Central Notice Admin comments[edit]

@Rodrigo Padula: I'm going to split these two campaigns. I get it's part of the same competition but it's targetting two different events and we don't permit campaigns of more than one month in length. Can you please check the below translations for Portuguese:

My guess would be: "Submeta seus vídeos e fotos dos Jogos Olímpicos e concorra a R$6.000 em prêmios"

And "Submeta seus vídeos e fotos dos Jogos Paralímpicos e concorra a R$6.000 em prêmios" Jseddon (WMF) (talk) 18:38, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jseddon (WMF) (talk · contribs), the Wiki Loves the Olympics includes the Olympics and Paralympics games in the same contest/competition. The dates are sequential and will end in september. So, people will be able to send photos and videos from both events in the same contest. The contest is just one covering the two competitions. Rodrigo Padula (talk) 14:35, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, I updated the central notices and schedule here. Rodrigo Padula (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jseddon (WMF): any news regarding that request? Rodrigo Padula (talk) 15:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodrigo Padula: Hey Rodrigo. This got put up last week. Do you think we could get the landing pages translated for English? Given the multilingual nature of the Olympics and what's likely to be strong attendence from the rest of South America, do you reckon it's worth getting spanish translations too? 82.9.101.91 11:05, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jseddon (WMF): I checked many times and the banners are not running on pt.wiki and commons for Brazilians. At least it's not enable for me in all possible browsers (mobible and desktop), authenticated or anonymous, no banner are exhibited. So, I guess will be best to enable the banner developed first to cover both events in the same banner. We need to put it online urgently. Rodrigo Padula (talk) 20:17, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodrigo Padula: It seems like the banner setting to show to anonymous didn't stick. I've used the original translation for both events. I have also set the traffic to 100% and doubled the number of times people will see the banner. I've extended the campaign to Run till the last week of September. Apologies for the issues.

@Jseddon (WMF): Thanks, now it's running for me as anonymous and logged user. Regards from Brazil Rodrigo Padula (talk) 02:15, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
