Happy editing! --Aphaia 08:41, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Мелкие разности

Неи стоит править без особой нужды чужие странички, даже по мелочи. Видел Translation teams/ru ? Отметься, если планируешь продолжать эту тему...--Kaganer 12:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

С Википедии привычка править смело :) А насчёт переводов подумаю. Я этим когда-то занимался, сейчас вряд ли смогу совсем уж активно работать. — Kalan talk ru c 12:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

I hereby confirm that Kalan on IRC is me, and I would like to get the hostname cloak wikimedia/Kalan. Thanks. — Kalan 16:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] histComb.js

I almost started to transfer my script here but then I realized it's not necessary. Just put this into your monobook:

Or, if you plan to include other scripts, this might be better:

function includeScript(page, project) {
 var url = '/w/index.php?title=' + encodeURIComponent(page) 
 + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'
 if (project) url = 'http://' + project + url
 var s = document.createElement('script')
 s.src = url
 s.type = 'text/javascript'
 document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s)
}
includeScript('User:Alex_Smotrov/histcomb.js','en.wikipedia.org')

∴ Alex Smotrov 23:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, it's a really better solution :) — Kalan ? 04:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russian localization for Whatredirectshere

Hi Kalan, thank you very much for your translation of Whatredirectshere in Russian! I've now uploaded it to http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/whatredirectshere.php?lang=ru, and it is available via that link and via the language selector that appears at the top of the tool. Please take a look and see if anything is amiss.

Also, as you might notice, some portions of the interface are not yet translated. This is because they are in a separate language file called "general", which is shared across all my tools. If possible, could you please translate this file too? The code for this file is:

$lang['gen_error'] = 'Error';
$lang['gen_db-connect-error'] = 'Could not connect to database server (it may be down); Error was: ';
$lang['gen_db-select-error'] = 'Could not select database (The database you selected may be non-existent); Error was: ';
$lang['gen_welcome'] = 'Welcome';
$lang['gen_invalid_dbname'] = 'Patently invalid database name';

$lang['gen_nonexistent_wiki'] = 'The project you selected is either non-existent or is not replicated to the toolserver.';
$lang['gen_query_failed'] = 'The SQL query failed with the following error: ';
$lang['gen_query_failed_badrowcount'] = 'The SQL query did not return the correct number of rows.';

Once again, thank you very, very much! - Tangotango 14:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem, that was an easy one :) Btw, the word Welcome is still displayed in English. It should be changed to Здравствуйте if the translation below doesn't affect it.

The translation of your array is presented below.

$lang['gen_error'] = 'Ошибка';
$lang['gen_db-connect-error'] = 'Не удаётся подключиться к серверу базы данных (он может быть сломан или выключен). Описание ошибки: ';
$lang['gen_db-select-error'] = 'Не удаётся выбрать базу данных (скорее всего, база, выбранная вами, не существует). Описание ошибки: ';
$lang['gen_welcome'] = 'Здравствуйте';
$lang['gen_invalid_dbname'] = 'Абсолютно неверное имя базы данных';

$lang['gen_nonexistent_wiki'] = 'Выбранный вами проект не существует либо недоступен на тулсервере.';
$lang['gen_query_failed'] = 'SQL-запрос завершился со следующей ошибкой: ';
$lang['gen_query_failed_badrowcount'] = 'SQL-запрос вернул неверное количество строк.';

Made 2 small corrections ∴ Alex Smotrov 16:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Kalan! I've uploaded your general language file now, and the strings in there (including "Welcome") should now be in Russian. Cheers, Tangotango 16:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toolserveraccount

[edit] Russian translation for Mayflower

Hi Kalan, sorry for the late reply to your message. Thank you very much for your Russian translation of Mayflower!! I've now uploaded your translation to the toolserver, and you should be able to find your translation on the search page, as well as in the language drop-down box in the bottom-right hand corner. As for the number of search results, I have a feeling adding that for a lot of cases may complicate the code a bit. However, if I do add that feature, I'll contact you. Once again, thank you very much! Cheers, Tangotango 14:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC Cloak Request

Please drop my cloak request that was filed here. I filed it incorrectly and would like it dropped. Thank you. SwirlBoy39 04:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't see any SwirlBoy39 in the requests table. Most incorrectly filled requests are dropped by the system itself (while showing you the appropriate warning), so don't worry about it. Just fill it in again. — Kalan ? 16:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

What do I put after the @? SwirlBoy39 04:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shuklinism/ru

Please explain why do you keep adding the bad word "Буквоёбство" instead of "Буквоедство". Wikipedia is a near-scientific project, not just some Internet community where you're free to use abscene lexic. --Cyrus7 09:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

1. The page contains an essay, not an encyclopedic article. So there are no strict requirements for style, only common sense. But even in articles you are okay to use such kind of words, for example, if you are writing an article about them or quoting someone.
2. This offensive word is essential there to express the negative nature of the phenomenon. We can do it with many blurry wordings, but it will be ineffective then.

Verstehen?

— Kalan ? 15:08, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Do we really have to use profanity to express it? Can't it be replaced by just a strong expression? --Cyrus7 10:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we have to. See the explaination above. — Kalan ? 14:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• Ah yes, that's OK. I just hate such expressions, so I tried to remove it. --Cyrus7 12:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hi! This is quite late, but I want to thank you very much for translating my user page. It was very kind! If there’s anything I can do for you, just contact me. Jon Harald Søby 21:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Спасибо за помощь себе с переводом моей кандидатуры когда я просил у этого вы чат. Он прощает мой уровень Русского, очень низок. Я не имею прощение, так как мой дед - это Русский. Отношения. --Góngora _(T•ES) 03:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Да ладно, чего уж там. Бывает :) Спасибо! — Kalan ? 00:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
