Trust in Wikipedia

this is Cathy from Hong Kong working on a research about trust on Wikipedia. I wonder if you would kindly contact me at researchingmedia@gmail.com? I'd like to chat with you about Wikipedia of your language. Would you kindly drop me your email or IM (Skype, MSN, AIM or ICQ)? It wouldn't take more than ten minutes, but it would help enormously for us to understand the overall trust-based social landscape of Wikipedia. Thank you!

Statement update

Hi Millosh, thanks for being the first to translate my statement. In return, prehaps I should fix the en-fr bilingual statement... except I can't tell if he meant it to show up that way! I modified it after your translation; please look again. (and moved the "a trustee should" commentary elsewhere...).

Regards, and good luck, -- sj | help translate |+

Help compile Objective Data about the Candidates

Posted to all candidates talk page:

To aid in the fair evaluation of all the candidates, especially those not active on EnWiki, verifiable data about the candidates is being compiled. Anyone is invited to help compile the data since it is all publicly available on-wiki.

But since the people best qualified to help are the candidates themselves, it seems reasonable to ask:

• Which languages do you speak? (voter statement)
• Which projects do you contribute to?
  • For each, when was your first edit?
  • For each, how many total edits? (exact figures not need)
• Which projects are you an admin on?
• Are you a bureaucrat? which projects? when?
• Are you a CheckUser? Which projects? When did you start??
• Are you a steward? If so when were you made one?
• Have you served in a verifiable leadership role on a project? (e.g. Like EnWiki's Founder or Arbcom member)
• Have you served in a verifiable leadership role on at the Chapter or Foundation level? (Trustee, etc)

Are there any objectively verifiable facts that should be included in this guide but aren't?

A calculation error?

Hi, you granted me sysop rights extension recently, stating it was for six months this time. But then it is supposed to expire on 13 June 2013, not 13 April. Could you correct this, please? --PICAWN (talk) 21:20, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

User:Millosh/국어

Hello! I want to suggest new Korean translation :)

국어 isn't correct translation of Korean. It means official language/native language in any country. Therefore, if you intend it as translation of Korean, please move /한국어. And.. contetns' translation!

저는 이곳의 관리자입니다. 기술적인 문제가 있으시다면, 제게 언제든지 도움을 요청해 주세요. 저는 한국어를 모릅니다. 그러나 귀하께서 저와 한국어로 대화하길 원하신다면, 구글 번역을 통해 대화를 나눌 수 있습니다. 구글 번역을 통한 한국어로의 대화를 원치 않으시면 영어로 질문에 대한 답변을 드리겠습니다.

Above is more mild translation. Have a good day :D --Sotiale (talk) 06:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

inactive global bots

Hello Millosh, could you please explain (preferably at Talk:Bot policy#Inactive global bots should lose their global bot status) why you considered the reasons for bot flag removal insufficient? In this discussion, several users have agreed that removing the bot flag from inactive bots is a good idea and that this can and should be done on the basis of the current global bot policy. Furthermore, since that discussion started, this practice has been consistently applied, and 30 global bot flags have been removed up to now because of inactivity. Thank you in advance! --UV (talk) 22:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

As I said to Quentin in a private email, the problem is that there is no policy which defines the reasons for global bot flag removal, which means that they should be removed just in the case of abuse. At the other side, I don't have any objection to the extension of the policy in that way. So, please, proceed with a bit more formal discussion about it (ask relevant people to contribute), reach consensus and implement the consensus into the policy. I think that the reasonable and well enough written proposal would pass without problems. Personally, I'd support such initiative. --Millosh (talk) 12:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Note that the present action is not a matter of urgency and, if so, it should be incorporated into the policy explicitly, not by customs. It is not fair toward the bot owners to demand following "unwritten rules" (discussions on the talk pages are discussions, not rules) in relation to their obligations. --Millosh (talk) 12:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining. I think I will not invest my time in initiating a change of the global bot policy now (perhaps global interwiki bots will become obsolete soon anyway when interlanguage links come from wikidata). However, if someone else initiates and pursues such a change in the global bot policy, I would of course participate in the discussions. Greetings, --UV (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Collingwood CU/lock

I noted that Collingwood has been locked for being a sockpuppet of Poetlister. Could you perhaps also confirm this at SRCU#Collingwood@en.wikiversity? -- Jtneill - Talk 20:41, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Millosh - Are you able to advise how the CU for Poetlister/Collingwood was confirmed, given that the Poetlister IP trace was stale? See also Steward_requests/Checkuser/2013-02#Collingwood.40en.wikiversity. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk 03:39, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

If you are interested in attending or possible running for the board, please go to The Wikinewsie Group/Meetings and indicate which time would be best for you by 26 April.

Formal complaint

Hello, Could you please give me an advice in regard how to place a formal complaint against an administrator? I would like to point out an issue at slovak Wikipedia. Thank you.

A couple of doubts

Hi Millosh! I'm translating in italian your Board candidacy's statement and there are two little points that I'd like you to explain me better in order to translate in the best way.

• What do you mean as "radical" internet?
• What do you mean with "engagement" ? A promise? A duty? A task?

Thanks in advance and good luck! --Cotton (talk) 20:05, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Answering here because of others, as well:

1. radical: The first meaning of wikt:radical ("Favoring fundamental change, or change at the root cause of a matter."). I think that it would be safe to translate it in Italian literally: radicale. The meaning of the sentence is a bit ambiguous, as the idea is to keep Internet "radical" [and open], which is a kind of oxymoron. But, I think that the intuitive meaning should be understood well enough.
2. engagement: The first meaning on Google Translate seems good enough ("impegno"), but I suppose that you can have better ideas, as well.

And thanks for translating and good wishes! :) --Millosh (talk) 17:17, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. After this answer I think you should add "italian" to the list of the languages you can read, at least :-) Bye. --Cotton (talk) 17:26, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Improving quality

You make some excellent points in your thoughtful response to my question. Thank you. You close mentioning the benefits of an open discussion between WMF and relevant editors. The problem with that is the WMF is rather amorphous and everybody is busy with set tasks, and it is very difficult to know whom to approach. I and other members of the Wiki Med Foundation would welcome the opportunity to talk these issues over with anyone at the Foundation who is willing to engage on the topic.

Thank you again for your very encouraging response. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 10:11, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

The quick fix is to approach Philippe Beaudette, as he is Director of Community Advocacy.

At the other side, I think that your need should be covered via more broad discussion. I think that it is sustainable not to have a person in charge for cooperation with scientific institutions, as well as that cooperation with scientific institutions hasn't been explored yet. --Millosh (talk) 20:35, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Philippe insulted me the first time we met online, so I won't be approaching him, but I'll pass on your suggestion to my colleagues. Thanks again. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 02:22, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Spelling and transliteration of name

Would you prefer people to transliterate "Miloš Rančić" or "Milos Rancic" as is currently written? PiRSquared17 (talk) 18:05, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the question! I don't have a preference, which means that I am fine with whatever you choose :) --Millosh (talk) 18:12, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
