Day 2

edit

Good Afternoon David

I went through the task for today, unfortunately our internet is very slow in the afternoon, there are so many ways in which you can search for an article, and I liked the one with stubs (which gives you the A-Z category on the subject. i feel like an IT guru now (maybe not yet). blessed day

I'm glad you're making progress and learning new things! Don't worry too much about trying to do each exercise on the day it's listed for, but when you get a chance to use the internet at a better time, you can catch up two days at once, or review something that you didn't quite understand earlier. We'll also go over the material in the 2 day course again. --Slashme (talk) 14:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

DAY 3 & 4

edit

Good day David

I just went through exercises for the 17 & 18th. I now understand that in order to use Wikipedia for my research, I should first ensure that the information is accurate and reliable - checking the current and previous version of the page; and also check some of the citations.

Blessed day!!!

Good work! I think this is some of the most important material in the whole course, so if you remember that and show others who need to use it in research, you've made a good step forward. --Slashme (talk) 21:17, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Translating on Xhosa Wikipedia

edit

Hi Nmgoqi. Molo. :)

My name is Anna. Jina langu ni Anna. :) I work for the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. Nimefurahi kuonana na wewe. Nice to meet you. :)

I'm writing to you because you were an active isiXhosa Wikipedian not too long ago and I hope you are able to volunteer again.

I've posted several notices on the Community Portal about en:VisualEditor. See: 53, 60, 61, and 62. Could you please translate my messages into isiXhosa?

Would you also please help translate the User interface and the User guide before VisualEditor is deployed next month. All you need to do is start an account at translatewiki.net. There's more information on the translating work at MediaWiki: Translation Central.

Please try out VisualEditor before the rollout. To enable VisualEditor now, go to your "Preferences", select "Beta Features", and check the box to enable "VisualEditor". Tell us what you like and what you don't like, what works well and what could be improved. You can reply here, on my talk page, or you can email me.

Enkosi kakhulu. :) Thank you for all you have done for Xhosa Wikipedia. :)
