I'd like to recommend sacredceltic as a corpus maintainer. I've known him for a good amount of time, and I think he is experienced enough to do the job.

Sacredceltic has my full support. He is one of the most active and compromised users in the project, and I think he would be a good corpus maintainer.

Je soutiens la candidature de Sacredceltic, c'est un contributeur très actif en langue française et un défenseur de la diversité linguistique. De plus, il aide volontiers les personnes qui traduisent/écrivent en français ou apprennent cette langue. D'autre part, Sacredceltic est un membre qui veille au respect des idéaux du site Tatoeba. Donc, je suis pour sa promotion.

This loss of "ne" that you probably gleaned in some superficial pseudo-linguistical unscientific book is just ridiculous. Just search for "ne/n'" in the Tatoeba corpus or Google books in French, it's pervading, including in dialogues...

I have to agree on exactly the same points as you. It's evident, that sacredceltic has done a great job for the project, but I'm concerned about the image he might give out to newcomers. It's true that a corpus maintainer has to pose a good example for other users, just as user liori said further down in this thread. With all due respect (especially of the huge amount of work he has done), my personal opinion is, that he wouldn't be a good corpus maintainer.
At least the decision should be well discussed. The question is polarizing, I believe.

As I said I support his candidacy. I know sometimes he is provocatively rude, but he understands and respect the rules in Tatoeba, and in a very strict manner. He respects sentences more than he cares people's feelings. And this is a style, not something to dispraise. As long as you don't explicitly insult people, it is ok.

Your rudeness is not mine. Rudeness is cultural. There is no single definition of what rude is and I won't have it imposed on me in any way.
In any case, unlike cntrational, I never call a "stuck-up idiot" someone who I don't know...
If you consider this polite, then, it definitely proves my point that "rude" is cultural and you may keep your "politeness" to yourself. Just stick to the point, then, and don't bother.

A corpus maintainer should be kept to a high standard. Corpus maintainers are people who should lead by example, because they have the biggest influence on whether new users will stay with the site or not. Vulgar or offending language is certainly not desired.

SacredCeltic already got its rights stripped (advanced user status) exactly because of such undesirable behavior. Trang had to implement a "good behavior" policy because of him (http://blog.tatoeba.org/2010/09/). And it seems that this didn't make SacredCeltic change:

http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentence...#comment-86581
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/881978 (note that the offended party is Jim Breen, well known as the maintainer of a popular Japanese-English dictionary and one of Tatoeba's grandfathers. Hardly a person who doesn't know grammar of his own native language)
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentence...comment-108938

Sysko erased lots of his other "works" not to scary away potential new contributors, including the recent episode cited by Sysko in another branch of this thread.

His behavior made several users stop contributing to Tatoeba, among them were: u2fs, pandark, qdii, Pharamp, FeudRenais, alphafour, Swift, Shiawase. Who knows how many other people SacredCeltic discouraged...

Corpus maintainers should also accept how other people use their language. Corpus maintainers shouldn't impose their own beliefs on other users either. Tatoeba is not a political propaganda site, but a tool to get insights into ways language is used in real life. SacredCeltic's behavior unfortunately denies that:

http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/1017118
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/67541
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/245507
http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/262618

Also, what's worst, in some cases he deliberately harms Tatoeba development to prove his point.

http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentence...#comment-95059

When you consider that there's a dedicated web page to list examples of his offensive behavior (even if I don't necessarily agree with all the examples), and that some people admit they use a user script to hide his posts, it gets even more dreadful.

http://qdii.dodges.it/sc3.html
https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/151338

I'm voting against SacredCeltic becoming a corpus maintainer.

Well for the time being we will keep up as it.

The procedure has always stated that we'll would promote only if there's was some really clear consensus on the promotion

I agree in that case I've been able to see the limitation of the current system.

I'm currently finishing to code the beta of a Tatoeba's wiki (I'm now just at a inch of a first release, I'll explain the rational between this later)

I'll take this occcasion to write in a very precise way a better procedure to handle the "not black not white" case

When it will be done, and if Sacredceltic is interested in the position, we'll be able to discuss again about it, with this time clear definition of what is relevant to the discussion and how the final outcome will be decided.

I agree on this as even if we were to "classify" users by "how much" they contribute to Tatoeba in a whole, one would have also to consider

- How much they help the community itself (i.e answering to new comers questions, explaining them the rules)

- How much they help keeping a good quality in the corpus (by pointing out mistakes etc.)

- How much they participate with me on the underlying process of creating code for Tatoeba, or discussing on how to create that code

- How much they help spreading the word, by talking about it to their friends even if they are only passive user who use the ressource to search for examples

For what it's worth - I don't come to Tatoeba that often, but every time I do, like today, sacredceltic is abusing someone in the comments or in the forum.
It is very unpleasant and makes me not want to come back.

My own contributions may be insignificant, but I have no doubt that he is harming the community by driving away valuable contributors.

Of course, as he says, he manages to do this perfectly well without being a corpus maintainer.

I vote against. I'd rather vote to kick that user out of Tatoeba. Indeed, if that person got higher privileges, that would mean that I will get out of Tatoeba.

I made a script to filter out some user comments in Tatoeba. It gives me some faint feeling that the world is back in peace...

Commenting on sentence correctness using the above 'collection' of words? Surely it was with the intent of irony.

Hello

The comment was about his french sentences, so the fact that the post of Sacredceltic is containing English mistakes is irrelevant as anyway Sacredceltic has fery few English contributions . (2% of his contributions)

cntrational cntrational 2012-decembro-30 2012-decembro-30 11:50:08 UTC link Konstanta ligilo

Can you provide examples of Sbgodin's sentences with errors? Similarly with FeuDrenais and all these so-called "alts" that you constantly talk about. I'll cross check with native French speakers and make sure that these are actual errors.

I've already asked one native French speaker to go through the sentences, and they think it's fine.

you don't know any French, cntrational, so this debate with you is just hollow.
It's easy for a French person to see which mistakes have been made in the logs of different contributors and to see the corrections that have been applied and why and how they have been challenged, or not, in FRENCH.
Curiously, Sbgodin never published any long post or comment in French, because he's just incapable of it without making mistakes that would betray he is not French as he claims.. . That's usually one of the signs. If one is genuine, it shows.

>I've already asked one native French speaker to go through the sentences, and they think it's fine.

Yawn...of course these people would look at the sentences as they are NOW, after they've been corrected by others, following my many outcries and theirs...
You've got to look at the HISTORY of each sentence, and read the associated comments.

Also, look at this, an entire article in perfect colloquial French written by Sbgodin! (Crosschecked by a French speaker, once more)

Would you still say that he can't write long posts in French? Or would the colloquialisms and neologisms used in the post make it not count?

Anybody can claim any name on their profiles. There are hundreds of "Christophe Henry" in France, and he may post any url on his profile. That proves nothing at all. The proof is in the pudding : there are mistakes natives just can't make.

It’s not a matter of crime. You did no crimes, I’m really grateful to you for your contibutions.

The problem is that you seem to discourage a lot of people from participating. I understand that it’s impossible to keep everyone happy, but I didn’t know the list was so big until liori said it:

> u2fs, pandark, qdii, Pharamp,
> FeudRenais, alphafour, Swift, Shiawase

Yes, I discourage a handful of teenagers who were unhappy that I correct their sentences and that - in the case of FeuDRenais - I denounce their impersonation of a nationality they don't have although they say they have it because they like to play.

But unlike qdii, I don't set up websites to disparage contributors, and unlike u2fs, I don't insult the nationality of people.
Neither did I ever call for the murder of "purists" nor mock esperanto-speakers, the way you did...

The fact is, that whatever you do, you attract both admirers and hatemongers. And the more you do, the more you get.
I am one of the top contributors on tatoeba with 320.000+ contributions.
If you just divide that number by the number of people that hate me and do the same with your own numbers, I'm sure your rate is above mine...

Thanks. Actually NO abuse of ANY right associated with my current status has EVER been reproached to me.
All these critics are purely resentments against comments that are absolutely IRRELEVANT to this status, unlike many other ACTUAL Corpus Maintainers who have REPEATEDLY infringed the rules and changed sentences they don't own and unlinked or linked sentences without ANY justification.
Of course, when I denounce these behaviours, they will pack and make sure I can never challenge their own powers. In French, we name this phenomenon "le réflexe de la meute". It's typical corporatism that hires people that resemble them and never utter a word about their internal mispractices.

Their main problem is : I open my mouth and confront them.
I will continue to do so regardless of my status.

Their second problem is : I spend my time translating rather than fomenting hatred (I just can't believe that cliques go as far as setting up websites to collect my debates, it's just beyond me, especially when you analyse the ocntents of what they collect !)

Just make a little statistic :
count the contributions of the people who supported my candidacy here, and count the contributions of those who oppose it.

You will easily come to this conclusion : the less they contribute the more they oppose those who do.

In Tatoeba as in life, there are those who mainly do things, and those who mainly criticize the work of the former.

I'm very proud that large contributors of exquisite quality such as alexmarcelo, Shishir, duran, Amastan, hayastan, Pfirsichbaeumchen, MrShoval, Muiriel and yourself value my work here. I know there are many others.
I got fascinating conversations with many of them and that makes my day, everyday.
Languages are a passion for me and I intend,
regardless of critics, to continue contributing to the project at the same or a even a higher rate and quality in the future for what's left of my life, because I think it's worth it.

I'm going to try to kill a whole nest of birds with a single stone, so here goes...

1) Sacredceltic as Corpus Maintainer.

Personally... No, no, and a thousand times no. All personal squabbles aside, too many users have left Tatoeba because of him, either directly or indirectly. That being said, he IS a good contributor and would be a good corpus maintainer if only he could not speak... Is there a script for that?

More seriously, this really depends on what Tatoeba aims to become. If the quality of a user is judged by cold statistics, then Sacredceltic should be promoted without question. If Tatoeba hopes to be a community with some code of ethics, morals, and respect for other users, then absolutely not. If the goal is to have a diverse community, then absolutely yes, as Sacredceltic is certainly a character (in a good way) and fills an important niche.

In the end, this is entirely a question for Sysko to decide, but my vote (whatever it be worth) is unsurprisingly against. I wish Trang were here to contribute to the discussion, but it looks like she's left (very unfortunately).

2) Aliases

The aliases that Sacredceltic has listed are not me. It's true that I've created multiple IDs before, and here they are: dimasadventures, ixchi, TFO, qilich_omer. I don't remember ever once using them to try to fool anyone, though. Mostly, I used them as a means of contributing without getting involved in the "politics" of Tatoeba (let's call them that).

3) Corrections to my sentences

I've been irresponsibly away for over a year now (and will probably be away for another year) and have just left a lot of sentences in limbo. Sorry about that, and thanks to those who have corrected/discussed them. I don't agree with all of the changes, so you'll probably hear from me on those very soon. I'll do a quick run through and will make a better effort to reply to comments in the future.
