Two editors have been selected by project members as co-coordinators. Their duties are still a bit unclear, but having a few more janitors around the project will help keep us running smoothly. Please feel free to message Fireplace or SatyrTN if you have any project questions or concerns.

Monthly Challenge: Submit an article to our Jumpaclass competition! Languishing unloved, it is a great way to improving that article you always meant to improve but never got round to. Challenge someone else to go head to head and see who can improve their article most!
Our Deputy Coordinators have been doing a fabulous job so far. Well done!
The portal is now looking very snazzy, well done to Fireplace for all his hard work.
The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now beed reduced by 20%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect!
The Core Topics is now largely complete. The original aim of getting some kind of publication out of it is extremely long term - any short term uses we can make of it are welcome on the project talkpage.
A suggestion was made this month that we start our own wiki. Although the conclusion was that we felt we were a part of Wikipedia rather than a stand alone organisation, it seems there is an LGBT wiki already, at http://lgbt.wikia.com/wiki/Main_page . Members may be interested in getting involved there.
The Collaboration is now getting rather short on suggestions. Article nominations for August through December would be welcome on the talkpage.
There is now a list of Missing LGBT Topics. Help is needed to work out which topics can be made redirects or need to be created. Please contribute is you can.
An LGBT banner that was created for Wikipedia's internal ads system has now been adapted so it can be placed on blogs and websites. The html is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LGBT"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Qxz-ad48.gif" height="53" width="445"></a> Please credit Miranda and link to her userpage: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Miranda">Miranda</a>. The banner can be seen in action here. If you have a blog or a website, please consider adding the banner, either in a post or as part of your profile.
To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let Dev920 know.
Hello there, would you be interested in setting up an lgbt literature taskforce for the lgbt studies wikiproject? I've been working on lgbt-themed novels and it would be great if there was a batch of people doing that too. Thought u might be interested...Zigzig20s 08:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria.
It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, ChrisDHDR (17:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).[reply]
It's been one high aiming month! The French WikiProject and related pages have been aiming high for Christmas - and have received an equal number of presents in return!
A new page has been setup (WikiProject France/Links) to provide an index of the Projects/Portals pages (as well as helping newbees). When creating any pages in the Project/Portal namespace, please add them to the index page. This page also give WP:FRANCE members a handy watchlist.
The project has recently experienced a complete redesign. The Outreach department has also undergone a major expansion, and this newsletter is the result of that.
The review department is currently under development, with several new proposals underway. Internal peer review had begun on the page of the project's Review Department. The department currently provides a centralized platform off all currently open reviews throughout the project (Featured Articles, Peer Reviews, Good Articles, Articles for Deletion, Categories for Discussion, etc.)
A new task force has been introduced: the Paris task force. Any users interested in contributing to the taskforce can join on the project page.
There is a current discussion about merging the French Communes WikiProject into ours. This communes project will be organised as a task force.
Several new user has joined the project this last month: Jordan Timothy James Busson, Djwilms and Mcewan. Welcome! Please come stop by the talk page to join in our discussions.
This is the new project newsletter, covering months August through to October, which will contain information regarding new Good and Featured articles, recent project changes, general related news, and recent proposals.
If you've just joined, add your name to the Members section of Wikipedia:WikiProject France. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!
Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the creation. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
