Curvier celebrated..?

edit

I'm sorry, this statement needs more clarification. Why did he celebrate? It may be obvious to better historians, but as this period of France isn't particularly interesting to me, I'm not sure whether/why they were foes. Weren't they both in basically the same field..? Were they rivals? Did I miss something? Please forgive my stupidity! Tabbycatlove (talk) 00:31, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry about the typo in the title. I'm on my mobile, and my cellphone's autocorrect seems to hate me. :( I'm not sure if the title can be fixed... Tabbycatlove (talk) 00:32, 9 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

In the section "Contents by volume", each volume has a link. Every one I checked gives an error message. The French-wiki page, though, has working links. Those should be copied over to here.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 16:19, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done, they redesigned the entire archive. No need to shout angry tags at top of article, more useful would have been a ping as I wasn't watching the page, came here by pure chance. And of course you could simply have fixed it yourself. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for fixing it, CC. What's up with being testy over tags? If "do it yourself, m.f." was the usual culture in Wikipedia, they wouldn't have invented tags. No anger was intended. I was up to my elbows trying to verify content which had used all French sources, and I was trying to find an online version to volume IV—which I'd hoped could be found in this article after discovering archive.org was useless for this book series. Since I found a working link at French wiki, and used that to get from volume IV what I needed, I thought someone would want to know that the links here were out of date and where the current ones could be found. How would I know to ping you, of all editors? I'm sorry you don't like tags, but you should get over it. There are so many good collaborative editors in Wikipedia but those who attack me, when I was trying to help, make working here unpleasant.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not testy, just noting that it was a pure fluke I even dropped by here, I haven't been in for many a month. How would you know? You'd note that I brought the article to GA, at the top of, er, this page. Not too difficult, perhaps. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I wouldn't ping a particular editor over an article unless it was obvious they'd just made changes to it. It is just rude to point out what someone else coulda-shoulda done, instead of what they did do. Not having it on your watchlist, being oh-so-surprised because you 'happened upon it', nearly missed it, and 'surprise! there's a tag!'... well that's not my problem and you shouldn't even have mentioned it! Now stop trying to justify your uncivil behavior and just move on.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 16:45, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
