:::::My French is subpar, but that sentence doesn't read like sensible French to me: She's saying the titles show the objective of the work, which is not "to elaborate a new theory of translation, but to...", but using "pour mettre en ... l'original," to finish the clause just doesn't make sense to me (set the original?), nor would it with the rest of the sentence. Also, note that the next paragraph then starts: "La troisième partie"; well what happened to the second part?

==== Avicenna in "Arabic alchemy" ====
<!-- Please leave the Subject/headline blank, but do change "Description of request" to something more meaningful. -->
Hi, "Georges C. Anawati (1996), "Arabic alchemy", in Roshdi Rashed, ed., Encyclopedia of the History of Arabic Science, Vol. 3, p. 853–885 [875]" is used as a reference twice in the [[Avicenna]] article, once to provide a list of four works by Avicenna, once to support the statement: "Among his works on alchemy, Liber Aboali Abincine de Anima in arte Alchemiae was the most influential, having influenced later medieval chemists and alchemists such as Vincent of Beauvais". Please could someone send me the article, or if that's too much, the relevant pages on Avicenna / Ibn Sina. One of the things I'm interested in is whether Avicenna actually wrote the works listed in the [[Avicenna]] article, as another Anawati reference I found said Avicenna did not write three of four works attributed to him. Thanks.

:Sent. I hate it when sources are misrepresented. Anawati on 375–6 is explicit in saying that he agrees with Ruska that ''De anima'' is a fake. --<font face="georgia">[[User:Atethnekos|Atethnekos]] </font><font face="georgia" size="1">([[User talk:Atethnekos|Discussion]], [[Special:Contributions/Atethnekos|Contributions]])</font> 21:41, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
::Thank you. I'm afraid the misrepresentation of the source is not exactly a surprise, this is part of the [[WP:Requests_for_comment/Jagged_85]] cleanup. Still clearing up his mess nearly four years later. --[[User:Merlinme|Merlinme]] ([[User talk:Merlinme|talk]]) 09:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Merlinme}} Thank you for pointing out that case to me. Anecdotally I have noticed such "boosterism"; I guess I'm not the only one. People who take part in such an activity may think they are improving the reputations of their favoured groups, but when their activity is discovered, their groups' reputations are harmed because the groups become associated with this dishonest behaviour. Also, the level of trust about claims on the topic is diminished: If such behaviour were ubiquitous for a topic, then people would simply ignore everything said about the topic, because they wouldn't trust any of it. The topic would become ignored entirely: The exact opposite of what the boosters might hope. And then there is the real harm: The people who have more than a passing interest in the topics start by being misinformed, but then—when they go on to read more on the topic—they become confused due to the conflicting reports, and their whole progress in understanding the topic is retarded. --<font face="georgia">[[User:Atethnekos|Atethnekos]] </font><font face="georgia" size="1">([[User talk:Atethnekos|Discussion]], [[Special:Contributions/Atethnekos|Contributions]])</font> 04:34, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Atethnekos}}The Jagged_85 case is in a class of its own. I sincerely hope we never see anything like it again. What made his edits so damaging was that they ''looked like'' they were well sourced. A lot of editors don't check references; very few indeed check references which are not available online, and Jagged_85 frequently used hard to check sources with incomplete references. This was made far worse by his prodigious output, at one point he was in the top 100 editors by number of edits. He would copy the same bad material with bad references into a dozen articles. Not only does the boosterism cause confusion and perhaps even a backlash against the exaggeration, it's immensely damaging to Wikipedia's reputation. Wikipedia references are supposed to be how you know an article is well-sourced; if you can't trust what look like good references to scholarly articles, Wikipedia is nearly useless. Some of his mistakes have been used as examples in newspapers to show how unreliable Wikipedia is. I was never quite sure if they were mistakes; at the very least, he made definitive statements about things he didn't understand. Sometimes what he wrote was so ridiculous (Avicenna was the first to describe the lever was one of my favourites) then he must surely have known that he was essentially making it up.
::::It can take 100 hours work to clean-up even one article, given how time consuming it is to track down all the references. It also requires a fair amount of understanding quite difficult sources. One of his favourite tactics was to use an article that mentions X and Y to say that X ''invented'' Y, and you have to understand what the article actually does say before you can correct his edit. I did a philosophy degree and I'm happy skimming scholarly articles to get the required information, but I can understand why few others have the understanding and patience to get involved. The time I have available is fairly limited, although I have a bit more at the moment. If you feel the urge to get involved, I'm sure your help would be much appreciated. --[[User:Merlinme|Merlinme]] ([[User talk:Merlinme|talk]]) 18:38, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
