[edit] Site removed from ru planet

Per a complaint on IRC, I removed the blog rus_wikipedia. I don't speak any Russian, but Google Translate seems to confirm. Just leaving a note here :) ^demon 02:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah, it was this revision. ^demon 02:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Planet stuck

Planet entries do not appear to be updating, at least not for en.planet. I created bugzilla:17314. Siebrand 07:28, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] No inclusion Ziko's blog

Hello, could someone explain me why my blog is not included? I asked several months ago. Is something wrong with it? Ziko 16:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Links: are we writing our blogs so that anybody can reach them?

How should someone reach our blogs? From the WMF sites footer, one can reach wmf:, then on the sidebar one can click "Wikimedia blog", then one can scroll three pages down and on the blogroll find planet wikimedia... techblog is not included, maybe we should add it to the Wikimedia blog. And Planet Wikimedia should link Wikimedia blog and techblog in a visible manner. And perhaps our sites should link Wikimedia blog on the sidebar, if we want a chance that people know that Wikimedia exists and is doing something... --Nemo 01:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC) P.s.: Thoughts inspired by this Anthere speech.

[edit] Planet landing page

Seems it just have a only "Redirecting to Meta.." text on the http://planet.wikimedia.org/ page. I think it is suggested to making a new landing page for the planet, which is similar to the http://gmq.planet.wikimedia.org/. As more languages of planet had been added, I think the landing page is necessary. For the order of the display, I think it can be weighted by number of bloggers and number of posts in a specified period (have a maximum limit depends on the local planet settings), for example 7 days. Also the Wikimedia techblog link can also included on this landing page too. Shinjiman 18:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing the other day, it would be great. Create a bug? Just make sure that "add a new language" is still visible. Cbrown1023 talk 05:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
