Talk:Vehicle registration plates of France

message: Not mentioned here is that RATP (Paris city) buses have 4-digit numeric plates, the number corresponding to their fleet number. This is mentioned in the French version of this article: "Les bus parisiens de la RATP, sauf les plus récents, ne sont identifiés que par une série de quatre chiffres." TiffaF (talk) 15:57, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paris (RATP) buses have 4-digit plates 

message: The "départment" number and corresponding region logo is compulsory in the new system, although the choice of the department is completely free, and does not depend on residence. "Département" number and region logo must match. If not, the owner may be fined.
This part of the regulation is quite absurd, since it requires to display an information that is not recorded anywhere and can be changed any moment. It was decided upon pressure of local government members who disliked the idea of a national registration system. It is also a bonus for plate makers, since second-hand car buyers may want to change the plates if it doesn't please them. A compensation for losing business with the new system?

thread_title:  Department number compulsory 

message: In 1986 I visited a campsite in Vendée for a while. One afternoon, I went with my sister for a walk around the site to see how many of the département numbers we could see on the vehicle registration plates. We did not find any particularly interesting ones, nor see any pre-1950 vehicles, but we did see a modern van, bearing the PTT branding on its doors, with a plate having four digits and followed by DG. This is an old style number that would have been from the neighbouring Charente Maritime. The plate was the common pressed metal one, in the usual black. Was this in fact an extended use of the old system? EmleyMoor (talk) 11:55, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Given that the HALDE has an English version to its website (*) and calls itself the "French Equal Opportunities and Anti-Discrimination Commission", perhaps this is the way it should be refered to here.

Talk:Adam Fletcher (rugby league)

message: Strong Keep- This is the first article i've written, but i read the guidlines for deletion and arguementation, so here is my case. If I'm doing this wrong, could someone tell me?
1. What is cited is notability. Yet, that is all that is cited, and that is supposed to be avoided as per the arguements to avoid went debating deletion.
2. I feel that Mr. Fletcher is notable because has written numerous widely read works and articles, and has been interviewed for his work on the internet and on radio. But what stands out to me most in regards to Mr. Fletcher is that he was invited to speak at a United Nations convention as well as by the Association of American School Boards and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. 
3. He meets the criterion in the WP:BIO of "The person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field". Adam Fletcher has been active from the beginning of the rejuvination of the Yout Rights Movement. Recent History has not yet been recorded, but he leads TWO leading projects in the field(SoundOut and FreeChild) and is on the Board of Advisors of the National Youth Rights Association, beside such people as the President of the ACLU. He is part of a living, growing historical record
4. He also meet the guideline "Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work.". His works have been cited in 11 Published works, including the School Library Journal. His project, the FreeChild project, has also received two awards for their quality
5. He meets the alternative Future Speculation test. 100 years from now, the youth rights movement will either have mets its goals or have continued fighting. But no DOUBT is that by then numerous books will have been published on it. I can show this by pointing to the numerous books on the SDS and on the Student movement of the Great Depression. The main problem with writing about the American Youth Congressis that not enough documentation on the people exists. Thusly, this will prove valueable by providing that documentation
6. He has been cited and praised by numerous Scholars and Politicians, such as Sen. Harris Wafford, and Henry Giroux, as well as having been published in several upstanding newpapers and academic journals, such as the School Library Journal and the St. Louis Dispatch. His importance and expertise is undeniable

thread_title:   Who are the shareholders of the central bank of Russia? 

message: The intro presents the topic as "Central Bank of Russia aka Bank of Russia". This suggests the official name is CBoR, and BoR is just a common alternative. Let's assume for a second CBoR is what the entity is most commonly called in English (this is itself uncertain), even then, the intro should still read "Bank of Russia aka Central Bank of Russia" since its official title is clearly "Bank of Russia". Its logo says this in both English and Russian – neither contain the word "central".
While the Wikipedia article usually uses the most common name, even if it is not official, the intro sentence usually still uses the official name – e.g. Chase Bank introduces the entity as JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. because that is its offical legal name. Likewise, given that its own logo and publications refer to itself as the Bank of Russia it appears the intro should read "The Bank of Russia, aka the Central Bank of Russia" - 2A02:C7F:F330:4500:78B5:4C71:751B:ED1A (talk) 14:22, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon

message: A lot of unsourced edits are being uploaded rapidly to articles on French royalty. Some appear dubious, others wrong. Yet requests for reputable citations are ignored, deleted, or inadequately sourced (page numbers in books are essential to verify if the citation is accurate) -- while the wholesale editing continues. Please respond to these requests, either with reputable sources or more careful edits, before adding additional unsourced material. Also, much of the added material is redundant, excessive, or trivial. I've already recorded repeated objections to 1. unsourced allegations (e.g. that seem unprecedented, unlikely, or undocumentable) are apt to be deleted unless precisely sourced 2. redundancies (if it's in a box on the page, it's apt to be deleted from the text): 3. excess (details which belong in another person's article [e.g. parent, spouse, child], or which describe hard-to-verify details [e.g. "She felt envious": unless it's an attributed quote from a diary or correspondence -- how is it possible to know what someone who died hundreds of years ago "felt" or "thought"? Let's stick to what they verifiably said or did]), 4. gallicization (names and titles when combined, OK [but members of dynasties that ruled outside France -- Lorraine, Savoy, Modena, Bouillon, Monaco, etc -- shouldn't be gallicized, except for cadets born into a branch naturalised in France]; well-known phrases, yes; untranslatable terms, maybe; just for the sake of a more "French" sound or "feel" to the article -- not usually, and subject to deletion). Other editors will, of course, have their own views. Please don't use sockpuppets. I look forward to better mutual cooperation -- and better Wiki articles. Thanks.

In the English Wikipedia (like in others) it is usual to write the English version of an historical name and the right foreign name, when it is different and which is the real name of the person. Zuria is not her real name which is Blanche (or probably Blanque in Picard). You can add in a special notice, that the Basks called her Zuria, but it cannot appear in the introduction.

replies: text: Nothing to do. For instance Catherine (de Medicis) is her French and Catherine (de Medici), her English names and they appear as so respectively in the French and English wikipedias together with her name of birth as so (Caterina (de Medici) in Italian), because she was probably born Caterina (or called Caterina where she was born), same thing for Marie-Thérèse (d'Autriche) in French and her real name of birth (espagnol : María Teresa (de Austria)).

Their C++ product was doing well enough (maybe even cash positive, this would need to be checked), when those loans were called.  The money people were willing to see where the C++ effort would go, but weren't willing to pony up a lot of cash just to redeem those loans, the risk/reward picture wasn't good enough.
