Re: Latin script articles in the Konkani Wikipedia

[edit]

Good luck. At this point, your best chance is to ask New wiki importers to import Latin script articles as well into the wiki and then have a local discussion on what to do about them. --Nemo 06:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just use their talk pages, there are not many of them. Probably the import will be done by MF-Warburg, or perhaps SPQRobin. --Nemo 07:48, 20 June 2015 (UTC)Reply


Dear The Discoverer

Thank you for your support for the Latin Script Konkani articles. I have put forward my view point and request to the language committee at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Language_committee#Support_:_Request_to_include_Latin_script_Konkani_in_the_gom_Wikipedia

Hope the Language committee does not do injustice to the Latin Script

Quick translation request

[edit]

I see you speak Kokani. I was wondering if you can translate "Village in China", "Commune in Morocco", and "village in Indonesia". It is for updating Wikidata. Thanks in advance. --Artix Kreiger (Message Wall) 19:58, 4 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

JSTOR account redistribution (The Wikipedia Library)

[edit]

Hi - according to our records you received a free account for JSTOR through The Wikipedia Library. Because we’ve used up all of our allocated accounts, and it’s been some time since they were distributed, we want to redistribute any accounts that aren’t being used to users on our waitlist.

If you’re still using, or plan to use, your JSTOR access, no problem! Simply head over to the Library Card platform, log in, and request a renewal of your account. You should be able to do this from your user page, or the JSTOR signup page. If you can’t find the renewal button, or have any other issues or questions about this, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. We’ll begin redistributing inactive accounts in September; if you request renewal after then we will only be able to reactivate your account if we have spots remaining. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:32, 20 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Updates from Capacity Exchange (CapX)!

[edit]

Hello The Discoverer,

My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie, and I am an Outreach Facilitator for the Capacity Exchange (CapX) — a platform for finding and connecting with peers to exchange knowledge and skills on a global level.

CapX is a community-built tool, designed by and for the Wikimedia Movement, to make it easier for Wikimedians across the world to find and connect, collaborate, and exchange skills and knowledge with peers.

If you don't know it yet, I invite you to access capx.toolforge.org and create your user profile with your Wikimedia account. But, if you already have a profile, I invite you to check out the new features and possibilities we just launched. I am sure you will be delighted.

CapX's new version incorporates valuable community feedback gathered over the past months, including the Organization Profile - a feature for Wikimedia affiliates, initiatives, or community groups to create their own CapX presence (see here how to create yours).

Explore CapX's new features

[edit]

→ Access: capx.toolforge.org
→ Watch the launch video:Meet the Capacity Exchange
→ Navigate CapX's User Guide and Frequently Asked Questions
→ Share your profile on Meta by adding the predefinition {{CapacityExchange}} to your userpage.
→ Visit our Meta Page for all documentation on the project

Please, let me know if you think your community would enjoy a presentation, workshop demonstration, or feedback session. I would be happy to support you on that. Just reach out, and we can schedule the best date and time together.

Best regards,

Joris Darlington Quarshie
