I assume this is how your talk page works? Splitting conversations based on topics? If i placed this incorrectly, apologies for that. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 16:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
you moved my page on the right place. Thank you for that. I'm lost with english procedures (Soory, i'm french). Actually i entend to translate my own new page from WP.fr about the french mathematician François Viète.I hope it 'll be better than the present one. I think there are a lot of specialists on WP.en about these sujects but how can i speak with them ? Have you got a tea-room ? Jean de Parthenay (talk) 14:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Your welcome; The french wiki actually has a tea-room? Quite a nice idea actually; it sounds so much less formal then the average administration related page we have over here. As for the question itself: Here is a small crash course on the area's that relate to your question - i have no idea if there are similar area's on the french wiki (It varies troughout the wikies) so excuse me in case i seem to be overstating the obvious.

• François Viète - First things first. This is the currect article on François Viète.
• WP:WPM, WP:BIOG and WP:FR - Wikiproject mathematics, Wikiproject Biography's and Wikiproject france. These are three wikiprojects that directly relate to your article. Wikiprojects are nothing more then groups of editors who share an interest for a common subject. We actually have masses of these groups. They are probally your best bet for article specific questions.
• WP:HD - The wikipedia help desk. For basic Wikipedia related questions this is probally the best place. If they can't help you, they can point you to the correct section.
• WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NPOV - The absolute basic guidelines for creating and editing articles. I assume they are really similar troughout the wikipedia's, but to prevent any misunderstanding they are there in case you need them.

I hope this helps! And before i forget entirely: Welcome to wikipedia! At least, to the english version of it :). Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 16:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Inline citation

Using <ref></ref> tags is prefered over long lists of pages, books, etc. If you could please read this page and then use this. For example, references sections could include books, whereas the ref tags could be used for inline references. This is quite important so people know which references are backing up which facts.

I'm afraid much of that is past my mathmatical (and French) knowledge. If you could try to do things as well as possible at first, then it makes things a lot simpler. A couple of things:

• Try not to wikilink pages more than once
• Do not link dates (as a general rule, there a couple of small exceptions)
• Use English names where the pages are at that title, for example Henry III not Henri III
• Do not link book purchase sites, only where the book itself is online (eg. Google books)
• Try to get the right meaning across if you're not sure of the English, even if it makes it longer

If you do these things, turning them into fully correct pages will be easier. Thanks, - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c, rfa)} 18:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
