thread_title: Pleez delete this article

message: This article has mixed spellings, so I decided to change what was a mixture of American/British spellings to British spellings on the grounds that French is predominantly a European language, and therefore should follow a European style guide. --Île_flottante~Floating island  Talk 21:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Certain Wiki-users have predicted that the French Wikipedia could eventually catch up to the German version of Wikipedia in terms of the number of articles, albeit these would presumably be of a lower quality. I'm not sure it will ever happen, but it would be a good thing if anybody could find reliable information about the probability of this occuring. ADM (talk) 06:17, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Catching up to the German version

message: This page is the result page, redirection, from searching for "piranha effect". However it's something completely unrelated!
In an interview with Andrew Lih, at http://www.salon.com/books/int/2009/03/24/wikipedia/ , Salon journalist Vincent Rossmeier says: "You also mention this theory called the Piranha effect, which, to really roughly summarize, is that if you have a bunch of people nibbling on the same subject, they'll devour it really well."
There's no relation at all between "french wikipedia" and the piranha effect, this defined, and the redirection should be cut.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.213.165.42 (talk) 19:41, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect from Piranha Effect is Wrong!

message: Is the French Wikipedia supposed to take into account these spelling reforms. Whether yes or no it would seem relevant to say so in this article since it would affect all of the French edition

replies: text: The Wikipedia in French is not supposed to "take account" these spelling reforms, it is simply allowed to write with both old and new spellings. However this reform is rarely well seen and used in France, rarely taught at school and sometimes the new spelling is believed to be a mistake. The most used spelling (very often the old one) is generally used on Wikipedia to avoid problems with readers. Finally, I don't think why it should be written there, since the French Wikipédia must simply be written in French, it would not have any effect. NemesisIII (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I added some text and sources using the French Wikipedia version of this page, and as per the translating instructions, have posted the above template to ensure copyright compliance. I'm still quite new to editing Wikipedia, and this is my first time expanded based on a foreign article, so if someone wants to review my changes and/or point out any mistakes I may have made, that would be appreciated.

message: Two weeks ago, I decided to be bold so I included a link to Wikipédia the French-language edition in the text of the top paragraph. Nobody objected (at least, until now). -- jw (talk) 21:13, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
