Licencek nevei[edit]

Szia! Szerinted miért kell idézőjelbe tenni a licencek neveit? Főként a CC-sekét, amelyeknek van hivatalos magyar nevük? --Dami 10:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Szerintem éppen azért, mert ez a licencek neve. Több, írásjellel lezárt mondatot alkotnak a mondatok közepén, és aki nem olvasgatja a licencek neveit naponta, az jó eséllyel nem tudja, hol a mondat eleje, közepe, vége; melyik szavak vonatkoznak a licenc megnevezésére, hogyan kell a mondatot értelmezni. Ez így egyértelműbb. Ha nem lenne az egész dőlten, akkor dőlttel jelöltem volna, de itt az nem működik. Ez nem helyesírási szabály, csak segít a szövegértelmezésben. Ha gondolod, kérdezz meg mást is róla. Más: az indoklás szakaszban a „Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike Licenses”-ből „Creative Commons Nevezd meg! – Így add tovább! licencek”-et csináltam, ami nem jó, de a perjel sem az igazi. Itt ugyanis egyszerre akar az eredeti angol a cc-by és a cc-by-sa-ra utalni, azért a többesszám. A tiszta az lenne, ha kifejtenénk így: amelyek a „Creative Commons Nevezd meg!” vagy a „Creative Commons Nevezd meg! – Így add tovább!” licenceket használják. Samat 10:41, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jól van, bár éppenséggel dőltön belül a nem dőltnek ugyanaz a hatása lett volna, de ez részletkérdés. A másiknál a többesszám utalhat egyszerűen a különböző verziókra: bár tartalmilag igaz lenne a sima CC-BY licencre is, hogy nem tudjuk őket átvenni, de az már nem igaz, hogy át tudnánk adni a by-sa tartalmat a sima BY licenc alá, ahogy erre utal a "mindkét irányba" és az "interoperabilitás" szó később a bekezdésben. --Dami 11:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Kifogtál rajtam, a vissza irány (by-sa --> by) tényleg nem működik. Ettől azonban igaz a mondat, ugyanis azt mondja, hogy ezek mind nem működnek most :) Samat 11:19, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Igaznak igaz, de nem a legjobb stratégia felhívni a figyelmet (a reklámanyag közepén) egy olyan problémára, amelyet nem fogunk megoldani :) (Egyébként a CC-BY-ra átváltást szerintem nem is engedné a GFDL, ha jól emlékszem). --Dami 11:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need help in discussion for an article nominated for Afd[edit]

Hello Samat,

This is regarding a post of "Janos Boros" the Ex-Vice Mayor of Kolozsvar in English Wikipedia. You might not remember me, I am Kiran, an Indian by Szarmazas. My Magyar is a bit rusty, so I have to write in English. In 2009 there was nominated under Afd by some Romanian users. It was finally decided as "keep". It seems some RO Users have decided to nominate it again. I got the decision reviewed and the Admin was gracious enough to open it for discussion again. If you have the time, please do participate.

Translator, We need you![edit]

Dear Samat,

You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.

Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.

If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.

Many Thanks

Autopatrolled[edit]

Hi Samat, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatroll right to your account, as you are a trustworthy user. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Meta:Autopatrollers. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Ruy Pugliesi 15:02, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Samat 21:17, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

You have now got the right to globally rename user accounts. Please do so carefully, and preferably keep a clear log of the requests both in the action summary (by including a [[Special:Diff/...]] link, for instance) and on SRUC. Savhñ 13:16, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you. Samat (talk) 14:45, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mailing list for global renamers[edit]

Dear global renamer,

We have created a mailing list for us to allow easy communication. Please subscribe here and send me or Trijnstel an email to confirm it is you requesting it. Additionally, you might be interested to know of the existance of the #wikimedia-renameconnect IRC channel where you are welcome to join. Should you have any questions, feel free to use my talk page.

Cordially, Savhñ 15:07, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to rename my user name[edit]

Hi, I saw that you are a renamer. Would like to change my name to A21sauce if that's still available, to further anonymize myself. thanks

Done. Samat (talk) 18:37, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia CEE meeting on Wikimedia Conference 2015[edit]

Dear Samat,

You are attending Wikimedia Conference 2015, but have not registered on the participants list of Wikimedia CEE meet-up.

Hereby I inform You that the event will take place Friday, May 15 6.00 p.m.-9.00 p.m. at the conference venue (Verlag Der Tagesspiegel, Askanischer Platz 3, Berlin). You can find more information about the meeting here. I hope You are interested in attending!

Thank you for your kind attention and CEE you soon! --Kaarel Vaidla (WM EE) (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Kaarel, I've just registered now. Samat (talk) 11:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum(_AT_)wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Help decide the future of Wikimania[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).

After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.

In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.

With thanks,

I JethroBT (WMF) (talk), from Community Resources 23:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Last December, I invited you to share your views on the value of Wikimedia conferences and the planning process of Wikimania. We have completed analysis of these results and have prepared this report summarizing your feedback and important changes for Wikimania starting in 2018 as an experiment. Feedback and comments are welcome at the discussion page. Thank you so much for your participation. I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, 22:47, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Input - New Central Notice request process[edit]

Hello fellow CN admin!

Back in February I emailed the CN-admin list regarding part of my role to look into the Central Notice process and see where we could make improvements including: the campaign process; its functionality or lack thereof; and fundamentally the documentation that supports it. You can see many of the issues that I identified at CentralNotice/Process_Review. If there is anything additional that you feel has been left out then please feel free to leave any comments on the talk page.

My first task is to improve the requesting of campaigns by communities and affiliates. I am looking to set up a more formal request process, similar to those used in many projects. The aim is to: increase the transparency of Central Notice; improve the support provided to affiliates (including making such support more consistent); to provide a forum for community input into campaigns.

I have been working on a very rough strawman version of the process and I would be interested in hearing you comments about what such a process should involve and what you think it would require. Please feel free to leave such comments at the process talk page section. I would like to have a working page in place by the end of May. This would not need to be a final version. The process can be improved upon over time as we learn about how well it works.

I encourage you to:

Regards

No renaming between November 20 and November 27[edit]

Hi,

You’re getting this because you’re a steward or global renamer. The Community Tech team are working on cross-wiki watchlists. We need to add a couple of fields to the localuser table in centralauth database. In order to be able to do this, we’d need to run a script that will get in the way of renaming users. Our apologies – we realize this is getting in the way of your work.

We ask that you do not rename anyone between 00:00 November 20 (UTC) and 00:00 November 27 (UTC).

(UTC means that if you live in the Americas, it will be on the evening or afternoon of November 19 when the script starts running, and if you live in Oceania or eastern Asia, it can be closer midday on November 27 before we can be sure the script is no longer running.)

Phabricator task.

If there are any problems related to this, or you have any questions, please write me on my talk page. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:42, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved submission for Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2017[edit]

Dear Tamas,
On behalf of the Programme Committee of the Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2017, I am pleased to inform you that your submission Wikimedia Hackathon goes CEE - what we learned from pre-hackathons across the region was approved for presentation and was included in the event programme. Please take your time to review the schedule, as there might be some slight differences between the available timeslot allocated for your talk, and the duration you requested. Thank you for your participation, and see you in Warsaw. :) Bests, Spiritia 19:16, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Library User Group is being renamed![edit]

Hello! In the past few months, the Wikipedia Library User Group has been undergoing some major planning and developments. We just finished our very first open call with the user group members, which was a great success (see the meeting minutes). If you joined us during the meeting, we’d like to thank you for your interest. If not, not to worry, we have lots of things planned for the user group in which you can participate.

This message is to inform you that based on the input received from the user group members and the founding members, it was agreed that the Wikipedia Library User Group’s name be reconsidered by a voting process. As a valued member of the user group, we’d like to invite you to vote on the list of potential names. You can vote by following this link. The poll will run for a timeframe of two weeks.

Global preferences ready for testing[edit]

Greetings,

I am contacting you because of your support for Global settings in the 2016 Community Tech Wishlist. Global preferences are now available for beta testing, and need your help before being released to the wikis.

  1. Read over the help page, it is brief and has screenshots
  2. Login or register an account on Beta English Wikipedia
  3. Visit Global Preferences and try enabling and disabling some settings
  4. Visit some other language and project test wikis such as English Wikivoyage, German Wiktionary, the Hebrew Wikipedia and test the settings
  5. Report your findings, experience, bugs, and other observations

Once the team has feedback on design issues, bugs, and other things that might need worked out, the problems will be addressed and global preferences will be sent to the wikis.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CEE[edit]

Szia!

Nagyon szeretném, ha benne lennénk, azért is írtam fel a magyar wikit, de nem tudom, mit kell csinálnia egy ilyen lebonyolítónak, illetve ha én lennék az, akkor attól még részt vehetek versenyzőként is? Alensha (talk) 19:20, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A mit kell csinálnia kérdésre nagyjából leírtam a kocsmafalon a feladatokat. Neked köszönhetően valójában jól állunk. A versenyben részt vehetsz, amennyiben közösségi értékelés lesz a korábbi évekhez hasonlóan. (Zsűris értékelés esetén is csak akkor zárnád ki magadat, ha a zsűri tagja lennél, de ezek közül szerintem egyik feltétel sem fog megvalósulni.) Ha van még kérdésed, szólj!

Talk pages consultation[edit]

Hello Samat

You added Hungarian Wikipedia to the talk pages consultation, but you haven't yet provided a link to that consultation. Have you created that page since then?

Thanks, Trizek (WMF) (talk) 09:19, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Trizek (WMF): I have not done yet, but I will create it and start the consultation in a few days. Samat (talk) 18:43, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Samat. Just to keep you posted, there is a banner now displayed on the wikis. IT is a good way to have more people participating. But don't rush yourself. We may have a second banner later with existing pages. Trizek (WMF) (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Trizek (WMF): I created the page and inserted the link here.
But before we start the process, I would like to clarify the following question: Under the term talk page, we mean all of the following page types:
  • talk pages in the different content type namespaces,
  • user talk pages,
  • pages in the Wikipedia namespace which aim a community communication (for example village pumps, admin's noticeboard etc.)?

Hello. You are receiving this message because you are active in the field of translations <3 The movement needs you! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help translators figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), we are asking your help for Chinese, Ukrainian, Bengali, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Farsi, German, Cantonese, Finnish, Hindi, Thai, Dutch, and Greek, as these also matter to affiliates! If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :) Thank you! Elitre (WMF) and Facilitators of ASBS 2019, 21:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please translate the Editing newsletter[edit]

Would you please translate VisualEditor/Newsletter/2019/July into your favorite language for me? I'd really appreciate it. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Whatamidoing (WMF): I will translate it in a few days to Hungarian (I believe, this is what the favorite language expression covers :). Unless somebody else does it quicker (it is already partly translated). Samat (talk) 20:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The latest is VisualEditor/Newsletter/2020/April. There will probably be another in about a month. (Maybe. We are slower at these than we want to be.) Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:23, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PPelberg (WMF) and Whatamidoing (WMF): Sorry that I could not contribute to the Talk pages project in the last two weeks, but beside my regular daily work, I had to write the yearly reports of the Hungarian chapter, organize the AGM, organize a fundraising campaign and some other urgent tasks. Now, I am available again, and I am trying to find out, which tasks should I do first (I saw on Phabricator several open tasks assigned to me). Could you please help me prioritize these tasks? Samat (talk) 14:58, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/people/tasks/533/ does not list any assigned tasks?
What matters most to me is that you keep telling me what your community thinks and needs. You have done a great job so far. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 22:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! No, because no task is assigned to me (according to Phabricator). But I saw in several tasks that I was mentioned, and in some tickets you are waiting for my response or I should do something. But I do not have an overview of these tasks. Then, I will try to solve them one by one. :) Samat (talk) 00:16, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Samat. Would you like to translate VisualEditor/Newsletter/2020/June? I hope to get it delivered in about five days. (It's shorter this time.) Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 04:35, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notification about a grant request[edit]

Hi.

As someone who commented about my grant request (including the talk page) last year requesting funding to create the GlobalWatchlist extension, I thought you might want to know that I have requested another grant to continue development. You can see the new request at Grants:Project/DannyS712/Continued work on GlobalWatchlist extension - if you support this, I hope you'll consider endorsing the request.

My apologies if you were already aware of the new grant request (I sent a similar message to the subscribers of User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Updates - sorry for any duplicates).

Hello! Would you be able to translate the newest update about the Community Wishlist Survey 2022? In short: instead of November 2021, the CWS will happen in January 2022. We would also like to make other improvements. We can't do that without having the volunteers' opinions. This is what we ask for in the message.

After the weekend, I'll send this to all Village Pumps, Cafes, Forums, etc. Our team would like as many people as possible not to ignore this message. Let's remove the language barrier.
