[edit] Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Swati Wikipedia‎

Dear colleague, I saw your vote supporting close Wikipedia siSwati. I don´t know if you had visited, before your comment, the WP:ss. Moreover, I cannot to Know what you consider is activity.

I visit WP:zea (Zeêuws), where you collaborate. It has a similar number of users (84 zea: versus 87 ss:), so we could compare both. Of course zea: is more developed, 124 articles, and 2.459 editions. In the other side ss: has 35 articles and 910 editions. But these stats are from the projects exist.

I would like you attend these aspects:

1. May 19, when it is proposed to close, ss: have "2" articles. We have today "35", only in one month.
2. A Wikipedia project is not consider small (tiny) from 100 articles. In such case, it not should be closed.
3. The last month we have realized in ss: "500" editions.
4. The average of editions per day, in this last month, is bigger in ss: than in zea:.

I don't believe these wikis are inactive. But you are free to think so.

Thanks for yous time. Best regards.--Jatrobat 09:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Can you stop the closure? I want to create articles, I speak Wolof. here. SF-Language 09:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bah

You're too fast for me.[1] :P EVula // talk // 06:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I was slow :) 2 minutes... :( --OosWesThoesBes 06:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, you still beat me to the tagging, meaning I'm even slower than you, so I'm not in a position to complain about you. ;) EVula // talk // 06:45, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

You're not much slower. Five seconds after I tagged it for deletion I had a reply on my talk page! :) --OosWesThoesBes 06:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Volapük

Hi Oostwesthoesbes, I've seen you apparently removing some supporting votes for the closure proposal for the Volapük Wikipedia -- of course I'm against closure, but isn't this going a bit too far? I have restored the votes. (Or did I understand something wrong?). --Smeira 11:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

They're just votes. On Oppose is also a vote of user with the greek letters deleted. --OosWesThoesBes 11:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

True, but because it was duplicated; a user cannot vote twice. But the ones you eliminated didn't vote twice, did they? Or is it because they didn't justify their vote? Is it necessary to always add a reason? --Smeira 02:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I though that that Greek had only voted once, just like the others. I deleted those votes because indeed nothing was justified. And I thought it really is one of the necessary things. --OosWesThoesBes 06:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Limburgse Wikipedia

Wilt u mij alstublieft deblokkeren? Ik heb misschien dan wel iets verkeerds gedaan, maar dat is geen reden om mij zolang geblokkeerd te houden. Ik heb mijn gedachten over het Limburgs veranderd en vind het nog steeds geen taal, maar een Wikipedia mag het toch hebben. Ik weet dat u geen moderator bent, maar u kunt misschien overleggen met de moderatoren op de Limburgse Wikipedia? JHaeneberghen 08:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Ik zal het er met de systeemwerkers over hebben. Ik beloof je nieks. --OosWesThoesBes 08:38, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for corrections

I could suppose that Google translator is bad with Dutch. I remember that it was useless even with German a year or two ago. But, something is better then nothing :) --Millosh 13:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was not much work! Hajje :) --OosWesThoesBes 13:50, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hai Ooswesthoesbes, Merci vuur 't verwelkómme. ;-) Ich wól dich effe vraoge ofs doe mesjiens de Limburgse sitenotice kins verangere, want d'r sjtaet "d'n waereld", wat "de waereld" mót zin. Volges d'r grammair mót "d'n" neet op die plaatsj, ómdat dat woeërd mit de lètter w begint. Zous te dao nao wille kieke? Groete, --Tibor 16:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Aha, nog ins danke! Op de Limburgse Wikipedia en Wiktionair sjtónt trouwes nog väöl tekste in 't Nederlands, bevuurbeeld "Speciaal:RecenteWijzigingen" es te in d'r adresbalk kieks.

Nae, det wèrk via de BetaWiki. Die väöle tekste in 't Hollensj komme door 1. Nederlands is de fallback veur 't Limburgs, dus wo nag gein limburgse vertaling is, is 't Nederlands in gebroek. 2. Oppe li.wikipedia waere neet alle tekste van de BetaWiki gebroek omdet ze d'r al wore veurdet ich de interface vertaald haj, dees tekste kinne foute bevatte. Óm dae link te verangere höbse volges mich translator-rechte neudig. Bekiek dich de betaWiki meh 'ns esse tied höbs. --OosWesThoesBes 17:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Good :) We can always need help there. You can change those names then via betawiki:Special:Magic, please leave a message at betawiki:Betawiki:Translator to get the status. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 17:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Clarification

Hello,

For a case like Aeres, even if they had obtained an ISO code, an active community, and translated the interface, they would still need to demonstrate that the language isn't just used by, say, 20 hobbyists, and that there are publications, TV shows, newspapers, etc in the language. The goal of the Wikimedia foundation is to promote the spread of knowledge, not to promote constructed languages, so if someone wants to propose a project in a constructed language, they will have to provide evidence of widespread use.--Shanel 22:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Newspaper etc. Then I need to ask people who really speak Aeres and don't need a dictionary for each sentence if a newspaper etc exists. --OosWesThoesBes 07:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

When will we get a reasult about the Requests for new languages/Wikinews Hungarian [2] ?--News 16:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

It depends on the discussion and the test project, I can't tell. --OosWesThoesBes 16:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

What we have to discuss? :)

Requests for new languages/Wikinews Hungarian --News 18:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Nothing. The only thing left to do is the completion of the interface and it will be approved I think. --OosWesThoesBes 18:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hoi daar, ik kwam je toevalig tegen op de lijst voor nieuwe aanvragen voor een wikisource in het oudHollands (middle Dutch), nu ga ik proberen een wikipedia te creëren in het oud Hollands, mischien heb je interesse??Klaveren 12:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Language boxes

Hello Ooswesthoesbes. I saw that you substituted the old babel templates. The new template is constantly refined based on suggestions from users. If you have any suggestions to improve {{user language}} to your liking, they are more than welcome.

If you still want to use the old format, this is possible with {{babelold}}, which is the old format but using the new text and categories (I've used it on your user page so you can see if you like it better). If you prefer to substitute entirely, we can use invisible templates to categorize instead, if that's okay with you. You can compare the three formats below. Again, any suggestions are welcome. :)

{{user en-3}}

{{babelold|en|3}}

{{user language|en|3}}

—{admin} Pathoschild 21:32:32, 09 February 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your work very much but I still preffer the substituted version. I don't know why but I think one of the reasons is the arcading (¿arcering?) Not all templates are translated yet, will be done soon I think. On my computer the colours seem very dull. I think these things are caused by the thickness. The old babel templates are thicker which make them fuller, which is my personal favourite :) --OosWesThoesBes 07:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I added the category template I mentioned, so you'll be categorized using the same system the template does. —{admin} Pathoschild 11:13:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much :) --OosWesThoesBes 12:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] requests for new languages

Hoi, I noticed that you asked yet again for another project for a language that you do not master. Why do this? There is a strong contingent of people who object to new projects when they are asked for by people who are unlikely to know the first thing about these languages. This is not helpful.

Danke :) Ik heb al zo vaak een stroopwafel gegeten dat ik erbij moest komen :) --OosWesThoesBes 07:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User language box translation

Hello Ooswesthoesbes. Thank you very much for translating {{user language}}. The template has recently been changed to add two new levels, 0 and 4 (see detailed descriptions). Please update Template:User language/nl:

• 0: this user cannot read or write Nederlands.
• 4: this user can contribute at a near-native level in Nederlands. —{admin} Pathoschild 00:15:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

SPQ did it already :) I've fixed it a little bit. --OosWesThoesBes 09:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again. :) —{admin} Pathoschild 21:01:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Language box Nederlandse taal: zou je deze op je Userpage misschien kunnen wijzigen in: "Deze gebruiker beschikt over een middelmatige kennis van de Nederlandse taal". Momenteel ziet het er nogal vreemd uit. Ida Shaw 15:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Final translation needed for creation of Limburgish Wikisource

Hello Ooswesthoesbes. Please see Requests for new languages/Wikisource Limburgish#Final translation. Although the Limburgish Wikisource has been approved, it cannot be created until those translations are provided. —{admin} Pathoschild 07:37:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright :D --OosWesThoesBes 11:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re:Little spelling mistake?

Hello Ooswesthoesbes, thanks for that, I am sure I do a lot, because English is not really a language I prefer and I am not good at it (You don't want to hear me speaking it XD ). I know in English they make a lot of spaces into words that have a single meaning, in German it would be the contrary, also in Icelandic, I like composita :)

[edit] Cherokees

Do you think we could find a way to involve the Cherokee online community in their Wikipedia? Probably the best way to solve this out would be to reactivate that Wikipedia. Any ideas? --Leptictidium 12:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we could send them an e-mail or ask them to put a link to the Cherokee wikipedia on their website? --OosWesThoesBes 12:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

A link is not enough. The goal is to get people to edit, not only to know that the wiki exists. --Leptictidium 15:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Well.. If they know it exists, they'll edit.. Right? --OosWesThoesBes 15:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

They know it exists, and they're not editing. So it's clearly not the case. --Leptictidium 10:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, we are waiting for the actual implementation of the global bot policy on some wikis. I hope that someone will enable global bot on your wiki soon. Anyway, I've temporarly disabled the bot on li.wq. --Nemo 08:42, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
