User talk:Deryck Chan

Verified users

Hello, Essjay, nice to meet you here on meta!

My ISP is w:Hong Kong Broadband Network, which rotates its customers' IPs frequently and has many vandalist customers, and makes me nearly never possible to edit.

I would like to see if it's possible for you to add me to the list of verified users or other permissions that can protect my account from being blocked due to the block imposed on my IP.

As a sysop on Cantonese Wikipedia, I'm especially bothered by the block. Please kindly help me do something.

For your reference, below is the list of my accounts on different Wikimedia projects:

• m:User:Deryck Chan
• en:User:Deryck Chan
• zh:User:Deryck Chan
• zh-yue:User:Deryck Chan (sysop)
• commons:User:Deryck Chan
• wikt:en:User:Deryck Chan

I think you have to contact Tim Starling about that; I'm not really sure. See XFF project. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 11:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot

I wanted to thank you for your translation. Have a nice weekend, take care, Claudi/Capsot 20:46, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry I cannot tell you anything about the quality of the translation, I wish I could but I admit it I am a real ignoramus about your language (I wish I could read some ideograms I really like them and the style and virtuosity your people display when writing them... it is an art) but well I think I do not need to be able to read it because when I read your message I understood that you really care about your work and that you did it in a heartfelt manner. And also thanks for your kind words, they are really appreciated, take care! I wish you all the best, a wonderful weekend and a sunny, pleasant and relaxing summertime. If you ever need something from me about Occitan or Catalan, just let me know I will be real glad to help, Claudi/Capsot 22:24, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

RSVP (Hong Kong Wikipedian Meet-up)

Cheers, Deryck. But I'm afraid I'm also not available this time. There's a pre-departure briefing for the British uni I'm attending in Victoria at 19:30 and I've already booked a place for myself. Sorry, m8! Douglas the Comeback Kid 15:05, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Victoria, London or Victoria Peak, Hong Kong? Congratulations for getting a place, may I know which university you got into? (Do use "Email this user" for that.) Deryck C. 15:17, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

管理員提名

在事實反映你貢獻良多的情況之下，我有意在中文維基百科提名你擔任管理員，以處理一些日常事務（公告、更新、刪除、保護等），未知閣下是否接受？－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 11:26, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

我在中文維基百科只有447次編輯，少於1000次這個「一般標準」，恕難勝任！Deryck C. 15:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

很遺憾。P.S. 香港人真的有意申辦wm2013？--HW^{Chat - zhwp} 07:04, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

正確。Deryck C. 11:20, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

去看看zh:WP:VPN#香港有意申辦Wikimania 2013的IP留言。－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 01:58, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

以及，我建議你們盡快去Wikimania 2013/Bids報名。－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 01:59, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

申辦仍在初步階段，不宜公開討論太多。想知更多，就請出席下次聚會，加入bidding team! Deryck C. 07:09, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

遺憾的是基於一些年齡問題，我不會出席－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 12:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

年齡不是問題吧。2006年香港舉辦中文維基年會，最年輕的義工只有12歲；現時WMF和英國分會各有一名活躍義工，初出席聚會時也分別是12歲。Jimmy Wales 2006年曾說過，香港維基人是全世界最年青的，我們需要更多年青人保持這個聲譽！Deryck C. 15:50, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

真的嗎？！（雖然我比12歲老）－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 13:21, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

全都是真的。我自己初出席聚會時也只有15歲。在香港維基人社群，年齡不是可接受的缺席原因。Deryck C. 15:46, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Meetup/Hong Kong/coming

上留言閱，我會認真考慮。另，開左Meetup/Hong Kong/coming一版，重定向到最近期嘅聚會，改呢版好過每次申請改中維ASN－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 10:18, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

唔係反正都要逐次申請ASN㗎咩？冇乜理由有張長期聚會ASN。Deryck C. 12:40, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

另外，啱啱考證過，香港聚會史上最後生嘅出席者，當時只有十歲！我記得之前有媒體朋友同分會查詢，話有個叫Waihorace嘅人自認係維基百科香港社群代表...總之你出席聚會，加入分會的話，大家好做。Deryck C. 12:40, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

台中聚同台北聚都係長張ASN。果次媒體查詢係1月，WP10嘅時候發生嘅溝通誤會，由於一直未有表明身份，並介紹該「記者」向WMHK, WMTW及WMMO查詢，故可能被誤會為官方人物，實屬遺憾。（香港的確好多「維基兒童」）－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 00:00, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

原來如此。英文維基百科嘅watchlist notice係要逐次申請或者擺嘅，因為所有聚會相關通告都要簡介聚會時間地點。媒體方面，外界有幾理解維基社群內部運作，心照。Deryck C. 16:04, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

另外：你好得閒啊... Deryck C. 17:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

暑假真的好閒...雖然瀏覽量很低。－HW^{Chat - zhwp} 07:20, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, do you know who owns the domain and if they can give or sell it to the foundation? -- とある白い猫 ^chi? 18:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

OTRS volunteering

Hi Deryck,

I saw on the WMUK OTRS Workshop page that you are interested in becoming an OTRS volunteer. You definitely should. I dunno what the situation is with zh tickets, but we need people who are able to help with en tickets. —Tom Morris (talk) 04:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 13:27, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Template:ALL-WP-COUNT

Please do the edit in the local copy and I will sync it on the foundation wiki. --Meno25 (talk) 13:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Updated. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 14:48, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania Admin panel

This is a reminder to all indicated participants for my Wikimania admin panel that I need your answers to the questions by next Wednesday (the 18th). If this is not a good time for you, and need a little extra time, please let me know by talkpage or by email as soon as possible. If you know anyone who still would like to participate and meets the criteria of being an administrator and their wiki not already taken, please let them know as this is the final week to signup. If you have any questions, please stop by my enwiki talkpage linked in the signature. Thanks. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 02:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Importing template - Wikimania 2013

I'm not sure how to import to a wiki, and I didn't want to make a sloppy copy-paste move, so... Could you import a soft redirect template (e.g. en:Template:Soft redirect to the HK Wikimania wiki? I'm sure I'm not the only (causal) wiki user who simply wants to redirect his userpage to his main-project userpage. Thanks! --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 07:22, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Also, do you know what the interwiki prefix for the HK Wikimania wiki is? --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 07:23, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
