IRC

Hello. I see that your nickname has only been registered on Freenode for about 5 days, so I cannot be sure that you are a trustworthy channel regular in #wikipedia-ru. If you can get other channel members to message me supporting you in this, I will happily make you an op there. Alternatively, I have promoted "Solon" who is on the access list for that channel to level 30, so they can make you an op if you know them. - Mark 02:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Solon had level 25. Now all ok. =) ~ kintup 05:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Kintup! Thank you for contacting me. I am not an expert in Interlingua, but I think that I can help. The translations you asked me are:

  • "Play media file" = "sonar archivo multimedia"
  • "Download" = (verb) "discargar", (noun) "discarga"
  • "File info" = "Information de archivo", (short form) "Info de archivo"
  • "Problems playing the file?" = "Problemas sonante le archivo?"

Anglo-Saxon

edit

Ok, I'll get to it straight away! I'd translate the page title as 'wilcume tō Wikimǣdiae, þā bōc of onlīcnessum þe ǣnig cann fultumian,' which is literally 'welcome to Wikimedia, the book of images which anyone can add to (support).' I'll get to the rest now.

  • I had to go out for a while, but I've come back, and it's finished now. Most things were very easy to translate, but a few things were horrid, because so many things like civic engineering, biology and copyright licenses weren't around in those days! I changed Wikimǣdiae to 'wilcume tō þæm gemǣnscipe of Wikimǣdiae'; gemǣnscipe means both 'common ownership' and 'community,' so I thought that it got the message across quite nicely.

I can translate the image of the day and other pages later, if need be.

  • Don't you think that it's rather rude to ask someone to take on a thankless task, and then concentrate on the few words that they didn't notice. I can translate all those words, even the ridiculous 'download,' into Old English, but whereas I have translated 3 of the words on your hitlist, I don't know how to change the media player template... --It's-is-not-a-genitive 14:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply


  • It's ok, I appreciate what you say :). It's difficult to find an Anglo-Saxon speaker because, due to its being a 'dead' language, only a few eccentrics want to learn it, which is quite a shame! I tried to put the things in myself, but it kept messing up on all but the first, so here are the translations:
  • Play media file - hīeraþ
  • Download - brūcaþ
  • File information - cyððu be media
  • Problems with the file - cunnon gē þone media ne brūcan?

Translate -> Romanian

edit

Sorry, I was probably a bit misleading with my comments concerning my language skills. My Romanian sucks...I had that userbox because I grew up in Romania, but my speaking was never great, since I left it soon after being born. I suggest you ask someone else from Category:User ro. User:Iulianu speaks Romanian as a native language. ~ G1ggy! Reply 04:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I didn't get what exactly do you want. Which part do want to translate? Arash the Archer 15:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Template:GeoTemplate/Lang

edit

Could you please translate Template:GeoTemplate into ru:Шаблон:GeoTemplate before you create a link at Template:GeoTemplate/Lang --Steinninn 16:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why you couldn't wait for one hour? ~ kintup 17:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Why could you not wait until it was finished? --Steinninn 17:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ok, sorry, that was rude of me. I'm happy that you made the translation and that no one got hurt in the prosess. --Steinninn 17:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ok, no problem. =) ~ kintup 17:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Documentation for gadget authors

edit

I saw you had done some work on heavily-used gadgets. We're trying to start a library for gadget authors to use. Please check it out and post any questions or comments there — MarkAHershberger(talk) 18:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted

edit

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 21:29, 4 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Devil's Pass

edit

I hope that you don't mind, but I overwrote your stub at Devil's Pass. I was writing a full article all in one shot, and I wasn't expecting to get an edit conflict. However, when I saw that you had created a stub, I figured it would be alright to overwrite a rather skeletal stub. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much. I saw that the English Wikipedia has no article and decided to create at least a stub. I did not expect that someone writes a full article :) — putnik 12:29, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
I was also surprised that we didn't have one, but our coverage of Slavic, Russian, and Soviet topics is rather limited, even when they're available in English. I just watched it on Netflix yesterday. It's not as good as Night Watch (2004 film), but it wasn't too bad. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Starter kit for smaller wikis

edit

Hello, and greetings! As part of a Starter kit project for smaller wikis, there is a work-in-progress guide around Templates & Modules here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit/Templates_and_Modules.

I am reaching out to you with a few questions as I recently learned from a colleague you are an expert in this area :-)

  • I would love to know your suggestions on the Templates currently on the list, which should not be there, and those that are not there and should be there.
  • Is there anything like a note or reminder related to these templates that you would like to add in the "Template description" column?
  • What do you think about the overall document? Is it making sense from a small wiki contributor perspective?

Looking forward to your input! Srishti (talk) 01:38, 9 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
