Hey there. I noticed that you moved French Wikipedia to French Language Wikipedia. I reverted that move, not solely because I don't agree with it, but because there are many other articles about the different wikipedias - as you can see by the corresponding category - and they are all namend in the same way. So I think it would be better to propose a name change for all of these articles instead of just renaming one. --Conti|✉ 17:12, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes but what do you think is better? "French Wikipedia" as it was, "French speaking Wikipedia", "Francophone Wikipedia", or as I suggested, "French Language Wikipedia"?--Theo F 18:06, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Personally, I prefer "French Wikipedia". I think it's the most commonly used term, and to me it's also the best sounding of the selection. --Conti|✉ 18:53, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Although it might be the most commonly used, this term unfortunately implies a francocentric ideology and for that reason is not quite NPOV. In the articles of the French language Wikipédia, we try as far as possible to provide the relevent information for readers from France, but also from Belgium, Switzerland, Québec, and I wish in the future there could be more information for users form the French-speaking African countries. There might not be the same problem for - say - the Japanese Wikipedia, because most Japanese speakers are indeed Japanese. --Theo F 15:06, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, I now understand why you changed the article name. But doesn't "French Wikipedia" mean "Wikipedia for the French language", and not "for the French people"? True, it's not really clear, but if the page should be moved to a more clear and NPOV article name, all the other articles should also be moved, and therefore I think you should propose the move one a talk page (I'm not really sure which one is the best to be honest), to gather some consensus on this. --Conti|✉ 22:35, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
- On fr.wikipedia.org, I think there is a genuine intention to make the articles friendly for people from outside France. So I suppose that if a poll was organized most people on fr.wikipedia.org would be in favour of stressing the francophone character of the project in a way or other. The reaction in an other language community might be different. May be we could keep things as they are now. Time will tell if more people here on en.wikipedia.org share views similar to mine.

I am considering using commons:Image:Kentucky state flag.png on the French Language Wikipedia. Do you think it is not a wise thing to do?--Theo F 18:21, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I don't think the flag will get deleted any time soon. dbenbenn | talk 20:56, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
