Administrator, or why not submit
The friend Pierrot just compile some arguments against the past months election as a director and it's worth his weight in peanut. It seems that now, to get elected, he started to Wikipedia fault with the mentality of a politician whose goal is to get elected. In short, it's crazy (but fun).
I have often wondered why I've never presented as admin. The answer is simple: given the way I play to Wikipedia, I have no need of tools related to this function. Therefore, I never wanted disturbing the site with a bid.
Sometimes though, I toyed with the idea of presenting a candidature can, just to see. I'm not passed the act because the joke was not appreciated at its true value (which include myself would have done for the souk, the process seems to be taken too seriously). But if I introduced myself, I would have a lot of votes against, and some would probably be very insulting. It's not very serious, because I have accumulated over the years a lot of hostility (I confess I do not understand most, but it does not bother me more than that).
In reality, so I can not introduce myself as a director, what are the possible votes against people who matter to me. There, yes, it would do me harm. Sometimes it is better to remain ignorant.

Singavi
Wikipedia has a list of countries by highest point . Despite its title, it is not limited to simple country but also includes various areas, particularly the various French possessions overseas. The advantage of such a list is of course limited, but can not have the seriousness and importance of a true subject of Fond Encyclopedic, and the anecdotal is not to banish our lives. However, it should be done properly.
Opposite the entrance Wallis and Futuna , the table shows: Mount Singavi, 765 m. Out of curiosity, I went to check on Geoportal ; Wallis and Futuna is a community of overseas French, IGN publishes online maps. Of these, the site is explicit: the culmination of the archipelago is on the island of Futuna and is the Mount Puke, by about 520 m. Not only is this not the same name, but 30% difference in altitude, it is not negligible. I still tend to trust IGN. Where does this mount Singavi?
The French list is a translation of its English equivalent , on which my Singavi has a dedicated section. A brief search allows you to trace the origin of the English list World Factbook of the CIA, a compilation of statistics on various countries around the world courtesy of American intelligence. Interesting, but still be taken lightly ... The question now: Where does she CIA Singavi this mountain? It exists on the kingdom of Futuna Sigave . Is this related? Mystery ... I do not know
what is the moral of this history, except that he must be wary of even the most official sources. I do not make me worry too much about the actual height of Mount Puke because I tend to trust IGN. However, it casts doubt on the remaining entries. And all for something as simple and familiar as the highlights of the country ...

Right now I have a lot of work. However, to amuse myself between two deliveries buggy software, j'ébauche the various mansions of the Place des Vosges . And when I'm sick of mansions of 17 th century , I try something else.
Yesterday I've seen happen in my Twitter feed a link to this . It is the brief presentation of a photo series by Jan Kempenaers on monuments of Yugoslavia from 1950 to 1970. Widgets monumental rough concrete. Futurism. Of Brutalism. In the limit of science fiction.
Obviously, I liked it and I tried to learn more. A little research can find the authors' names and location of works (for example, there yes, it is in Croatian). Hence the following action: creating the articles on Wikipedia. For now, I have sketched in broad strokes three: Makedonium Krusevo to Macedonia, the memorial Jasenovac camp in Croatia and monument to the Revolution of Podgarić, also in Croatia. Interestingly, it is possible to link these articles to the rest of Wikipedia (by placing images, creating wikilink with interwiki links, etc..) Indicates that the project is beginning to have a good general coverage. Afterwards, I'm not talking about the Slavic language, so it's quite difficult to put some flesh on my skeletons articles. Hopefully it gives some ideas.
Even after one million articles, there are still issues to dig.
