[edit] Please sign your posts with ~~~~ and use the + tab for new sections

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

BTW: The easiest way to start a conversation on a talk page (or pages like the village pump) is to use the + tab at the top of that page. When you added Talk:Louis_XVI_of_France#Austrian hate and Fear??, you goofed. Your header had only one equal sign on the right. This caused the server to treat the second equal sign on the left as part of the title. I corrected that problem for you. Will (Talk - contribs) 06:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cataphile

Salut!

Thanks for your edits to the Cataphile article. I wanted to note that some of your translations from French aren't exact. For example, "carrieres" does translate to "careers", but only in the sense of working (i.e., someone might say "I am thinking about a career in translation"). But "carrieres" in the sense that you mean would be "quarry" in English. A good website for these kind of things is http://wordreference.com/ (and see http://www.wordreference.com/fren/carrieres for the example about "carrieres").

I've also tried to edit the part on tagging to be more neutral, i.e. not pro-tagging but not against either. All links go at the bottom, in the links section rather than the content section, so I left the FC link there and deleted the other. If you have other links to add, please do so! Only remember that wikipedia isn't for advertising, and every link should bring something new to the page -- either more information, or photos, history, different points of view, etc.

I put back the part about rumors, because I don't understand why you deleted it. So if you really think it doesn't belong, please explain why, either on my talk page or on the article's talk page.

And, lastly, when you edit you'll see a box at the bottom that says 'Edit summary' -- here is the place to tell other editors what you've changed in one small sentence.

Happy editing! -- hibou 09:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

The parts I deleted where because I didn't quite understand what you meant. If you re-add them, can you explain more? I'll add a 'rumors' section per your suggestion :) Thanks -- hibou 12:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Also, about being neutral and tagging. I've edited this part once again, but if you could add more it would be appreciated. Write now the article says:

Tagging, a form of graffiti consisting in a stylized signature, is a controversial subject for cataphiles, and urban explorers in general. Some cataphiles tag but others look down it as a form of degradation.

So as you can see I've explained why some cataphiles don't like tagging. But I don't quite understand why some cataphiles do like tagging -- so if you understand and want to add that in, or explain to me and I'll add it, that would be great. Thanks -- hibou 12:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
