Fundraising translation feedback

Hey Antonio1952, I have a bit of a request to ask from you. We pulled down our banners nearly a fortnight ago for what was a highly successful international fundraiser and brought the curtain down on last years fundraiser. This week however we will be changing payment processors and during the testing of the new system it would be useful to use the time productively on on testing banner text.

To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to help us improve our italian text using This Link

Simply follow the simple instructions on that page and if you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

We are going to run the test on tuesday so if you dont see this message till 24 hours after it was sent you can ignore me :) Many Thanks though.

don't give up before trying

i have expanded the lists of List of Wikipedias by edits per article and Wikipedia article depth/Table but you removed those edits stating, It is too difficult to keep updated a long list... i would like to remind you a line from those pages itself stating, Data on this page is automatically updated every day....which means figures are updated automatically and humans only need to sort the rankings which is not so difficult task.....i request you to please have a trial run of this for minimum 3 months, if at all it is difficult task then you can shorten the list.....but please have a trial run before coming to any conclusion....don't give up before trying....Sushilmishra (talk) 22:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Sushilmishral, I know well that the variables are automatically updated (I have created the page "Wikipedia article depth/Table"!) but, in my opinion, even simply to sort the rankings is too tiring with a list of 128 items. In any case, it seems to me more meaningful an analysis of Wikipedias with over 100,000 pages!

However, as You suggest, we can do a test unitil the end of the year. --Antonio1952 (talk) 20:42, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Trust me its not that tiresome, I am doing it for some time now and its very easy, it hardly takes 2 mins to sort(But I am facing Time Zone problem). And since you are talking about meaningfulness then why not analyse Wikipedias with over 1,000,000+ articles as this will be much more easy why only Wikipedias with over 100,000+ articles?....I suggest we try to expand it, not reduce it....

And thanks for taking up the suggestion...and I hope we can improve it and expand it in future instead of reducing it....cheers---Sushilmishra (talk) 00:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

1 million, one hundred thousand or ten thousand: as in all things, the right balance must be sought!!! --Antonio1952 (talk) 09:55, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

35M

Really? After all this? - dcljr (talk) 04:01, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

41M

Hello! I think that it is too early to say that wikipedia reached 41 M articles. You can verify it at the very bottom of this page (line NUMBEROFARTICLES). With deep respect, Jarash (talk) 07:14, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Hmm… EmausBot has a different opinion. I don't know the cause of the disagreement. (From a user who just happens to be watching this page.) - dcljr (talk) 09:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Wait a minute! Yes, I do (know the cause). This edit you (Jarash) pointed to is over a month old! - dcljr (talk) 09:17, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

@Jarash and Dcljr: Unfortunately the template "NUMBEROF/data" is not updated since July 7 because Acebot is currently not working in Wikimedia and in all Wikipedias. --Antonio1952 (talk) 19:34, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia article depth/Table change from 32px to 30px

The tables get misaligned at around no. 55 on my screen with the height of 30px due to various non-Latin scripts being taller, and this may not be true for other users and fonts, but 32px is the smallest height that works well for me. Just letting you know. -Vipz (talk) 12:07, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Marathi Wikipedia milestone

Was the milestone on June 25th actually illegitimate (i.e., due to spam that subsequently got deleted)? If so, then we shouldn't announce that milestone nor the drop below it the next day. If not, then we should not announce the later milestone, when it passed 100K again on July 23rd. Except in unusual cases (like massive cleanup efforts that significantly reduce the size of a wiki), we should only have one announcement of each milestone level per wiki. - dcljr (talk) 00:10, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

For additional context, the reason I'm going with the June 25th date despite my initial misgivings is that (AFAIR) the pages that actually caused that milestone were not deleted immediately afterwards (the wiki went down below 100K the next day, but I don't think that was due to the pages causing the milestone being deleted). What I tend to do is this: every time there is an article-count milestone, I check at least Special:NewPages, Special:RecentChanges, and Special:Log to get a feel for what might have caused the milestone. If it looks like legitimate article creation (or, sometimes, the addition of legitimate links to existing linkless articles) caused the milestone, then fine. But if it looks like the milestone was caused by the creation of bad/useless articles (or links) that I expect will be deleted (or reverted) soon afterwards, then I don't announce it and only bookmark the Special:Contributions of the relevant user(s), so I can wait to see if those articles get deleted in the next few days. In borderline cases I might go ahead and announce the milestone anyway (which is what happened in the case of the Marathi Wikipedia reaching 100K on June 25th), but I still bookmark the user contributions to check later. When the wiki dropped below 100K the following day, it didn't appear to be due to the articles that had just been created, so I chalked it up to "normal" editing activity and kept the milestone announcement. At some point I eventually deleted the bookmarks because they no longer seemed relevant. If it had been obvious that the articles that caused the milestone had subsequently been deleted, I would have reverted the announcement of that milestone and waited for the next time the wiki reached 100K. (I'm saying "had been" and "would have" since I don't remember precisely what I saw a month ago, so I can only go with my usual modus operandi. Since June 25th, that wiki has been down and up past the same milestone at least 6 times. This is why I try to stick with the first time a wiki legitimately passes a milestone, not any subsequent ones. It's very hard to tell at this point which of the subsequent times it reached 100K is the legitimate one. Hence my decision to keep the June 25th announcement. Do you feel differently? - dcljr (talk) 01:38, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

@Dcljr, if you have been monitoring the progress of created/deleted entries, then I agree with your decision. I apologize for the mix-up. Antonio1952 (talk) 13:07, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
