[redigera] Wikipedia-wide information network
Hello.
I am Anthere. I only speak french and english. I hope someone will be able to translate this, and I apologise if I did not put it in the right place :-)
I would like that information circulate better between wikipedias, so that all wikipedians can participate more, and keep its own identity at the same time.
For this reason, I recently set a page on meta, m: Goings-on.
Hopefull, at any time, this page could indicate the current discussions, polls, votes or general announcements. 3 pages were already locally created on the spanish, the french, on the bulgarian and the english wikipedia. A global one is now on meta.
Each local page is about general on-goings as well as local ones.
Meta page aims at being about global occurences.
The page is different from the announcement page. The announcement is more oriented toward external communication (such as number of pages, special adverstisement), while the on-goings aim at mentionning community events (such as a new feature poll, elections of board of trustees).
To compare both pages :
- annoucement page on meta : http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_News (this is rather for general and external announcements)
- goings-on page : http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goings-on (this is for community announcement). This page is still under construction.
It would be great that each wikipedia in time, set a similar page, so that information could flow more easily between wikipedia. If you do so, please do set the goings-on page locally, so that every wikipedians on *your* wikipedia can see it and participate to it, and please link it to the meta page.
For bigger wikipedia, it is also interesting to set a goings-on page to relieve the local village pump, often clogged with information request.
For small wikipedias, since it is difficult to maintain such a community page with less contributors, it makes sense to merge the goings-on in the village pump, or in the community main page (perhaps by making a separate paragraph).
I am also looking for people who would agree to update the local goings-on in their language. Please, contact me at my talk page for any support, suggestion and feedback.
Thank you very much for your attention :-) Anthere

hm! Antheres förslag tycks vara att skapa "Wikipedia:Aktuella händelser" (alt. "Wikipedia:Pågående förehavanden" :j), men våra Wikipedia:Tillkännagivanden; Wikipedia:Nyheter; Wikipedia:Aktuella omröstningar och; Wikipedia:Bybrunnen måste väl sägas vara mer än nog! Kanske en ny institutionaliserad rubrik på Bybrunnen blir bra? / Mats 11 april 2004 kl.16.24 (CEST)

[redigera] Jennifer Lopez
On the copyright-discussion page of our (German) Wikipedia, a user refered to the picture in your article about Jennifer Lopez. The picture is deep-linked and I think copyrighted. Due to the fact that I cannot speak swedish I don't know anything about your copyright-policy, but I suppose that copyrighted material is also not allowed in your Wikipedia, is it?

[redigera] Bikini
Hello! I noticed (how could I miss!) that there is a picture of woman in bikini on Bild:BikiniIos.jpg. The titles under the picture say:
- "Bikini Ios från slovenska Lisca." and
- "Kvinna iklädd modern bikini."
We would like to reuse the same picture on Slovene Wikipedia (cf. sl:bikini), but I'm not sure what those two messages mean. I guessed somehow that it could mean "bikini model Ios from Slovenian (company) Lisca". If so, are you sure that the picture is indeed under GFDL? Could you, please, translate this for me? --Romanm 5 mars 2005 kl.22.14 (CET)
- I think Ios is the model of the bikini and Lisca is the manufacturer. "Bikini Ios från slovenska Lisca." would be "Bikini Ios from Slovenian Lisca.". The other sentence translates to "Woman dressed in modern bikini." erif 5 mars 2005 kl.22.30 (CET)

- Thanks for the translation! What about the license? Can we rest asured that Användare:LouiseR is the author of the photography and that Bild:BikiniIos.jpg is indeed under GFDL? --Romanm 5 mars 2005 kl.23.54 (CET)
[redigera] Ivan Gašparovič
Slovakia's president is Ivan Gašparovič. The Swedish Wikipedia has an article Ivan Gašparovic. The inclusion of the letter s with caron in the title is very problematic, as this character is not part of the ISO 8859-1 character set the Swedish Wikipedia purports to use. S with caron however is part of the Microsoft codepage 1252 extension, which means that some browsers will handle it in this context. Creating an interwiki link that points to this title is impossible. I urgently suggest moving the article to Ivan Gasparovic until the Swedish Wikipedia is converted to UTF-8. —213.23.58.216 25 mars 2005 kl.18.48 (CET) (en:User:Naddy)

Hi,
on Czech and English Wikipedias is ongoing discussion if this is real or some urban myth. Search in Google usualy leads to Wikipedia & copies and blogs. Can you please try to verify it with local sources? Thanks. --Wikimol 21 juni 2005 kl.23.50 (CEST)
It was quite well-covered in Swedish media at that time, so I'm quite sure it isn't any urban myth. However, if you wan't to investigate further you can use the e-mail to the court: lansrattenihalland@dom.se Gunnar Larsson 14 juli 2005 kl.01.03 (CEST)
- Thanks. --Wikimol
[redigera] Wikizine
Hi, I am w:nl:gebruiker:Walter of the dutch Wikipedia. I am writing you because your are listed as ambassador of your wiki. I have something to say that I think you will find useful and possibly others of your wiki also.
You know it is not easy for the members of a local wiki to be informed about what is going on in the higher levels of the Wikimedia family. This because of the language problem and the high level of fragmentation of places where you can find information.
I am now making a weekly news letter (Wikizine) that attempts to provide the news of the Wikimedia projects. The concept is to list only a very short description of the news an give the relevant url to the subject. I want it to be short, only give the news that is important for all projects. The target audience include the ambassadors. It is for people who are interested in what it going on outside there own wiki. I emphasize on the news that is practical-technical. The information comes form several "news"-pages on several wikis, the mailinglists and IRC. There will be news I can not discover. If you have news found somewhere or from you own wiki please let my know. wikizine AT wikipedia.be
I can only create one version in something that supposed to be English. I count on the readers to inform there local wiki about the news in there own language.
Wikizine is send by use of the mailinglist Announce-l. It is only used for this. So people can subscribe without being swamped by emails like the lists.
http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/announce-l
I hope that you and others of your wiki will subscribe to Wikizine and give feedback. So that Wikizine can become really a source where Wikimedians can find out what is going on. Greetings, w:nl:gebruiker:Walter PS: do not repond here. I will not see it.

[redigera] Inge den äldre
Jeg har oversatt den svenske artikkelen til norsk før jeg tittet på den engelske, og da oppdaget jeg store motsetninger i faktagrunnlaget, såpass store at jeg ikke vet hva som er riktig. For eksempel i den engelske artikkelen påstås det at kong Inges hustru Helena er gresk eller russisk. I den svenske påstår det at hun er søster til Blot-Sven. Den engelske artikkelen oppgir flere barn, mens den svenske oppgir kun to barn. Den engelske artikkelen har kilder, hvilket den svenske mangler. Kan vi fikse dette? Kontakt meg gjerne på min norske brukerside. Finn Bjørklid - jeg skriver selvsagt på norsk siden det er et nordisk språk.
- Jeg registrerer at etter denne meldingen har ligget her en uke har ingen på svenske wikipedia giddet å svare på dette. Konsistens eller nøyaktighet i en artikkel er altså av mindre betydning for svenske wikipedia. Det er trist. Eller, svenske brukere er fullstendig blottet for kunnskaper i et søsterspråk som norsk at de ikke er i stand til å lese og forstå meldingen. Let me then just repeat some of content in English to ease the pain of helping a wiki fellow from another country: There are some differences in the article Inge den äldre in the contrast to the similar English one, or there are errors in or both of them. Is Inge's wife russian or is she the sister of Blot-Sven? --Finn Bjorklid 23 juni 2006 kl.18.54 (CEST)

- Anledningen till att ingen uppmärksammat detta beror varken på negligering av faktafel eller bristande förståelse för norska, utan eftersom ambassaden ytterst sällan används; väldigt få (antagligen ingen) håller ett aktivt öga på den. Själv vet jag inte mycket om ämnet men rekommenderar att frågan i stället ställs på bybrunnen, faktafrågor eller artikelns diskussionssida. /Fenix 23 juni 2006 kl.19.58 (CEST)

[redigera] Lägga i museet?
Den här sidan uppdateras väl inte alls. Är det inte bättre att förpassa den till museet, och förse den med en tydlig hänvisning till vår Bybrunn högst upp med ett tydligt budskap att det är helt OK att skriva på engelska där? // habj 17 januari 2007 kl. 21.53 (CET)
[redigera] Assitance à la traduction des articles Wikipédia
Bonjour,
Je voudrais annoncer l'existence du site de traduction des wikiliens dans les articles de wikipédia. Et l'ajouter dans les outils d'aide à la traduction s'il existe. Dom 22 mars 2007 kl. 08.06 (CET)
