Please, post on my user talk page on french wp :fr:Discussion utilisateur:Tsaag Valren for any question or other (translations en => fr, etc...)
I was at the EnglishPegasus talk page, and I could help you if you want. I'm not that great with French (I take it in school) but I could try anyways.٭17:32, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tsaag! I have a quick question about one of the sources you use in the French Trait du Nord article: Who writes the information atthis blog? In general, blogs are not considered to be reliable sources on the English WP. However, if they are written by a noted expert in the field (someone who has written journal articles, books, or is a major player in the breed), exceptions can be made.
I'm working on transferring some of the information from your sandbox to the main page, in preparation for a good article review at some point in the future, and possibly adid you know mention on the front page. So far, I haven't been transferring information that was sourced to the blog, because I didn't want to have to just take it out later. If you would let me know on that, and perhaps keep an eye on the article to make sure I'm not accidentally misrepresenting sources, it would be fantastic. Thanks!Dana boomer (talk)18:18, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, thanks for the picture. :)BOZ (talk)18:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Tsaag, would you want to comment onTemplate:Horse breeds of France? JLAN is doing some good work putting in some new articles, but he is naming them in French, not English. For exampleCheval d'Auvergne, as opposed toAuvergne horse. PerWP:USEENGLISH, I think we need to have the English language version unless there's a really good reason not to. So curious if these are OK to put into English (otherwise, all the breeds begin with "cheval" which is weird in English). There ARE good reasons for some exceptions; I understand a breed likeSelle Français has to stay in French, even English speakers call it that, but where "cheval" is in the name, should we not simply say "horse" over here in English wikipedia? Fr. wiki is not consistent on this, but I for one have no problem with, say, theAmerican Saddlebred being called thecheval de selle américain on Fr wiki. Thoughts? Or, if you'd prefer, comment atTemplate talk:Horse breeds of France. I'd welcome your views, and as JLAN and I are apt to soon be spatting about this, your input may be very helpful.Montanabw(talk)00:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Tsaag, I am confused (not for the first time!). You wrote on the project talk page "Euuuuh... Norman Cob = Carrossier normand", and thank you. But when I look atfr:Cob normand, I read "Le cob normand est issu de l'ancienne race du "; and when I look atthe Cob Normand site, I see this quote from Quittet & Richard: "le carrossier normand était peut-être le meilleur cheval d'attelage du monde", and later that the Norman cob "... est issu des mêmes sources génétiques que ce carrossier normand". I'm just wondering if there are reliable sources that consider the carrossier a separate (and lost) breed?Justlettersandnumbers (talk)12:02, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently editedHorse breeding in France, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageColbert (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.

Hi Amelie! For the past few days, I've been working on translatingCastillonnais, and have pretty much finished with what I can do. If you have time, would you mind taking a look over the article to see if there's anything I missed, or improperly translated? I'm planning to nominate the article forWP:DYK tonight, and then for GAN when you've had a chance to look it over. Thanks in advance,Dana boomer (talk)15:21, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Amelie! Just a note that I've putTrait du Nord up for Featured Article status (the review can be found atWP:Featured article candidates/Trait du Nord/archive1). I've added you as a co-nominator on it - you don't have to do anything, it's just my way of thanking you for all of the work that you've done on the article, and it will get you listed onWikipedia:List of Wikipedians by featured article nominations. In other news,Boulonnais horse is going to be the next article that I put up for peer review and featured article status, so if you have any further comments at this point, I'd love to see them. Also, do you have time to look throughCharolais horse to make sure I translated everything properly? As an update,Castillonnais is now a Good Article!!! Thank you so much for all of your work on these breeds - it's great to see some of the English WP's rather useless stubs being expanded through the translation of your work!Dana boomer (talk)14:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The articleLaetitia Bataille has beenproposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. UnderWikipedia policy, this newly createdbiography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to areliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, seeReferencing for beginners, or ask at thehelp desk. Once you have provided at least onereliable source, you may remove the{{prod blp}} tag.Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. --Patchy103:49, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again! I've been looking at some more of the French breed articles, and see, in several places, references to a website calledLe Saboteur. I can't find information on what makes this site reliable on en.wp, though. Is it a magazine? It looks like one woman wrote most of the articles, such as that referenced in the French version of theLandais pony article. Several other articles use articles from this source, so I would like to verify the reliability with regards to en.wp policies before I bother to translate all the material! Thanks in advance, and for all of your help so far,Dana boomer (talk)02:39, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again! I'm hoping you can help me with a vague memory I have of a conversation we held a while ago (a year or two?). You mentioned that there was going to be a new book coming out, I believe on one of the breeds of French draft horses (Auxois? Comtois?), and suggested that I wait to translate the article until the new book had been published and integrated into the French language article. Would you happen to remember which breed we were discussing in this conversation, and whether the publication/integration has happened yet? I'm starting to look at translating those two articles (Auxois and Comtois), and wanted to check with you regarding this new book first. Thanks,Dana boomer (talk)15:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And...Auxois is now translated! If you have the time, would you mind taking a look and seeing if there's anything I missed/translated wrong? I'm going to put it up for a Good Article review soon.Dana boomer (talk)22:54, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The good article review has been done forPoitevin horse, and the reviewer has a question. The article refers to mule breeding began being concentrated in ateliers (workshops), which were relatively expensive for breeders. Do you have more information on these ateliers? Were they special buildings, or just concentrated areas of breeding? What was special about them? Thanks in advance,Dana boomer (talk)00:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again :) I've finished my translation of theMerens horse article! If you wouldn't mind taking a look? It's longer than the others I've done, so more opportunity for mistakes :) There are a couple of book/journal articles that don't have page numbers - do you have access to these? If you would like me to, I can post specific references I'm looking for on the talk page. Thanks in advance,Dana boomer (talk)02:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Me again :)Norman Cob is now undergoing a featured article candidacy (which can be seen atWP:Featured article candidates/Norman Cob/archive1). A reviewer has asked if we have any sources that give specific numbers for how many Norman Cobs are used for meat versus other uses. Have you seen anything like this in your research? Thanks in advance,Dana boomer (talk)12:44, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Amelie! I just wanted to let you know that Poitevin horse is now up for a featured article candidacy (which can be found atWP:Featured article candidates/Poitevin horse/archive1. A reviewer has a couple of questions that I haven't been able to find answers for.

I've just finished translatingAnglo-Norman horse from your wonderful French article. Would you have the time to take a look and see if there is anything I've missed/mis-translated?

Hi Amelie - Can you tell me what the source is for the first two sentences of the Origine section of thefr:Anglo-normand (cheval) article?

You are doing such excellent work on the French WP that I can't keep up with you :) I think a while ago you told us that you were going to be working onNonius horse, and I see it is now a good article on the French WP. I've just done some expansion on the English version, and I'm hoping that you could take a look and see if there is anything major missing from the English version that you have in the French version. I'd like to put it up for GA here soon. Also, I don't know if you work on equestrians at all, butAnky van Grunsven andUlla Salzgeber just became good articles here.

Just put your links in as you have them in your article, then I'll do a find and replace to fix the parameters so they appear properly in English.

Hi, I see that you are in WikiProject Equine too and that you make a lot of uploads. ☺ I created and have been working onBlack Allan (horse), the article for the first Tennessee Walking Horse, but I don't have any pictures. I found some of him on Google Images by searching "black allan horse", and I know that they are in the public domain and we can use them, because he died in 1910. The problem is I don't know how to get them uploaded to Commons. I know how to upload my own pictures, but not Google pictures. Can you please tell me how to upload from Google images? I'm using a phone, so I think that may be keeping me from seeing the links to follow or something. Also, I don't have email and don't know if you have to have it to upload. (Or if it's not too much to ask, could you please upload them for me?) Thanks!White Arabian mare (Neigh)01:12, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find who took the photo (not written on either of them-all they say is the name of the horse, his owner and where the photo was taken). The only way I know of to see if the image is under copyright is by putting up a request images tag on the talk page, and then searching through its filter. On Google, I keep seeing, "these imagesmay be under copyright"... 😛 ADD: I requested images using the {{reqphoto}} template. I searched for some with the free search tool, and couldn't find anything. Maybe somebody else will have better luck, or I'll see if I can find out when the photographer died.White Arabian mare (Neigh)14:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC)White Arabian mare[reply]

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.
This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.
Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.
Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)
