mbecker

  • Username: mbecker
  • email: wikimb@gmail.com
  • Reason: I'm working on automating he funding drive with mav. I'll likely need to edit the paypal form templates for this. I can of course get others to do this for me, but I'd rather not bother someone else with something I'm able to do myself (if I had access of course). I'd like to continue to help out wikimedia in the future with similar projects, so I'd expect that I'd have reasons to edit here in the future.

Angela gave me at the beginning access to Wikimedia to correct italian things, but Frieda's italian is much better and she is more active then me, so I would be really happy if we would give Frieda also access. In my list of the most trusted italian Wikipedians she is Number one, two and three ;-) Fantasy 22:51, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • reason: I would like to make some edits to some of the telecommunications sections, such as adding an entry for Hayes modems.

    • reason: I'd like to create the version of the site in greek (ελληνικά). I'm a very good translator.
      • The Greek pages can be created on meta first and moved over. Have you made any of these yet? Since you've only edited for one day this year on the Greek Wikipedia, do you think you will be active enough to maintain the Greek pages on the foundation wiki? Angela 03:58, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        • I understood what you wanted to say. You may have a point. I 'd like to advice me how to begin translating pages in meta. For instance, what pages I have to begin from. -- Leonariso 21:59, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        • I also forgot to mention that I edited more than one days in Meta, but I didn't loged in.

    • reason: maybe i want to help creating the wikimedia newsletter in german
Just a thought : I am very pleased to see a potential writer in german in the NL, but the NL is written on meta. So ? Are you still interested ? Anthere
I talked with Michaekl personally to ask him a help for NL and other wmf site materials. Now he knows how we work here and there, recruit translators on de and help translation and copyediting. --Aphaia | WQ2翻訳中 | talk 15:06, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
