User talk:Rorro

Hello Rorro, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. For ideas of what to put on your user page, see Wikipedia:User page.

If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angela . 01:07, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks ! I'm not so new here, though... _R_ 01:39, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Nice work spotting and tagging Fdz. Just a note, though: it saves us sysops some time if you leave the original content intact, even if it's complete nonsense. Thanks, —No-One Jones ^(m) 20:53, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Bemani

I hate to say that your edit is not a good edit at all, the category Bemani artists is for composers who contributed music to the Bemani games. This article also serves as a general introduction for the category of Bemani games.

The category links are prposefully placed there.

I am reverting the edits. SYSS Mouse 22:07, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

French communes disambiguation

I just saw that you moved Pont-l'Évêque, Calvados to Pont-l'Évêque (Calvados). In fact, the common disambiguation format for French communes, when needed, is "commune, departement", not "commune (departement). I am reverting the move. Cheers! olivier 13:36, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

I find the former ugly and, more to the point, I don't think it conforms to any usage. Where's this policy ? I thought the only existing policy on place names disambiguation was solely for the USA. IMHO Pont-l'Évêque (Calvados) conforms to general policies on disambig (i.e. Correct title (disambiguating element)). _R_ 14:18, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I cannot see your answer. olivier 14:16, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry. I should have written 'I'm answering'.

I agree with you, there is no written policy, or at least not yet, on this point. Discussions have been massive on the topic. You can have a look at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (city names), and at the very long associated talk page. In fact, no general consensus has yet been found for the issue. This being said, the format "commune, departement" conforms to the general usage in the English Wikipedia, in terms of towns, cities, communes, for places located in most countries, including as you have mentioned, the USA.

I have been working quite a bit on the French communes in the last weeks, and I can assure you that at least 90% of the French communes which are disambiguated, are disambiguated as "commune, departement". Just browse around and you will see by yourself. Again, it is not a defined policy, but the most common de facto usage.

Regarding your point of Correct title (disambiguating element): the "disambiguation element" is generally describing the "correct title", as in Mars (god) and Mars (planet), not giving a precision about the "correct title". So I could imagine, along the same line, having Pont-l'Évêque (commune) and Pont-l'Évêque (cheese) for instance. Unfortunately, there are 2 communes called "Pont-l'Évêque", one in Calvados and one in Oise (see Pont-l'Évêque).

The bottom line is: I slightly prefer "commune, departement", but first of all, I want to have an homogeneous practice across the English Wikipedia. If you want to change "commune, departement" to "commune (departement)", then I would suggest that you first look for other people's opinion, for instance by asking on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (city names) and start doing all the changes once you have received some positive feedback. Otherwise, you might have much more people reacting and asking you why you did that. Conclusion: I suggest continuing the usage of "commune, departement". olivier 14:54, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Philippi

Article: fr:Philippes
Corresponding English-language article: Philippi
Worth doing because: Much more extensive and up to date (by a century!) than English-language article. The French-language article will soon be a featured article. _R_ 20:47, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I did the called-for cleanup: not a lot of it needed. Thanks Adam. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:11, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

Peru region table

Hello. Thank you so much for creating that Peruvian region table template. You just made my life much easier. Unfortunately, I've been trying to migrate all the old Peruvian region tables to the tables used on Cusco region or Arequipa region, because they use the standard used on US states and cities, and are better for users with disabilities. I really would appreciate it if you created a template with the table used in Cusco region, and also one for the table used in Camaná province, because I don't know how to do that. Again, thank you. Greetings, --Tuomas ^hello 19:51, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

Conditional templates

I can't seem to get it to work on {{Infobox Movie}}. I'm using the same method as your Peru template. Can you take a look and let me know what I screwed up? (It's commented out right now.) – flamurai (t) 01:10, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
