English Wikipedia CEE Spring 2022

Hello! The en:Wikipedia:CEE Spring 2022 competition on the English Wikipedia was never resolved, and its organizer is not responding to messages. I was told that you're the person to talk to about this. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

@Thebiguglyalien: Thank you for the message! I can try to get in contact with the organizer(s). If he can not help with finalizing the project at the moment we will have to find another solution for finding the results. I have seen Wikipedia:CEE Spring 2022 but I am not familiar with the process that was planned for the evaluation and could not do it myself I am afraid. We would have to find someone to help. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 15:33, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

@Manfred Werner (WMAT) Hello, I just wanted to check in on this. We've been waiting almost four months and there's still no answer from anyone about finalizing the project. What is the next step? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 08:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Manfred Werner (WMAT), hello again! This issue has since been resolved, and I was told to contact you regarding the prize. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikimedia CEE Spring 2024 - Human Rights

DEar Manfred Werner! I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to inform you that I received a message from Kiril Simeonovski about winning the 4th prize in the Human Rights (€20) sub-contests. I had originally reached out to you via Gmail (25.09.2024), but I realized I hadn’t received a reply yet. Today, while discussing this with another fellow winner, I remembered to follow up with you. Looking forward to your response! Best regards Panpanchik (talk) 17:11, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Panpanchik: I received your email on September 24 and sent a reply the next day (from manfred.werner[at]wikimedia.at). Maybe it is in the spam folder? If you can find it, there's a wrong amount mentioned, this is due to an error in the first evaluation of the contest. Anyway, you are still welcome to let me know where, from which online shop, I should order the gift card/voucher for you. Please consider that it should be a shop that allows me to pay online from Austria respectively from within the EU. It can be one from your country or one of the international shops (in that case there may be tolls or higher delivery costs when you order something). Please let me know by email. We can talk about all details there as well. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 14:22, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Centralnotice-template for Coordinate Me 2025

Hello, can you change the "MediaWiki:Centralnotice-template" so that the Centralnotice links that appear in the Armenian Wikipedia refer to the Armenian translated project page? Thanks. Beko (talk) 07:12, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello Beko, thank you for pointing to this! The banner should link to the contest page in Armenian. The selection of the banner's contents in different languages is done with JavaScript and while it seems to work with the text that is displayed it does not work with the links. I have not found out why yet, but I am working on it. There has to be a solution for this. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 10:17, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

CEE Spring 2025

Greetings! I come from Greek Wikipedia. I participate in the CEE Spring edit-athon. I've made it to this Year's Hall of Fame by creating new articles in Greek about every community of CEE Spring 2025 mentioned in the suggested timeline, as well as the communities and areas in the general template (I believe there were slightly more there). The page suggested I should contact you. Veron (talk) 16:58, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Coordinate Me Banner - fix for Polish

Hi! In the Polish version of the Coordinate Me banner, the string "May 2025" is translated into "Móc 2025", which means roughly "to be able to 2025". Could you please change it to "Maj 2025", which is the proper word for the month? Thanks in advance :) Msz2001 (talk) 10:01, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi Msz2001 - and TRistovski-CEEhub - thank you for the pointing me to it! It is corrected now. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 16:11, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey Manfred! Another year, another CEE Spring; thank you for taking care of this! I wanted to note that I was glad to complete the Hall of Fame challange this year.
