Election Notice
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As you may be aware, there is concern that the sitenotices regarding submission of candidacy for the Board of Trustees election were not seen anywhere but Meta after the 11th of this month. Because of the potentially massive consequence of this, and to encourage a full and active election, the election committee has determined that:
- Candidacies will be accepted through July 27th at 23:59 (UTC)
- The period for questioning candidates begins immediately. Candidates that are "late to the party" will, no doubt, be scrutinized by the community. The Committee hopes that the community will work to actively ensure that all candidates receive equivalent questioning.
- The dates of election will not change. The election will begin on 28 July and end on 10 August.
Please know that we recognize the radical nature of altering the schedule in the midst of the election and would not do it if we did not absolutely believe that there was a possibility that others may be interested and qualified and may not have known about the key dates.
For the committee, --Philippe 09:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Do you know how are ordered the users who edited a page in the feature? See this (maybe a bug? I can't understand, I'd had this doubt for several months). Thanks, Nemo 09:15, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Nemo, this would be a good question for the mediawiki.org wiki or the wikitech-l mailing list. -- sj | translate | vote! |+ 22:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- I retained it as a last resort. :-) Thank you, Nemo 00:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Bot
I'm currently cleaning up the Limburgish Wiktionary by bot. (some of you might know that it's a little bit more like a rubbish dump than a dictionary). I'm now working to clean some little categories containing hardly 100 pages each, but 11.500 pages are nót in a categorie, but linked from this template. Of course it's impossible to delete 11.000 pages in one run (my top speed is 6 pages per minute, which is 11.000÷6÷60=30 h work) Is there any way to stop the bot while running delete.py? --OosWesThoesBes 15:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ctrl+C should do. – rotemliss – Talk 18:14, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
