Misplaced Pages

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by SineBot (talk | contribs) at 13:27, 28 August 2012 (Signing comment by Dooinit - "→J-Zen: "). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Hello! Please be informed that I scarcely contribute to the English Misplaced Pages.
That is the reason why the page you are currently reading does not provide as much information as the French one.

• Should you have any topic to discuss with me, you can do so on the dedicated page available on the French Misplaced Pages.
  In other words: si vous souhaitez vous entretenir de quoi que ce soit avec moi, vous pouvez le faire via la page créée à cet effet sur Wikipédia en français.
• My mother tongue is French, but I lived (and studied) for one year in Ottawa, ON,  Canada and I also spent one year in Auckland,  New Zealand.
  I thus should be able to have a little chat with you, using decent English — hopefully!— but if I make mistakes, please correct me.

Hey, not quite how you used it. The historical present when used in prose is an artistic tense used mostly in novels to create a more dramatic feel, and not suitable for encyclopedic writing. It is, however, suitable in an encyclopedia when used in chronological lists and timelines of events, for example:

• 2008: Maya's first EP on Dogmatik is released
• 2010: Maya gains exposure with an EP on Real Tone
• 2011: Maya is ranked 9th on Resident Advisor's DJ lists

etc etc, but not in paragraphs. You especially shouldn't use it for things like "in 2012", when the time reference doesn't make it clear whether the event is in the past or the future.

Hope this makes sense! - filelakeshoe 15:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey, cool stuff but he still got a ring which means he is a NBA Champion. I need to rewatch the ceremony to see if his name was on the banner. Hell, even Jones got one. Everybody on the roster gets a ring, doesn't matter if they played or not. Getting a ring = NBA Champion. Kante4 (talk) 10:57, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Nous sommes supposés parler en anglais ici, mais puisque vous y tenez je vais vous répondre en français. C'est vous qui compliquez la tâche des autres contributeurs WP, pas l'inverse, alors les sarcasmes mal placés on s'en passe. Depuis de nombreuses semaines, je vous ai averti des problèmes d'admissibilité et de sourçage de cet article et vous n'avez toujours pas fait d'effort en ce sens. En toute logique, sans tentative d'amélioration de votre part et devant l'absence patente de sources, je propose cette page à la suppression, que ce soit sur WP anglophone ou francophone. Je passe sur la fait que la création de cet article ici ou sur WP-fr est une tentative manifeste d'autopromotion, ce qui est fortement déconseillé. Renseignez-vous sur le fonctionnement de l'encyclopédie, il y a des règles à respecter. Bien à vous. --Koui² (talk) 12:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
