Translation here and there
Hello Mono,
There are some aspects of translation on the wmfwiki that may be best handled there directly. See the discussion at User talk:Nemo bis#Translating_board_resolutions. As a result, and because we generally need more active editors and admins on the wmfwiki, I'm changing some of the language around those pages.
Wishing you a happy new year, –SJ talk 04:36, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Temporary admin
Hi Mono. I've granted you the requested temporary adminship. It'll expire on February, 15 2013 as you requested. Please limit the use of the permissions to the scope of your request (notwithstanding if you see an obvious vandalism ongoing and nobody is around you may feel free to block the vandal on sight, too, as an exception). Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 23:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
POTY campaign on CentralNotice
Hi, the "high" priority of POTY campaign is not a good idea - it's overrides other campaigns (sure, other are also important). And second request - could you fix POTY banner on Monobook skin - it's covers the tabs. LeinaD (t) 00:22, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- I adjusted the priority for the POTY banner, I agree that high isn't good. I assume you did it because you wanted that banner rather then the large baner on Commons so when I reduced it to normal I also took commons out of the other campaign. If possible I think it would be better to use that smaller, commons, banner everywhere too. The one that is running on commons is much smaller and less obtrusive while still getting peoples attention then the one running everywhere else. Why don't we just run that one everywhere? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jamesofur (talk)
I have reverted your changes to the banner selection. Please don't modify the banners without checking first. The 'high' setting was unintentional, but the new banner was intentional. I have fixed the campaigns so everything should be good now. Cheers, ℳono 21:28, 19 January 2013 (UTC)- Things should be fixed up now the way they should be. ℳono 23:52, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
POTY banner
My browsers of both a small notebook PC (Chrome and firefox) and iPad mini (Safari) cannot show all the text of the POTY banner; they show only 3 lines readable: the 4th line goes under the border.
Please check
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CentralNotice&method=listNoticeDetail¬ice=POTY2012+R1+Global http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeTemplate/view&template=POTYR1Final
with your browser narrowed.
If the border square of the banner is not flexible, narrow browsers and iPads can show only 3 lines and the 4th line would go under the border, i suppose. At least the banner for "Campaign: Wikivoyage Launch" was flexible. I hope you would check by yourself by narrowing your own browser. --miya (talk) 06:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Meta translation coordinators, 08:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)Banners priority and translations
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
Hello.
- Why did you set [7] to high priority after Jalexander changed it to normal? I didn't see anything on his talk.
- Why aren't translations being published and why did you enable the banner in languages without translation in the first place? There are several complaints on translators-l.
Please fix soon, I'm getting tired of your sysop actions on this wiki. --Nemo 13:46, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Mono. I've received some complaints on my talk regarding your administrator actions here. I'm sure they're not being done in bad faith but I figured I shall let you know about that. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:51, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'll respond individually, my actions are in good faith.
- there is no sitenotice on Commons, so the priority is set to high based on the consensus on the POTY talk page - the idea is it will display to the locals more than the others. There are two campaigns running: the one that was set to 'high' is for Commons only.
- I am
notaware of any translations that have not been published, but I am busy in real life and I don't check everywhere. However, to my knowledgeall complaints on that mailing list have been addressed as of yesterday.there are new complaints since I checked. The banners are not automatically published; it's a manual process and the Foundation will be pushing changes to fix this process soon. It was the decision of the committee to do translations on Commons, not Meta (as I proposed).
- My time zone is UTC-7 - at the moment, I have 14 IRC pings and 1,526 unread emails in my Wikimedia accounts. I am sorting through POTY stuff right now, as I do every morning. The unlocalized banners seem to be explained by this message on the translators-l list. Beria originally set the languages and I've passed over them plenty of times. Banners have been running for about six days now, the rationale being as Beria said "The logic in the central notice is: You get the message in your language, if that doesnt exist, in english". I hope this helps explain it. ℳono 18:01, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- I left the Commons-only banner high priority, but the one where I reverted you and you had reverted Jalexander is the other. --Nemo 18:02, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm rather confused, this is what you linked to above and that is the Commons-only campaign. ℳono 18:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- I left the Commons-only banner high priority, but the one where I reverted you and you had reverted Jalexander is the other. --Nemo 18:02, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Commons twitter handle
Hi, I understand you run as a volunteer the WikiCommons handle on Twitter. The tagline calls Commons "The world's largest collection of over 15 million freely usable media files". The statement is inaccurate and we should fix it (or cite a reliable source ;). Flickr commons has 38M CC BY and 22M CC BY-SA media according to their stats. --DarTar (talk) 04:06, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Meta translation coordinators, 13:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)copyvio tags on outreach?
Hey Mono - just wondering, but what was the rationale behind some of your copyvio tags on outreach? Some of the material looked like it would be better off on commons and some of it probably could've used better licensing info, but looking at this file, for instance... it was uploaded by Pete, when he was working for WMF, and was edited within the last year by Rob, when he was on contract with the WMF. It would certainly be more ideal if it had explicit licensing information, but even without it, there's no real chance that a PDF report consisting of material written by Frank and Pete and uploaded by Pete is a copyright vio... Kevin (talk) 08:47, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, I replied to your email but I'll briefly detail here as well. I'd like to move them all to Commons which is rather difficult with no license. However, I'm attempting to assess whether they could be construed as CC-BY-SA or copyrighted by the WMF. Either way, the idea was to shed some light on the file copyright status. ℳono 16:58, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- Wasn't my email :p there's just more than one person named Kevin. But thanks for the reply. Kevin (talk) 21:45, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
