Elisabeth de Vaudey

At Elisabeth de Vaudey: I was wondering if some of this might be verbatim from an older work? It's very well written, but the style seems a bit archaic. - Jmabel | Talk 19:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, no, it certainly is not copied from anything. This is the best job I could do paraphrasing the various sources I used for the article - although obviously a couple of the French quotes are taken verbatim.

Great. (As you may know, pre-1923 sources are public domain, and on topics from the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era we often have material that is verbatim from Mignet or from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica.) I will "wikify" this (which is to say, bring it a little more into our usual style). If you can provide any further footnoting, that would be great: right now, it is not entirely obvious what came from what source, and if the article grows this could become a problem. - Jmabel | Talk 18:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I started on this; I have to head for a meeting, and will try to resume later. Could you please check the translation I did on those quotations: French is about my fifth or sixth language, so I certainly am not totally confident of getting things entirely right. - Jmabel | Talk 18:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the article is coming along well I think. The translations are fine. I have added a couple more sources to the article as well. Nicholas

Citation

You might want to look at m:Cite/Cite.php to understand how to use Wikipedia's cite.php citation mechanism. I see you made an attempt at doing something of the sort & just gave up. - Jmabel | Talk 00:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
