Vandalism

In w:el:Ελληνικό_αλφάβητο el:user:Kalogeropoulos blocked article on vandalized version and insists on keeping it in such vandalized state. Please revert him to last version by 85.25.73.57 - this is needed because I exhausted all local procedures. Administrators does not have right to work on behalf of vandals. This is against Wikipedia. 83.21.173.183 19:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the changes here, it seems that what he did was restore condensed references and some other things. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

But he screwed table. So rather revert to this should be done instead. Can thou do this? Table still is screwed and no one cares. Note that today version from 18:18 is last good one with condensed references. 83.21.173.183 21:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Someone fixed this table, but this vandal responsible for this is still not banned. 79.191.252.254 17:08, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

They wont be banned, and please do not call honest mistakes vandalism. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:21, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

But he reapplied this twice in identical manner as linked directly above, so it is vandalism. 83.11.48.89 13:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Or, it could be said that you were vandalising by reverting without discussion. If you start calling anything vandalism it could easily apply back to you. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

But these two IP reverts reinstated undamaged table, so they could not be vandalistic. 83.11.48.89 19:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Template problem

I changed this main page [[1]]recently but the templates are not working properly, such as images and background color. Can someone fix it for me ? Thanks --စေတနာ 14:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Page navigation for visually impaired

Today, many articles have spoken versions. Now there is still the question to make those articles easily attainable for the visually impaired. About this I had an idea, illustrated in the test page: http://stq.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPREEKENE_WIKIPEDIA Essential in this page are eight images, representing the eight main chapters of that Wikipedia. Further below, nine sound files have been added. In order to become usable, the following functions should be added to that page.

• When moving the mouse cursor over an image, the according sound file should be spoken in order to learn the user on which image he is.
• On clicking an image, the according page (or in this case a sub content page) should be opened.
• Perhaps: when opening this page, its title enzy.ogg should be spoken, in order to assure the user that he has reached the right page.

Now, the first two functions are already possible in Flash (see e.g. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/buttonsound.htm), I only don’t know, how to implement them in Wikipedia.

Questions

• Is this the right place to discuss such a subject?
• Have similar attempts already made before or are they even already applied anywhere?

I am very interested in an answer. --Pyt 07:49, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from Orschstaffer

It is finally time to introduce Meta-Babel into a class assignment for User:Orschstaffer/Schoolhouse and User:Orschstaffer/classroom. The schoolhouse and classroom as yet have not implimented language as a relative course/curriculum, however, User:Orschstaffer page now has a Greetings: Lead with the perfect opportunity to advance Meta-Babel. I am Seraphim... includes Russian iconography, geography, painters, artists, Russian Orthodoxy, Images with Russian Language, and I intend to follow my one room schoolhouse theme by following the language to Russia and one room schoolhouses in Russia, amoung other global places. This is all new to me, so give me something I may teach to others who also don't know what to ask. Please be patient with me as this is a School Project and a Classroom Assignment. Kindly submitted, requested, Orschstaffer (talk) 02:02, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

[HowTo] create an account on an other wiki, when having a unified account (in french)

In this (french-speaking) discussion page about the unified login, I present (in french) my case of not being able to create an account on a supplementary wiki, while I still have a unified account. I end with a kind of infinite click loop and no solution. I have not been able to find clues or even indications, neither in the french nor the english help page. Thanks for help --Eric.LEWIN (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

If this is still a problem, could you please elaborate on your steps and which exact errors you get? Not sure what "infinite click loop" means exactly in this case. Thanks! --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 09:16, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Logo text on Māori wikipedia (mi)

Just wondering if anyone can help to get the logo text changed on on the Māori Wikipedia? A request was made to change the text to Te Mātāpunenga Wātea here Wikipedia_logo_in_each_language#M under M back in 2010, but it was never actioned. That followed a vote here. The present text is not the best translation of 'the free Encyclopedia' I have also asked on Commons, but that has had no response after a few days Piwaiwaka (talk) 06:16, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Update: This has now been actioned from Commons. All sorted :) Piwaiwaka (talk) 08:37, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Reduce archive rate from 60 days to 30 days

Currently threads inactive for more than 60 days are being archived. I propose that we reduce such limit to 30 days. A thread inactive for more than one month is likely a resolved issue. 30 days is a reasonable time span and will help keep this page more up to date and clean. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I support this for this page, 30 days should be sufficient.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:09, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
