I also advise you simply watch this AN/I out rather than comment and drag it out. It will be resolved faster! Ma®©usBritish ^{[Chat • RFF]} 01:43, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. — Racconish^Tk 18:52, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I think, given the conclusion of the SPI, and lack of admin interest at AN/I, just intervening civility do-gooders trying to make a meal of things, that the situation is closed. Please keep an eye on Domenico.y, though, as I wouldn't be surprised if he became active and disruptive again, or worse still, someone may open a new sock and start disrupting DR's BLP.

WP:UWTEST update

Hi Racconish,

We're currently busy designing some new tests, and we need your feedback/input!

1. ImageTaggingBot - a bot that warns users who upload images but don't provide adequate source or license information (drafts here)
2. CorenSearchBot - a bot that warns users who copy-paste text from external websites or other Wikipedia articles (drafts here)

We also have a proposal to test new "accepted," "declined," and "on-hold" templates at Articles for Creation (drafts here). The discussion isn't closed yet, so please weigh in if you're interested.

Thanks for your help! Maryana (WMF) (talk) 02:08, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Request

If you have a moment, and if you aren't too fed up, could you verify this citation? It heavily echoes previous claims raised at the article ([1][2][3]), and as I recall, you might have access to this particular subscription. If I'm wrong or if you're not inclined, no worries. But if you wouldn't mind, could you confirm whether the claims are supported? I haven't been able to find anything myself. Cheers, and happy holidays! JFHJr (㊟) 04:01, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

There is only one article concerning DR from AFR on LexisNexis Academic. It was published on February 19, 2010 by Georgina Safe, the AFR Fashion editor. It is entitled 'Designers put their art into couture show'. Here is a full quote: "A new event embraces fashion as an artform. AUSTRALIA'S established fashion weeks are primarily about selling clothes, but a new event in Sydney is aimed solely at celebrating creativity. Being Born Again Couture features 10 fashion designers such as Akira Isogawa, Marnie Skillings and Dhini Pararajasingham collaborating with 10 artists including Lindy Lee, Tracey Moffat and Pat Brassington to produce one-off bespoke garments. Unlike Australian Fashion Week and the Melbourne Fashion Festival, which drive wholesale and retail sales respectively, BBA is simply about giving designers and artists a platform to let their imaginations shine without the limitations of mass production. ``We want to embrace the art in fashion because we don't think there's enough of that, said BBA co-founder Emily Fitzgerald. ``The late Alexander McQueen is an example of someone who embraced art into his practice in every possible way and that's what we're trying to encourage here. A runway show, artist installations and musical acts are among the components of BBA, which will be held on April 22 at the National Art School. ``It's about moving beyond a simple dress or other garment and taking aesthetics and creativity to the next level, Fitzgerald said. A photographic exhibition of the garments will then be exhibited as part of the Sydney Fashion Festival in August. Designer Michael Lo Sordo was yesterday fitting model Rose Vickers with the dress he has created based on a painting by emerging Sydney artist Christopher Horder. ``A lot of things we do in fashion are commercial, because of course you have to sell things, Lo Sordo said. ``This is a really good chance for designers like me to show our more creative side, what we can do without constraints. The designer has used a digital print of Horder's 2009 abstract painting The Bird Has Flown to create a structured silk minidress incorporating sheer panels and plastic, perspex and metal embellishments. ``When we began talking, Christopher and I discovered we had a lot of similarities; we are both interested in the contrast between light and shade and playing with shadow and texture, Lo Sordo said. Fitzgerald, an NAS honours student, founded BBA with business consultant Davina Reichman and plans to make it an annual event. The pair also hope BBA will cast a positive light on the NAS following criticism by its alumni."

There is also a brief article from Sydney MX, dated April 22, 2010, entitled 'There's an art to fashion', unsigned. Here is a full quote: "Emily Fitzgerald and Davina Reichman are the brains behind the Being Born Again 2010 Couture Fashion Show, at the National Art School in Darlinghurst tonight. Ten Aussie artists have teamed up with 10 leading Aussie fashion designers. www.beingbornagain.net.""

Let me know if I can do something else. Cheers, — Racconish^Tk 20:41, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Update: new user warning test results available

Hi WP:UWTEST member, we wanted to share a quick update on the status of the project. Here's the skinny:

1. We're happy to say we have a new round of testing results available! Since there are tests on several Wikipedias, we're collecting all results at the project page on Meta. We've also now got some help from Wikimedia Foundation data analyst Ryan Faulkner, and should have more test results in the coming weeks.
2. Last but not least, check out the four tests currently running at the documentation page.

Thanks for your interest, and don't hesitate to drop by the talk page if you have a suggestion or question. Maryana (WMF) (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Goyard / Devambez

Hello Racconish,

I just read your article on Charvet and it is amazing. I am working on Goyard and I would love to do it with you because I want to be sure that all my presentation is correct. I did the Devambez wikipedia. It is funny there is a book on Charvet and Devambez using our researches...http://www.amazon.fr/French-Brands-Peugeot-Alexander-Devambez/dp/1157373178 My email is [email protected] Thank you for your time and consideration Superstudio Superstudio (talk) 11:56, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, let me know how I can help. Cheers, — Racconish^Tk 06:40, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your answer. I love the work you have done on Charvet, it is amazing. I did the Goyard page on the French wikipedia but it needs work, I will do the English one soon and I would love to do it with you. It will be wonderful if you can fix the French one. Thank you for your time and consideration Superstudio (talk) 15:11, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Racconish,

Can you please help me to up load photos and the logo. It is very difficult to do it. Thank you Superstudio (talk) 12:09, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure. What exactly is your problem ? — Racconish^Tk 16:14, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

On the French Goyard wikipedia page my sources are not well done like yours (title, author, date...) and regarding the Goyard logo, Goyard gave me the authorisation to upload it but there is a wikipedia process and I dont understand it, it is the same problem for the photos. The photos have no copyright like the facade of the store in Paris and all the images were deleted. What should I do! Superstudio (talk) 07:23, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Just read that you want to improve Devambez too, how can we make it better? Thank you Superstudio (talk) 07:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Can you post here a link to the deletion discussion you refer to ? For help in French on copyright issues at Commons, you may want to ask here— Racconish^Tk 13:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Here is the link http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Superstudio

You cannot upload a logo on Commons due to copyright restrictions but you can do so on the English Wikipedia under certain conditions. See here. It seems another user has already tried to help you on this matter here. For other images to be uploaded on Commons, if the copyright owner agrees, you should follow the procedure described here. Cheers, — Racconish^Tk 20:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

How can we work together to improve Devambez and Goyard? I really need a Wikipedia expert to improve the work. Thank you Superstudio (talk) 18:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Proofed a § of Devambez. Hope it helps. Cheers, — Racconish^Tk 19:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Racconish, it looks much better. Do you want more details on books because I am working on the website and I have all the archives? Can we write that Devambez published the Goyard book ? How can we upload the Goyard logo? Have a nice day. Superstudio (talk) 07:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

It does not look better. — Racconish^Tk 07:31, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

How can I help, should we rework the text? Can you give me a direction? Superstudio (talk) 13:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Claims should be sourced or withdrawned.— Racconish^Tk 18:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Can you please give me more details/help to make it better? How can we up load the logo? Best wishes Superstudio (talk) 13:52, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

See above. Here is an example.— Racconish^Tk 15:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Regarding the brand history, I think that I ve all the informations and I will be very happy to explain it to you if you are interested for example who were the owners, when the company was founded and the work publishes. So can you please tell me if you can help me from a technical point of view. I am looking for help because I want to learn to use wikipedia but not for someone who puts a banner on the page saying that I dont know the company history and who is "answering" my questions with 3 words. Thank you Superstudio (talk) 18:47, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
