[edit] Featured Article: 1755 Lisbon earthquake

[edit] fr:Tremblement de terre de Lisbonne de 1755

You're quite welcome ! ;=)

I've already translated several other featured articles, including George Fox or Jonathan Wild, but yours was by far the most interesting I've ever worked on. Please keep up the great work !

Take care,

Manchot sanguinaire in Paris

Hello again from France,
I'm pleased to inform you that the translation of your article has been elected as an "article de qualité" itself ! (i.e a French featured article) The vote was almost unanimous, and so the article now belongs to this highly selective category (210 articles out of about 110,000).
The new status of the article is visible thanks to a special banner at the bottom of the page.
Congratulations again !

[edit] Welcome back

I hope you've been well. There's still space for another great article like those you've worked on in the past. Cheers, -Will Beback 08:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

What a kind message, and what a pleasant surprise that you noticed! Many thanks Sandover 21:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 17:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I can be lazy about this, I know. Good recommendations. Thanks. Sandover 17:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
No problem. Just thought I might FYI you as one of the RC patrollers. The lack of edit summaries always stands out to us. Kukini 01:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of POV paragraph

Please re-read WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:BLP. Have Reliable Sources commented on this particular vote of theirs? Jayjg (talk) 16:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, have you read the citations? The copy is referenced. Sandover 16:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not refer to the removal of policy-violating material as "censorship" and "vandalism", which itself is a violation of WP:CIVIL. Please see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Sandover, Senate vote, and habeas corpus Jayjg (talk) 16:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Sandover - the problem with your well-sourced section is that it refers to one vote. A Congressperson typically votes on hundreds of bills each year. Can you imagine what an article on a Senator or Representative would look like if each vote had a full section? ("Long" comes to mind. "Tedious" is another possibility.) If/when a Congressperson authored a bill or played a significant role in a bill (as cited by news articles), a paragraph (but maybe not even a section) is certainly appropriate. But simply voting for a bill is NOT newsworthy enough to justify a section. John Broughton | Talk 18:25, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
