Welcome!

Regarding Zacharie Cloutier there is no method to list the genealogy of the individuals who are his decendents. That would show the relationship and the legitimacy. If it can be added I do not know how.

Studebaker Starlight

Hi Hotspur-

Thanks for the note about your contributions to the Studebaker Starlight article. I've moved your question and the answer to my user talk page (discussion tab) which is the best place for comments, questions and concerns. In a nutshell, though, I used a lot of your facts in the rewrite, but I tried to focus the article more on the Starlight itself in order to keep the article from straying from the focus. Could I suggest that you include your prewar history on the postwar models on the overall Studebaker page instead? I really think that it would add something to that article, and the overall Studebaker article really doesn't touch on the Starlight at all. Could you take a good picture of the Starlight you said that you own and upload it in order to illustrate the article itself? user: stude62 user talk:stude62 21:38, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The ways of Wikipedia

Hotspur- I've read your conversation with User:stude62 and want to urge you to stay with the Wikipedia.

I took a look at your earlier version of the Starlight Coupe page [1] and I think I understand why you're angry about stude62's edits. The prose that you've presented is relevant, well-written, and informative. It makes an excellent standalone article.

As I see it, the later edits to the article did primarily three different things:

1. highlight the important facts and make them easily accessible to a reader who is unlikely to process the entire article in depth,
2. restructure the article to accomodate these changes, and
3. edit (or remove) sections of text that represented opinion or statements made from a non-neutral point of view.

I've found that this last point is what upsets new authors most. Wikipedia really is like an encyclopedia: it's a collection of facts and is free of the author's opinion and prejuidice. That doesn't mean that opinion isn't important—on the contrary, it's what defines a lot of what's in here—but the Wikipedia isn't meant to be a first source for opinion.

I discovered something when some of my first edits (upon which I had spent a good deal of time and effort) got blasted apart: the original text always somehow influences whatever it's been replaced by. A good deal of your points on the Studebaker article wouldn't have been covered in the current version if you hadn't written them there in the first place.

You're free to contact me (or anyone else here, really) or respond directly on this page. I originally found the Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not page to be very helpful in explaining the expectations that content is evaluated and edited against.

Image Tagging Image:51stude.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:51stude.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 08:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Speedy deletion nomination of Ou reau ha re Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Ou reau ha re, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 21:59, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ou reau ha re

The article Ou reau ha re has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence for notability - no sources provided, no ghits.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PamD 08:15, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

You say "There is very little on this person to research. There is a true heroes comic published in the U.S. during World War II. Very important but almost nothing on the internet. May have changed the course of history in North America.", but you have not given any sources to show where you found the information about him. Also, please write in complete sentences. Thanks. PamD 08:18, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

• Per your comment on my talk page, looks like you now have a reliable source! This even though several other editors looked and couldn't find one. So please feel free to repost an article. Per the source, it looks like it should be under the title Ourehouare rather than what you had posted before, Ou reau ha re (maybe the spelling difference is *why* nobody could find a source). NawlinWiki (talk) 16:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ou reau ha re

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ou reau ha re requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 54321Mark (talk) 20:16, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

• The article is obviously about a real person, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. Could you give some references and try to work on the article a little more? I have added some Google Books links I found to the talk page, but don't have time to do any further research right now. Happy editing, —Kusma (t·c) 20:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
• Also, I think the article should be moved to Ourehouare. Unless you tell me why not, I'll do that tomorrow. —Kusma (t·c) 20:36, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

I've moved it, before coming here and reading the above, and have standardised use throughout the text too. Have also made redirects from all the alternative versions of the name, and tidied up the refs. But it neds footnotes - tell us which sources support which statements.

Norman Names

I cannot find a listing or explanation of Norman names in the English culture. It is fascinating that most do not realize that many English names are originally French coming from the Norman conquest. They either make a big deal of it as with Disney or are oblivious of it as with a hundred other names that are considered English - Palmer, Trotter, Henry, Dalton, Darcy etc. It also played a major plot development in Tess of the d'Urbervilles. (She being a Darbyfield - a corruption of the original name)

I am concerned it is hidden somewhere and I just cannot find it and I do not want to start a category that is somewhere else. Is it?

An article you recently created, Julia Anne Robinson, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.
