Dis, ant, sur ta page utilisatrice (;D), elle appartient a qui, la peau sous la petite culotte rose a cote de quoi pose la sauterelle? t'as l'autorisation de la sauterelle pour mettre sa photo ? ;-) -Alvaro- 8 nov 2003 à 17:06 (CET)

Qui que tu sois , qui est 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.

Anthere is delicious

This adorable flattery is from MyRedDice :-) I wonder what came to his mind to write such a thing


Rinaldum : tu est une contributrice/admin précieuse a wiki.fr, et assez pdvn (sauf 1 sujet) ! .... w:fr:Utilisateur:Rinaldum

note, the one topic is feminism. Actually, I know of another :-)

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

  • Nominating ant for coord, for her bounteous energy and ease of reaching out to people. | I'd like to see the AMA develop into a 'conflict patrol' like the RC patrol, to keep an eye on conflicts and reach out to people to defuse situations before they are forced into formal conflict channels -- rather than waiting for people to come here and ask for they know not what help. +sj+ 20:53, 2004 Mar 20 (UTC)
  • I fart in your general direction. User:Cimon Avaro on a pogostick

  • Ironically, only Anthere has actually responded to the points in my letter to this list. And she has replied in a modest and impartial way which gives me much hope. She focused on the content and on the issues I raised, a lesson for all of us.User:RK 15 juin 2004.

D'autres

  • I can't say I'm overjoyed with some of the things you have done, but I have noticed that you go very far in being polite, something I try to do, but which I could at times stand to learn from you in. Thank you for that, Sam Spade 21:08, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • You are a liar and a phony. Lirath Q. Pynnor
  • I'm just too pissed off about Angela and Anthere's callous attitude towards human life here to even be able to discuss it rationally. I'm blocking myself a week, for starters. -- Seth Ilys 18:11, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not a photograph...

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

[edit] A love letter

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
Mark_Ryan: you have the spirit of a glistening silver brumby (horse), graceful, wild and carefree
Anthere0: I keep my personal love letter for bad times

[edit] Et l'harmonie dans tout ça ?

[edit] If you are mad after/for/at me

Read this if for some reasons, you are mad after me :-)

You're mad, you, aren't you :-) (very pleasant but reasonably undeniably mad) --Phil | Talk 07:14, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)
Undeniably...Well... Okay, here is for you Phil : for Phil
As usual I prefer to avoid commenting on your generally excellent English usage unless something about it makes me laugh. A person who is mad at you is angry with you; a person who is mad after you may have a sexual obsession. Eclecticology 18:50, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC) :-)
Or, they could be mad for you, which could be sort of both :-) It's the eyes ... they follow you around the screen --Phil | Talk 10:55, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)
Oh, mannnnnn, what a "slip" ! I am red from embarassement :-( RedFluffy
