Translating board resolutions [edit]

Dear Nemo,

A happy 2013 to you! May it be joyful and enlightening.

I'd like to see all WMF Board resolutions translated. We could set up a schedule of posting them for translators to look at, and get outside support after a couple weeks in the rare cases where this is necessary [maybe for some very technical ones?]. Would you recommend using the translation requests process?

Regards, –SJ talk  23:15, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Sj, Thanks for the kind words. Happy new year to you too!
I'm very happy to hear that you intend to improve translations on WMFwiki. Are you interested only in resolutions or also other pages? Most WMF policies, and some important pages, are up for translation at TR or have translations anyway, but activity stagnates because the process is so awful.
With the Translate extension we might be able to get more translations on Meta, but this works only with the understanding that we'll publish them quickly; as volunteers, we're currently unable to promise we'll be able to manage a greater number of translations: we're actually unable to manage even the current close to zero number of manual translations, unless translators are very experienced and follow the process most correctly.
As you may know, current efforts are in integrating Translate with CentralNotice on the same wiki: this was already postponed since September and should be done within April, but I doubt we'll see any work on a push system from a wiki to another... In conclusion, I think this is feasible very soon (only) if you get the Translate extension enabled on WMFwiki.
I'm saying this assuming that your update means that (very) experienced translators can now get an account for translation activities (which currently should be limited to publishing of translations made publicly on Meta) and that we'll try to process all requests quickly, if necessary expanding the currently very limited number of log-active sysops (by the way, someone should give you +crat!). If this is true, you should perhaps ask Erik to ensure that there are no technical problems for Translate on WMFwiki, so that, with his green light, you can request to enable Translate on bugzilla without delays.
If Translate is enabled, I expect it will be a matter of days before all recent resolutions are in active translation; the old pages will probably require more time because one has to import old translations, but with a bit of time that's feasible too. --Nemo 07:38, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Let's start with resolutions, because they are short, finite in number, and noone but the Board is responsible for them. Then we can think about other pages, which have other authors and processes to consider. What objections might there be to turning on Translate for WMFwiki?
As for admins on the wmfwiki: whom do you have in mind? THO, you, perhaps Monomium... I proposed to philippe (on that wiki) that we add a section on wmf:Babel for admin suggestions. If we start improving these aspects of the wiki and there is bureaucracy to be done, I'll ask for a flag. Regards, –SJ talk  05:22, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Ok, starting with resolutions is very fine. I don't know what objections there could be, but you know hat bugzilla requests are sometimes stuck with small doubts nobody can answer, like "what will the fundraising team think", "how does it work with raw HTML" or whatever pops up in the mind of anyone, that's why it's safer to ask someone who has the resources to get all the answers beforehand.
I don't have anyone in mind for the adminship, just saying that there's the possibility that we might be slowed down for a few days in case of many requests by translators with few people looking at them: nothing tragic or that can't be fixed, as you said. --Nemo 11:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Your ungrammatical reversion [edit]

Apart from re-introducing ugly and disruptive [square-bracketed] words at the start of each descriptor, you've re-introduced your own home-made noun–verb issues, such as "Global abuse filter access, and describes approval process (policy)."

The reason I made the change in the first place was because it's an ugly mess that is hard to read. You've made it ugly and hard to read again. Tony (talk) 01:48, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for your report, but I'm unable to find the sentence you mention in the current revision: in fact, that's one of the errors I reverted.
As for ugliness, this page should be useful rather than pretty, and your inconsistent labeling made it extremely hard to read. Thanks, Nemo 07:05, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
You've made it ugly and unreadable. It's typically of someone who has spent too much time at Meta. Tony (talk) 13:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
But grammatical! Anyway, thank you for confirming the correctness of the current revision by your switching to ad hominem replies. Nemo 14:18, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
What just happened? I didn't like either version so I made a third. I assume this means that each of our versions looks hard to read to the other two. Feel free to rv if you feel compelled to, but I tried to include ideas from both of you. –SJ talk  05:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

IW-link name [edit]

I tried to submit a bug on CLDR, but it was closed as "invalid". What do I do to fix this? Put it on Talk:Interwiki map? πr2 (t • c) 20:43, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

No, file a request on bugzilla, MediaWiki>Internationalisation, and ask for Names.php to be changed. Thanks, Nemo 20:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

New grants committee [edit]

Hi! We’re looking for volunteers to serve on a committee that helps select grantees for WMF’s new Individual Engagement Grants program. More info is on the committee's meta page. Siko (WMF) (talk) 21:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Kiwix [edit]

Hi Nemo, is it possible for you to write a brief Italian translation for Kiwix homepage? It's a pity that there is no help for Italian users. It would be good if you can do it in your free times. Thanks a lot Mehran Debate 17:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

That's very nice. Thanks Mehran Debate 18:03, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Language Select bug [edit]

I'm not seeing anything wrong here. It is failing to get the language from my browser (due to the sublanguage) but that was already happening before. Platonides (talk) 21:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Where is the skin saga? [edit]

Hi Nemo! you mentioned here some skin saga that had happened recently? Is there any kind of discussion about the skins going on anywhere? We hate to work on skins, it's so time-consuming and annoying, and so much places to care... I'd love to participate in a discussion about improving the skin system, so please share a link! Katkov Yury (talk) 10:26, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Do you mind ? [edit]

Discussion pages are for discussion, just because you alone don't like the topic, doesn't mean you should HIDE the discussion to prevent discussion. There are plenty of quite pages for you to read if you don't like discussion of LIFE AND DEATH matters that deserve attention. Penyulap (talk) 21:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Lagrande [edit]

I've performed the rename. It'd be good if you could guide her in creating a global account with her new name if she wants to do that. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:28, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

To answer your question, translation in the current logo is correct. We have to correct the size and include a transparent feature, then save it as svg and replace the png file. --Exec8 (talk) 06:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Changed the translation. Kindly assist in having an enhanced png image and an SVG file. --Exec8 (talk) 16:37, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Kindly assist in changing wiki.png of bcl.wikipedia.org to File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-bcl.png and wiki.svg to File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-bcl.svg --Exec8 (talk) 20:15, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. Odder has been so kind to create the logos today, tomorrow I'll request them to be enabled on the wikis. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Redirect templates for old Fellowship pages [edit]

Hi Nemo! With the switchover from Fellowships to Grants:IEG, I was wondering if you'd have any ideas about using a bot to add a template on top of all of the Fellowship pages (pages starting with http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Fellowships/ ). This would be good so that if editors stumble upon old proposals, project ideas, or operations pages they are told that Fellowships are historical and so they know how to find the new and relevant IEG program. Cheers! Ocaasi (talk) 23:29, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Bug ? [edit]

Hi,

I just received the usual notification mail saying « Meta page Language committee has been changed by Nemo bis ». But I can't see any changes, is it a bug or something ?

Cdlt, VIGNERON * discut. 16:43, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you, I didn't know this bug. Cdlt, VIGNERON * discut. 17:17, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks [edit]

Thanks for the help organizing the grants pages' translation group. Asaf Bartov (WMF Grants) talk 18:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

So little. :) I hope you didn't receive too many email notifications, and I'm ashamed I didn't reply to #Redirect templates for old Fellowship pages yet. :-/ --Nemo 18:53, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Interwiki to wikitravel: [edit]

Obsolete as the content is now on wikivoyage:, a Wikimedia project. The links with this prefix in article space have been converted to wikivoyage: links or external links and the corresponding templates voted for deletion on various Wikipedias. Could you please run the toolserver report again to verify to talk:interwiki map that this has been done? K7L (talk) 18:29, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Done. Note that I don't guarantee the correctness of these results, but there are at least a few hundreds links left. --Nemo 18:41, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Most of these appear to be from user: or discussion pages, not the encyclopaedic content. The only exceptions were a few templated references in lv: and sw: which are now corrected to use {{wikivoyage}}. Thanks. K7L (talk) 19:31, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Using Translate Extension with categories [edit]

About mw:Template_talk:Langcat - any news? Maybe you are create bugreport? --Kaganer (talk) 00:46, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

(Bug filed. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC))

/zh vs /zh-hans [edit]

Identical texts:

Maybe merge these pages into /zh-hans (with deleting /zh version)? --Kaganer (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the report. There's little to do but deleting, merging histories is no longer possible. Is it good now (where "now" may mean "in a few hours" if job queue is long)? --Nemo 22:09, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Should be deleted (this was unused redirect prior Fuzzy bot's updates) [edit]

--Kaganer (talk) 21:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Done. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Editcounter by namespace [edit]

Hi Nemo, What would be a query to generate database report containing statistics of all users' edits in all namespaces, Thanks. محمد شعیب (talk) 18:26, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're asking, a rank by total editcount (all namespaces in this wiki)? And on toolserver or what else? I suppose you already know about stats:wikispecial/EN/TablesWikipediaMETA.htm#wikipedians? --Nemo 19:29, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
No, I want to generate a database report containing statistics of edits of all users by namespace in my wiki, like this. this is fa wiki while my home wiki is ur wiki and I want to generate report for this wiki. محمد شعیب (talk) 16:33, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, that table is quite hard to understand for me, are those lines numbers or edits and those columns the different namespaces? I don't know a way to produce such specific reports, sorry: you should ask Reza1615, probably it will be easy enough to instruct the bot to publish the same report for ur.wiki too. You could also check the Wikistats csv, but probably it won't have it.[1] --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

I also updated the User:Cbrown1023/Logos#Wikipedia translation for Pangasinan (PAG). We hope a new logo be created for PAG and CBK-ZAM Wikipedias --Exec8 (talk) 20:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Odder has been so kind to create the logos today, tomorrow I'll request them to be enabled on the wikis. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

/en [edit]

Fuzzy bot was created /en versions in some cases. Why? See:

Maybe delete unneeded /en versions? --Kaganer (talk) 21:00, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

The /en versions are not duplicates, they are the "clean" version in source language without all the translate tags and so. They are rarely of use (except for templates) but do not harm, and can't be deleted anyway. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
These pages are hardly compatible with the Template:Langcat: generates a links to the categories with /en postfix, and these categories clearly unnecessary. See links above. --Kaganer (talk) 15:47, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
I know, but it's usually not considered a big deal. If we care about it, adding an #if to the template to catch this case is possible at any time, isn't it? --Nemo 15:52, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes, but this bad way. I'm for clean solutions. --Kaganer (talk) 17:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, the template is already hackish enough, I doubt this will make noticeably worse. --Nemo 17:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, template are hacked ;) --Kaganer (talk) 18:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

/zh-classical [edit]

This recognize as wrong code. See Global sysops/zh-classical - maybe this duplicate of /zh-hant ?

Yes, IMHO. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Help:Unified login/zh-cn [edit]

No valuaable edit history (untranslated). Maybe delete his? --Kaganer (talk) 21:23, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Done. --Nemo 14:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

The ideal Wikimedia board of trustees [edit]

Hi Nemo, just noticed and undid your edit on the above page - I'm wondering why you undid that helpful edit that removed some silly names from the list and adjusted the information to make it more informative, and less opinion based? Thehelpfulone 20:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. I thought it was obvious, but I've now added a summary as justification. Thanks, Nemo 20:36, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Translation Aggregate Groups [edit]

Hello. Do you think there should be a translation group for the various user group pages? I see that the "Global sysops" page is already in the "Policies" group. May I add it to a hypothetical "User groups" translation group as well? πr2 (t • c) 03:43, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

For now I'm just adding them to the "policies" group, later a help&co. group should be more appropriate. --Nemo 13:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Small Wiki Monitoring Team [edit]

Hi! Please delete two bad tranlation pages (with incorrect lang. code):

Merging edit's history is not needed. --Kaganer (talk) 19:33, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

 ? --Kaganer (talk) 01:22, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
I was not too sure, per below, but better to finish what was started: done. --Nemo 13:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata/zh-cn [edit]

Duplicate of Wikidata/zh-hans. Should be deleted, in my opinion. Any way for block using of "zh-cn" and "zh-yue" codes in the Translate Extension? --Kaganer (talk) 19:25, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

You should ask Liangent. I don't think it's possible before bugzilla:1495 is fixed, see also Help:CentralNotice/Translations. Actually I'm not even super-sure that we should really delete these pages, even if it makes sense because the existing translations can be reached via the language bar. --Nemo 19:45, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Meta:Proposal for a policy on involved administrators [edit]

I'm curious how you deemed that there was no consensus for this policy. It seems to me that the preponderance of respondents approved. -- Avi (talk) 03:23, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Nemo bis closed the discussion to his or her benefit:
Nemo bis isn't a stranger to censoring and blocking his or her opponents. He or she did it to Delicious carbuncle. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 02:59, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Simple, there are only a dozen or so supporters which is clearly not enough to change a policy on administrators. However, that was not the main reason used: the proposer had withdrawn the proposal (although now he may have changed opinion again). A proper closure would require an accurate consideration of the individual comments (which vary a lot), removal of meatpuppet votes etc. --Nemo 07:13, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Actually, as long as there is a consensus of respondents, that is all that is required. One cannot extrapolate what non-respondents may have decided; certainly not to assume opposition. Regardless, it is reopened. Thanks. -- Avi (talk) 18:07, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat#Meta:Proposal_for_a_policy_on_involved_administrators – Beeblebrox and I know the truth. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
  • I hesitate to comment here when the immediate situation has been resolved, but the fact that Nemo thought that it was appropriate to close this himself seriously concerns me. Nemo, do you understand why people are objecting to you trying to close this discussion? Can you please give a substantive explanation for why you thought closing this discussion yourself was a good idea? And for clarity: I didn't come across this thread from reading Wikipediocracy. I have had this board watchlisted for more than a year. Kevin (talk) 22:56, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
    Actually you'd better ask him directly, this page is for requests and we're making a big off-topic here. --Vituzzu (talk) 00:46, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
    Agreed. Questions for Nemo should be asked to him directly. Let's focus on the proposal, and whether or not it has consensus (which, in my biased opinion, it does, with my adjustments). -- Avi (talk) 01:59, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
    Moved from [2]. Kevin, I've already answered, it would be helpful if you could tell me what you don't understand in my answer.[3] Yes, I understand that B. thinks I was involved, but he never explained why. I don't care in the least if that proposal is approved (like most community members, who left it rotting), because it just tries to describe current practices and doesn't affect me at all. More than that, my closure obviously helped it getting some attention, too bad that my attempts at helping B. always get rejected and unappreciated (to the point of reverting my messages on his talk).
    It's also useful to remember that B. is the person with the most obvious and biggest conflict of interest here, because he thinks that this policy will help him prove that a block against him was abusive, and precisely that an administrator should not block a user who engaged in prohibited personal attacks, insults and bad language, if such administrator happens to be target of the abusive behaviour in question. I'm not the administrator who blocked B., and the text of the current proposal would not help B. prove what he hopes: nevertheless, as Meta has high standards, that block was not appreciated, especially because it made it harder for another uninvolved administrator to enact a block as obviously required by policies. However, B. seems to have another strategy: by insulting all active administrators on a wiki one by one, he hopes to be able to declare them all involved, and therefore unable to block him, so that he's free to engage in personal attacks as he wishes against any other editor? Of course, this is only the appearance, as Vito described it more concisely than I currently am doing: he is the one who should care about it, if only he followed his own suggestions, but there's no way to make him understand. This is very sad for him, however little importance his personal sad situation may have in the general economy of this wiki. --Nemo 11:34, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
    "More than that, my closure obviously helped it getting some attention, too bad that my attempts at helping B. [...]" No one closes a discussion in order to jump-start it. There wasn't any guarantee that someone would undo your closure. You've done this before:
    How do we know whether or not you're merely protecting one of your bad habits? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 13:16, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Some template wizardry [edit]

By your request - template {{TNT}} was imported and used in the translatable pages. --Kaganer (talk) 16:06, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! The TNT shortcut is lollish, but maybe if this template is of general use it should be renamed? (Also on mw:.) --Nemo 18:03, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Request for desysop [edit]

Doesn't look like you've been notified of this, so I will do so. A user has opened a request for desysop against you, which you can find at Meta:Requests for adminship/Nemo bis (removal) should you wish to comment. Snowolf How can I help? 06:36, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. It's telling of their respect for process. ;-) --Nemo 09:02, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
No, it's telling of my poor memory when I don't have scripts filling in the blanks for me. I apologize for not remembering to notify you at the time -- thanks, Snowolf. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:21, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Ok then, no problem. I hadn't looked at the request (and author) before saying. --Nemo 13:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Bug 2085 [edit]

I did not understand what it is about? Using {{int:Lang}} - is precisely the "hacky way". But I was just ready to use it. This widely used in the Commons and Wikidata now. Maybe just create all needed subpages for MediaWiki:Lang (by copying from Commons, as example; or create based on {{languages}} content)? --Kaganer (talk) 19:50, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I already imported Lang subpages from Commons, don't they work? How do you want to use them? LangSwitch and LanguageSelect are not suitable for translation/translatable pages, which vary title depending on the language.
Translating system messages is not hacky, what's hacky is using the int trick to transclude/show translated versions of a template (or other page). --Nemo 12:20, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Mission/se [edit]

This page should be deleted (unrealistic to expect the translation; this was undeleted redirect to /sv). --Kaganer (talk) 21:07, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Done. --Nemo 13:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Also please to delete Global bans/no - incorrect code, no valuable old translations. --Kaganer (talk) 22:09, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Please take a look on this comment Thanks. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 16:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

localized wikipedia logo updated manually on mg.wikipedia [edit]

Hello and thanks for notifying us about the existence of a new Wikipedia logo. To inform you, I have manually updated the new logo of Wikipedia on the Malagasy Wikipedia. Best regards, Jagwar grrr... 15:58, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Grazie [edit]

in effetti ci voleva un benvenuto. grazie nemo! --Iopensa (talk) 11:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Note [edit]

Hello Nemo. I have closed the RfDA and, in line with the opinion of the commenting Meta bureaucrats, I have removed your admin rights. I'm not pleased to do it nor this amuses at all; because I think Meta looses a hard worker after all. I thank you for your hard work here and I look forward working as admin with you again when you feel prepared to do it again. With best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:40, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Now I'll be busy removing a ton of process pages from my watchlist! --Nemo 16:10, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Bad news. Thank you for all the work you are doing here all these years! I really hope you get administrator privileges here again soon. --Kaganer (talk) 16:53, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
+1 to all of the above, thanks for your work on every corner of the project. –SJ talk  23:09, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your good works and your passion for the goals of our movement. I'm sorry to see the results of sticking your head above the parapet enacted. I am only too keenly aware that if this happens too often, everything interesting will happen out of sight, which would be a sad outcome for our shared values of openness. --Fæ (talk) 08:48, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Your removal [edit]

Heya Nemo. I just saw your removal vote. I am speechless. I had no idea this happened so quickly, or that it could happen, I would have had a lot to say, if I knew this vote was going on. I have no idea what those people are talking about, I have known your work on Meta for years, and there's nothing but good hard work there. You are respected by other admins, and your oversight of Centralnotice was always helpful. It's sad to see this, and I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. I really don't know what to say, Thanks for all your work and don't let this get you down man. Stroopwafels! Theo10011 (talk) 09:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Not your fault if you didn't see it, the vote was very quick... obviously I didn't bother advertising it. And if Meta doesn't need my help, all gained for me. ;-) Thank you, Nemo 09:21, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

CentralNotice for Contribution month in Canada [edit]

Bonjour Nemo! Ça va?

I just saw you live in Milano! Funny, because I'll be at the Chapter conference April 16th to 22nd... hope to see you around!

Just want to take a minute to talk about Canada's banner request because our campaign start in 5 days. I checked in the calendar, and there's no overlapping and I add our campaign in the table.

I agree with you, 5 weeks is way too long, so let do this from March 31st to April 10th. The phrases are ready in Fr & En, and I'd like to have the messages in this template. Let me know if you need something else.

Looking foward to see you in Milano. Best regards, Benoit Rochon (talk) 16:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

Hi Nemo, logo of urdu wikipedia has been updated, but current logo has incorrect transliteration. Please remove it as soon as possible. Thanks Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 12:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. This is a correct logo. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 13:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Now the logo has correct transliteration, but text size is smaller than logo and text font is wrong. Urdu text font is Nastaleeq such as Jameel Noori Nastaleeq, Alavi Nastaleeq etc. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 09:13, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
I don't think I follow this. ویکیپیڈیا is written in a bigger font than آزاد دائرۃ المعارف for a reason — that's how Wikipedia logos are constructed, and I merely followed this scheme. Arabic characters are especially troublesome (at least for me, a native speaker of a language that uses the Latin alphabet) since their height varies — so I would appreciate any guidance here. As for the font, I used Pak Type Tehreer, which is released under a free licence; can you confirm that this is the case with the Nastaleeq fonts, too? I would rather not use a proprietary font for a logo of a free content project like Wikipedia. odder (talk) 10:28, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Al-Qalam Taj Nastaleeq font released under free license from here you can download this font, Please you must use it. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 12:40, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
I've read the license and it's definitely not a free license, it has all sorts of restrictions. You can see a list of open source licenses at OSI. The rules prevent us from using an unfree license for Wikipedia logos, are you sure a freely-licensed Nastaleeq font doesn't exist? There is Nastaliq Navees although it's an imperfect one. --Nemo 13:12, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
No, there is no any nastaleeq font which is released as open source, although you may use Nastaliq Navees. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 16:18, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Are you able to create the logo with Nastaliq Navees? We suspect it's not possible to use that font on Linux, which odder uses, and he's on holiday for a few days anyway. --Nemo 16:34, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Its very difficult for me, because I am not familiar with photography. Sorry. Muhammad Shuaib (talk) 17:35, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

re: [edit]

Dear friend, in questo momento specifico della mia vita wikimediana, ho tutte le ragioni per credere che le mie capacità, oltre che non volerle, il mondo wikimediano non se le merita. Cmq era uscita una posizione interessante a dicembre presso la wmf, peccato che SF non sia dietro l'angolo. Elitre (talk) 16:03, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

era quella, che ha molto senso (non c'è altro verso per farsi capire se non parlandogli nel loro ufficio), ma io la volevo fare x aiutare la comunità a farsi sentire, non per aiutare wmf a dettar legge... vabbe', nella prossima vita. O anche no, che ne basta una di ingratitudini! Elitre (talk) 17:45, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

IEG [edit]

HI Nemo bis, I reverted the changes you made at IEG. Not because I'm against all of the ideas, but because of interconnecting things and some changes that we already have planned. If there are things you want to see would you consider discussing them on the talk page? (If you have and I missed it, apologies). Thanks! And thanks for trying to make things more useful, heather walls (talk) 17:56, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Grazie, Nemo: ma allora scorrazzi e rispondi nella posta dei Tuoi soci? ;-) [edit]

Ti avevo già parlato che ci vuole qualche gratificazione (seppur magra) se Ti metti a fare del volontariato (nella vita-reale hai il riscontro nei compagni di volontariato..) anche solo come traduttore; qui se non sei proprio un programmatore e quindi dialoghi di software e sistemi da impostare coi tuoi compagni, solo la routine del traduttore ti scava le guance se non trovi una soddisfazione personale che Ti conforti: avere ritrovato quella pagina di indici lì - sarà patologico? - a me mi basta.... Sì, è senz'altro patologico! 'Notte, --Gloria sah (talk) 22:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Grantmaking Barnstar [edit]

Thanks for participating in IEG proposal discussions and for other wiki-fixes - I hope you've seen some value from this pilot and that we'll have your ideas and input again in round 2! Siko (WMF) (talk) 19:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Xhosa [edit]

Sorry, but I cannot (and would not if I could) translate stuff into Xhosa for you. My Xhosa is very limited and certainly not sufficient for that. Besides: I have argued years ago that xh.wikipedia should be mothballed. It has been standing idle for years now and none of the 6 mio or so mother tongue speakers has come to change that. I think it is illogical and incorrect to keep that site open. How many years does it have to stand there empty before people realize the speakers of this language simply do not want to put in the effort? Jcwf (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Please see: Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Xhosa Wikipedia (again). I also hope you will come up with the MONEY to get your stuff translated. Then you may have a chance. A good choice would be Zoliswa Mali at Fort Hare U. (Sometimes in Massachussets I think). Jcwf (talk) 23:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Difference [edit]

What is the difference between Category:Best practices documentation and Category:Best practices? πr2 (t • c) 12:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

There is a difference between the German original and the English text [edit]

Starting from "16. Can a third party commercial usage benefit the author?" the text of Free knowledge based on Creative Commons licenses is different from the German original. Where does the English translation come from? --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 14:22, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Africa timeline [edit]

ciao nemo, volevo chiederti aiuto per una tabella. o magari sai a chi posso chiedere. Sto facendo una timeline per l'Africa Africa Portal/Timeline sulla falsariga di Wikipedia timeline. Il problema è che il template della wikipedia timeline non mi va bene perché

  1. vorrei aggiungere alcune colonne
  2. vorrei che si possano ordinare gli items delle colonne.

ho creato un template Template:Timeline Africa solo che non so farlo funzionare. sai di qualcuno che mi può aiutare? grazie mille, --Iopensa (talk) 10:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

New option on interproject links [edit]

Hi, thanks for participating in the RFC for interproject links. There is a new option that might be interesting to explore. Please check Dropdown next to title 1 and Dropdown next to title 2. They are part of Option 5.--Micru (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Ciao, Nemo, mi spiegheresti se c'ho un virus nel computer o viceversa.. [edit]

Sai, Nemo, dopo anche avere chiesto al'amico Prq17, ma ridirettatami qui, che dopo un po' che digito e vago per la Wikimedia, a un certo punto, compare qualche micro-parola insignificante di 3 o max 4 lettere (tipo 'che' o 'cui' ecc.) che sarebbero cliccabili, stranamente, e se avvicino il mouse, anche senza cliccare, mi compare un riquadro pubblicitario, che sparisce se allontano il mouse di 3 o 4 cm. Dopo un altro po' la stessa parolina non è più cliccabile.. Uso un antivirus che aggiorno ogni circa 2 mesi, ma a me mi assomiglia tanto a un tipo di intrusione virale.. Te come la vedi? Mi puoi aiutare? Grazie, --Gloria sah (talk) 11:46, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Are you going to reply? PiRSquared17 (talk) 20:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

hr:translatewiki.net [edit]

Article started. As my first edit on Betawiki is dated May 2006, I'm fully aware of importance of this project, for MediaWiki, Wikimedia and open source community. SpeedyGonsales (talk) 09:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The Vietnamese version of Translatewiki.net is available. Ragards.--Cheers! (talk) 03:21, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Help:Unified_login [edit]

I added <translate>s to it, but I probably overused tvar. That's a huge page to translate, and most of it is kinda irrelevant to most users. Can we split off the FAQ to another page, for example? PiRSquared17 (talk) 20:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Changing a language name [edit]

See Wikimedia_Forum#.22Colognian.22. Can we report this on Bugzilla or is it stored in a CLDR locale? PiRSquared17 (talk) 23:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Personal account rename notification [edit]

Hi, Nemo. You asked to translate that notification at be-x-old.wikipedia.org, but it's already translated. Don't forget, that be-x-old.wikipedia.org is written in be-tarask, and the notification was translated right after it was requested at translators-l. Wizardist (talk) 13:43, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

No, I just wanted to make sure our users get the translated notification. :) Sorry for bothering you too! Wizardist (talk) 14:41, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL [edit]

Fully available. Just let me know the specific task to be executed on the affected account and I'll do it. --Andyrom75 (talk) 16:58, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Same here. ValJor (talk) 18:49, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
AsValJor said, I ask the same too! Eusbarbosa (talk) 19:06, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
We don't yet have lists of affected accounts, but the WMF should provide them soon enough, so keep watching. In the meanwhile, I see that it and pt translations are complete, but Rename practices doesn't say anything on Portuguese projects. --Nemo 19:19, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello Nemo. I read the page Rename practices. There is nothing special that we do in ne.wikipedia. Few requests for renaming users were made in the past. We renamed those users after verifying that they were legitimate requests and that they didn't conflict with other users in other wiki. That's it.
Regarding the translations, they were disabled while trying to translate at [4]
Thanks. --RajeshPandey (talk) 18:58, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Bot triple and double warning people. [edit]

Your bot is triple and double warning people about the renames. I think it is giving a warning for every flag they have. Your bot should check to see if they have multiple flags. -Djsasso (talk) 17:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

I think it's due to the fact that Nemo restarted the bot several times. I don't think it's counting flags, because the GMD spam page is set to read from this distribution list of pages. Believe me, this problem has been noticed. PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:23, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello Djsasso, thanks for the report. Today the bot had an exceptionally unlucky day, it was interrupted and boycotted several times by European servers outages and it (still) didn't manage to complete its run, although there were (as far as I saw) no mistakes in the input. I had to restart it several times, but it's supposed not to send a a message with the same ID two times on the same page... I don't know what happened: sometimes it's not even due to a restart on my end, rather it sent the message twice (or five times even!) in the same minute, as if it didn't acknowledge the previous edit went through. There were also some other unlucky coincidences that sometimes generated further problems, I'll see what can be done. Sorry for the mess. --Nemo 18:17, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I got the same, and was warned once on a project and twice on an other. I'm not sure it's needed to ask people to review translation on english-speaking projects, such as meta. But thanks for the info and have a good day :) -- Quentinv57 (talk) 18:55, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Well, we also had accusations of "power grab" by stewards/Metawikians and similar stuff, so more eyeballs on notifications, instructions and policies don't harm. :p I hope the incidents didn't defeat the purpose. --Nemo 19:06, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Serbian translation [edit]

Hi, hope this is what you looking for. I am not sure where this has to be posted, can you do it (Vikinews on Serbian). Thanks--Laslovarga (talk) 19:39, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, copied to Single_User_Login_finalisation_announcement/Personal_announcement/sr. Next time, you can follow the tutorial. --Nemo 21:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
I did it same minute ago. Anyway thanks--Laslovarga (talk) 21:23, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Macedonian translation [edit]

Hello, Federico. The Macedonian translation was done some days ago, but I did go to it again now and updated it to reflect some changes. Now it is all up-to-date and ready for the announcement (although I've already placed one at the top of our Main page). I marked it as 'ready to be published' and not 'published' as I am not quite sure that I can really do that simply via that option, or someone needs to publish it and then mark it as such. As for the users concerned, I think I am myself among their number, as well as a few admins or very active users, and probably very few (if any) others. I therefore do not think it necessary to raise issues as yet, given that the aforementioned users are quite capable of understanding the process. If others come to me and inquire with some issue, I will use the page to present them. Thanks a lot for the assistance! --B. Jankuloski (talk) 01:35, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the translations. Yes, the ready/published states make little sense in this case.
Not all the involved users are very active, we're talking of millions of unattached accounts in total; but from what you see you and your wiki are completely ready. :) --Nemo 07:39, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

co.wikimedia [edit]

co.wikimedia.org is the wiki for the Colombian chapter, and the primary language is Spanish. The Spanish language translation seems pretty okay to me.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I also hope that your wiki, being recent enough, won't have too many problems with renames. :) --Nemo 19:28, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Force FuzzyBot to update translations [edit]

Is there a way to force FuzzyBot to update translations, like FDC portal/Proposals/CentralNotice2012/be-tarask, which should have been updated, other than null editing the translation units? PiRSquared17 (talk) 00:21, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
