Dear Swiss Wikipedians,
after a few weeks of 'lurking', I thought now was a good time to
introduce myself on this mailing-list. I am mostly active on the
English Wikipedia, except for the occasional wikilink on fr or de, but
despite my last name, I am a French speaker, leaving in Suisse
Romande, and my German is somewhat patchy. I am therefore very
grateful for the recent discussion that saw English chosen as the
lingua franca in this list.
Although there are several comments I wanted to make during the last
discussions, I have finally decided to post here following an
interesting article in "Le Temps" today (today being already Mon 30th
Jan). The text, in French, can be found at
http://www.letemps.ch/template/editoriaux.asp?page=1&article=173039
and http://www.letemps.ch/template/tempsFort.asp?page=3&article=173055
(they will remain available only for today or a few days). The article
is not perfect (a few mistakes, as far as I know), but the general
tone is largely positive.
Which brings me to a question... Do you still need help for contacts
with the French-Speaking newspapers/medias in Switzerland ? Just like
everyone, I don't have much free time (Wikipedia editing already eats
much of it...), but would be happy to help if needed -- with the
caveats that I am pretty bad when "speaking in direct" (eg no radio
for me...), and I don't know the French wikipedia as well as the
English one (but the article on Le Temps, for example, was mostly
about the well-publicised reports on en.w.o).
All the best,
Frederic
