Wikilang - Letter[edit]

Hello, I know it has been quite a while since I or anyone has been active on Wikilang. But I want to do the next step and contact institutions, organisations and persons and I am not quite sure what to write into the letter and whether the English is fine. Could you please look over it if you have some time? It is on the discussion page of Wikilang. Thanks a lot. Zylbath (talk) 16:49, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Ciao from Emily region[edit]

Dear old friend, mi spiace scriverti per una scocciatura, ma obiettivamente altre occasioni per salutarti non ne avevo avute (sorry), con tutto il traffico di impegni e scritture cui mi ero lanciata in eml.wkp...! La "scocciatura" sarebbe questa, poiché non mi sembra che la mia aggiunta della lingua emiliana nelle colonne e nelle righe, sia andata a buon fine. Te riesci a vedere come si potrebbe aggiustare la perfetta messa in colonna? Grazie mille della tua sicuramente migliore competenza. Bacioni, --Gloria sah (talk) 09:44, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay. PiRSquared17 (talk) 04:30, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
This was before your time so I don't blame you for not knowing. Check out Essjay incident which happened in 2006 and you can draw a lot of similarities between Essjay and Eurodyne. Both falsified their persona, qualifications, and using it to impact the quality of decisions made in his promotion. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:14, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Gothic Wikipedia transliteration[edit]

Hey,

I forgot to mention that Zylbath at the Gothic Wikipedia is interested in that transliteration mechanism you made for our projects.

He asked about it here on Wikipædie.

Espreon (talk) 02:17, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I did. Thank you, Espreon. That'd be very nice if you could look over it. We would need it in Gothic script (by default), Latin and Runic script. Do you think that would be possible? Zylbath (talk) 21:53, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Re: Portal CSS2 compatibility[edit]

Oh, interesting. If you look at Www.wikipedia.org template/temp, the background value is compatible with CSS2, with background-size: 200px auto set separately. But running that code through CSS Minifier collapses the background-size value into background. That's too aggressive. Hopefully there's another online CSS minifier that lets us opt out of that shortcut; otherwise, it's time to roll our own as a Scribunto module. :^) – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 05:46, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I found a workaround, which is simply to put the occurrences of background-size in separate rules. CSS Minifier is offline at the moment; I'll retest when it comes back. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 06:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

  • There was a problem with editing math in VisualEditor. It was fixed quickly. [73]

  • The new version of MediaWiki (1.25wmf5) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since October 23. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from October 28, and on all Wikipedias from October 29 (calendar).

  • VisualEditor's menu items now show their shortcuts beside them. [78]

Hello Vogone, I can really patrol others' edits with or without this right, what I already make to fight against the vandalism and the spam, also this right will be useful to automatically marks new pages created by me as patrolled and to reduce the workload of new page patrollers.I also have this right on frwiki, therefore it is not new for me thank for your remark(comment).Best Regards ----Grind24talk ??Contribs 16:17, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

After users' renamed their accounts means their block was removed on several wikis? Am I right? --Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 01:19, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Tahitian vote[edit]

Hi Pi,
Tahitian (tywiki) has had a bureaucratship and adminship vote, and no one authoritative has shown up to close it.
Cheers, Varlaam (talk) 05:34, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Any reaction?
Varlaam (talk) 05:52, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Isn't that something you're supposed to request on SRP? PiRSquared17 (talk) 01:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
God knows. What's that?
The only one I know personally at this level is you, so I'm reporting it to you personally.
You are a Small Projects guy as am I.
Somebody has now made User:Juster a sysop without bothering to conclude the election.
So there is still an open, pending election sitting there.
It's the same old small project chaos.
Juster has 800 edits and he's a sysop. I have 100,000 edits and I'm not a sysop, because, hey, it's Wikipedia.
No rhyme or reason to anything anywhere.
Yours in chaos, Varlaam (talk) 21:24, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Can you just make me scowiki sysop already since I'm talking to you anyway?

Ido Wiktionary[edit]

Hello! You created an account in Ido Wiktionary. Fine! Can we discuss there about my situation? I made a new account under name ”Testeri” to be present there in another way. I am as an administrator there under name Artomo which is now unusable. --91.155.201.229 12:38, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't know why it broke. :/ Did you try asking in rt:? PiRSquared17 (talk) 00:14, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

RfC (GIR)[edit]

Hello dear PiRSquared17, please comment this .Best Regards --Grind24 (talk) 22:30, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

@Grind24: This is something a bot should do... or to save paper database size, a CGI tool on Labs (or any server really) would work too. PiRSquared17 (talk) 01:28, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
thank you for your precision, I had completely forgotten.--Grind24 (talk) 17:29, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

help pls[edit]

Hi; I am a student in Başkent University. ip 212.156.67.30 is used by Başkent Üniversitesi in Turkey. But it was blocked in Turkish wikipedia for unlimited time. block begins: 23:15, 6 Feb. 2011. Since that time whole university can not make any edits in Turkish wikipedia. We university students want to edit turkish wikipedia. Local adminstrators say they are very angry with an old time user and they dont unblock th i.p. and they punish a whole university. It has been a long time and probably the person that makes them angry is graduate by now. Thank you for help.

I asked the blocking admin. Maybe they'll at least allow you to create an account with IP block exemption. I can't really do anything else, since I'm not a tr.wikipedia admin. PiRSquared17 (talk) 19:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Foundations[edit]

Season greetings! And furthermore, thanks for the many things you do, including intermittently commenting at Request for an account on the Foundation wiki. Curious, therefore: do you know how often Wikimedia staff tends to address requests on this page? Arbitrarily0 (talk) 23:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

@Arbitrarily0: Hello! I don't think staff comment there very often, but they do check it occasionally. PEarley has replied to all the current requests since you wrote to me. PiRSquared17 (talk) 19:07, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Superscripted 2 on your signature[edit]

Gothic transliteration[edit]

Sorry, I misread what you said before.

Actually, the source will still be Gothic text, so you won't need to worry about Latin "th" being used to represent thiuth. Thiuths should always be transliterated as thorn.

Also, please come back to the channel tomorrow, if you can.

Thanks,

ISO 639-3[edit]

Hi,

Do you know where I could find the list of iso code 639-3 for each self language name, for example: spa -> Español, eng -> English, fra -> Francaise...

Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 17:46, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

@The Photographer: Wikipedia has a list. Does that help? PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:50, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Hm, just noticed not every language listed there has an endonym. What do you plan to use the list for? PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:54, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I am doing this, however, I need the full ISO 639-3 list. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 17:55, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Maybe CLDR json-full or MW's https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/7458dc32d99e6dd569b1629762443d074b6a3c52/languages/Names.php? I don't think you will ever find a 100% complete endonym dataset (because not all endonyms are even known, e.g. for Mycenaean Greek/Linear B), but the one Wikipedia has (e.g. w:ISO_639:s) is about as complete as you can get.

Just a little thank you[edit]

I just saw your work of implenting the transliteration system. We literally needed this for years, thank you very much. :) Some improvements like the Rune system and diacretics etc. could be possible, but as I have some scripting knowledge I can maybe try to do some of that myself too.

I have a question. You made a page with numerals. Can you make it possible to render "1" to "•𐌰•" (I 'm not sure if these are the right dots!), you probably know something of the Gothic Bible and they used these between the letter which represented the number to distinguish them from normal letters.

Global user page migration[edit]

Hello PiRSquared17. I deleted your local user pages and deleted your common.css on all wikis as you requested via Synchbot. You can see the full log on your archive page. :) —Pathoschild 05:13, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Diacretics system[edit]

Hi PiRSquared17, with my knowledge of Javascript I succeeded in getting the diacretics to work. But it only works if you click at Gutiska and after that at Diacretics, I tried to implent this:

   }  else if (inputstyle == "Latn" && outputstyle == "Diac") {
       temp = myReplace(temp, Latn_to_Goth);
       temp = myReplace(temp, Goth_to_Diac);

https://got.wikipedia.org/wiki/%F0%90%8C%BD%F0%90%8C%B9%F0%90%8C%BF%F0%90%8D%84%F0%90%8C%B0%F0%90%8C%BD%F0%90%8C%B3%F0%90%8D%83:PiRSquared17/gothic.js

But I 'm not sure if that actually works. Do you know how to make it possible to change from one system to another, to another with one click? And it would be better if I had Latin to Diacretics instead of Gothic to diacretics, that should be possible too so I will change that. Bokareis (talk) 23:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
