Changed usage for {{closed}}

Hello Cbrown1023. At some point you used {{closed}} with the "text" parameter (ie, {{closed|text=Rogue deletion omg. ~~~~}}). This will no longer work correctly in the future, because the "text" parameter will contain the entire discussion (to wrap it in a coloured box). Instead, please use {{closed|Summary}} or {{closed|1=Summary}} (for complex summaries). Thanks. —{admin} Pathoschild 00:11:56, 05 February 2008 (UTC)

My first attempt at translating Donate

I started by transalting the parts not already translated at Översättningar/Donate. But as I can not have a look at the live result I do not know if the translation is ready or not. I also need to review in detail the parts that had been translated already, which also for me is needed to do on a live version.

I then tried to get the preliminary translated pages to the right places on wikiedmia and meta and to update the Donate status page on meta and came to a complete loss. Please correct my mkistakes and guide me on how it shold be done. Anders Wennersten 08:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

For the live version on the Wikimedia website, you needed to remove the <pre> and </pre> tags first. (Check them now: wmf:Donate/sv, wmf:Donate-options/sv, and wmf:Donate-thanks/sv.) You should also make sure you link back to the source whenever possible to preserve the GFDL and show who translated the text, for example putting "from m:Översättningar/Donate" in the edit summary.

As for the status template, it seems you updated it correctly. Regarding its placement, it normally goes at the top of the translated pages. However, Donate is a weird translation request, an example of a normal/correctly formatted one would be something like Translation requests/WMF/Board of Trustees/fr.

I hope this helps. Cbrown1023 talk 20:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I have now completed the translation at Översättningar/Donate whith the help from of the "live" versions of hte preliminary translations. I woukld appreciate if you can help me with tranferring these versions in the right way to the right place and also update the status template. I must admit the technicalities for handling these translations are above my technical competence level, so I am glad you can help with the handling issues. Anders Wennersten 07:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I've published your final touches and updated the status. If you need help with future translation requests (the other ones are easier, this is a very unusual translation request), please do not hesitate to ask. Cbrown1023 talk 01:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought maybe you'd want to create this article

Hi!!

It looks like you're online and active, and I thought maybe you'd want to create an article for a movie that I'm watching that isn't in Wikipedia:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0406706/

Here's a mention in the New York Times

http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/307414/Devour/overview

If you're not into creating, could you please pass this along to someone it is? This is a weird but creepily cool movie.

Thanks!!  :-)

I think I own this movie, but never ended up watching it... or maybe I did but wasn't watching it completely. :P (It definitely looks cool.) We actually do have an article on that movie though, see Wikipedia:Devour. Feel free to expand it and add more information! Cbrown1023 talk 19:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, we should probably also change the |selected_currency= to "HKD" (Hong Kong Dollar) because if I remember correctly, that's one of the places where "yue" is most spoken.

Re: Donate

Is there any way to get rid of the Gill Sans MT font used on WMF:Donate/vi? The font doesn't support many accented Vietnamese characters, and although most browsers can substitute in glyphs from other fonts just fine, Internet Explorer can't, so a lot of Vietnamese visitors won't be able to read Jimbo's quote, for example. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 21:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure, which font would you prefer? Also, we need "Projects of the Wikimedia Foundation" for wmf:Template:OurProjects-vi (used on wmf:Donate-thanks/vi). Cbrown1023 talk 21:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess it's best to make it match the rest of the page, which is specified as Verdana, Arial, sans-serif. (See the related Bug 12673 for server error messages.)

Working on this. Cbrown1023 talk 01:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

"Projects of the Wikimedia Foundation" is Các dự án trực thuộc Quỹ Wikimedia. Also, would you mind changing the Wiktionary logo on this template to Image:Wiktsister en.png?

"Over Wikimedia" is actually the wmf:Over Wikimedia page, so I'll update that page and not wmf:Onze projecten. :P I have reverted the page move like you said. Cbrown1023 talk 15:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I've updated the page, if there are any typos or someone copyedits it... just update the translation request and poke me. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 15:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

For the first page, yeah, I gave the wrong link :-) Thanks, SPQRobin ^(inc!) 16:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I fixed and translated some links at Translation requests/WMF/Over Wikimedia, so please update it :-) Thank you, SPQRobin ^(inc!) 16:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but you could maybe add a link to wmf:Hoofdpagina at wmf:Template:HomeLang. SPQRobin ^(inc!) 18:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Both done, sorry about that. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 15:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

General Survey Translation

I know I need to ask Eloquence but he hasn't replied yet. I haven't able to receive an original copy of the survey to translate it into Chinese. Can you provide it to me asap? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 02:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I would love to help, but I have nothing to do with the General Survey Translation. Cbrown1023 talk 03:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Alright then, I guess I have to wait for him to follow-up on this issue. Missing Chinese in this survey means almost 1.3 billion people missed out (ok, I bloated the figure by a bit, but still...) OhanaUnited^{Talk page}

Re:WMF/Home/gl

The page title is "Portada" but Spanish Main Paga already exists with that name so we can do as in Commons: we can call it "Portada galega" ("Galician Main Page"). Thanks for update my language! --Toliño ^{Fala aquí comigo} 14:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for translating! I have published it at wmf:Portada galega. Cbrown1023 talk 02:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Do you know why Fundraising 2007/Video with Jimmy subtitles/Translations/gl isn't updated? I have translated it a long time ago! --Toliño ^{Fala aquí comigo} 14:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Brion has to publish those himself using some weird program or something... so he probably didn't want to do it until a few were waiting to be published. :P I'll ask him about it, though. Cbrown1023 talk 02:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Translation

Yes, it's me again. I was browsing foundation wiki a bit and realized that an awful lot of pages require translation. Do you want me to translate the finance report into Chinese? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 20:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

That would be great... there are a ton linked from Translation requests/WMF, so feel free to look from there. The "Finance report" translation page can be found at Translation requests/WMF/Finance report. Cbrown1023 talk 02:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks..

thanks for publishing the Donate/mt page, but can you update the page because I made a very slight edit by removing a small word from the text, thanks!... Chrisportelli 13:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Done, thank you for your translations. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 18:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Mailing list

Hi, I am wondering who is in-charged of [Wikispecies-l] mailing list. People have used it to spam (e.g. [10][11]). According to Mailing list#Other, I should contact the admin using the email wikispecies-l-ownerlists.wikimedia.org but I don't think that will help, since these spams started since May 2007.

I'm a bureaucrat at Wikispecies. If possible, could you assign me as the admin for that mailing list so that I can moderate it? Thanks, OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

You should really try to contact the list admin, found at the bottom of here. If that person is inactive, your best bet would be to talk to Cary Bass or Brion Vibber who have the ability to configure mailing lists. Majorly ^talk 16:05, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Majorly is precisely right. :-) You should contact Cary or Brion so they can set you as moderator (you can later set others), but be aware that they are in Egypt now so they might not respond straight-away. I've been on that list for a while now and you're right, I haven't seen anything but spam and the owner is very inactive. :-( Cbrown1023 talk 18:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Donate/sr

Hi,

I distinctly remember saying I'd get this done quite a while ago, but I guess late is better than never :) I also translated OurProjects2006 template (because the Donate page makes use of it), and Filip copyedited it, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it next. Note that I left the WikiversitySubdomain parameter blank, since there isn't one in Serbian, I hope that's OK. Cheers --Kale 19:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Current Staff

Both Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese are done. Btw, you should add Frank Schulenburg's picture onto English page OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 21:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't fit the formatting, and it's not high-res either. So I'd rather not add that specific picture. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 21:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, Ohana, you missed the latest updates that I pointed out on your talk page. Cbrown1023 talk 23:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Of course I missed it. That's because you didn't make that update until I finish translating. Anyways, those 2 pages have been updated but if you continue treating volunteers like this then I strongly suggest you to take some leadership courses. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 00:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I was referring to Rebecca and Tomasz, you confused me because you switched columns on me and I was about to run out the door. Sorry about that, and please be polite. I always make it a point to be polite to you (and everyone I work with), please don't take it as a personal insult — it was merely an accidental oversight. Also, it's rather annoying as a coordinator when I have the source being updated by numerous people (notably Erik :P) without discussion and then the translators keep updating it when the request is closed. Then, I can't even talk to them and tell them that the request is closed because then they will feel like they are unwanted. Cbrown1023 talk 01:05, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Updated those pages by request. Please upload those 2 pages again. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:48, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks again. Cbrown1023 talk 18:58, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok, id translation included those changes now :) Thanks! ~Rex^{••talk••} 02:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Rex! I'll publish it when we update the English pages. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 02:59, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Preference

I have a preference to use the colon threading, and I usually only use bullets for emphasis per the English convention. Very best, NonvocalScream 17:39, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I do too, I think the bullets look ugly. However, it looks even worse when we mix up our threading styles. :-) Anyway, that wasn't directed at anyone in particular. Cbrown1023 talk 17:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I know it wasn't.  :) I did notice that you only corrected mine however. Care to wager the if anyone would notice me rethreading them all as colons. *sinister laugh*. NonvocalScream 18:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I had to change AnonDiss and Rudget's too. Yay, it looks a lot better now. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 18:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

oops, I stand corrected. You did change those also. It does read better without bullets. NonvocalScream 18:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Misuse of Venetian language - please correct!

Hi, some days ago I translated Donate/vec, then I asked for it to be published. Now I see that it was published, yes, but a couple of smart guys like User:Massimiliano Lincetto and User:Nick1915 introduced a LOT of errors in the text! The biggest of these errors is the use of the digram "zs", that was NEVER used by any Venetian author, in the past or in the present time. Try reading Goldoni or any other author on the Venetian Wikisource. ZS is simply a modern invention of some years ago, that nearly no one in Veneto uses, neither linguists, nor writers, in a few words used by no one except these few guys that pretend to simply ignore 700 years of written tradition. I've corrected the page, please upload it. If you want someone else to confirm what I'm saying, you can write on [12]. In the meantime, can you hide that page? vec.wiki already has a bad reputation due to the "zs thing"... Thanks. Candalua 12:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

• What does it mean "2 translators to 1"??? Try asking someone else, at least!

Massimilian and Nick are native speakers and have a lot of experience in translating.

So what? I'm a native speaker too. Are they linguists? Are they professors? I don't think so, yet they assume to know more than the scholars that contributed to the GVU manual (all well-known professors and writers, look for Manlio Cortellazzo on google and you will find a lot of important publications, while this Michele Brunelli who invented ZS is a young guy with little academic background). Candalua 15:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

• What sources do they have???? can I have a look at them, please?

No, it's what Arria and I found on w:Venetian language: Dizsionario: Dictionary of Venetian language and its varieties which has zs in the name.

Oh, so the "Dizsionario" is the Bible, isn't it? Well, it was written by the same guy (Michele Brunelli) who invented this absurd ZS, so it's no surprise that his dictionary agrees with his theories, don't you think? Instead, try visiting [13] or [14], two publications in Venetian language. For a good online dictionary, visit [15], and you will find that there is no ZS. Candalua 15:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

• Before taking decisions, please see my sources, for example: [16]. It's a writing system that does NOT contain zs, proposed by a group of linguists and writers, and edited by the Regional Council of Veneto ("a cura della Giunta regionale del Veneto", as you can read on the first page). Can the other 2 translators provide a more valuable source? I don't think so.

Candalua 14:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Modern languages change quite a bit, you can't assume that they won't. The article you linked is from 1995, over 10 years ago. Nick says it's an old dispute, let's not let it cross over to here. Cbrown1023 talk 15:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

This is nonsense. Are you saying that in only 13 years our language changed so fast that suddenly all the people use this new system? (Please note that Venetian is not taught in school, except for poems, traditional songs etc. that are currently taught using the traditional writing system.) Languages change, ok, but it takes much longer. And anyway, the Regional Council did not approve any "change" in the writing system after 1995, as far as I know, and you didn't provide anything to prove your theory that the language is "changing". So, this is not about "languages change". This is about "a few people pretend that our beautiful language has to change". Candalua 15:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Translation requests/WMF/About Wikimedia

I did Translation requests/WMF/About Wikimedia/hr and Translation requests/WMF/About Wikimedia/sr yesterday. Someone should check the Serbian version as I'm not very versed at writing with a Cyrillic keyboard. Admiral Norton ^(talk) 13:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Minor edits to Donate/mt & Home/mt

I have made some minor edits to these pages. This was because there was a "small" change in the Maltese grammar by the Council of Maltese. Can you please update them. Now, about the link http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Agħti_donazzjoni can you change it to simply http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donazzjonijiet , because it is a bit long. "Donazzjonijiet" is 'Donations' in Maltese. Thanks. Chrisportelli 08:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I added wmf:Donazzjonijiet as the main one to wmf:Template:DonateLang (the other link will still work too). I published your updates to Home at wmf:Il-Paġna prinċipali and will do Donate/mt right now. :-) Thanks, Chris! Cbrown1023 talk 14:34, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you think it would be pretty non-controversial for me to work on categorizing the uncategorized Board elections... pages, as I did with Category:Essays? Judging from Category:Board Election 2004 it seems there is already an effort to categorize these but there is probably a lack of uniformity. Cirt (talk) 17:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I can't see why there would be, they're just archives. Why do you think there would be a problem? Cbrown1023 talk 20:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Translating into Spanish

Hello Casey, Thanks for the response. Per your suggestion, I went to the home page. Then I click the "Español" link and it takes me to http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Portada. I see that the content under "Últimas noticias" is in English, so I thought I could translate that. However, I cannot figure out how to do it. I tried following your link to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Home/es then clicking on the "edit" tab at the top. However, when in edit mode, I do not see any of the English content. Thanks, Burt

Hey Burt. The news items are setup a little differently. ;-) To translate them, visit Translation requests/WMF/News-es. If you need help (wiki syntax can be confusing), feel free to leave a message here or poke me on Yahoo! Chat. Cbrown1023 talk 19:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Translations into Romanian

Since our last messages I continued to translate various pages. Besides the m:Translation requests/WMF/Home/ro (including the attached News pages) I translated Translation requests/WMF/Staff and am working on Translation requests/WMF/Board of Trustees which are listed as requests with priority.

I am not sure what else is needed. Some of the translation requests are old and others might even not be useful (for instance the file regarding chapters would be required only if a certain community wants to create a local chapter. Just let me know if you want me to continue and how.

SincerelyAfil 00:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

We're going to have some new pages that need translation in the coming month(s) (big Fundraiser coming up), so I think I won't put a lot more work on you right now. ;-) Thank you for all that you have done!

Your reversion

I have seen the image's description page. It does not explain why it is relevant on the Tell us about your Wikipedia page. It's just two people. A caption isn't even given on the page explaining as to why the image is there. Perhaps you could clarify? —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 22:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, you were incorrect... it's not "completely irrelevant". I can't see how an image of Wikipedians is not acceptable for a page about Wikipedians giving feedback. In response to "a caption isn't even given", maybe you should add to the content by adding a caption instead of deleting items? However, if you can find a better illustration, feel free to replace it. Cbrown1023 talk 01:51, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I highlighted the lack of caption as part of my argument; I assert that there is no acceptable caption in the context of that page. The two people are Wikimedians, yes, but they are ostensibly just two people in a library on a page entitled "tell us about your Wikipedia". It is my opinion that such an image is not related to the topic, and should not be there. I don't plan to engage in a conflict over the image, and don't care if it remains, but I really think that it is superfluous on the page. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Head of Community Giving

Hi, Cbrown. What exactly does the Head of Community Giving do? --Hillgentleman 18:34, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Hillgentleman. The job request with the description can be found here. Basically, this is the guy in charge of regular donations. That is, those from our community and from the people who read the sites (including the fund-drives). Cbrown1023 talk 18:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Allow me to butt in into the conversation. Apparently, I found that in ALL Job opening description pages, under "About WMF", they forgot Wikispecies (yes, they forgot it again...) OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

They didn't forget it. For example, we don't include Wikiversity, Meta-Wiki, or Incubator either (or the MediaWiki software). Only the most widely trafficked/largest are on there.

Hi! I saw you switched the status from done to proofreading. First at all I'd like to apologize for this error. Can I do the proofreading? Thank you. Dferg (T-ES) 20:34, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, it's no problem at all. It's not that there was anything wrong with the translation. ;-) We just make sure that we have the translations reviewed by at least one other person before we publish them. I would rather if someone else did the proofreading (it's normally hard to copyedit your own work), do you want to ask someone in #wikipedia-es? Cbrown1023 talk 23:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Fundraising translation

As you have requested me so at Thai Wikipedia, I am translating it. :-) However, I am a bit confused:

Thank you for working on the translation! Sorry it's confusing. :-(

• In English version, why does the text "project" highlighted in yellow? What is that mean? How does that effect the translation work in Thai?

  The word "project" was added to the English version after translations were started, it was just a note to translators who already started that the word was added. You can remove the highlighting in the Thai version.

• In English version, number 61-69, 74-79, 83-89 and 103-109 are missing. What are them? Why they are not on the page?

  They don't exist, they just skipped some numbers when creating the source.

• In English version, number 92, it says "check and stock". Is Wikimedia Foundation in a stock exchange? If so, it is not a non-profit organisation, is it? Also, I assume you meant "cheque"... so cheque or what?

  Stock: Sometimes people donate stock to the Foundation. For example, someone might buy some Google stock for the Foundation to give as a donation.
  Check: Yeah, check and cheque are synonyms. (Check is more common American English.)

• In English version, it mentions the chapters which the donor may contact. However, there is not any in Thailand yet. Shall I slightly add some notes a bit or skip that number?

  You can still translate it. It will list one of the existing chapters of the Wikimedia Foundation who agreed to special contract for this fundraiser.

Thank you for answering my questions. I hope to translate more in the future for benefit of Thai language. (even I am now not finished yet!) --Passawuth 12:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

:-) Does all that make sense? Thanks again for translating, Passawuth! Cbrown1023 talk 21:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you :-) However, the "default money" one what do I have to do? When converting to Thai money, it has something like "cents" at the back. Also, can I change the amount of the money? The whole number Baht without decimals cannot be as same as those in dollars. (Do you get what I say?) --Passawuth 13:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, please forgive me, stock like:

• supply of goods
• the value of the shares in a company that have been sold
• the share that somebody has bought in a company

Which one? I'm bad at economy... :-( --Passawuth 13:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I think stock most closely means "the share that somebody has bought in a company" in this case. For the "default amounts", it does not need to be an exact conversion. Just do whatever makes sense (or has the same value roughly) for Thailand. Cbrown1023 talk 14:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

With the help of other Thai users, finished! However, I am a bit confused. The amount of money in this page is still in USD, but on the translation page I wrote Thai Bath. Also, [19], [20] and [21] are not yet translated. Where can I translate those pages? Thank you. --Passawuth 14:02, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

We'll work on translating the other pages later (they aren't as important as the ones you've already translated), we'll start that translation process this weekend (I hope). About the currency, I don't think PayPal accepts that currency. If it does, tell me, and I'll update it. Cbrown1023 talk 21:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Some new added stuff in Fundraising 2008/core messages/vi

Some phrases added to the end of the page, should I translate it? I guess no. Vinhtantran 03:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The ones at the end of the page should be adjusted depending upon what Vietnamese uses. For example, since Vietnamese uses the đồng, you would change $ to VND/₫. If they use different “quotes” than English uses, you'd change that as well. Cbrown1023 talk 12:02, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Minor problem in Chinese translation again

First of all, thanks for your effort of sovling the problem I mentioned last time. However, I still have one more question. In the translation page, "Wikipedia" is translated to "維基百科", and this is the name which Chinese would use. However in the banner, most of them remains "Wikipedia" instead of "維基百科". Is it deliberately not translate the word "Wikipedia" for all languages, even including non-latin lanaguages?

That's because we are using Meta ({{SITENAME}}) for the sitenotices, so that they will not say "Wikipedia" when we enable it for the sister projects. Cbrown1023 talk 15:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, both "Wikipedia" and "維基百科" appear at the same time in sentence 4: "當您需要維基百科的時候，Wikipedia總在您身邊。——現在維基百科需要您的幫助！". As that version makes the word "Wikipedia" appearing 3 times, I have suggested another version: "當您需要維基百科的時候，它總在您身邊。——現在它需要您的幫助！". Please replace 維基百科 with Wikipedia when necessary. Thank you! -- Kevinhksouth 13:53, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure, 谢谢 for your update. ;-) Cbrown1023 talk 15:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. It is me again. Last time at Talk:Fundraising 2008/core messages#Please help publishing several zh variants, I have pointed out "維基媒體" was wrongly written as "維基媒体" on zh-hant page, and then you have fixed it. However, I just found out one more: Donate/Now/zh-hant - "維基媒体需要您的支援！" should be corrected to "維基媒體需要您的支援！" in zh-hant. Thank you for your help again. -- Kevinhksouth 13:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Fundraising 2008/core messages/uk

Hello. Could you, please, help to fix a problem in translation into Ukrainian. Now it says «Підтримайте Вікіпедія — неприбутковий проект.» However, we have cases in Ukrainian language, so according to grammar rules it should be «Підтримайте Вікіпедію — неприбутковий проект.», as written in message #6. By the way, it's necessary to update Ukrainian version according to changes marked in blue. Thanks — NickK 16:08, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The notice gets "Вікіпедія" from {{SITENAME}}. In order for it to work on the sister projects, I need to know what it will be for each of those names:

• Вікіпедія = Вікіпедію
• Вікісловник =
• Вікіпідручник =
• ВікіНовини =
• ВікіЦитати =
• Вікіджерела =

Thanks! Cbrown1023 talk 16:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

You can use {{grammar:accusative|{{SITENAME}}}} instead. There is difference only for Вікіпедія/Wikipedia, for all the other projects it's the same. Thanks — NickK 16:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Done, it takes 5-15 minutes to update. I don't think it worked, though. If it doesn't, send me a message here and I'll try another solution. Cbrown1023 talk 17:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

But grammar:accusative is defined only for Вікіпедія, Вікісловник, Вікіпідручник, ВікіНовини. For other projects Ukrainian names are not defined yet.--Ahonc 18:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I will do:

{{#switch:{{lc:{{SITENAME}}}}
|вікіпедія = Вікіпедію
|wikiquote = ВікіЦитати
|wikisource = Вікіджерела
|#default = {{SITENAME}}
}}

Does that sound okay? Wiktionary, Wikinews, and Wikibooks do not change and the sites have "SITENAME" configured. Wikiquote and Wikisource do not change either, but they do not have the sitename configured. Cbrown1023 talk 19:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Estonian translations of Fundraising 2008 core messages

Hello! I hope this is the right place to post this. The community of Estonian Wikipedia would like to see the (text of the) banner a little smaller (it is believed to be too intrusive). If this is not possible, then it doesn't matter. Secondly, the desired text of the button is Anneta (=donate). Maybe you just haven't had time to correct it. And finally, is it possible to change the red color of the button to something else (like gray)? --Jaan513 15:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jaan513. Unfortunately, we are unable to change the banner size or colors. But I have changed "Anneta kohe" to "Anneta", the changes should appear on etwiki within 5-15 minutes. --Az1568 (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Fundraising 2008/core messages/be-tarask

Hello! Thank you for the translation implementation. It turns to be one small mistake. The original count of chapters in line 123 was 19, but if there are already 21 of them, then it is not correct to use “зь 21”. The right variant is “з 21”. Could you please fix it? By the way, it is possible to use just “з” with any number, even 19 (“зь 19” is just more preferable), so it will be ok to change 21 to any other number in future if any. I'll correct the translation in a moment not to confuse with such a nuance. --zedlik 01:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

G'day Wikimedian :-)

Whilst it's quite likely you'll have heard this news on the grapevine, in your email inbox, or even in person - I thought that it was sufficiently exciting to warrant giving each of you a 'new messages' orange bar! This particular orange bar has been brought to you to let you know that Wikimedia Australia is now open for members!

I'm not on the committee or anything, and that's where the credit is due in getting everything to this point, but I think it would be absolutely fantastic for folks who wish to support the australian wiki community, to go ahead and sign up - we're quite likely to be the world's fatest growing chapter at the moment! Join Us :-)

Here's a little more about membership, and the mailing list in particular is well worth signing up to as well, and is a good forum to get answers to any questions answered, or to share any ideas. I've dropped these notes in under my own steam, and you've received one because you're on this list - feel free to ask me any questions, or anything - I can certainly point you in the right direction :-) cheers all, Privatemusings 04:04, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Header Norwegian bokmål

Perhaps easier to communicate directly with you here instead on Jon Haralds page (and in English instead of Norwegian ;o). Core messages/nb is already up to date, but #22 that reads "velgjørere" for "benefactors" has not been copied/implemented in the heading as it shows on pages like http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate/Now/nb. Same goes for #27 "gjennomsiktighet" for transparancy".

Hmm.. it displays fine for me. Maybe you need to purge/clear your browsers cache first? --Az1568 (talk) 19:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I've been purging since 11:11 ;o). http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate/Now/nb & http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:ContributionHistory/nb does not show the same heading for me. Finn Rindahl 19:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what it would be then. All I can suggest is that you either keep trying, and hopefully it'll fix itself, or try viewing the page another browser. :( --Az1568 (talk) 19:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem, as long as it renders as it's supposed to for everyone else I'm happy ;o) Finn Rindahl 19:40, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Validation-error text

It seems that the parameter 'validation-error' (you must enter a valid amount) has not been added to the various donate/now/xx pages - do we have translations for that somewhere or do we need to set up another translation request? Finn Rindahl 16:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

We have it, see Fundraising 2008/core messages/missing. Cbrown1023 talk 17:22, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Really?!? what number is that? We just got #11 "You must contribute at least..." which is 'validation-error-minimum' but I can't see texts for 'validation-error' Regards, Finn Rindahl 17:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

*slaps self* Sorry, I haven't been thinking straight lately. ;-) No, we don't have a request for that yet... maybe a #12? Cbrown1023 talk 17:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

OK ;) Just wanted to check before adding any more of those ready #11s, if it was possible to add both those parameters at the same time it would save a few clicks. But I'll get on with the rest of them now, could you add a new translation request then? Finn Rindahl 18:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I poked Naoko about that. She'll ask around and see if we'll need another request for that string. --Az1568 (talk) 15:01, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

But we'll probably end up waiting until we get the next round of sitenotices to request it, so that the updates are clustered together. Cbrown1023 talk 18:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Have we not got something like this from previous years? - I mean "you must enter a valid amount" isn't excactly poetry...Finn Rindahl 19:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Ping regarding translation links

Your name was mentioned here in the course of discussion about which translation links should be prominent on the Main Page. Your opinion would be much appreciated if you have a spare moment. :-) Cheers. --MZMcBride 21:01, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Notification that identification is required is now translated to Spanish

Hello,

I've translatedin a subpage of mine (from -en to -es) the template used to require the identification. Now, I wonder if it needs proofreading or I can move it to the correct place. Thank you. Dferg ^(T-ES) 16:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt to ask someone on IRC to look over the translation. However, you can move it to the proper place whenever you want. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 01:00, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Done - I've moved it to the correct page (I've asked permission on IRC) Best regards Dferg ^(T-ES) 17:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

What is it for "Wikimedia" (Вікімедіа)? That will be the default. Cbrown1023 talk 23:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Like Wikipedia (Вікіпедія). Thanks — NickK 20:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Fundraising/yi

I don't see the purpose of your repeated reversion of the status of the Yiddish translation. Unless you are proposing to finish the translation yourself, it is not going to get finished.

Currently all the banners appear in English. In what way is that better than having the most common ones appear in the local language?

Unless there is a possibility of further translations taking place, the most sensible option is to publish the existing translations.

--Redaktor 21:58, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

The translation wasn't "done" as the status you put suggested. Perhaps if you had used an edit summary (you used none) saying something like "the translation will not be finished, just publish the sitenotices", we would all know what you were talking about. We can't read your mind. :-) However, it's sad that all of the existing work has gone to waste since you won't finish the translation. Cbrown1023 talk 23:53, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

1 Apologies for not using the edit summaries.

2 Thank you for having the translations published. If any untranslated messages become visible I may translate them. But it is very time-consuming, and there are other things to do!

--Redaktor 19:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

You're so close to having the whole thing completely done. :-) When you have time, all that's needed is: 71, 73, 92, 94, 96a, 97, 99, 100, 101, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120. Then you're done. :D Cbrown1023 talk 21:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

he.wiki Personal Appeal translation

Hi, Jimmy's appeal sitenotice in the he.wiki has a problem: the comma "," should be in the end of the second row, not at the begining of the first. Currenty:

אנא קיראו:
פנייה אישית מג'ימי ויילס
, מייסד ויקיפדיה

should be:

אנא קיראו:
פנייה אישית
 מג'ימי ויילס, מייסד ויקיפדיה

Also, the "Collapse" is not translated. Shoud be

הסתר

and "Expand" should be

הראה

Thanks, Yonidebest 22:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Done expand/collapsed will be fixed soon. Cbrown1023 talk 22:47, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Yonidebest 01:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Cbrown1023; I edited the Hebrew translation of the appeal, in [24], to imporve the language. Please perform your magic so that the new version will be the one presented to the visitors of the Hebrew Wikipedia. Sincerely, Uzi V. 21:43, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Done, thanks. --Az1568 (talk) 23:53, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Quality Wiki

What does it do? And someone (probably you) registered today as CBrown, might be a good idea to verify if that's you. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 03:42, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that was me who registered. :-) (It was just so that I had that variation saved as a global username.) Quality Wiki was a site created to showcase the initiative by the Foundation to boost quality on the sites. I think it was intended to be used as a workplace for discussion, but things have gone sorta stale since then. The only content is what you can see on the Portal pages. The only real success from that initiative (I think) was FlaggedRevs which is installed on a few wikis. Cbrown1023 talk 03:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Thai donation page

Hi Cbrown! On the Thai donation page, the Thai WP logo has projected out of the blue frame. It is because of the size of the logo - but can you resize it please? I'm not the uploader of the logo.
