Connection to other WP projects

Ciao, how can I connect my userpage on Wikimedia Incubator to the other WP projects (en de it ba etc.)? Thanks!--Moroder 17:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean with "connect"? You can make a normal link with "[[:en:Page]]" or an interwiki link with "[[en:Page]]" (like you already did on your userpage). SPQRobin 13:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to make a connection to Wikipedia Incubator from the Italian and German projects. Which is the prefix for Wikimedia Incubator? --Moroder 22:07, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Just [[incubator:]] but that will only work as an inline link, so not in the box on the left. SPQRobin 21:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Vastelaovendj

Jij woont toch in Brabant è? In dat geval wens ik je een sjoeane vastelaovendj toe (als je het begrijpt :P) --Ooswesthoesbes 17:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Ja, 'k woon in Vlaams-Brabant, maar 'k moet zeggen da'k nie weet wat-dat dat betekent. Misschien is 't iets van Noord-Brabant? Volgens de eerste resultaten in Google lijkt het inderdaad iets van ginder... SPQRobin 16:27, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Vlaamse Brabanders toch :P Die feesttenten die je vindt met die idioten erin, dat is het :) --Ooswesthoesbes 06:47, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, nu ik het journaal heb gezien, weet ik welk feest dat ge bedoelt :) SPQRobin 18:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Haha :D --Ooswesthoesbes 07:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Lieve Espekuu,

(poging tot Vlaams-Brabants) Zoude a.u.b. 'n gebruikerspagina aan wille maken ginder (:P) op de Limbuurgse Wikisource? (s:li:Gebroeker:SPQRobin) Anders kunnen andere mensen nie goe weten waar-datte zich bevindt in wikiland. (kortom: anders ben 'k d'enige die daar bewerkt en da ziet er leeg uit :P) --Ooswesthoesbes 18:12, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Alle 't is goe, omda g'et (bekan) in mijn taal kunt zegge :D Een paar foutjes, bv. waar-datte zich > waar-da g'u, d'enige > den enig(st)e (anders is 't vrouwelijk). Toch bedankt, ik zou 't nie eens kunne, in 't Limburgs schrijve! :D SPQRobin 18:22, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Haha :D Trouwens een interressante link daar op je metapagina (http://www.flemishrepublic.org/9/4) Eventjes doorlezen! :D --Ooswesthoesbes 18:23, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

De andere link is ook interessant. Héél véél tekst, maar zéér interessant (vind ik toch). Ik ga trouwens misschien een soort blog maken over Vlaams (en een eigen Vlaamse spelling maken). Want ik vind, er is Vlaams [staatkundig] nationalisme, maar waarom geen Vlaams taalkundig nationalisme? SPQRobin 18:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Daarom heb ik samen met wat andere mensen ooit de Hooglimburgse spelling gemaakt: Limburgs tegen Lèmbörgsj en redelijk tegen rieëdelik. Zo spreek je het uit, dus zo moet je het schrijven vind ik :) --Ooswesthoesbes 18:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Dat vind ik op zich ook zo, maar "da" en "wa" schrijven in plaats van "dat" of "wat" vind ik zo lelijk, ook al zeggen we het hier wel zo... (Wat zou jij nemen in een spelling?) SPQRobin 18:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

In Limburg bestaat het woordje de'ch (spreek uit: thäch) dus net als het Vlaamse da'k. Dat vind ik niet lelijk, maar een alleenstaande vorm is inderdaad iets anders, dah, dâ, dà, da? In Limburg zou het dah worden. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Heh, "komt voornamelijk in het westen voor", Vlaamse invloed? :D SPQRobin 18:42, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

In principe Brabantse invloed ja :D --Ooswesthoesbes 18:45, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Ik zou wel eens willen babbelen met u op IRC/MSN/ofzo (dat gaat veel sneller dan hier!), want het is interessant om met ne "Limburgs taalkundig nationalist" (Juist toch? Ik weet alleszins geen betere term :D) te praten. Dan kan ik wat bijleren over het Limburgs. Alle, als gij het ook interessant vind he! :D SPQRobin 18:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Haha :D *seperatist. Gezellig :D --Ooswesthoesbes 18:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Ook goed :) SPQRobin 18:56, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Heb je toevallig gmail? :D --Ooswesthoesbes 18:57, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Ja SPQRobin 18:58, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Haha :D Het staat in de mailing list van de incubator :P --Ooswesthoesbes 19:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Wat is daar mis mee? :) SPQRobin 19:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Niets :D Ik zit er volgens mij ook bij, maar ik ben m'n wachtwoord vergeten :( --Ooswesthoesbes 19:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

En..? Gingde ne mail sturen? SPQRobin 19:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Ow :D Geduld mijn vriend. --Ooswesthoesbes 19:09, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Oei, sorry :p Ik zie alle bewerkingen direct op IRC, dus lijkt het wachten langer :D SPQRobin 19:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Oei :D --Ooswesthoesbes 19:13, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Elke keer als iemand mijn overlegpagina bewerkt, een stom geluidje :p SPQRobin 19:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Ik krijg dan altijd een e-mail :D (heb m'n geluid altijd uitstaan, weet niet waarom) --Ooswesthoesbes 19:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Email ontvangen & beantwoord SPQRobin 19:20, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Dat gaat rap :D Het duurt maar 10 minuten eer de e-mail aankomt :D --Ooswesthoesbes 19:21, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

From Incubator to Wikipedia

Hi! How are you? I'm working on different projects in Incubator (Mirandese, Jamaican) and they haven't been created their Wikipedias but I've seen this. What do they need tat two projects to became a Wikipedia because Mirandese has the Vital articles and all the interface. --Chabi 14:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello. The Mirandese project only needs a bit more activity. I will probably propose it for approval. So possibly the Mirandese Wikipedia will be created soon. But Jamaican does not yet have a proposal at Meta. Could you please move Wp/jam to "Wp/jam/Main Page" (with Main Page in Jamaican)? Greetings, SPQRobin 14:57, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Chabi is right (thanks my friend). I don't understand either why Mirandese wikipedia hasn't been approved. I requested here and nobody replied. I'm not working more hard on Mirandese Wikipedia because i want it to be approved (seems that i and others have been working for nothing). There are already many contents and activity to be approved. So please approve it. (after being approved i truly believe that more people will contribute because now they don't see that their help is being taken in consideration)

I think that even Mirandese Wiktionary mets the activity criteria and i'm working on it. I think it only needs more the MediaWiki interface translations. So, could someone also update the unofficial status? Thank you - Cecílio 02:47, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I understand you, but please work on one project (for now at least). I assume this is Wikipedia, or are you working for Wiktionary as first project? SPQRobin 00:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

The first project is Wikipedia, and Mirandese Wikipedia is ready to go. In the meanwhile i'm working too in Wiktionary. (i have to say that i'm really tired of asking and waiting and don't see it approved. I think that 100 essential articles were finished one month ago or more. That was our(me and Chabi) deadline to ask for approval, but until nobody seems to care. It was only after that that i requested the Wiktionary.). Thank you -Cecílio 04:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

As I said, you should work on Wikipedia alone, not on two projects at the same time. You should work continously until the wiki is created. I will now send an e-mail to ask the opinion of other Langcom members about the Mirandese Wikipedia. We all care, but I assume not everybody has always time to check requests. SPQRobin 11:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I will only work on Wikipedia from now on(i don't understand what is the problem in working on two projects at the same time, but it's ok). (i even have some files on my hard disk to upload to Wiktionary because sometimes i work offline; so i will be waiting for Wikipedia approval) Thank you. -Cecílio 04:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Any news? Still waiting... - Cecílio 02:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Incubator - Wp/new-mul/

OK You can delete my test-project. -- martinvoll

We got it

Hoi,

Ik kwam net Deze afbeelding tegen op Commons, ik krijg hem alleen niet op de main pagina.. Kan jij eens kijken.

Groetjes, Abigor talk 19:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Prachtig!! Ik heb de afbeelding op de hoofdpagina aangepast. SPQRobin 19:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Prefixes

After your question on the mailing list, I tried I bit and created a little Javascript: see User:Slomox/monobook.js. If you are on a "Wx/xxx/" subpage, it will replace all links with a prefixed link. To allow links to pages like "Main Page" you have to write the link with a leading "|" ([[|Main Page]]) to make it distinguishable to links in the subproject. The "|" escapes the link from further changes by the script (will be added by the script to all links, if you click edit on an existing page).

If we provided that script as a gadget, no user would have to care about prefixes anymore. What do you think? --::Slomox:: >< 02:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I copied it to a gadget and tested it, and I think it could be a very good script. Thank you very much. SPQRobin 15:23, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Kurdish (Sorani) incubator

Hi. In Kurdish Wikipedia we have a home page and approximantaly 500 articles in Soranî. Do we need test pages Here? Thanks, ئاسۆ 07:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. Has been discussed about Sorani Kurdish Wikipedia? Do they want a separate wiki for Sorani? SPQRobin 13:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

A Sorani Kurdish Wikipedia has been requested here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Kurdish_(Sorani) and here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages . --Erdal Ronahi 12:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I know. But I mean, has been discussed about it on the Kurdish Wikipedia (ku:)? I can import those pages, but therefore I need a list of those pages on that wiki. SPQRobin 17:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

No deletion?

See here. I think it's a useless page we should delete. --MF-W {a, b} 09:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The page redirects to the test main page, so it's probably meant as a shortcut. As long as it has a prefix, why not? SPQRobin 17:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Mirandese

Any news on Mirandese Wikipedia situation? Thanks -- Cecílio 03:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

You should keep the test active and find more contributors. The problem is that if mainly one or two users work on it (you and Chabi), and they abandon the project after it's created, we have yet another inactive wiki. So if you find more contributors and keep the test active for a few weeks, I think it will be approved. SPQRobin 10:45, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

More weeks? We are active since when? I bet that we have more content in our Wiki that lots of Wikis that are out of the Incubator. And we may be the two users that work more, but we aren't just two. I think that here we already met the criteria "develop an active test project". I think Mirandese Wikipedia deserves to get outof the Incubator (and you know it)... Anyway i will try to call more active users. Still i think that we deserve to get out already. Thank you for your time and patience. Don't take my words bad but i'm tired of work on Wiki and no results; even more because we already met those criteria for final approval. Sorry for my probably bad English but i was writing fast and English isn't my mother language. --Cecílio 01:07, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I know that you and Chabi have worked a lot and I understand you are tired of this, but understand that we want a stable community with more than two contributors. Maybe you can find Miguelcr to help you. SPQRobin 09:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi! How are you? Please, I want to know when we'll have a Wikipedia. We are working so hard and we don't see any results so we are a bit desperate. --Chabi 21:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

How much do we have to wait for having our code? I don't know what do we have to do unless expectint an answer. Could you tell me something about the process, how's going? --Chabi 11:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. Currently there is not much activity in the language committee, so there aren't any new projects being approved. I know you are a bit desperate, but don't complain here always, I can't do anymore than I did. SPQRobin 20:58, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry. You're the only Wikipedist I know here that have contact with the Committee. We've work so hard and we've seen that Pontiaká has their own Wikipedia with less articles and the same number of active Wikipedists. --Chabi 17:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Acehnese Wikipedia

Thank you very much Robin! Cabaih Si Gam Acèh 03:16, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Shall we see Acehnese Wikipedia in this month? Si Gam Acèh 04:13, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

If it is verified by external sources, yes. Please be patient, the process to approve a test takes a lot of time. SPQRobin 17:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry. But, would you estimate when will we see Acehnese Wikipedia? Thank you very much! Si Gam Acèh 05:31, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

It is very hard to estimate. Let's say within one week to one month (as I said, only if it is verified by external sources to be Aceh). SPQRobin 14:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

What are external sources? And how to make Acehnese Wikipedia Incubator is verified by external sources? Thanks. Si Gam Acèh 11:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

External sources: e.g. a professor, an organisation, ... They are contacted by the Language Committee. SPQRobin 11:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry, but why does the Language Committe not contact them soon? I suggest Mark Durie. His research was about Acehnese language. Si Gam Acèh 03:02, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

The language committee are contacting them. Please be patient as I said.. I can't tell you more than I already said. SPQRobin 15:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Pardon me . . . I am just beginner in Wikipedia. I just to know. Si Gam Acèh 04:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

As I told before, I suggest Mark Durie. He is expert in Acehnese. His research is about Acehnese. See this: Mark Durie page 59. But I do not have any contact information for him. -- Si Gam Acèh 05:42, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I have email Mark Durie, how can i send to you SPQRobin? I can't share here. Thank you. --Fadli Idris 08:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Ese

Hello Robin, thanks for welcome :) BTW, could you take a look at Wp/mcq – it uses wrong prefix: code mcq is for New-Guinean Ese language but the test is written in South-American Ese Ejja language (code ese). This is a very confusing situation, so the test IMO should be moved to correct ese prefix (it's not too late yet, because there's no Wikimedia project in this language), and perhaps redirect mcq→ese should be left for some time. However, some users expressed opinion that the move is not necesssary. What do you think about it? --Filemon 18:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

The policy that ISO 639 codes need to be followed goes before the opinion of users (without a good argument). So, I'll move it to "ese". SPQRobin 18:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Doubt about Mirandese Wikipedia

Hi! I've found this page on Meta-Wiki. It says that we need the project to be verify. Who do that?

I've also found this other page that says we don't need anything but be approved. We can do more articles but it is not necessary, no? --Chabi 08:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Help:Manual is a summary. It's not because it doesn't say it that a test wiki doesn't need to be verified. All current requests proposed to the language committee need to be verified, but currently the language committee is a bit inactive. SPQRobin 11:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

But you're part of the committee no? --Chabi 12:46, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes I am, but I have not the required contacts to verify the test. That's more the task of other people in the language committee. I mainly inform about active test wikis. SPQRobin 12:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Then the problem is yours, and not ours. Have you checked how many articles do Mirandese Wikipedia already have? There are:

• 900 articles, categories, templates, and talk pages;
• 72 redirects;...

900??And language committee doesn't do nothing. I'm really tired of this. No matter how hard we work the language committee doesn't do nothing. grrr --Cecílio 02:30, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I did inform them (so it's not "my problem"), and it is on a small list of several active test wikis pending verification. SPQRobin 12:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I know you're not the only administrator of the Language Comittee but you're the only one we have more confidence with so we talk to you for that reason. I've write to Berto d' Serà a message but he tell me nothing. I've put other message in the discussion page of the community but I received no response. You've told us that you've informed and there is a small list of several active test wikis pending verification. Do you mean that they approve "a group of Wikipedias at the same time" so the problem is not our Wikipedia but the others that doesn't have certain number of articles? I would take this opportunity to thank you all your efforts. A lot of thanks for your help. --Chabi 07:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

The list I mentioned, is a list of all projects that meet the requirements and that have been proposed, so they're all ready for approval; the only thing that still needs to be done is to verify the content (as I already explained..). Thanks, SPQRobin 13:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you give me external contacts specialised in Mirandese? Like a professor, expert, ... SPQRobin 17:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Uff. It's very difficult. The most importante figure in the Mirandese language world is Amadeu Ferreira and is a user here (User:Amadeu) but he hasn't conected here for ages. There's a important page from Lisbon's University where Amadeu Ferreria and other experts have pages:

1. Manuela Barros Ferreira whose email is manuela.barrosoninet.pt.
2. António Bárbolo Alves whose email is alvesunice.fr

Among them, I've only talked to Amadeu and only a few times. I hope it helps you. I'll be without Internet this weekend but if you tell me something I'll read it in Monday's morning. --Chabi 18:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

For Amadeu Ferreira the e-mail is here: amadeujfgmail.com. I e-mail him sometimes and even spoke with him yesterday (in mirandese) by the phone. He usually is quick to reply and he also wants to see the Biquipédia out of the incubator. He is one or the most respected mirandese writer(for instance translated two books of Asterix); and also teach mirandese. --Cecílio 01:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there any new informationa bout Mirandese Wikipedia? (The commitee or somtehing like that?) --Chabi 14:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I pointed GerardM to this information. I asked him to contact one of them. SPQRobin 14:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help. --Chabi 14:28, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The emails that I gave are for what? I'm curious about that. Is there any new about Mirandese Wikipedia? --Chabi 14:40, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

It's to verify whether the Mirandese Wikipedia is really written in the Mirandese language. This is needed to prevent abuse that happened with past wiki creations. No, there is no news. SPQRobin 14:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Doubt

I don't know if it is necessary now but do we have to translate the logo of Wikipedia onto Mirandese? --Chabi 18:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

No, you can do it afterwards. SPQRobin 18:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

2. we één land Libertas blijven. Elke stad onafhankelijk verklaren is onzin. Artikels zoals Relaties tussen Newport en Libertas zijn dan ook totáál overbodig. -> per 2 juli is dat ook opgelost

Certanity about Punjabi Wikipedia

I really enjoyed the talks of Cecillio and Chabi. How well they spoke for their cause!!!! If Mr Khalid and other punjabi collegaues do not mind I would like these to be our representatives here!!!! What they wrote for Mirandese fit for us too. We are also here for a long time, have done all the required work rather more than that. And still we cant see its noramalisation in offing. I am really tired, worked continuously since Octber 2008.Now I can give full attention to tackle problem in its normalisation, in August I will have to join university. Have all those 260+ approved Wikipedia gone through the same process, we are going through ? I have just read that an expert or professor is needed to verify our work. If it was told to us very earlier we could also arrange it.

But I want to here point out that Mr Khalid is also a professor, and professor of language. He has worked in English Urdu (and perhpas German wikipedia) wikipedias. He set tough standards, and I am saying this becuase I have to go thorugh this. I will give you just two examples: On English Wikipedia a map of punjab is given and it is incorrect look at this map [], there is a black boundry line right in the center of red district. It is incorrect. The same sort of mistake s there on two other places of the same map. So the map is wrong although the map is used on English Wikipedia in its at least 40 articles and how many times in other wikis God knows only. But the map is essential for Punjabi wikipedia too. Mr Khalid assigned me to make a correct map of Punjab, it was a new thing for me but afetr spending a day and with corrections I made it, look at it[], in future we will make more maps but at present we are happy we have better map than English Wikipedia. Mr.Khalid has craze for maps and has made an article about a cartographer [],links with the cartographer family, see the comments of his daughter in the article. And it is not the maps only, language is also his craze, look to one of his article on a famous poem of Punjabi,Wp/pnb/نارکلی دیاں شاناں, he counted the words in it,wrote the origin of all words of different languages in it like Punjabi, persian, arabic, sanskrit, english and hindi etc, he even gave the % of these words. He went to home of this most famous poet of Punjabi [], made his picture for Wikipedia

and took an autograph too for Punjabi wikipedia

.

In a nutshell, Punjabi wikipedia already has an expert and professor and he will also join his college in August, but he will be available regularly and how we can abandon it, when we have given a piece of life to this wikipedia, it represents our mother tongue, rather it represent us and most of all we have done much of our work. I expect Mr Robin, you will not mind my words if there is any you feel unpleasant, but please help us to normalise it soon. It has spent 9 months in incubator, now it should come into the actual world.--Danish47 15:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

This policy is relatively new. Most Wikipedias didn't have to be verified. Apart from that, I can't say much more than I did above about the Mirandese Wikipedia. But I'm considering to propose to drop the verification requirement in certain situations. And, as I asked above, could you please give me contacts about Punjabi, such as an expert etc? Greetings, SPQRobin 17:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Danish you can also talk well. If we want that our Encyclopedia should be a reliable source of information we must have tough standards. We should create accurate as well as beautiful pages thats why I changed your infobox for the prettier ones. I am not crazy about maps, rather I have love affairs with maps. I also learnt from you a lot about weapons (you lerant about them probably from your lethal computer games !!!)

Thank you Mr Robin for you positive words. I think your arrival here made this incubator easy to work. I think that every new wikipedia + wikipedians should spend 6 months here, good learning place, I also learnt from here. Every new wikipedians should leanr from here template making, page making, basic HTML etc. Well, you asked for an expert for Punjabi. Here in Pakistan more than 65% population speaks Punjabi. I can arrange, if you want some particular person, it can take time. I also Punjabi well, read, write, speak, know its history, literature well and its different tones. Can I help you if you need some particular enquiry that an expert cn offer only ?? There is already a Punjabi Wikipedia but it offers articles in Gurmukhi script[] and that is used in Indian Punjab, and majority of Punjab and Punjabi are in Pakistan and they dont know that script, they/we use shahmukhi/arabic script. This wikipedia is created to represent that majority speaking people living in Pakistani side and scattered throughout the world. I also hope earlier normalisation of our wikipedia.--Khalid Mahmood 04:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

The language committee needs an external contact (preferably an email address) to verify the content of the Punjabi test wiki. This is needed to prevent abuse that happened with past wiki creations. Though, I'm sure there is no abuse here with Punjabi Wikipedia, so therefore I said I may propose to drop this requirement in certain situations. SPQRobin 13:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Mr Robin, you are really a considerate person. I have arranged for the language committee Anwar Masood [], he is the most renowned living poet of Punjabi language. He is retired professor of Persian language and also writer and poet of Urdu language too. He has given picture and autograph for Punjabi wikipedia[]. To know him more just write his name in google search. His e-mail address is :jawad.azfarictrdf.org.pk , (Jawad Azfar is his son). He can also be available on phone, I talked him today. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood 15:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Can he be contacted in English? SPQRobin 15:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes.--Khalid Mahmood 15:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Should I mention in the mail that the mail is for Anwar Masood? Or do they both use that e-mail address? SPQRobin 13:42, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

He rarely uses email and when uses, he uses his son's address. His son will understand from the subject.--Khalid Mahmood 14:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I will send an e-mail to him. SPQRobin 14:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you !!

What is going on about Punjabi Wikipedia ?--Khalid Mahmood 13:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I contacted him, he assured it is written in Punjabi, but it was unclear in his email whether he was referring to the translation in the email or to the actual test on Incubator. So I sent an email back to ask for confirmation, but so far he didn't answer that email. So I am waiting at the moment. Perhaps he didn't see it and I should send another one... SPQRobin 13:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I am really surprised by these doubts. Wikipedia might have some bad experiences in the past. For our approval, I specially chose Anwar Masood the top most authority on Punjabi poetry and language as an honour. Definitely he wrote about test on Incubator. I am also a responsible person, and I cant waste my time on a fake idea. Can a fake idea face this world? I wish this wikipedia should come into real form soon, as these days I can give it full time but from August 15, when my summer vacation will end and I will have to go back to my college, I will be able to give few hours daily. We are satisfied that our wikipedia is competitive to the regional wikis. You can yourself check our recent article but not yet cmpleted on Germany[] with any 10 wikis of India-Pakistan region and these wikis were started more than 4 years ago and see the difference. Mr Robin, I request your more attention in this matter. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood 15:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I know, and I trust you and Anwar Masood fully, but the Language Committee must be 100% sure, and not 99%. It's not for myself that asked for clarification. I hope you understand. SPQRobin 18:53, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Mr Robin, today I phoned Anwar Masood and talked about your email but he told he did nt receive your email. He lives quite a distence from my home. Tomorrow I have arranged a meeting with him in his home specially for this purpose. 2. I am afraid today again your link system is not working.--Khalid Mahmood 18:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I checked my e-mails, and saw that I did send the mail to his email address. Shall I re-send the email? About the link system: I disabled it by default, if you found it useful you can still enable it through your preferences (under Gadgets > AddPrefix). SPQRobin 18:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

The link system is useful, if you switch it on your self, the better. I chose Anwar Masood for verification, because he is the most famous Punjabi poet today and I thought it an honour for us if he gives us the certificate. I contacted him 4 days earlier, his one old relative was /is seriously sick and he was attending her thats why I am late in getting response from him. I dont know Mr Robin which city you live, if you live in some big European city, you could find a Punjabi speaking easily and verify the text of the incubator. Pakistani Punjabi can understand the script, Indian Punjabis use another/Gurmukhi script. Well it is an opinion just to tell that it is easy to find its readers, not a suggestion to do so. If you re-send the mail, it will be a good idea. But tomorrow I will do something. Thanks for for your time. Khalid Mahmood 19:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I received an answer, so I think this will be ok (other members of the language committee have to agree). Then we can finally proceed with the Punjabi Wikipedia. SPQRobin 07:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mr.Robin, yesterday in hot weather I specially arranged a meeting with Masood Anwar, went to his home, showed the work and even took written statement from him. Here is his written statement

, here while he is writing

, here he is with his wife

. You can match these pictures with pictures available on net by just writing Anwar Masood in google search. I think I have provided the certificate from the most famous authority on Punjabi language. We have fulfilled the conditions more than the required measurement. Now I think it should be normalised. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood 14:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

You didn't need to take a written statement. Anyway, everything is ok now, the Punjabi Wikipedia will be approved soon. Then the new wiki needs to be created. SPQRobin 21:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Robin, thank you for the above dulcet sentence.Khalid Mahmood 10:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Any News !!!!???

Unfortunately not. SPQRobin 22:06, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Template

I have problems with the battle template. I want it to appear on the right. Could you help me? --Chabi 10:29, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

It's fixed now. I added float:right; to the parameter cores, and I added that parameter to the template so that it is actually used. SPQRobin 15:09, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Translation

I've tried to translated to Portuguese. If you need something else tell it to me please.

Olá, 
A Wikimedia Foundation tem recebido um pedido de uma nova Wikipedia na língua Mirandesa. 
Um grupo de voluntários trabalharam arduamente para fornecer conteúdo suficiente para começar. 
No passado, nos confiávamos que a língua que estava escrita na Wikipedia era a que se dizia ser, mas infelizmente houve um abuso desta confiança.
Por isso peço a sua colaboração. 
Fomos informados que você é capaz de dar um parecer objectivo da língua que está a  ser utilizada. Gostaríamos que respondesse a duas perguntas: 
* É possível confirmar que os textos são escritos em língua Mirandesa, correspondendo à definição no Ethnologue? 
* Você pode dizer porque está na posição de afirmar que isto é mirandês? 
Obrigado, a comissão de línguas da Fundação Wikimedia.

Thanks for your help.--Chabi 16:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I contacted him. SPQRobin 16:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

He knows Portuguese, Mirandese, Spanish, English and probably French. I will correct somethings in Chabi's translation (little things). You may need it for something else. Thanks --Cecílio 10:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Other template

Template:Wp/mwl/Anfo biografie It has the same problem as the other. Please, help me with this. Thanks. --Chabi 10:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I did the same. If there is another template to fix, you can do the same. SPQRobin 10:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

But in this article [Antoine Lavoisier doesn't appear] --Chabi 10:45, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Now it does. SPQRobin 10:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

A lot of thanks for your help. I don't control the templates, there are difficult to me. xd --Chabi 10:48, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you SPQRobin. I'm not very good with templates too. But "cores" is Portuguese, it means "quelores" in Mirandese and "colours" in English. I don't understand what that has to do with alignment. Thank you anyway. It works. --11:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)~~

I copied it from the other template. I didn't know what it meant :-) But anyway, it is float:right; so you can change it the way you want. You can put it in the templates by default and remove it from the parameter cores. SPQRobin 11:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

We translate those templates from portuguese but is one confusion of parameters and really (html) code, so it's a mess. I kept the parameter and changed the name. Thank you again --Cecílio 11:40, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Henriku

Hi, I am afraid I don't know how to do it (I mean to give prefixes). I shall ask some Sardinian colleague to help me, or maybe you can send me to some page where I can find some more information or a concrete example. I know quite a lot about Romance philology and I should like to help to revive this Sardinian project because I think it is very important, but I know very little about the technical aspects of editting. I don't understand why my translations of the verb essere (to be) don't link to the equivalents in Czech or other languages.--Henriku 11:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I have looked for this Wiktionary before but I have found this information only: "This wiki has been locked (see discussion). To contribute to a future wiki, see the Wikimedia Incubator project." Can you give me some other information, please? If so, I shall continue the old project. Anyway, the Sardinians are not sure which variety of the language to choose, I should like to begin creating a Wictionary in the Limba Sarda Comuna as proposed by the authorities of Sardinia.--Henriku 11:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much (Dank U heelmaal - if I can still remember a bit Dutch).--Henriku 11:34, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I see, I have found the new pages. Thank you. Now, if I create the new templates (for Czech translation etc.) with prefixes, will there be no problems to find the pages in Czech, German etc.? --Henriku 11:55, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is exactly what I mean. My home Wp. is in Upper Sorbian and I have added some Hebrew equivalents to about 15 Sorbian words, but the templates etc. were created by others, I only learned how to use it.--Henriku 12:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

All right, I shall look at it (I have done so for a minute) and I shall ask some native speaker of Sardinian to co-operate with me. Are there two users enough to start the project? I think there are lots of reasons to start it (almost no dictionaries of Sardinian are available, it is necessary to create a dictionary of Standard Sardinian, not of one ot its dialects). Before I manage to do so, may I continue creating pages, or is it considered "illegal"? Thank you,--Henriku 12:27, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I shall probably ask for some more advice. Tot ziens, --Henriku 12:40, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Good evening, I am one of the four persons who want to start the Sardinian Wiktionary. May I take part in the discussion concerning the creation of this project, please? Thank you,--Henriku 21:39, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Please do not share a user account. You should each have an own account. SPQRobin 00:13, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't understand - we do not share the same account, we have separated accounts. I have just asked whether a person who proposes a creation of a new project can participate in the discussion in favour of this project.--Henriku 10:03, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Of course! I thought you meant take part in the discussion/talk here. Never mind :-) SPQRobin 15:49, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I shall write something in favour of the project in a few days. I see Omnipoedista who is participating in the Dalmatian Wp. project (Veglioto) is backing it in the very proposal.--Henriku 16:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Links

Mr. Robin, the easy system of link making you introduced, I am afraid, is not working.--Khalid Mahmood 14:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

It is not perfect, and I plan to make a better one. But, if there is a specific example in which it doesn't work, please show me. Thanks, SPQRobin 18:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The link problem is over. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood 19:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Prefixing Pages

I have a question,

Is there a way to add the prefix to pages without redirecting/ moving them to a new page with the prefix? I do not know how to do so. Thanks

Wn/eu

Hi, some words of the left panel are not translated into Basque (eu). Some words are translated, but others aren't. These are the words that must be translated:

• Manual =====> Eskuliburua
• Sandbox =====> Proba orria
• Donate ======> Dohaintza

Also when I put CURRENTMONTHNAME, the name of the month (and in the case of the days too) is in English and not in Basque. Could you please fix these things? --An13sa 19:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. One last thing, can I use this template in the Basque wikinews incubator project? How can I put it?

Sardinian Wiktionary

Good evening, Robin. Let me ask you two questions, please:

1. We have 84 pages already (in fact 83, because only by error I have created an extra category "Limba ungherese"), 73 entries and 11 (in fact 10) other pages, but in the main page of our Wiktionary I see still number 59. What does it depend on, please?

2. I have mentioned en extra category created be error. Who has the right to delete it, please? Is it you, or may we do it ourselves?

I know we have to provide some information about the language and some arguments in favour of this Wiktionary. I have prepared some presentation and I have sent it to some (nearly) native speakers of English to correct the text. After presenting it maybe I shall ask you to see whether we have done everything we had to do from the formal point of view. I'm a specialist in Romance philology, but I know only very litte about this project and we should not like to lose this chance only because of some formal mistake. Have a nice evening, --Henriku 19:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Robin. As to the first point (It counts all pages in Category:Wt/sc and its subcategories. So you should add all your pages to these categories.), all the 83/84 pages I mention are in the category Wt/sc, but the number in the main page is 59.--Henriku 20:30, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Dank U heelmaal. Goede nacht!--Henriku 20:50, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Good evening, Robin. I looked at the statistics of the Sardinian Wiktionary on Catanalysis. Our main page was showing 110 pages, in Catanalysis number 50 only appeared. I have created 5 new articles, now there appears number 55 in Catanalysis. Is it all right, please?

Best regards, --Henriku 21:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Where did you look? If I look at Catanalysis, it shows 183 pages at this moment. SPQRobin 21:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Good evening, that's right, but at this moment it shows 33 new pages this month - we have created at least 135 new pages this month, since July 2nd, I think. You can look at our main page (Pàgina printzipale) and at Category Wt/sc - most of these pages have been created by myself and completed by Marcedu and El Mexicano, some of them have been created by Marzedu. Some new templates have been created, too. I use to look at this page - the number of new articles created this month seems to be still smaller. I can't understand it, maybe there is something wrong. Good night.--Henriku 20:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't know, perhaps its copy of the Incubator database is outdated. SPQRobin 15:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Mirandese Wikipedia

I've been out 15 days. Tell me how's going the Mirandese Wikipedia project please.--Chabi 13:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

See a few sections above. SPQRobin 14:59, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

So you need someone that tells you if it is Mirandese? --Chabi 15:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you know this from #Doubt about Mirandese Wikipedia. I asked you for someone to contact. SPQRobin 16:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

We gave you the direction of Amadeu Ferreira.--Chabi 16:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Tha email of Amadeu Ferreira is amadeujfatgmail.com. Has he answer you? --Chabi 10:34, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

As I said above, I had contacted him already but he didn't respond. Now I resend an email, and he answered, so the confirmation is ok, and the Mirandese Wikipedia will be approved soon. After that, the wiki needs to be created. SPQRobin 20:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

So, could you give us one possible date of when the wiki could be approved...and created? As you can imagine we are anxious to see that happening. Thank you. --Cecílio 21:44, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I have done what I could. I am waiting as well. SPQRobin 21:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Please, could you tell me how is going the board approval of Mirandese Wikipedia? Thanks for your help. --Chabi 09:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I will tell you when I know something! Please don't ask me every week or so. I can't do anything about it that the approval process is so slow. SPQRobin 23:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Translations

Hi, I'd like to help translating this to spanish and french, for newcomers. Should I write my name in the 2nd section to be allowed to translate, or did I misunderstand and it is elsewhere. Thanks and sorry if the question is so dumb, it's just that there are no other names there...--Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 16:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello. You should request it there, but it actually doesn't matter where you place your request, because it's just that I know someone wants it. Therefore I gave you translator rights now. Btw, thanks for translating! I'm very happy someone wants to translate to Spanish because it's very difficult to find someone! Thank you, SPQRobin 16:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I just sent the translation of your toolserver tool. I hope it came allright. If you also need some help for translating french, just tell me, I am not native but I can try my best. I am trying to help at the berber languages but lots of people there just speak arabic and french, and usually not a word of english, so I think it would be good. And also for all those potential users from the whole french-speaking sub-saharan Africa. Thank you, --Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 01:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I just discovered I made a mistake. I translated [[MediaWiki:Teswiki-contribute/fr]] not realizing that you had already translated it at [[MediaWiki:Testwiki-contribute/fr]]. Was the misspelling there on purpose, so that it appears in red? Did I do wrong substituting MediaWiki:Teswiki-contribute/fr by MediaWiki:Teswiki-contribute/ar? I also found out that here the link down the message has two dots before org instead of one, but I don't know if it is on purpose... Thanks--Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 02:19, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I think I still have problems with that last one. Could you translate MediaWiki:Testwiki-text-approved to french so that I can know which words I have to leave in english and which not? I'm not good with programming language...--Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 02:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, if it works fine then there's no problem. Tell me eventually if you need something else to be translated into spanish. Cheers, --Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 05:27, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Unprefixed pages

Unprefixed pages

Excuse me, please, what is wrong with "Category:Wt/sc templates (◄)" and "Category:Wt/sc templates de is coniugatziones (◄)" and what exactly should we have to do to correct it? Thank you,--Henriku 19:12, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

All pages, templates and categories should have "Wt/sc/", so "Category:Wt/sc templates" should be "Category:Wt/sc/Templates". Categories can't be moved, so you should recategorise them. There is already a correct category: Category:Wt/sc/Template lingua testo. Thank you, SPQRobin 19:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mr Robin, you sent us the best news of the year. It simply electrified us. Thank you x 100--Khalid Mahmood 01:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I have checked the pages. They are fine. Please change the font and use Tahoma with a bit bigger size.--Khalid Mahmood 02:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC) Thanks for this big task. Can front page be imported ? And this logo Khalid Mahmood 15:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

The Main Page is fixed. About the logo: It should be 135 × 155 pixels and transparent. After it is fixed, please file a bug at Bugzilla. Regards, SPQRobin 15:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Robin. Now I am waiting Danish's work as he is responsible for front page. One thing more the article count on front page is not correct. It is showing the figure of 2014. I think it is near to 2615.

Mr Robin, please use this image as logo on Punjabi Wikipedia, I have modified it to 135 × 155 pixels. Danish47 16:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I made the logo transparent. You should now file a bug at Bugzilla to request to set this logo. SPQRobin 17:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Mr Robin, thanks for your help. There are a few problem I would like to mention: Interwiki links cannot be made, Article counter says that we are on 2016 but according our own counting we are on 2616 and Punjabi wikipdia is not on the list of wikipedias. Danish47 13:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Please see Help:Wiki creation and bugzilla:20214. SPQRobin 14:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mr Robin,Punjabi Wikipedia's article counter [] still shows 600 less articles as compare to Incubator counter.

Mirandese Wikipedia

I've seen the domain. Can we start doing articles? What do I have to do to be administrator? --Chabi 20:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes you can start there. You can request temporary adminship on m:RFP, or normal adminship after a community vote on the new project. SPQRobin 20:31, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

But the main page wasn't created...Can we edit it?

Another doubt: this bot will fix every wrong link ("../link/"), right?

Juts another doubt, for the Wiki logo, there's any source(PNG) so i could edit it more easily in Photoshop? The text should be "Biquipédia La Anciclopédia Lhibre". Thanks --Cecílio 20:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I fixed the Main Page (it was still in the history). The bot will indeed fix all links. About the logo, this file is the standard English logo. SPQRobin 21:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Could you tell me if this logo could be used(it was created by me)? How do i replace the actual image? Thanks and sorry for so many questions. --Cecílio 05:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I have changed the logo so it uses the original logo. I uploaded it to Wiki.png at mwl.wikipedia and I protected it (which is usually done). Now you should file a bug at Bugzilla to request to set Wiki.png as logo. Regards, SPQRobin 11:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Interwiki links

There appears to be problems linking the existing wikipedias editions to the new wikipedias. For example:

• Sorani
• Acehnese
• Punjabi
• Mirandese

Please see bugzilla:20214 for this issue. Regards, SPQRobin 23:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

ckb.wikipedia

Hi. We have a lot of articles in ckb but Special:Statistics shows only 44! We need a bot for deleting useless contents in articles ( {{Rtl}}, {{/Rtl}}, {{ckb}} and [[Kategorî:سۆرانی]] or [[category:سۆرانی]]) we dont need them anymore. Please change sitename to "ویکیپیدیا". Thanks,--ئاسۆ 12:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

There are more than 44 pages (see Special:AllPages), so Special:Statistics is outdated. It should display the correct number soon. To delete pages, request temporary adminship on m:RFP to delete them manually or ask someone else for a bot. My bot is not working currently. To change the sitename, you should file a bug at Bugzilla. SPQRobin 12:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the problem of number, is not matter of outdating. It decreased! Also Search function and AJAX suggestions only search in that few articles. 217.218.40.242 04:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I can't think of something else than being outdated... Wait a bit longer, and if it's then still not right, please file a bug at Bugzilla. SPQRobin 23:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
