Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to
welcome you, Fralambert, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.
If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:
I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing! -- Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 05:25, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
I just saw that you edited Saguenay, Quebec infobox. Do you have any source for those numbers? I'm asking because I'm not sure how the "urban" and "metro" area are defined (especially since the "urban" population adds up to less than the Chicoutimi and Jonquière populations, not even counting La Baie).-- Boffob ( talk) 01:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Salut! Je comprends ce que tu veut dire, mais c'est comique de lire ton commentaire, car "traduce" n'est pas un mot anglais pour « traduire », mais plutôt « calomnier »! (Voir la définition.)

J'espère que tu n'a pas trouvé ça sur un traducteur automatique.-- UnQuébécois ( talk) 00:32, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey Fralambert. I'm dropping you a note because you used to (or still do!) patrol new pages. This is just to let you know that we've deployed and developed Page Curation, which augments and supersedes Special:NewPages - there are a lot of interesting new features :). There's some help documentation here if you want to familiarise yourself with the system and start using it. If you find any bugs or have requests for new features, let us know here. Thanks!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of historic places in Côte-Nord, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sept-Îles ( 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 the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Fralambert. I was just about to add John Macdonald's Summer Residence to the list of NHS's in Quebec, but you beat me to it by a single day (argh!) hehe. What was your first indication of its creation...the footnoted Federal Directory? And when? I had some difficulty tracking information on this, and it was only just announced on June 5, 2015. I'm curious if and how you heard of it sooner. A source indicates the designation was in 2014, which is odd, because I didn't see anything announced prior to last week. Thanks.

Hey, did you see the apology I left you on the Talk:Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory page? I also left my understanding of the territorial and governmental divisions on Nord-du-Quebec, and I need to know if I was correct? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 11:59, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
I just realized reading back through the page that I had a question about something left there that I'm not sure is true. Though the unconstitued localities appear to have some level of local governance, does Institut de la statistique du Québec or Statistics Canada treat them as administratively seperate from Eeyou Istchee James Bay Regional Government for statistical purposes, or do they not have defined boundaries in any sense? I currently have the page as saying that Eeyou Istchee James Bay Regional Government covers any territory not located in the four enclosed municipalities, the Cree communities, and also the unconsituted localities, but I'm actually not sure about that last part. My gut tells me to erase that part about it not including the unconstituted localities, but I can find no source one way or the other saying this, and in fact the implication seems to be that they are in fact just settlements that are part of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Regional Government. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 05:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

The Sutton River is designated in English "Sutton River" on the geographic maps of Canada and "North Branch Missisquoi River" on the geographic maps of Vermont where the course of the river runs only 2.7 km. The name "Sutton River" is recognized by the Commission de toponymie du Québec. The Atlas of Canada (Toporama) does not include a toponym "North Branch Missisquoi River". The length of this watercourse being much greater in Canada, I recommend that the English title of the article be "Sutton River" instead of "North Branch Missisquoi River". - Veillg1 ( talk) 11:05, 17 mai 2020 (UTC)

Our job here isn't to replicate government bureaucratese, it's to write in terms that our readership would actually understand. "Immovable" is simply not used that way: it's only an adjective in English, and isn't used as a class noun for a type of thing, so calling something that is simply not comprehensible to any reader who doesn't also know enough French to recognize it as a bad literal translation of the word immeuble. That is, an English speaker can say that a building is immovable in the context of discussing whether it's possible to move the building or not -- but they can't give you directions to your doctor's office by saying it's in the immovable across the street, because immovable is not a noun.
Our job here is to write in terms that will actually be understood by readers, not to replicate government officialese for the sake of government officialese -- so on Wikipedia, it has to be either "buildings" or "properties" on the grounds that those are the words that a reader would actually understand as meaning what the things in the category are, not "immovables" on the grounds that some bureaucrat wrote that in a government document. Our articles are written for the benefit of readers, not for the benefit of Quebec government bureaucrats, so we have to use terms that the average reader would actually understand.
