Soleil Production

Bonsoir,

Je suis d'accord sur le fait que le site editotaku ne soit pas ou peu connu et que les captures d'écran ont été faite sans l'accord des ayants droits. Après réflexion, je pense donc que tu as raison sur le fait de retirer le lien.

Quand à bashfr n'étant une ressource "libre de droits", je sais juste ce que le site indique dans sa bannière: """ Toutes les citations présentes sur ce site ont été postées sous la responsabilité exclusive des personnes nous les ayant soumises. BashFR.org, ne pouvant garantir cette origine, n'endossera aucune plainte à ce sujet. """

A mon sens, sauf si c'est un travail copyrighté volé, les droits des messages appartiennent à leurs auteurs respectifs. Ces mêmes auteurs sont cependant anonymisés lorsqu'ils postent sur le site.

D'où le flou artistique, d'où "l'emprunt" dudit scénariste.

Et pour rendre ça encore plus flou, l'interface où l'on soumet les messages indiquent ceci: """ En postant une citation, vous acceptez qu'elle puisse être modifiée, puis publiée sur le site ou ailleurs. Vous n'avez plus de droit de modification dessus et nous pouvons en faire ce que nous voulons. Na. """

Ce qui n'a aucune valeur légale non plus... Bref, si tu trouves une meilleure façon d'exprimer les choses, je suis preneur :-)

Suite Adium

J'ai pris compte du précédent message.

Je voulais donc savoir en quoi les tutoriaux (ou tutoriels) ne sont pas acceptés excepté l'idée que ce n'est pas un recueil de tutoriaux, nous sommes des utilisateurs d'Adium (Pour ma part) et nous voulons aider des personnes qui débuteraient dans l'utilisation de ce logiciel. Si vraiment sa n'a pas sa place où peut on les placer pour aider ces mêmes utilisateurs ?

Puis-je au minimum mettre un lien vers le forum qui propose ses tutoriels ?

Ensuite j'ai vu à mon souvenir une modification d'Emoticône(s) par Émotionnons .. Pourquoi ?

Mais par ailleurs je te remercie pour les corrections (grammaire, orthographe et autres ...)

ColasV (d) 3 mai 2008 à 20:47 (CEST)

Re

Tu as raison. Puis je mettre un lien vers ces tutoriels dans la page?

Safari embarque aussi un logiciel d'orthographe mais pour la grammaire c'est des fois un peu moins beau

Sinon Merci

Salut je voulais savoir pourquoi avait-tu supprimer l'ensemble des tutoriaux pour les Xtras d'Adium merci. ColasV (d) 3 mai 2008 à 16:34

Aide sur la page "Socialisme municipal"

Merci pour ton aide. Je tiens compte de tes renseignements et remarques. Les deux ref nécessaires seront complétées. Pierre-Yves Schanen (d) 28 février 2008 à 00:14 (CET)

Visiblement je ne parviens pas à intégrer correctement les références demandées dans le système des notes. Peux-tu réintervenir sur la page pour lier les notes du textes avec les références que j'ai mis en note? Qui décide d'enlever le bandeau sur le manque de sources?

Merci Pierre-Yves Schanen

Modification de la page RISQUES EN SECURITE

Bonjour, Il me semble que l'ajout que j'avais fait concernant les techniques d'évasion était intéressant. Je ne comprends pas sa suppression pur et simple de cette page. N'accepteriez-vous aucune contribution extérieur ?

Wikifox

Bonjour Manu. La version pour FF 1.5 n'est pas compatible avec les versions antérieures, mais c'est vrai qu'il vaut mieux que je propose le thème adapté à la dernière version... Dès que tu auras trouvé la solution du labyrinthe, je la mettrai en ligne ;). Airelle 22 février 2006 à 18:38 (CET)
PS : j'adore aussi le chocolat ! ;)

Comme on ne va pas priver les autres indéfiniment à cause d'un bête labyrinthe, j'ai publié les bonnes versions de Wikifox. Pour rappel, la version bleue comporte une petite surprise, mais je peux te faire un thème personnalisé : il me suffit d'une belle photo ! ;-) Airelle 23 février 2006 à 18:05 (CET)

J'ai bien précisé que ce thème avait pour base Noia (c'est même précisé, en gros et en gras, dans le titre de la page) et qu'un thème remplaçait le précédent. Je peux modifier l'extension pour que chacune soit autonome mais je suis parti du principe qu'on ne changeait pas celle que on aimait (par exemple, ma fille utilise le thème rose, que j'ai d'ailleurs fait pour elle, et elle n'en veut pas d'autre !). Je n'ai pas modifié l'adresse de mise à jour, par respect pour l'auteur originel, mais c'est vrai que j'aurais pu. Content de savoir que ça te plaît quand même (beaucoup de gens m'ont dit que c'était plus beau que Noia, plus classique et plus... classe). Airelle 26 février 2006 à 21:54 (CET)

Bonjour. Je ne m'y connais pas trop, apparemment parfois c'est résolu par un redémarrage. Sinon, il faut downgrader le noyau. Pour moi, c'est un peu plus compliqué... Guillom 24 mars 2006 à 20:15 (CET)

mon ajout au bêtisier du 6 avril 2006

Je pense que si tu l'enlèves du bêtisier, c'est que nous n'avons pas le même humour. Ce n'est pas une critique de l'article, c'est une autodérision : tout ce que je suis capable de comprendre dans cet article, c'est peu de chose par rapport au contenu. Voilà, voilà. Sinon, c'est rien, tu peux l'enlever, mais ça vaudra bien un passage au bistro! Michel Barbetorte 8 avril 2006 à 11:53 (CEST)

D'accord je le laisse sans aucun problème si c'est de l'humour. Cela dis, cela ne me fait pas rire malgré que j'adore rire et blaguer comme je le précise sur ma page utilisateur.Manu1400 8 avril 2006 à 17:35 (CEST)

Analyse automatique de tes créations

Bonjour. Suite à une analyse automatique des articles créés il y a deux jours, j'ai remarqué qu'encore aujourd'hui,

• Windows Live Shopping était
  • un article non catégorisé

Les catégories permettent de regrouper l'article par thèmes. Ainsi, les lecteurs mais aussi contributeurs qui s'intéressent à ce thème pourront le trouver plus facilement. Je t'engage fortement à catégoriser ton article pour faciliter son évolution.

Pour de plus amples renseignements, tu peux aussi consulter cette page.

Ce message étant généré automatiquement, inutile d'y répondre mais si tu le juges inopportun, tu peux venir le dire ici.

Par ailleurs, je suis encore en phase de test, merci de rapporter à mon dresseur tout dysfonctionnement.

Gestion numérique des droits

L'article Gestion Numérique des droits porte sur la ... gestion numérique des droits, et non sur les soutiens ou protestations liées a celle ci. Mettre un lien sur un appel a manifester ou a protester n'informe pas sur la gestion des droits, mais participe d'une communication partisane sur le sujet d'où ma suppression de cette information. Vous pouvez toujours créer un article analysant les moyens mis en œuvre par les opposant a la gestion numérique des droits, mais c'est un tout autre sujet.--Dwarf Power 8 octobre 2006 à 19:46 (CEST)

Mozilla

Salut, oui en fait maintenant que tu me le dis je m'aperçois que je me suis trompé au sujet de l'article Mozilla que j'ai renommé. Au vu de l'introduction et du modèle infobox, je pensais qu'il parlé uniquement de la suite Mozilla alors qu'il est assez similaire au mien si on prend la peine de lire un peu plus loin. Je me suis donc fait piégé par l'introduction...

Je n'ai pas très bien compris ce que tu entends par "Merci pour votre attention linguistique qui justifie ce renommage !" probablement parce que la justification du "renommage" que j'ai donnée n'est pas assez précise, en fait ce que ce souhaitais faire (et que je souhaite toujours) c'est d'avoir deux articles équivalent à la version anglophone :

• un article nommé Mozilla et qui explique toutes les significations associés à ce nom (c'est ce que j'ai fait en traduisant l'article anglais)
• un article nommé Mozilla Application Suite qui se concentre sur cette suite de logiciels.

L'article Mozilla que j'ai renommé en Mozilla Application Suite est en fait un mélange de deux précédents (ce dont je ne m'étais pas aperçu) ce qui explique qu'effectivement actuellement on a des redites sur les deux articles. Ce que je compte donc faire pour corriger le tir c'est :

• déplacer les informations de Mozilla Application Suite qui ne concernent pas spécifiquement cette suite dans l'article Mozilla (et les fusionner avec celles que j'ai traduites)
• développer l'article Mozilla Application Suite en traduisant son équivalent en anglais.

Au sujet de l'article Ubuntu-cdprof

Bonjour

L'article Ubuntu-cdprof devrai être revu. J'ai wikifié l'article mais le plus important et le plus difficile reste à faire : Mieux formulé les explications et les précisé, évité les répétitions...

Si cela t'intéresse de revoir l'article, n'hésite pas à me contacter.

Manu1400 7 juillet 2007 à 17:57 (CEST)

Ok, vas y, je relirais si tu veux. Mais l'article à été écrit par Cdprof, son développeur. Je suis juste un utilisateur d'ubuntu, intéresse par l'utilisation des libres dans l'enseignement. Piero 7 juillet 2007 à 21:04 (CEST)

Bonjour, j'ai écris cet article et suis bien sur preneur de toute bonne idée. Je ne suis pas un spécialiste de wikipedia donc j'ai bien sur besoin d'aide. C'est pour cela que j'ai mis un bandeau pour signaler que l'article était une ébauche.

--Cdprof 12 août 2007 à 12:40 (CEST)

Bonjour. J'ai essayé de faire une liste des choses à amélioré sur l'article, la voici. Le style est à revoir, les avis personnels ne doivent pas à être donné (exemple : "beaucoup plus joli à mon goût." trouvé et supprimé dans le paragraphe "OpenOffice.org 2.2"). Les explications techniques sont vraiment à revoir (je comprend pas tout de l'article et je doit pas être le seul). N'hésite pas à me poser des questions et à essayer de comprendre les modifications de l'article. Manu1400 12 août 2007 à 13:59 (CEST)

Merci pour ces commentaires. J'ai apporté des modifications : retrait d'avis personnel, retrait de partie technique qui n'ont effectivement pas d'intérêt dans cet article, ajout de liens. J'ai aussi créé une page à propos d'un projet que je cite (OOo.HG), ce qui me permet de faire un lien interne à wikipedia. Pour les répétitions j'ai finalement laissé tel quel : en effet une personne qui ne lit pas tout, mais se sert du sommaire, trouvera ainsi les infos à des endroits différents.

Sécurité informatique : Campagne de recrutement + information vote PdQ

Salut Manu1400 ! Je me permets de t'écrire parce que j'ai remarqué que tu avais contribué (au moins une fois) sur (au moins) un article référencé sur le projet sur la sécurité informatique.

Si tu es intéressé et motivé, n'hésites pas à rejoindre l'équipe du projet !

Aussi, j'ai proposé il y a 15 jours que le portail soit promu "Portail de qualité". Le vote est passé en second tour depuis lundi. Je te propose de venir t'exprimer sur le sujet : Wikipédia:Proposition articles de qualité/Portail:Sécurité informatique. N'hésite pas à émettre des critiques, à améliorer le portail, etc.

Salut,

Merci.

demandes d'articles

Salut

Désolé, j'ai oublié de signer la dernière fois. Pour ce qui de la longue liste d'articles laissés en plan, faut dire qu'il y a des demandes plutôt bizarres/ inutiles ou ambigus : espace bidimensionnel, droite normale, coefficients complexes... Du coup personne ne s'en occupe, et certainement que personne n'écrira l'article "Coefficients complexes" (je mets en lien on sait jamais !). Il faudrait faire une concertation (initiée par Utilisateur:Ektoplastor) pour virer les quelques demandes qui ne seront jamais satisfaites. Ensuite, il y a d'autres articles dont personne ne s'occupe, faute de temps. On en est encore à aux grands projets de constructions de l'ossature (articles centraux etc.), donc les petits sujets pâtissent aussi un peu de ce travail. Voilà ce que j'en pense.

--Biajojo 27 septembre 2007 à 13:50 (CEST)

Cher Manu

Je n'ai pas trop de spam parce que j'ai des protections contre cela et pour le reste je veux jouer la transparence parce que mes opinions sont connues dans mon pays et que je ne veux pas me cacher derrière un pseudo, malgré le fait que cela me pose des problèmes. Je trouve que c'est la meilleure façon, d'être honnête, au moins dans mon cas. Et tant pis si des pages créées sont discutées en raison de ces positions: le critère final c'est tout de même la pertinence de ce qui est dit. Merci de me l'avoir fait remarquer!!! 7 octobre 2007 à 18:55 (CEST)

A propos de wikilivre et de wikibook

Bonjour

D'après ce que j'ai compris, Wikilivres est le nom français de Wikibooks. J'ai effectué des recherches sur une éventuelle différence avant de te contacter. Pourquoi d'après toi "wikilivres n'est pas wikibooks" ?

Merci d'avance pour ta réponse. Manu1400 14 novembre 2007 à 15:51 (CET)

car c'est deux sites bien différents : wikilivres et wikibooks, le second faisant parti du projet au meme titre que wikipedia, l'autre non. Et qu'un récent arbitrage a permis de bien montrer cette confusion des gens sur wikilivres. Amicalement--Chaps - blabliblo 14 novembre 2007 à 20:56 (CET)

C'est à partir de l'analyse des quelques contribs sous le pseudo, dogme musulman et vandalisme potache citant un lycée marseillais. Mais cela n'a rien de péjoratif : en quoi l'idée que l'on peut être marseillais et musulman et avoir un môme lycéen peut-il constituer une attaque perso ?

Nettoyage des liens de catégories

Bonjour,

Je viens de procéder à un nettoyage des catégories des pages :

• Utilisateur:Manu1400/Comparaison de logiciels de messagerie instantanée

Veuillez à l'avenir éviter de placer une page de discussion, votre page utilisateur ou une sous-page de votre espace utilisateur dans une catégorie Main.

Vous pouvez utiliser la syntaxe [[:Catégorie:le nom de la catégorie]] en lieu et place.

Les brouillons d'article ne devraient pas être non plus catégorisés (ni contenir de liens interwiki !) pour éviter qu'un visiteur (ou pis, un bot mal dressé) ne s'y perde.

Si vous souhaitez signaler un souci technique, il y a lieu de contacter Dereckson.

Si vous souhaitez contester la mesure, comprendre la problématique ou signalez une catégorie erronée, il y a lieu de contacter Ludo29.

Salut :)

En fait, je vais refaire les dessins, avec une toxine en plus gros, pour améliorer la lisibilité, et sinon, je me demandais, est ce que tu serais d'accord que je le fasse en .GIF animé ? je pourrais réunir les 5 images en un seul GIF, qui montrerait la colonisation de la cellule :) Lilyu (Répondre) 8 février 2008 à 18:08 (CET)

Super :D, je m'en occupe cette nuit : refaire les schémas, ajouter la légende : j'aurais les images en SVG (je les importerais sur commons au cas où). puis conversion en bitmap, et j'utiliserai photoshop pour transformer en GIF, puis je réunis en un seul gif animé. les couleurs étant assez unies, il ne devrais pas y avoir de perte trop importante à la conversion.

je te montrerais les SVG avec la légende demain, pour vérification avant conversion en GIF.

C'est rafraichissant de voir des gens content du travail qu'on accomplit :D, merci à toi. Par ailleurs, j'ai juste fais une Terminale S (il y a longtemps), donc j'étais pas sure d'avoir bien compris la description du processus dans l'article sur la toxine.

• Vous faites une demande
• Un(e) ou plusieurs wikigraphistes font une proposition
• Vous faites une critique de la proposition, l'acceptant ou la refusant.
• Le remplacement est effectué, par le wikigraphiste ou le demandeur.

On ne remplace pas une image temps qu'elle n'a pas été accepté par le demandeur :)

certains même ne l'uploadent pas sur Wikimedia Commons avant un accord final.

C'est pour ça que je suis venue plusieurs fois sur ta page de discussion pour dire "youhou, j'ai posté une proposition, c'est bon ou pas ?"

Pour Image:Toxinesuab.GIF je m'y suis pas encore frottée, les formes sont complexes, je sais pas si j'y arriverais, ni si les formes doivent être EXACTEMENT comme ça ou si les formes sont symboliques (ce qui laisse plus de liberté).

Au sujet d'une de tes interventions

Bonjour

Tu est intervenu récemment sur la page Calcéologiste. Je ne comprend pas pourquoi tu as révoqué les changements de l'utilisateur Taguelmoust. Donner la définition d'un mot c'est le boulot d'un dictionnaire pas d'une encyclopédie. Manu1400 (d) 10 avril 2008 à 22:29 (CEST)

C'est ton point de vue. Le mien (celui qui est contenu dans les principes fondateurs de ce projet c'est que le contenu de notre encyclopédie doit être neutre, sourcé, et libre de droit. Tant que ces points sont respectés je ne vois aucun problème : il suffit d'attendre qu'un passionné de la calceologie nous faire part de son savoir, apporte du contenu, raconte l'histoire de cette notion etc. por que cela devienne un bel article encyclopédique. Rome ne s'est pas faire un jour, Wikipédia non plus. En blanchissant sans aucune explication au créateur de l'article (c'est le principal reproche que je fais à Taguelmoust) on fait fuir les contributeurs et les bonnes volonté et on empêche le développement de l'article. Afin d'illustrer mon propos avec un des grands classiques wikipédiens, tu peux regarder cette première version de l'article Pomme et la version actuelle Pomme. Cordialement, Kropotkine_113 10 avril 2008 à 22:46 (CEST)

Ah oui il n'avait pas blanchi celui-là. Je n'ai pas regardé l'historique et j'ai dû anticiper sur le comportement habituel de Taguelmoust. Mea culpa. Je vais voir comment faire pour lier cette page.

Les Américains, avec un grand A

Bonjour Manu1400,

Je suis tombée sur une de tes corrections (fautive), ici, comme il est dit ici: « les noms de nationalité et les gentilés (noms des habitants d'un même lieu) constituent des noms propres, qui prennent une majuscule ». On doit donc écrire, les Américains, les Chinois, les Français. Cordialement. LynnUS (d) 30 juin 2008 à 15:05 (CEST)

"2" indique les deuxième par amètre renseigé dans le modèle, ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas. QA mon avis il est préférable d'indiquer la syntaxe {{à sourcer|date=juillet 2008}}, toutes les autres n'étant pas valides... Salutations, Aiolia (d) 4 juillet 2008 à 23:15 (CEST)

Problème avec un modèle (Modèle:Infobox Écrivain)

Je ne savais pas, en faisant le test, cela fonctionnait sans problème (peut-être y-a-t'il eu une modification du code). Le fait est que je voulais surtout faire en sorte que les informations ne soient plus en justifié (cela étire le nom d'une œuvre sur toute la longueur de l'infobox, etc...). Comme je te le dis, cela fait pourtant un moment que ma modification a été faite, et après avoir sauvegardé le changement du modèle, j'ai rechargé plusieurs pages contenant ce modèle et aucun problème n'est apparu. J'essaierai d'être plus prudent à l'avenir.--∧†∨     7 juillet 2008 à 14:19 (CEST)

bonjour, je suis ygourven sur wikipedia et je tente de corriger un grand nombre d'inexactitudes sur cette page. Est-ce toi qui est responsable de cette page.

réponsehumaine

Bon, désolée, mais j'avais du travail et lâcher wiki pour quelques vacances, cela fait du bien.

Photos

1. J'ai contribué à l'article " Kirghizes" et pas moyen d'avoir la photo de l'un de ces aimables habitants de l'Asie centrale, ( sauf de trés, trés loin ), pas de visages de femmes, d'enfants, de vieillards même! alors que c'est ce que l'on trouve dans les bouquins de tourisme, les plus ordinaires.

2. J'ai contribué à l'article "saces" ou "saka", pas de photos dans la liste de Commons, or avoir au moins : la reproduction du haut du corps ( tatoué ) du célèbre homme de Pazyryk ;

-l'homme d'Ananiino ( dessin d'1 personnage ornant une pierre tombale )caractéristique ( ds la plupart des livres sur les nomades);

-un bout de tapisserie ne serait pas de refus - celle qui se trouve à l'article Scythe est tirée d'un ensemble découvert à Pazyryk - ;

-reconstitution d'un visage sace ( visible dans le livre de Lebedynsky " les nomades" p 80 ;

-au moins le relief de Béhistoun en Iran, montrant des prisonniers saces ligotés et le chef Skunka ( présent p 81 du livre de lebedynsky et célèbre dans les livres de tourisme sur l'Iran);

-ou bien les coiffes de l'homme d'or à Issyk p. 94 ( typique des grands chapeaux des tribus scythiques );

-des tamgas p. 66 ;

-des pierres à cerf p.137 ;

-une broche; une épée; un griffon; un torque, enfin qqch...

La plupart des objets trouvés en Sibérie se trouve au Musée de l'Ermitage à Moscou. Si vous cherchez des photos et que vous voyez ces mots marqués dessous :" kourgane"; "Pazyryk"; "Toulkhar"; "Khaltchaïan "(Ouzbékistan); "kazakhstan"; "Turkistan"; "Tadjikistan"; "Issyk" - c'est que c'est bon, tout ce qui vient de ces régions et qui est ancien est sace. Il y a dans common une broche d'une "panthère enroulée" qui pourrait faire l'affaire dans l'immédiat.

Mais je vous signale ceci :

1. il existe sur Amazon.fr, une série de livres, ( gros ) livres entièrement consacrés aux photos des objets de l'Ermitage ( alors les droits...)

2. il y a un site "concurrent"de wiki, dinosoria.com ( au phrasé particulier et avec quelques petites erreurs ) mais qui ont eux des photos, sous licence, mais ils les ont.

3. l'article "peuls" a basculé sur le wiki "hongrois" ; donc, demander aux wikis d'Europe de l'Est qui ont forcément dû travailler sur des articles concernant les nomades d'Asie centrale, ils doivent avoir des photos ( allemagne, hongrie, roumanie, serbie, bulgarie...)

Alors, je ne sais pas trop comment ça marche ces licences mais bon...un article complet comme celui des saces sans photos illustratives c'est dommage.

Dans l'immédiat ou si vous ne trouvez rien de rien, mettre une photo de la région, un atlas, ce sera déjà ça...

• Merci de jeter un coup d'oeil à l'article " peul " que je viens de finir si vous avez le temps, voir si cela convient ( si c'est clair, éclairant...ou pas )

• Autre remarque, ds l'article "peuls" consacré au peuple, j'ai marqué "gynocratie" ( désignant un type de société où l'autorité politique, militaire, sprituelle, juridique est aux femmes), or, ou ls moteurs de recherches, dico et autres disent qu'il faut écrire "gynécocratie". C'est assez moche, je trouve, d'autant que l'on dit "gynophobie" ( la peur des femmes) et non pas "gynécophobie"! Je voulais changer ma bévue, mais j'ai vu qu'il y avait un lien, peut-être que quelqu'un a des infos que je n'ai pas?

Pour vos autres questions, je vous répondrai plus tard, les photos, c'est le plus urgent.

Voilà, je vous vouvoies, car je suis Peule et nous, on adooore le vouvoiement, c'est so chic!

Sinon, je suis de votre avis concernant le chocolat et le fromage, avec modération!

à plus tard...

Humaine (d) 20 juillet 2008 à 16:10 (CEST)humaine

Bonjour,

Mille excuses, c'est là qu'on voit que je suis novice...

Je ne peux pas importer des photos libres de droits ( pour des raisons d'ordinateur incompatible et parce que je ne sais pas si les auteurs ( Maison d'édition) ont donné autorisation pour piocher dans les photos qu'ils ont dû eux-mêmes collecter et payer.

Ce que je me disais :

1. si common est là pour proposer une banque d'images libres de droits, il faudrait qu'elle en collecte d'autres ( puisque le nombre d'articles variés ne cessent de grandir)

2. si wikipedia est en différentes langues, je suppose bien qu'en Turquie, en Allemagne, les internautes de ces pays, créent des articles dans leurs langues.

3. mais où ces différents pays se fournissent-ils en photos, sur common ? Si ces pays se fournissent sur le même Common que les français, alors, nous ne pourrons pas avoir plus d'images tant que Common n'obtiendra pas plus de licences libres de droits.

4. si ces wiki en langues étrangères ont leur propre banque d'images et de licences, le wiki russe et le wiki chinois, devraient avoir ce qu'il faut pour les Kirghizes et les Saces.

Par contre si pour la "panthère-enroulée" et le "tapis de Pazyryk" ( article sur les Scythes) il était possible de les insérer dans l'article Saces se serait bien...mais ne me demandez pas de le faire, je vous en supplies!...( même si vous me disiez quelle manipe il faut faire, je suis relativement hermétique à l'informatique )

Ou alors, je n'y comprends vraiment rien, et il faudra m'expliquer mieux que vous ne le faites, car tout le monde n'est pas un pro de l'informatique!

merci,

Humaine (d) 23 juillet 2008 à 01:12 (CEST)humaine

Je pense que nous avons là vous et moi un exemple du problème wikipedia.

Vous me soumettez les choses en mathématicien / informaticien = expérimentation

je vous les soumets en littéraire = transmission

( et c'est patent, vous vous inquiétez des problèmes de "maintenances", de "techniques", pas de l'inexactitude d'un mot inscrit en gras et lisible dans le monde entier!...d'ailleurs monsieur manu1400, je trouve étrange que vous ayez le temps de voir mes fautes de syntaxes, mais pas de "comprendre" mon article ( "au contraire des autres" ) ?!...enfin passons.

Prenons un exemple, sur ma page "utilisateur" j'ai éssayé d'introduire une photo du "rhino de Mohenjo Daro",( maintenant je m'en fous, c'est un exemple) je suis donc allée sur l'explication contextuelle. Mon imprimante ne marche pas, j'ai donc pris un calepin, et noté scrupuleusement un ensemble de signes ( qui sont pour moi du chinois ) et j'ai tenté de refaire ce que j'ai noté et voilà le résultat! un vulgaire petit carré en haut à gauche, je n'ai réussi qu'à placer le libellé de l'image.

Voilà, c'est qqch qui m'agace, j'ai l'impression de ne pas être autonome, je ne peux pas terminer un article comme je le veux, il faut tjrs demander à qui, à quoi... Je veux dire que pour utiliser wikipedia, s'il ne faut pas de diplômes, de titres, il faut tout de même avoir vingt ans, être informaticien, avoir un matos dernier cri, type XP ou Vista ? Pourtant toute personne en dehors de ces critères dispose aussi d'informations, eh bien wikipedia pour cette seule raison, ne touche pas un ensemble trés vaste de personnes.

Ceci est un tout petit problème et non des moindres, mais je vous en soumettrez d'autres si vous voulez bien...

Demandes

Bonjour

Je corrige de nombreux liens rouges, pour cela j'utilise parfois les liens du Projet:Restauration lien rouge. Les liens rouges à corrigé qui sont cités sont souvent des liens vers des articles les moins lus (il me semble) ou en lien avec les nouveaux articles. (désolé pour l'analyse du projet, j'avais envie de faire une intro. :-D)

A propos du projet, j'ai 2 choses à te demander :

• J'ai l'impression que les liens rouges proches (distance de 1) d'une page de redirection ne sont pas cités. Es ce le cas ? Parce que si c'est, je trouve, un peu dommage.
• J'aimerai bien qu'on est une liste avec les liens proches d'une distance de 2 (au moins une fois pour voir), ou alors de faire une liste pour les liens rouges finissant par un "s" et proche d'une distance de 2 avec un lien bleu. Je trouve que c'est le moment de testé cela, car on a actuellement très peu de liens rouges listés dans le projet alors que les liens rouges ont pullulé récemment !

Merci d'avance pour ta réponse. --Manu1400 (d) 30 juin 2009 à 19:50 (CEST)

D'abord une réflexion générale sur la façon dont le projet est géré, l'application qui génère les pages est conçu non pas pour trouver le plus de correction potentielle possible mais pour essayer de maximiser le ratio nombre de proposition / nombre de proposition correcte (ce n'est pas très apparent mais pas mal de correction potentielle sont ignorés, par exemple tout les titres qui commence ou se termine avec un chiffre sont ignorés, à cause des dates qui ont tendance a générer des listes trop longues, 1980 au xxx est à une distance de 1 de 1981 au xxx, 1982 au xxx etc.). Le programme doit aussi utilisé un temps de calcul à peu près raisonnable et une quantité de mémoire pas trop insensé (actuellement, je n'ai pas trop de problème avec le temps de calcul mais une machine avec 2Go de mémoire commence à être juste)

Les redirections sont ignorés intentionnellement, ils posent deux problèmes, quand un lien rouge est proche d'une redirection il existe une nette tendance à ce qu'il soit proche de plusieurs redirections (), ajoutés les redirections donnerait quelques opportunités de correction en plus mais au prix de beaucoup de bruit dans les sous-pages du projet. De plus, vu le nombre de redirection, le temps de calcul et la mémoire demandé augmenteraient trop (il existe plus de redirections que d'articles, 915 000 redirections pour 820 000 articles ...).

Pour les articles de distance 2, c'est ce que je faisais, mais 1) le nombre de faux positif augmente exponentiellement avec la distance 2) pareil pour le temps de calcul, j'ai du passer à une distance de 1 (il existe un algorithme très efficace pour les calculs de distance 1, moins efficace dès qu'on passe à une distance de 2, et abominablement inefficace pour les calculs d'une distance quelconque). Par contre, faire des transformations comme pour les titres avec un s final, en supprimant le s avant de calculer la distance est faisable, je le fais déjà actuellement pour les articles dont le titre est de la forme Delta (Wyoming) dont je teste aussi la distance sous la forme Delta, Wyoming, vu que c'est une erreur assez fréquente. Je vais essayer de trouver le temps de faire cette modification avant le prochain dump. Une idée assez naturelle serait aussi de supprimer la ponctuation finale d'un titre pour calculer la distance entre Un titre quelconque ? et Un titre quelconque (actuellement ça ne marche pas, la distance est de 2 à cause de l'espace avant ?). Si tu as d'autres suggestion dans cette veine je suis preneur :)

- phe 30 juin 2009 à 21:14 (CEST)

Alors ? ;-) --Manu1400 (d) 1 juillet 2009 à 21:48 (CEST)

J'y travaille à plein temps depuis deux jours, ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas regardé comment ça fonctionnait et c'est plus compliqué que dans mes souvenirs ... J'ai à moitié changé d'avis pour les redirections, suffisamment changé d'avis pour au moins faire un essai. Ça donne Utilisateur:Phe/Projet:Restauration lien rouge (j'ai cloné le projet dans mes sous-page pour les tests). Pour l'instant je n'ai rien fait d'autre que d'ajouter les redirections comme cible potentielle des liens rouges, 27 000 liens en plus, après avoir éliminé les redondances, par exemple si plusieurs choix comme dans

1. bêta-carotène -- bêta carotène -- BARF
2. bêtacarotène -- bêta carotène -- BARF

sont possibles, je n'en donne qu'un, ça tombe à 18 249 entrées en plus. Dans le projet cloné j'ai aussi supprimé les liens rouges normaux (ceux découvert sans tenir compte des redirections) pour avoir une meilleur idée de ce que donnerait l'ajout des redirections. Il me reste à échantillonner quelques dizaines d'entrées pour voir s'il n'y a pas d'erreur ou s'il n'y a pas d'astuces pour supprimer des entrées automatiquement (18 000 en plus je trouve ça un un lourd à ajouter au projet). En tout cas c'est assez prometteur, il y a l'air d'avoir beaucoup d'entrée qui sont correctes. Pour les autres astuces (s final etc.) je me suis aperçu que ça va poser des problèmes, au moins quelques jours de travail et pas sur que ça fonctionne ou ça fonctionnera peut être partiellement (pour l'instant il est impossible de faire des transformations de lien qui change la longueur du lien de plus de 1, donc les trucs de changement de ponctuation ou de changement de aux --> al ne peuvent pas actuellement marcher). Je ne sais pas trop comment présenter les redirections si je les ajoute, je n'ai pas envie d'avoir des pages séparées, ça demanderait beaucoup trop de complication au niveau de la gestion. Ajouté les redirections est aussi un peu casse-gueule pour les membres du projets, les redirections proposé contiennent souvent des fautes d'orthographe, parfois difficile à détecter, ajouter les redirections pourraient entrainer pas mal d'erreur dans les articles... - phe 2 juillet 2009 à 18:59 (CEST)

Pour les redirections, voila le truc tel que je le vois : Utilisateur:Phe/Projet:Restauration lien rouge/par distance/Y (les autres sous-pages ne sont pas à jour), la page est séparé en deux partie avec un menu à une entrée à droite, les explications sont modifiable dans Projet:Restauration lien rouge/par distance/Instructions redirect, des suggestions d'améliorations de la présentation ou des problèmes potentiels ? - phe 3 juillet 2009 à 20:14 (CEST)

Oui, l'option de modifier le bot pour découper les pages n'est pas trop à l'ordre du jour, il y a quatre bots différents pour la maintenance des pages (transfert vers les exceptions, statistiques, mise à jour, mise à jour des liens déjà corrigé) et séparer les pages en plusieurs morceaux demanderaient la réécriture de portion de code assez importante ... Pour la lourdeur des pages, il y a par contre une solution simple à coder, je peux restreindre la longueur des pages (par exemple ne mettre que 1000 entrées au plus par page), si une page est entièrement corrigé avant le dump suivant, je pourrais mettre à jour avec les 1000 entrées suivantes. De plus c'est une solution temporaire, il y a actuellement 18000 entrées en plus pour les redirects mais s'il y en tant c'est qu'il n'ont jamais été corrigé, il n'y aura pas 18000 entrées en plus à chaque dump, en quelques mois le surplus sera corrigé et on reviendra à des nombres plus raisonnables.

Pour la présentation, d'accord, je vais modifié la présentation de cette façon :

• yves Theriault → yves Thériault -- yves Therriault -- Robert Rivard

(Note que je n'utilise pas de lien, intentionnellement, le lien serait identique au premier, ça allège un peu la page et ça facilite la vie des bots.)

Pour les fautes d'ortho, oui, c'est bien, mais si quelqu'un ne voit pas la faute d'ortho dans le lien à gauche, il va ajouter des fautes pour corriger le lien, c'est un problème potentiel, mais pas suffisant pour bloquer cette modification du projet.

- phe 6 juillet 2009 à 16:52 (CEST)

C'est une bonne idée de ne pas "alourdir" les pages :-). Il me semble qu'un nouveau dump soit dispo (si c'est le cas, c'est peut être inutile de refaire les pages de liens rouges liés aux redirections ;-)). --Manu1400 (d) 8 juillet 2009 à 22:35 (CEST)

Il me reste un script à mettre à jour, le transfert des entrées traitées vers les exceptions, après je lancerai une discussion sur la PdD du projet pour montrer ce que ça va donner. Je crois que ça va me forcer a attendre le dump suivant. - phe 10 juillet 2009 à 10:46 (CEST)

Discussion lancé sur la PdD Discussion Projet:Restauration lien rouge#Introduction des redirects, j'ai aussi fini de faire les modifications pour le wiki esperanto qui utilise aussi ces scripts, il ne devrait plus y a voir de problèmes exceptés des modifications dans les explications. - phe 13 juillet 2009 à 11:28 (CEST)

Modification de « Palais Bourbon »

Bonjour,

Vous me faites remarquer que mes dernières interventions sur « Palais Bourbon » ont fait rougir le lien Constitution de l'an III et me posez la question : « Que pensez-vous de cela ? »

Je pense que j’ai eu doublement tort :

1. de faire rougir le lien ;
2. de ne pas m’en être aperçu.

Je viens de faire la correction afin de rétablir le lien correct. Merci de votre observation.

Je suis bien d’accord que cette affaire d’apostrophe n’est pas d'une importance capitale. Je ne suis pas un acharné des apostrophes typographiques. Ça ne se voit généralement pas ; il a quelques cas de figure où, Dieu sait pourquoi, ça se voit et c’est moche. Je ne fais d’ailleurs de modifications à ce sujet que lorsque j’interviens sur un article pour corriger des fautes d’orthographe, des erreurs de ponctuation ou réécrire des phrases mal fichues.

Le fond de mon intervention sur le Bistro n’avait pour objet que de demander s’il était facilement possible d’obtenir une certaine uniformité de la typographie. J'ai retenu des discussions que ce n’était guère possible et qu’il n'y avait pas de consensus sur le sujet. Donc je n’ai rien à ajouter et je ferai mes prochaines corrections avec plus de vigilance.

Bien cordialement. Gilles Mairet (d) 23 juillet 2009 à 13:27 (CEST)

Demande simple

Bonjour

J'ai constaté que tu rajoute dans de nombreuses pages de discussion comme par exemple Discussion utilisateur:Tostof, "Projet:Sport/Hebdo N°.." or ce n'est pas un lien que tu rajoute mais par l'intermédiaire d'un modèle, c'est une longue page qui est incluse.

Ceci cause plusieurs problèmes :

• le temps que le javascript soit totalement exécuté par le navigateur, le navigateur affiche le(s) contenu(s) inclus
• les navigateurs qui ne supportent pas le javascript (ou l'utilisateur qui désactive javascript), ce qui représente 1% des gens, vont afficher tout les contenus inclus
• et enfin, cela nuit à l'indexation par les moteurs de recherche, donc aux recherches à partir de moteurs de recherche

Peut donc changer à l'avenir de méthode : ajouter un lien et non un modèle ?

Merci d'avance pour votre réponse. Manu1400 (d) 26 octobre 2009 à 18:29 (CET)

En fait je ne fais que suivre les consignes de l'hebdo sport : « Vous pouvez recevoir Projet:Sport Hebdo tous les lundis sur votre page discussion en version complète en boite déroulante fermée ou sous la forme d'une annonce de parution en une ligne. ». Mais c'est vrai que cela pose problème : le modèle est lourd et il y avait eu quelques bugs d'affichage sur certaines pages. Si tu as une solution je suis preneur ! Peut-être qu'il faut également en parler au Projet:Sport/Café des sports. A + Xavoun (d) 26 octobre 2009 à 18:36 (CET)

Question diff Allemagne

Tu m'a parlé du fait que j'avais effacé un tableau sur la population des grandes villes allemandes qui venait être ajouté dans l'article Allemagne sur ma page de discussion ici.

Je ne prévois pas déplacer ce tableau, puisqu'un tableau semblable, mais plus détaillé, est présent dans l'article Liste des plus grandes villes d'Allemagne et cela depuis 2007. Donc, j'ai jugé que ce tableau était inutile dans l'article (50 villes, c'est beaucoup pour l'article général), je l'ai donc supprimé, puisque un tableau comme celui-ci existait déjà ailleurs. --Maximini Discuter 21 novembre 2009 à 09:01 (CET)

En effet, il n'y a pas de lien sur la page principale, mais il y a en a un vers Liste des villes d'Allemagne qui contient toutes les villes d'Allemagne en nommant uniquement leur région. Un lien sur cette page vers celle sur les plus grandes villes me semble un meilleur choix. Maximini Discuter 22 novembre 2009 à 07:08 (CET)

Crise de la ref folle

Bonjour, c'est vrai que j'ai le gros défaut de ne pas commenter mes modifs. Je vais essayer d'améliorer ça, surtout pour des grosses modifs comme des déplacements d'articles. Je m'étais particulièrement planté lorsque j'ai fait celle-là car je ne connaissais pas la façon de faire, et je pense que je ferais mieux la prochaine fois. Pour les droits d'auteur le problème ne se posait pas trop car j'étais quasi-exclusivement le rédacteur du passage déplacé. En ce qui concerne l'article sur l'ESB, je pensais le reprendre rapidement et réparer les refs mais je l'ai quelque peu oublié...--Ben23 ^[Meuh!] 30 novembre 2009 à 19:10 (CET)

Couleurs des liens

Miaou,

J'ai lancé un petit sondage sur Wikipédia:Le Bistro/18 décembre 2009#c'est quoi ça?. ça me surprend assez, mais la plupart semblent comme toi trouver ça moins lisible. Si la tendance se confirme, je révoquerais le truc rapidement.

bonne continuation :)

Merci d'avoir eu la patience de lire attentivement les notes de cet article. J'ai tenté à nouveau d'établir un lien avec google books qui présente certaines pages d'où j'ai tiré ces infos.Le problème est que ce lien fonctionne quand je l'active depuis mon adresse, mais rien à faire depuis Wiki.

Image(s)

Bonjour

L'image de l'article Matt Treanor pixellise : Il est utilisé le Modèle:Infobox Joueur de baseball que tu as modifié il y a un mois. Tu as oublié de modifier la documentation du modèle au sujet de la taille de l'image. J'aimerai savoir comment faut-t-il faire pour préciser une autre taille et es ce que tu trouve pertinent que l'on mette comme la valeur de la largeur de l'image par défaut 200px ? Bonnes fêtes de fin d'années. --Manu1400 (d) 25 décembre 2009 à 17:43 (CET)

bonjour et bonnes fêtes. Pour la taille de l'image, j'ai juste aligné les dimensions de l'illustration sur la largeur des bandeaux de titres de l'info-box. On était à 200px, mais esthétiquement, ce n'était par top (effet timbre-poste...). D'un autre côté, les anglophones testent les images "plein écran", c'est-à-dire aux dimensions de l'info-box (300px), mais là aussi, esthétiquement, ce n'est pas top (effet poster...). On regrettera le manque de souplesse du système, notamment pour les clichés plus hauts que larges (comme celle de Matt Treanor). L'idéal aurait été la mise en place un dispositif technique permettant d'avoir une dimension par défaut avec la possibilité de la réduire. Les clichés qui pixellisent sont plutôt rares au niveau des photos d'infobox. Pour Treanor, le cliché fait 214px de largeur à l'origine ; on peut le faire grimper à 280px sans trop de problèmes, mais c'est effectivement un maxi. A+ Clio64 (d) 25 décembre 2009 à 20:20 (CET)

les créateurs de modèles de la WP.fr (dont je ne suis pas ; je ne suis qu'un utilisateur de ces modèles), ne font pas du tout confiance aux rédacteurs et tentent de vérouiller le plus possible en évitant les options controlables par les rédacteurs (cf sondage en cours sur le controle des couleurs de l'info-box). C'est bien dommage pour quelques cas, comme celui des illustrations. Il serait techniquement possible d'installer un système double : taille par défaut, amendable par le rédateur.

 Bonjour,
 
 La recherche avancée de Google permet de filtrer les résultats pour n'avoir que des pages libres de droits d'utilisation ou de distribution.
 
 Logiquement, les pages de Wikipédia en: [1] s'affichent dans les résultats.
 En revanche, et c'est étonnant, celles de Wikipédia fr: [2] n'y sont pas présentes du tout.
 
 Pourtant, fr:, tout comme en: contient ce code :

Page Wikipédia WOL

Bonjour,

J'interviens suite à votre message. Je comprends parfaitement la politique de Wikipedia qui est de sélectionner des liens non commerciaux apportant une valeur ajoutée à l'article. Pour ma part (je parle au nom du deuxième site proposé et non du premier), cet ajout est lien était une façon de proposer aux utilisateurs une solution simple, rapide et bien évidemment entièrement gratuite à un formulaire Wake On Wan. Penser que ce site est à une vocation commerciale est quelque peu exagérée. Si c'est la publicité qui vous gêne tant, il me dérange pas du tout de la retirer (elle représente plus un aspect esthétique et non un moyen pour gagner un maximum d'argent...). Pour finir, si on suit votre raisonnement, il me semble raisonnable alors de regarder les autres logiciels et liens proposées dans la page, qui certains en faisant une recherche rapide sur Google redirige vers des sites truffés de publicité.

Je n'ai bien évidemment pas l'intention de rentrer dans un débat sans fin, vous connaissez mieux les principes de Wikipedia que moi, si telle est votre souhait et visiblement le souhait également d'autres utilisateurs, je n'inscrirai plus le site.

Néanmoins, que vous appliquez une politique de lien non commercial me semble très louable mais appliquez là à tout le monde :)

Choix de couleurs

Bonjour

J'ai constaté que tu as reverté une de mes contributions au sujet du Modèle:Palette Bassin minier du Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Je sais que changer une ou des couleurs d'un modèle occasionne parfois des protestations.

Je souhaite cependant que le 'alt' soit mis sur cette image cliquable (ou qu'alors l'image ne le soit plus en mettant "link=") pour des questions d'accessibilité web (pas de légende, juste un texte alternatif).

Pour les couleurs, peut tu proposer des couleurs pour le fond ou le texte afin que le contraste du texte soit un peu plus élevé ? --Manu1400 (d) 19 septembre 2010 à 20:14 (CEST)

Bonjour, j'ai mis une couleur plus claire, j'ai agrandi le titre et les groupes avec le paramètre big, et j'ai renvoyé l'image vers l'article de la fosse De Sessevalle. Je ne sais pas si dans ce cas, il faut mettre alt ou pas. L'inconvénient de thumb est que cela produisait un cadre dans la palette, comme sur ma page utilisateur, chose qui ne rend pas très bien. À titre personnel, je ne suis pas un utilisateur habituel de ces paramètres. JÄNNICK Jérémy (d) 20 septembre 2010 à 08:54 (CEST)

Question (sur le RISC)

J'ai enlevé la source, qui me semblait assez légère : c'est un site perso, rien d'officiel, qui indique sur une page, « L'un des plaisirs liés au fait d'avoir un ordinateur plutôt qu'une console c'est la programmation (bien que dans mon cas ce plaisir tourne vite à la torture:). L'atari ST disposait de plusieurs langages de programmation. Le plus puissant et le moins aisé pour les débutants : l'assembleur 68000. En fouillant dans mes disquettes j'ai retrouvé ces cours d'asm que m'avait envoyés Féroce Lapin sur le serveur minitel RTEL » Pour des références sur un processeur, il me semble (je peux me tromper) que la doc du fabricant ou quelque chose de ce genre, serait plus acceptable. Bien sûr, ça ne me prive pas de chercher des références moi-même. Pas encore trouvé ni eu le temps de vraiment chercher, mais je n'oublie pas. Si tu as l'impression que le féroce lapin est quelque chose de tout-à-fait sérieux et qu'on peut compter sur sa fiabilité, soit. Bdc43 (d) 2 octobre 2010 à 20:19 (CEST)

Ca me pose le même problème que pour l'autre. Je ne dis pas que pour une utilisation perso je ne m'en servirais pas, mais pour mettre en réf dans WP je cherche d'habitude le niveau au dessus. Le document que tu cites n'est pas disponible sur le site de Freescale ? Je vais aller voir, c'est vrai que c'est un peu galère de trouver un truc là-bas, mais normalement il y a de nombreux manuels de références de processeurs, y compris le 68000.

Bonjour

Je suis septique vis à vis de LiquidThreads. Cette extension t-elle actuellement déployée sur un "wiki connu" ? Le but est de simplifier l'utilisation des pages de discussion ? --Manu1400 (d) 4 octobre 2010 à 18:51 (CEST)

Oui et oui. C'est justement pour s'en convaincre qu'on fait des reports de bug et du feedback : pour que l'outil soit adapté à nos besoins. Il est loin d'être fini. Ton avis détaillé est donc bienvenu : pourquoi tu es sceptique ?

L'outil est déployé sur les pages de discussion de Wikimini (avec une apparence adaptée), et quelques autres sites que je ne connais pas.

Si tu peux voter pour sur l'atelier accessibilité ce serait bien : on aura enfin l'occasion de tester, et tu pourras me dire ce que tu aimes et ce que tu n'aimes pas. Dodoïste ^{[ dring-dring ]} 4 octobre 2010 à 20:52 (CEST)

J'ai bien envie de voter contre. Quel est le risque pour Wikipédia que cette extension activée sur une seule page puisse créer des problèmes sur l'ensemble des pages ? J'ai vu que beaucoup de rapports de bug ont été réalisés. (Deux votes c'est peu). Peut-on facilement activer PUIS désactiver cette extension sur toute (les pages de discussion) une Wikipédia ? Ce qui me gène beaucoup c'est le fait de ne pas avoir le choix une fois l'extension activée sur une page du système d'historique et compagnie. comprendre : Faire comme avec Vector : si Vector ne plait pas à untel, il peut revenir à Monobook. PS : Les bots peuvent ils modifier une page de discussion si l'extension est activée sur cette page ? --Manu1400 (d) 4 octobre 2010 à 22:03 (CEST)

Alors c'est bien que tu sois venu m'en parler avant d'avoir voté. :-)

Cette extension sera installée sur tout Wikipédia, mais inactive partout sauf sur le projet accessibilité. Il n'y a pas de risque donc que cela pose un problème sur les pages où l'extension n'est pas activée.

Une fois l'extension installée, si je comprends bien c'est les admins locaux qui peuvent activer et désactiver librement LiquidThreads des pages. C'est très flexible donc.

Je ne sais pas encore si les bots pourront modifier la page de discussion de l'atelier. C'est une bonne question, et c'est pour cela qu'on teste : si besoin on corrigera les bots pour qu'ils puissent faire leurs modifs. Et si c'est pas possible ou trop dur à cause de LiquidThreads, on dira aux développeurs qu'ils doivent repenser leur outil pour que ce soit faisable. :-) Dodoïste ^{[ dring-dring ]} 4 octobre 2010 à 23:02 (CEST)

• strategy.wikimedia.org (par endroits)
• Wikinews anglais (par endroits)
• Wiktionary anglais (par endroits)

Demande WP:DIPP sur MediaWiki:Newarticletext

Bonjour, je t'envoie ce message rapport à cette demande, parce que je m'y connais assez peu en accessibilité, pourrais-tu me confirmer que le « [[Image:...|alt=<rien>]] » (vu que ça résulte en « alt="" » dans le HTML généré) est bien OK niveau accessibilité ?

En plus des sept images que tu as mentionnées dans la requête, il y a peu après dans le code une autre image qui – je suppose – serait aussi à traiter de la même façon : Image:Emblem-important.svg

Cordialement, od†n ^{[dead words]} 31 octobre 2010 à 03:12 (CET)

J'ai, du moins je crois, trouvé la réponse à cette question entretemps. Le link=<rien> faisant que l'image n'est plus dans un lien, celle-ci est sautée par les lecteurs vocaux. Sinon, ta requête a été traitée ici Cordialement, od†n ^{[dead words]} 31 octobre 2010 à 22:55 (CET)

Oui, exactement. Vu que l'image n'est plus dans un lien (link=) et que l'alternative textuelle est vide (alt=), l'image est considérée comme une image décorative qui ne contient aucune information importante à la compréhension du texte. Le lecteur d'écran peut donc ignorer l'icône. :-) Dodoïste ^{[ dring-dring ]} 31 octobre 2010 à 23:15 (CET)

Modèle:Médaille

Bonjour. Merci pour avoir posé de bonnes bases d'accessibilité sur ce modèle. J'ai affiné quelques peu l'alternative textuelle :

• La mention que l'icône est une « image » est inutile : c'est déjà précisé à haute voix par les synthèse vocales. Et sémantiquement, le l'image est bine indiquée comme telle dans le code HTML final, par la balise img. Donc ça fait doublon.
• Préciser qu'il y a un chiffre sur l'image est inutile également, et pire fait croire à l'utilisateur qu'il y a là une information à laquelle il n'a pas accès. Alors que c'est faux : par exemple si la médaille est d'or, c'est déjà indiqué que la médaille est d'or dans l'alternative textuelle. Les numéros sont redondants de la couleur, donc inutiles ici.

Le reste (remplacement de parenthèses par une simple virgule) est un détail. Je pense que c'est lu simplement plus rapidement par les lecteur d'écrans, mais je suis pas sûr et j'ai pas les moyens de tester de suite. Donc c'est peut-être n'importe quoi, mais ça fait pas de mal. :D Je vérifierai à l'occasion. Dodoïste ^{[ dring-dring ]} 2 novembre 2010 à 00:05 (CET)

J'ai testé, et ça dépend du choix de configuration du lecteur d'écran. Il peut simplement lire les ponctuations en marquant une pause. Il peut lire les ponctuations à voix hautes, et prononcera dans ce cas « virgule » au lieu de « parenthèse gauche » « parenthèse droite ». Un peu plus court, mais pas significatif, donc la différence est peu utile. Dodoïste ^{[ dring-dring ]} 2 novembre 2010 à 12:59 (CET)

Alternatives textuelles et title

Je te partage ma "découverte" du jour : Il y a une différence entre [[Fichier:Exemple.jpg|alt=bou]] et [[Fichier:Exemple2.jpg|bou2]]. En faisant [[Fichier:Exemple.jpg|alt=bou]] il n'y pas l'attribut title sur la balise a tandis qu'en faisant [[Fichier:Exemple2.jpg|bou2]] l'attribut existe et vaut bou2. Conséquence : De nombreuses personnes vont ainsi pouvoir le texte bou2 dans une info-bulle (que le texte leur soit destiné un peu, beaucoup ou pas du tout). MediaWiki est parfois subtil. À noter enfin que [[Fichier:Exemple2.jpg|bou2|alt=bou3]] fonctionne. --Manu1400 (d) 2 novembre 2010 à 00:27 (CET)

Moui. Il y a deux problèmes à ce sujet. MediaWiki change souvent sa manière de gérer les alternatives textuelles et les titles, au fil des modifications de développeurs amateurs ou employés. Mais surtout, sans concertation, sans spécification et surtout sans évaluation correcte de la qualité. Dernièrement, un nombre de mauvais choix ont été fait à ce sujet, ce qui a rendu la production d'images accessibles plus difficile et a cassé l'accessibilité à de nombreux endroits.

Actuellement, oui la forme « [[Fichier:Exemple2.jpg|bou2|alt=bou3]] » est à privilégier, dans certains cas où l'image n'est ni décorative, ni un thumb. Ce qui est le ca le moins fréquent. ;-) Bien à toi, Dodoïste ^{[ dring-dring ]} 2 novembre 2010 à 13:07 (CET)

Coucou Manu1400, on a bien avancé avec la carte interractive et la liste des sorcières. Purrais-tu m'aider à rentrer les sorcières sur Wikidata?

Analyse automatique de vos créations

Bonjour.

Je suis Phe-bot, un robot dressé par Phe. Je fais l'analyse quotidienne de tous les articles créés deux jours plus tôt afin de détecter les articles en impasse et les articles sans catégorie.

Un article en impasse est un article qui ne contient aucun lien interne. Pour plus de détails sur les liens internes, vous pouvez consulter cette page.

Les catégories permettent une classification des articles. Pour plus de détails sur les catégories, vous pouvez consulter cette page.

Ajouter des liens ou des catégories n'est pas obligatoire, bien sûr, mais cela augmente fortement l'accessibilité à votre article et donc ses chances d'être lu et d'être amélioré par d'autres contributeurs.

Pour tout renseignement, n'hésitez pas à passer voir mon dresseur. De même, si vous constatez que mon analyse est erronée, merci de le lui indiquer.

Si vous ne souhaitez plus recevoir mes messages, vous pouvez ajouter « * [[Utilisateur:Manu1400]] » en bas de cette page. Phe-bot (discuter) 5 décembre 2018 à 12:08 (CET)

Bonjour,

Je viens de voir votre remerciement sur une modification que j'avais effectuée... il y a 10 ans . Je suis curieux : pourquoi ? Laszlo ^{Quo? Quid?} 31 août 2019 à 19:37 (CEST)

@Laszlo Ton message explicatif dans l'historique était très précis. Manu1400 (discuter) 31 août 2019 à 23:27 (CEST)

Excuse moi mais ta réponse m'intrigue encore plus.. Tu es allé voir une modification vieille de 10 ans et tu as trouvé le message explicatif très précis (pour rappel : "Pas de pub, style non encyclopédique") ? . Laszlo ^{Quo? Quid?} 31 août 2019 à 23:35 (CEST)

@Laszlo En regardant rapidement la page historique à la recherche d'un éventuel gros paragraphe supprimé, je suis tombé sur la deuxième page d'historique et j'ai regardé la partie supprimée de l'époque. Même si ça avait dix ans. --Manu1400 (discuter) 1 septembre 2019 à 00:31 (CEST)

Ahah, excellent . Merci en tout cas ! Bien cordialement. Laszlo ^{Quo? Quid?} 1 septembre 2019 à 01:04 (CEST)

Horoscope Wikipédia des sans pagEs 2025

Vœux des sans pagEs pour 2025

Nous prédisons aux fans des sans pagEs, dès le mois de janvier 2025, une réduction continuelle des biais de genre, et une présence accrue des minorités ainsi que des embellies d'ambiance stellaire.

Les communautés francophones vont particulièrement fuser en mars. Vénus accompagnera les envolées nébuleuses avec la Quinzaine des autrices au printemps. La Convention LSP sera dopée par Mercure et se tiendra à Lyon sous les bons auspices de la cabale lyonnaise et de nouveaux horizons sur le wiktionnaire. Cet été, le soleil en signe de Terre dopera de calories la cartographie des sorcières sur wikidata sans oublier le traditionnel feu d'artifice du mois des fiertés en juin. Saturne en automne enflammera les citations SheSaid. Jupiter accompagnera en novembre d'une pluie de givre étincelant les sans images sur Commons. Quelque part nous porterons au firmament nos collaborations adelphes avec Noircir Wikipédia et le deuxième texte pour rayonner de mille feux !

La constellation de ces projets n'attend que vous pour demander la lune...

Pour connaitre nos prochains évènements regardez notre agenda. Vous avez une idée pour organiser un projet ou un éditathon ? Contactez-nous par mail : info@sans-pages.org.

Grande année avec les sans pagEs en 2025 !

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2025-11-03. Missed the previous one? See issue #703.

Discussions

• Closed request for adminship: Samoasambia
• New requests for permissions/Bot: langCodesBot - Task(s): Python script to automate the cleanup of deprecated language codes (e.g., kr) from Wikidata items. Delete or move labels, descriptions, and aliases based on comparisons with fallback and related languages. The script uses the Pywikibot framework to process each item and logs cases it skips due to data inconsistencies or ambiguity to a CSV file for manual review.
• New request for comments: Exhibition models by Hexatekin - This proposal focuses on standardizing models for art exhibitions. There is not a consistent data model used for art exhibitions that factors in parent-child relationships for traveling exhibitions, show series, or biennials, despite these being important and common types of events in international art history.

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Julien Song » est débattue

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour Manu1400,

L’article « Julien Song » fait l'objet d'un débat d'admissibilité (cf. Wikipédia:Débat d'admissibilité). Il débouchera sur la conservation, la suppression ou la fusion de l'article. Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Julien Song/Admissibilité.

Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible. N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia.

Wikidata weekly summary #721

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2026-03-02. Missed the previous one? See issue #720.

Discussions

• Closed request for adminship: Jan Myšák: Closed as successful, congratulations to Wikidata's newest admin!
• New request for comments: Notability Policy - Round 2: we are still requesting your input on the new Notablity policy. Including whether to elevate the self-promotion essay to a policy.

Events

• Upcoming events:
  • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 3 March, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, March 3 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). Wikiproject P244 maintenance uses SPARQL queries to identify and resolve two types of constraint violations in Wikidata: instances of Wikidata items with more than one LCNAF identifier and instances of the same LCNAF identifier existing on more than one Wikidata item. The February 17th session walked participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter. This session will be more discussion-focused, since instances where two LCNAF identifier have the same Wikidata item can be difficult to resolve because of Wikidata’s innate quirks. Maybe your ideas will become the official best practice!

L'admissibilité de l'article sur « Modèle:Communes limitrophes » est débattue

Page proposée au débat d'admissibilité

Bonjour Manu1400,

L’article « Modèle:Communes limitrophes » fait l'objet d'un débat d'admissibilité (cf. Wikipédia:Débat d'admissibilité). Il débouchera sur la conservation, la suppression ou la fusion de l'article. Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion modèle:Communes limitrophes/Admissibilité.

Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible. N’oubliez pas que les principes fondateurs de Wikipédia ne garantissent aucun droit à avoir un article sur Wikipédia.

• Ontology federation: The development team is looking for people to give feedback on the new feature that allows editors on other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items as statement values. (more details)
• GraphQL:
  • We extended the searchItems field so that developers can now get all Item data immediately from the search results (phab:T416885)
  • We are working on the ability to get only best ranked statements (phab:T428138)
• MCP: The Wikidata MCP has been extended. You can now also use an MCP for other Wikibase instances. (more details)
• Wikibase Cloud: We are looking into making it possible to log into Wikibase Cloud instances with your Wikidata account to make it easier for Wikimedians to contribute on Cloud instances.
• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
  • We are planning the migration of the entity usage table to a new database cluster to handle increased usage of Wikidata's data across the Wikimedia projects.
  • We are continuing our work to decrease the number of irrelevant changes coming from Wikidata that show up in Wikipedia's recent changes and watchlist. Specifically we are evaluating a prototype that looks at the rendered article before and after the change and determines if anything actually changed in the article before adding an entry to recent changes and watchlist.
• Mobile editing of statements:
  • We are improving support for RTL languages.(phab:T360854, phab:T427655, phab:T427658, phab:T427661, phab:T428246)
