Hi there hello, so I just spontaneously joined the Paris task force and got into tagging "Paris-related" articles, but I wonder whether or not articles that are "Versailles-related" should be tagged and improved as well. I'd be happy if anybody'd give me the answer to that. Update: I'll just tag the "Versailles-related" ones, just tell me if I shouldn't :) - [[User:CarolingianCitizen|CarolingianCitizen]] ([[User talk:CarolingianCitizen|talk]]) 10:02, 7 August 2022 (CET) |

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at [[Wikipedia:Content assessment]], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments|Village pump proposal]] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment. |

== Requested move at [[Talk:Les Films du losange#Requested move 29 August 2024]] == |
|||
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories. |

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|QUALITY_CRITERIA|custom}} parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Hello WikiProject France: |
|||
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green|WikiProject Women in Green]]''' is holding a ''' month-long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/7|Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024]]'''!<br /><br /> |
|||
I've been coming across a recurring issue of late which I wanted to bring to the WikiProject's attention. |
|||
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme '''Around the World in 31 Days'''! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. |
|||
We hope to see you there! |
|||
Now, obviously project members already know that categories such as {{cl|WikiProject France articles}} are for the talk pages, not the articles — but for the past few months there have been at least two or three cases per week of that category appearing on new ''articles'', almost always ''alongside'' {{cl|WikiProject Europe articles}}. By and large, further, these articles are created by ''new'' users, and it's rarely if ever the same new user twice. But it's incredibly unlikely that genuinely new users would even know about the existence of WikiProject categories in the first place, and even more unlikely that ''so many'' new users would repeat the same error over and over again all by themselves unless they were somehow being ''told'' that they were ''supposed'' to do that. No other WikiProject category ever sees this happen anywhere near as often; Belgium ''occasionally'' shows up in the polluted category reports but usually does not (and if it does, it's inevitably ''also'' paired with WikiProject Europe on the same page), and no other "WikiProject [projectname] articles" category ever shows up there at all, but Europe and France (virtually always alongside each other on the same articles) have become a thing I have to check ''daily''. |

== Evident need to simplify the page names of certain French government ministries == |
|||
So I can really only think of two possibilities here: either the different new users are actually the same user editing under multiple new names to evade an edit block, or some "creating new articles" guide attached to WikiProject France is somehow giving new editors the ''mistaken'' impression that those categories belong on the articles. The French Wikipedia ''does not'', as far as I can tell, place WikiProject categories on articles, so this isn't simply a carry-over from established French-Wikipedia practice either. So could somebody take a look at whether this WikiProject has any documentation that might be causing editors to erroneously think that those categories go on articles instead of talk pages? Thanks.

Hello WikiProject France! |
|||
== CFM International CFM56 at FAR == |
|||
Per title, I feel there's a need to simplify the page names of certain French government ministries, namely [[Ministry of Ecological Transition (France)]], [[Minister of Labour, Employment and Economic Inclusion (France)]], and [[Minister for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities]], though there may be others. |
|||
I have nominated [[CFM International CFM56]] for a [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/CFM International CFM56/archive1|featured article review here]]. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the [[Wikipedia:What is a featured article?|featured article criteria]]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|here]].<!--Template:FARMessage--> [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 18:24, 27 May 2023 (UTC) |
|||
The titles are just too long and sometimes confusing, especially so when they don't exactly match up with their current iterations. It would be much better to simplify Ministry of Ecological Transition to just Ministry of Ecology, as the ministry is commonly known as such anyway. Especially considering this is done for other ministries such as [[Ministry of Economy and Finance (France)]] and [[Ministry of Agriculture (France)]].

== [[Girondins]] - minor review == |
|||
Some {{diff|Girondins|1249845926|1241449776|suspicious edits}} have happened recently on this article and it needs someone with some knowledge of the French revolution (at least, enough knowledge to understand the complexity of all the references) to review them. |
|||
* References removed, but the reference did not seem, to me, to correctly back up what was being stated anyway. |
|||
* The content that was removed seemed significant enough that a new reference should have been found instead, and would have been rather trivial to find. |
|||
Please review and apply any edits/reversions directly you see fit. |

== Antonio Martinelli == |
|||
Perhaps someone from this WikiProject could take a look at [[:Antonio Martinelli]] and assess it since being a photographer seems to be the primary claim being made for Martinelli's Wikipedia notability. The article apparently is a translation of [[:fr:Antonio Martinelli]], but it's creator/translator/primary contributor also might be a relative of Martinelli. The article has a bit of a promotional feel to it, but that could be due to it being a translation, and some of the sources appear to be weak. The article's formatting/layout also seems to be mimicking the French Wikipedia version word for word, which might not be the best way to do things here on English Wikipedia. Maybe all that's need is someone more familiar with BLP articles about photographers to look it over and clean up whatever needs to be cleaned up and trim whatever needs to be trimmed. For reference, the French Wikipedia article was created by the same person and it too never appears to have been assessed for Wikipedia notability. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 11:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC) |

== Foster parents needed for Draft:History of French bureaucracy == |

[[Draft:History of French bureaucracy]] has apparently been abandoned by {{user|The Star Baron}}. The topic is unquestionably a [[WP:N|notable]] one, and this draft deserves to be developed and released. I'd like to see more citations added to it—I added a Further reading section with numerous sources that could be mined for the purpose—but it is already an advanced stub at this point, and probably releasable with some minor changes. It would be great to find someone to take this on, whip it into shape, and release it. Thanks, [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 03:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:I work full-time and am a family man so I will be the first to admit I have worked on this article very slowly, but I do consider myself working on it incredibly slowly rather than abandoning it entirely. I do understand my edits have been beyond sparse at this junction, but I'm not going to claim I'm all hat no cattle. I'm a ton-of-tabs open kind of guy so I still have a few open dedicated to this topic, I just have had trouble getting my research on the cultural fame of French bureaucracy to a publishable state. Any help getting this article to the state I agree it deserves is always appreciated, and I do thank you Mathglot for taking an interest in it. Articles definitely have to be group efforts to reach their best form, but I wasn't trying to leave this article on anyone's doorstep! I do plan to be a life-long contributor to this article and to the project at large, and I will be a better contributor as I continue my education and become smarter about such things.

:: [[User:The Star Baron|The Star Baron]], great to hear from you. This is a volunteer project, and your creation of the draft is laudable. Real life takes precedence always, and when, or if you get back to it, is entirely up to you. If you do find the time, please note that the {{slink|Draft:History of French bureaucracy|Further reading|nopage=yes}} section has a bunch of new references you can mine to flesh out the story of French bureaucracy; I left them there for that purpose, so feel free to use them if you wish, or develop your own sources. I hope other editors will see the call, and join in to help out as well. Thanks again, [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 03:38, 27 October 2024 (UTC) |

:::'''Alerted by Mathglot:''' Interesting. Adjoins the administrative law topic that I have been meaning to get to for forever. I see some sentences that I would like to pull out of passive voice, but this is common and no big deal, and there is little point in polishing the English until it is fleshed out a bit more. It is true that the article feels light for the topic, which is huge, actually. I am very busy right now but would like to contribute here and there eventually. Thanks for the Further reading, Mathglot. I guess I could start by reading some of it, ans I guess let The Star Baron know which one so we don't duplicate? One partially formed thought that I can bring to the article for consideration right now is that the French Revolution brought a lot of reforms and rationalizations to rather creaky French systems including the metric system and the civil law legal system. To oversimplify quite a bit the latter brought some deceptively simple-looking principles to government, for example that laws must be written down and could not be retroactive. There was very strong feeling at the time about the whims of kings. There are a number of start-class articles out there about these fundamental principles, about which Mathglot can tell you a lot more, as Mathglot has been tending them, whereas I have been in and out in bursts doing deep dives. I did not know about Germany, but it makes a great deal of sense. A couple of Polish editors of my acquaintance once told me that Napoleon is still to this day rather popular in Poland, because he brought the civil law system to, for example, the [[Duchy of Warsaw]]. I was surprised and said he seemed like an invading mad tyrant, but ah, they said, he was nonetheless better than the sort of invading mad tyrant that they had been getting from Russia. So they were all in favor of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, which of course failed. But Poland to this day has a civil law system, a hybrid one, I believe. So there is lots of stuff that could go in a background section. There is also a more indirect link to the law and administration system of Brazil, which imported a Bonaparte to be Emperor at one point. That is what surfaces off the top of my head. Hope is is useful. If you don't get to it I probably will at some point, so... note to whomever, possibly me. Also don't forget all the French possessions and colonies in North Africa, DR Congo and Vietnam, although I am not as conversant with the details of those systems. The way that is handled the discrepancy between ''liberte, egalite, fraternite'' and the mechanics of regulating slavery and predatory colonialism are probably interesting, but the French had wheat and coral concessions in Algeria well before the French Revolution, and apparently a lot of small wars were fought over the rights to export to Marseilles.

== I'm confused == |
|||
Thing is, our Catherine de' Medici article doesn't mention her involvement in popularizing heels at all. Not in the (lengthy) article. Not anywhere in the (lengthy) talk page with no archives. I assume that means there's some solid reason to doubt the current internet lore but it's widespread enough across blogs, newspaper articles, and some histories of footwear and fashion that it's actually worth including a paragraph in the article even if it's wrong just to clearly debunk it. Anyone here know what's going on with that? Kindly respond at the [[Talk:Catherine de' Medici|talk page itself]] since I'll also crosspost this request to WPFASHION and WPWOMENSHISTORY. — [[User talk:LlywelynII|<span style="text-shadow:#BBBBBB 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Llywelyn<span style="color: Gold;">II</span></span>]] 12:58, 30 June 2023 (UTC) |

I've been looking around and I can't find any info on if intercounalities are base of Arrodossements or not. Can someone help me out? [[User:Vestrix|Vestrix]] ([[User talk:Vestrix|talk]]) 03:26, 26 November 2024 (UTC) |

== Maupassant or de Maupassant == |

: [[User:Vestrix|Vestrix]], I am confused by your question. ''Intercounalities'' is not a word I recognize, but if you tell me the French word you were thinking of, it's likely I will probably understand it. As far as the other word you wrote there, I am pretty sure you meant to say [[Arrondissement]], and perhaps that article will answer your question, or maybe the French Wikipedia article ''[[:fr:Arrondissement]]'' will. Although I still really don't know what your question actually is. [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 04:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC) |

Bonjour, When referring to Maupassant after using the full name in the lead of the article [[Guy de Maupassant]], should he not be referred to as, "de Maupassant" since his father had received permission to name himself Gustave de Maupassant (read the [[Guy de Maupassant]] article - that is mentioned)?-[[User:1Firang|1Firang]] ([[User talk:1Firang|talk]]) 13:53, 1 July 2023 (UTC) |

Hello Wikiproject France! As you may know, because of the efforts of the Wikiproject, we have documented every commune in France! I think that it's time to take the next step. If I could get a force of at least 10 people, we can start to document every intercommunal structure in France! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Following on from this [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Archive 169#Should the RAF/RNoAF squadrons 330-334 have separate or unified articles?|discussion in January 2023]] on the WP:MILHIST talk page. A large number of other countries squadrons have been merged/moved to their native air forces.

|||
Hi all, while writing up [[War College (Finland)]], I came across a French person called "Captain R. Devaulx" who was one of the first teachers of the college. He would have worked at the college as a "teacher of military technology" (more specifically, "car transportation" in a few sources) starting from 1924 or 1925. A [https://digi.kansalliskirjasto.fi/sanomalehti/binding/1506134?term=Devaulx&term=Dewaulx&page=1 newspaper clipping] gives a full name of "Robert Pierre Devaulx" (nb: Finns could have taken liberties spelling foreign names, could be "de Vaulx") and says he was born in 1882. I'm not seeing the DoB reported elsewhere, so that might be incorrect. He's also described as having arrived in Finland in 1921, or thereabouts. Some sources describe him as an "engineering captain" (freely translated), so that might help nail it down. |

Versailles in the Paris task force?
[edit]Hi there hello, so I just spontaneously joined the Paris task force and got into tagging "Paris-related" articles, but I wonder whether or not articles that are "Versailles-related" should be tagged and improved as well. I'd be happy if anybody'd give me the answer to that. Update: I'll just tag the "Versailles-related" ones, just tell me if I shouldn't :) - CarolingianCitizen (talk) 10:02, 7 August 2022 (CET)

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon
[edit]Hello WikiProject France:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
Grnrchst (talk) 11:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Evident need to simplify the page names of certain French government ministries
[edit]Hello WikiProject France!
Per title, I feel there's a need to simplify the page names of certain French government ministries, namely Ministry of Ecological Transition (France), Minister of Labour, Employment and Economic Inclusion (France), and Minister for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities, though there may be others.
The titles are just too long and sometimes confusing, especially so when they don't exactly match up with their current iterations. It would be much better to simplify Ministry of Ecological Transition to just Ministry of Ecology, as the ministry is commonly known as such anyway. Especially considering this is done for other ministries such as Ministry of Economy and Finance (France) and Ministry of Agriculture (France). Sisuvia (talk) 10:26, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Some suspicious edits have happened recently on this article and it needs someone with some knowledge of the French revolution (at least, enough knowledge to understand the complexity of all the references) to review them.
- References removed, but the reference did not seem, to me, to correctly back up what was being stated anyway.
- The content that was removed seemed significant enough that a new reference should have been found instead, and would have been rather trivial to find.
Please review and apply any edits/reversions directly you see fit. Thank you! Komonzia (talk) 04:34, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Antonio Martinelli
[edit]Perhaps someone from this WikiProject could take a look at Antonio Martinelli and assess it since being a photographer seems to be the primary claim being made for Martinelli's Wikipedia notability. The article apparently is a translation of fr:Antonio Martinelli, but it's creator/translator/primary contributor also might be a relative of Martinelli. The article has a bit of a promotional feel to it, but that could be due to it being a translation, and some of the sources appear to be weak. The article's formatting/layout also seems to be mimicking the French Wikipedia version word for word, which might not be the best way to do things here on English Wikipedia. Maybe all that's need is someone more familiar with BLP articles about photographers to look it over and clean up whatever needs to be cleaned up and trim whatever needs to be trimmed. For reference, the French Wikipedia article was created by the same person and it too never appears to have been assessed for Wikipedia notability. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Foster parents needed for Draft:History of French bureaucracy
[edit]Draft:History of French bureaucracy has apparently been abandoned by The Star Baron (talk · contribs). The topic is unquestionably a notable one, and this draft deserves to be developed and released. I'd like to see more citations added to it—I added a Further reading section with numerous sources that could be mined for the purpose—but it is already an advanced stub at this point, and probably releasable with some minor changes. It would be great to find someone to take this on, whip it into shape, and release it. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- I work full-time and am a family man so I will be the first to admit I have worked on this article very slowly, but I do consider myself working on it incredibly slowly rather than abandoning it entirely. I do understand my edits have been beyond sparse at this junction, but I'm not going to claim I'm all hat no cattle. I'm a ton-of-tabs open kind of guy so I still have a few open dedicated to this topic, I just have had trouble getting my research on the cultural fame of French bureaucracy to a publishable state. Any help getting this article to the state I agree it deserves is always appreciated, and I do thank you Mathglot for taking an interest in it. Articles definitely have to be group efforts to reach their best form, but I wasn't trying to leave this article on anyone's doorstep! I do plan to be a life-long contributor to this article and to the project at large, and I will be a better contributor as I continue my education and become smarter about such things. The Star Baron (talk) 14:41, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- The Star Baron, great to hear from you. This is a volunteer project, and your creation of the draft is laudable. Real life takes precedence always, and when, or if you get back to it, is entirely up to you. If you do find the time, please note that the § Further reading section has a bunch of new references you can mine to flesh out the story of French bureaucracy; I left them there for that purpose, so feel free to use them if you wish, or develop your own sources. I hope other editors will see the call, and join in to help out as well. Thanks again, Mathglot (talk) 03:38, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Alerted by Mathglot: Interesting. Adjoins the administrative law topic that I have been meaning to get to for forever. I see some sentences that I would like to pull out of passive voice, but this is common and no big deal, and there is little point in polishing the English until it is fleshed out a bit more. It is true that the article feels light for the topic, which is huge, actually. I am very busy right now but would like to contribute here and there eventually. Thanks for the Further reading, Mathglot. I guess I could start by reading some of it, ans I guess let The Star Baron know which one so we don't duplicate? One partially formed thought that I can bring to the article for consideration right now is that the French Revolution brought a lot of reforms and rationalizations to rather creaky French systems including the metric system and the civil law legal system. To oversimplify quite a bit the latter brought some deceptively simple-looking principles to government, for example that laws must be written down and could not be retroactive. There was very strong feeling at the time about the whims of kings. There are a number of start-class articles out there about these fundamental principles, about which Mathglot can tell you a lot more, as Mathglot has been tending them, whereas I have been in and out in bursts doing deep dives. I did not know about Germany, but it makes a great deal of sense. A couple of Polish editors of my acquaintance once told me that Napoleon is still to this day rather popular in Poland, because he brought the civil law system to, for example, the Duchy of Warsaw. I was surprised and said he seemed like an invading mad tyrant, but ah, they said, he was nonetheless better than the sort of invading mad tyrant that they had been getting from Russia. So they were all in favor of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, which of course failed. But Poland to this day has a civil law system, a hybrid one, I believe. So there is lots of stuff that could go in a background section. There is also a more indirect link to the law and administration system of Brazil, which imported a Bonaparte to be Emperor at one point. That is what surfaces off the top of my head. Hope is is useful. If you don't get to it I probably will at some point, so... note to whomever, possibly me. Also don't forget all the French possessions and colonies in North Africa, DR Congo and Vietnam, although I am not as conversant with the details of those systems. The way that is handled the discrepancy between liberte, egalite, fraternite and the mechanics of regulating slavery and predatory colonialism are probably interesting, but the French had wheat and coral concessions in Algeria well before the French Revolution, and apparently a lot of small wars were fought over the rights to export to Marseilles.

Bibliography section
[edit]Hello everyone,
I took the time today to write a bibliography section on IONIS Education Group, which is common on an encyclopedia with the following elements:
- Entreprendre Magazine number 351, "la plus grande réussite de l'enseignement supérieur", September 2021[1]
- ÉcoRéseau Business Magazine number 113, "Former les talents de demain - Marc Sellam Président IONIS Education Group", 18 October 2024[2]
User:McSly deleted it 3 times and right now User:Escape Orbit with a false justification.
For me, a bibliography has its place in an encyclopedia if I believe the recommendations indicated but I am not going to spend the evening fighting. I am handing over to other volunteer contributors who can take over the section on their own.
Have a nice evening. Best regards. 82.147.194.218 (talk) 15:46, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

- Ok thank you! Vestrix (talk) 15:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm confused
[edit]I've been looking around and I can't find any info on if intercounalities are base of Arrodossements or not. Can someone help me out? Vestrix (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Vestrix, I am confused by your question. Intercounalities is not a word I recognize, but if you tell me the French word you were thinking of, it's likely I will probably understand it. As far as the other word you wrote there, I am pretty sure you meant to say Arrondissement, and perhaps that article will answer your question, or maybe the French Wikipedia article fr:Arrondissement will. Although I still really don't know what your question actually is. Mathglot (talk) 04:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry! It was late when I wrote this. What I mean to say is do you know if the boundaries of intercommunal structures are based off the arrondissement in which it is located? Sorry! Vestrix (talk) 15:48, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
Gathering Consensus
[edit]Hello Wikiproject France! As you may know, because of the efforts of the Wikiproject, we have documented every commune in France! I think that it's time to take the next step. If I could get a force of at least 10 people, we can start to document every intercommunal structure in France! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Merging WW2 RAF / Free French squadrons into native air forces/air arms
[edit]Following on from this discussion in January 2023 on the WP:MILHIST talk page. A large number of other countries squadrons have been merged/moved to their native air forces. Looking at the French series, 326, 327, 328, 329, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346 & 347, i've put merge notices on the correct French Air Force squadrons that i've found but my knowledge of the French Air Force is poor and knowledge about their Naval Air Arm is non-existent.
Is anyone able help to connect up the WW2 RAF squadrons with their native air force squadrons? Gavbadger (talk) 00:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

The article Guillaume de Gisors has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced and unimproved almost 15 years. Tagged as not notable and unreferenced on French Wikipedia. Not enough information to merge.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 20:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
