 * We often ask for some context on the talk page for why an interview subject was selected and how they were contacted &mdash; especially as you weren't at the parade for the interview &mdash; if you see what I mean. Heavy Water (talk) 02:09, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Maïwenn is a friend of mine who attended the event. I saw she was posting on Instagram about being there, and I was already planning on writing an article about the festival, so I asked her a few questions which you can see on the Google Photos link. Asheiou (talk) 11:29, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Admittedly, the sourcing is not optimal. Maïwenn, in the screenshot-documented conversation, doesn't exactly make clear this did happen this year, which only Ouest-France does. But, Le Télégramme anticipates the festival in great detail, and noting there appear to be no other post-festival sources, I think this is sufficient. Heavy Water (talk) 02:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Side note: I seemed to have sighted the article when fixing a category, though this is supposed to be left until publishing. SVTCobra 13:26, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Finistère
@Heavy Water I don't see how "Finistère department of the west of France" is a statement that requires sourcing. Finistère as a term only refers to the westernmost department in metropolitan France. Asheiou (talk) 20:47, 26 June 2023 (UTC)


 * That it is the only Finistère doesn't matter. "[D]epartment of the west of" is unsourced, and it certainly doesn't meet WN:CS' common-knowledge standard of "France is in Europe". Heavy Water (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * is part of . But since Brittany is considered historic and is not a name of any administrative division of France, it should probably be avoided. Brittany should definitely not be used in the title and unmentioned in the text of the article. SVTCobra 23:57, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Surely this depends on the audience? Not everyone in the world knows where Oregon is, but would you require a citation for "northwestern U.S."? Asheiou (talk) 16:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * We write for an international audience, so...I would require a citation for Oregon being in the "northwestern U.S.," yes. We prefer to err on the side of extreme caution with the common-knowledge standard. Heavy Water (talk) 00:12, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Re. Sourcing of translations
@Heavy Water I agree that translations shouldn't require a source, because in my opinion that would also stipulate "no non-English sources", making reporting on issues that have little English-language coverage nigh on impossible. Asheiou (talk) 01:04, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that consequence. Good thinking. Heavy Water (talk) 02:01, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
