Messaggio

Se l'ho mandata da meta è stato casuale, forse l'avevo aperta sul momento. Però non posso rimandarla, non ho cliccato il salvataggio in copia :D Forse la trovi nella mail spostata nel cestino in automatico, comunque non era essenziale, riguardava il sistema OTRS.

non sto a rimandartela. Se mi ricapita te ne mando una uguale.--Alexmar983 (talk) 02:52, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

ma sicuro, l'OTRS ha una lunga strada di aggiustamenti davanti a sè. Francamente prevedo tempi così geologici che parlarne ora o fra due mesi o fra sei mesi o io o un altro cambi in sostanza assai poco.--Alexmar983 (talk) 06:28, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Angelucci

grazie di esserti "assunto la responsabilità". Sembra una sciocchezza ma già in mailing list di WMI implorai un minimo di finalizzazione un anno fa. Quando si tratta di gioire e lodarsi come comunità c'è la fila, ma poi quando si tratta di metterci la faccia... in particolare mi stupisce che al netto di tante affermazioni assertive che sento in giro off-wiki nulla è chiaro e nessuno ha mai messo (almeno l'ultima volta che ho controllato) due righe in linea guida che stabiliscano quando una pagina bloccata per ragioni giudiziarie può essere sbloccata.

Rimango del mio avviso comunque che certe cose dovrebbe essere discusse in pubblico. Si tratta di un precedente non da poco, bisogna parlarne. Capisco che tutti abbiano timore di far passi falsi in pubblico ma saranno sempre sul lungo periodo meno gravi di non parlarne apertamente. Non dico questo in generale, sia chiaro, ma nel nostro caso. Siamo una comunità non una multinazionale e certe cose devono avere un passaggio pubblico dove sono metabolizzate a livello collettivo.--Alexmar983 (talk) 06:46, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Re:Translate

Ho fatto io grazie per la segnalazione intanto guardo in che altre pagine è incluso per sistemarlo. Per sistemarlo andrebbe sostituito al tl nome tl in questo modo la pagina appare nella lingua dell'utente (se ne esiste una traduzione di quel tl) se invece viene inclusa semplicemente con {{}} appaiono i tag translate e la lingua è quella della pagina non quella tradotta. --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 12:59, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

• Find out more about the movement strategy process
• Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

Thanks for ...

The link to the Italian policy (or guideline) on paid editing. I can only read it in Google translation, so I should review it several times before commenting, but some questions for now.

• Is it an alternative policy as envisioned by the Terms of Use or is it simply an interpretation and/or strengthening of the ToU?
• Was it presented to and approved by the community as an alternative policy?
• Is @Nemo bis: listing it as an alternative policy at the behest of the community?

These questions are important because an alternative policy essentially revokes the "paid part" of the ToU and replaces it with the new policy. Rather it looks to me at first glance, that the policy you linked to is simply an affirmation of the ToU, with perhaps a bit more to strengthen to policy (which is perfectly allowable under the ToU).

Thanks for any help.

Smallbones (talk) 11:58, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@Smallbones: I'll talk only about Paid contributions without disclosure, not compare the whole ToU - otherwise we will never end ;)

Comparing WMF ToU and itwiki policies on paid contributions, we can say that they are almost the same (as you noticed yourself), with the difference that on itwiki it is explicitly said that missing to fullfill the requirements on CoI can trigger a ban, i.e. failing to disclose the CoI. Moreover, being a sysop there, I can tell you that the habit now is to ask to the user to write a statement on its user page, disregarding the two other possible practices (there are good reasons for that). The main difference -imho- resides in the username policy, that enforces WMF one.

Above, in the Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud section, to avoid that a user creates an "official" account for a paid contribution, and uses it to enforce its edits above the ones of other users, or simply impersonates another individual or a company, such usernames are blocked immediatly. This is done also because we don't have ways to certify that the user behind the name is really what he/she pretends to be, so it's a way to protect the person/company as well; cf Nome utente and related pages. Lastly, there is obviouly a related policy that forbids spam and contents that promote products/people/campaigns/...

Of course, all these policies have been approved by the cummunity. I hope that it clarifies the matter. --Ruthven (talk) 16:23, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks again for the quick response. It looks like I pretty much understand the Italian paid disclosure policy - it makes the WMF Terms of Use slightly stronger. To keep this as simple as possible, I'll suggest that we ignore the Spam and Username policies as not being part of an alternative policy but just supplementing the disclosure policy in the usual way that all policies usually supplement some other policy. In any case those 2 policies aren't crucial to anything I have to say.

I've got 2 concerns here.

• That a policy meant to strengthen the disclosure requirement might, when listed as an alternative policy, actually weaken the disclosure requirement, and
• The formalities of listing an alternative policy haven't quite been followed, and I wouldn't want those formalities weakened for other groups following your example.

In any case I don't have any problem accepting the Italian policy or your right to make an alternative policy. I'm just wondering whether this one was intended as and should be listed as an alternative policy. Fine points, I know, but I think they are important.

First consider why you might want to have an officially designated alternative paid disclosure policy. Adopting an alternative policy revokes the "paid part" of the Terms of Use (ToU) and substitutes the new policy for it. That policy can be stronger or weaker than the ToU, and then it can be changed by the regular methods that are used to change any policy. Thus a policy that starts out stronger than the ToU may over time become weaker than the ToU.

The other route to changing the disclosure policy is to have a policy (old or new) that strengthens to ToU but does not officially declare that it is an alternative disclosure policy. This is envisioned in the ToU FAQs here. Simply adding additional requirements, or just stating and interpreting the ToU, without declaring it an alternative policy (and thus revoking the paid part of ToU) means that the ToU still applies and the new requirements apply and if there is any question of the 2 contradicting each other then the stronger one applies.

I contend that if a community wants to confirm or strengthen the ToU disclosure requirement - as appears to be the case with the Italian community - that they would never submit an alternative policy, just strengthen the policy with additional requirements or just interpret the ToU as it applies to their community.

So hopefully you understand that this fine point has some real effect on the meaning of the Italian policy.

The formalities for adopting an alternative policy are here

What you need to do is clearly state at the beginning that you intend to adopt an alternative policy which will revoke the paid disclosure part of the ToU and put the new policy in its place. I did not see that on the discussion page you linked to. If it has been done already, please just point me to that part. If it was sort of intended but didn't state it clearly, I feel you should go back to the page and ask the community again to confirm that that is what they intended.

On the other hand, if the community intended to just slightly strengthen or interpret the ToU all you need to do is remove the Italian entry on the Alternative paid contribution disclosure policies page. You might want to put it on the List of policies related to paid editing page, but there is no requirement for that.

If I've made this too complicated please just ping me. I appreciate your taking a look at this.

Steward

il prossimo anno steward. Non stare troppo a tirartela, dicutine in pubblico apertamente.--Alexmar983 (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

@Alexmar983: Non è che non ne ho parlato; anzi, ho chiesto pure in giro e -ti confesso- che non sei il solo ad avermi spinto verso la "carica". Il fatto è che ho l'impressione che sia una gran rottura di p. Un vero lavoro da netturbino interwiki :-) --Ruthven (talk) 05:48, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Quando ti candidano ricorda tutti quelli che te l'hanno proposta in pubblico. E se hanno proposto una cosa delicata come la carica di steward in privato, questo è un metodo tipico di certa gente che si stima molto. Del resto meglio che passino il tempo a fare queste cialtronate su wiki, se lo facessero di più nella vita reale farebbero solo disastri.

Per il resto, se fai sysop su due piattaforme, OTRS e CU non ha senso lamentarsi delle rogne a questo punto. Altrimenti si darebbe l'idea che le rotture di p non sono derivate dai compiti in sè ma da quanto la suddetta piattaforma tenda a "rimuoverle" senza affrontarle. Per esempio se ti chiedessi di fare come su enwiki e rendere pubblici i dati disaggregati di utilizzo dei CU quello sarebbe su itwiki una gran rottura di p. da ottenere perché itwiki rimuoverebbe "elegantemente" queste "rotture". Questo è un esempio che cito dalla curiosa sovrapposizione della discussione in meta sui CU e la parallela discussione in ML sysop su itwiki... a agosto tutti avevano voglia di parlare di CU. Sicuramente in ambito meta così è più difficile "risolvere" le "rotture", ma per questo meta è per chi è bravo. Non per chi si fa dire che è bravo da un gruppo autoreferenziale, ma per chi è bravo davvero.--Alexmar983 (talk) 06:14, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Traduzioni

Per attivare le traduzioni bisogna essere translate admin (e comunque non bisogna mettere i tag numerici a mano, i tag sono creati dal sistema di gestione delle traduzioni quando l'admin flagga la versione). Se aggiungi nuovo testo da tradurre usa i tag "translate" e fammi un fischio che flaggo la nuova versione. Non cancellare/aggiungere mai a mano i tag numerici, mi raccomando! --Ysogo (talk) 19:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Predisposto anche l'header. Ciao.--Ysogo (talk) 19:48, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Punto di attenzione prima che faccia ItWikiCon/2019/Partecipanti. Se si porta una pagina nel mondo "translate", le pagine in lingua non sono editabili e quindi non è possibile aggiungere una firma. Per aggirare il problema devi impostare diversamente il modo in cui pensi la pagina "Partecipanti": le sezioni delle firme devono essere delle inclusioni di sottopagine dedicate (e per cui non attiviamo la traduzione) e nella pagina partecipanti devi aggiungere un link "aggiungi firma" che apra in edit-mode la sottopagina. Non mi è stato semplice spiegarlo e non so se ci sono riuscito, conto sul fatto che sei abbastanza wiki-veterano da riuscire a capirmi. Nel caso risentiamoci. Ciao.--Ysogo (talk) 12:04, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Ho modificato la pagina rendendo più esplicito dove cliccare per inserire la propria firma (che essendo una frase può essere tradotta). Ndr: a me con l'immagine non apriva la sottopagina ma mi mandava in commons alla pagina dell'immagine.--Ysogo (talk) 21:44, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Non credo serva metterle in delete, credo vengano ricoperte. Moh provo.--Ysogo (talk) 17:38, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Mi è venuto un po' di mal di testa ma credo di avere capito tu oggi hai creato la pagina in NS0 ItWikiCon/2019/Header, mentre era tua intenzione (conscia o inconscia) quella di modificare Template:ItWikiCon/2019/Header (che è nel NS dei template e non in NS0).

Btw, appena ho qualche buco in giornata, inizio a scrivere ai bar. --Uomovariabile (talk to me) 07:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

No, tocca a noi fare questo. Inutile andare poi a monitorare le risposte: staranno i solito rompiballe che avranno qualcosa da ridire, più per invidia o perché rosicano per qualche ormone non sfogato che per altro. Quella che dobbiamo monitorare invece è la pagina creata (sto ancora cercando di risolvere una cosa con le firme, che pongono problema con le traduzioni). Ma, commenti nostri, non vanno aggiunti: spazio agli utenti partecipanti. --Ruthven (msg) 08:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

OTRS

Bonjour (je me permet de parler français),

Je te contacte, car, comme tu/vous es OTRS, il faudrait si possible créer une nouvelle adresse e-mail pour Wikinews en français, qui serait frwikinews@wikimedia.org. Elle servirait à remplacer celle déjà présente sur les réseaux sociaux mais aussi pour l'inscription au fil d'actualités de Qwant (on pourra aussi faire d'autres moteurs de recherche). Pouvez-vous la créer ?

Pour plus d'infos : n:fr:Wikinews:Salle café/2020/février.

Merci, AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights), le 07:25, 29 April 2020 (UTC), administrateur de la Wikinews francophone.

@AirSThib: Salut, c'est tout à fait faisable de créer une nouvelle adresse pour le projet. Ce serait plutôt wikinews-frwikimediaorg car le code de la langue vient en suffixe. Il nous faudrait par contre une requête officielle, pour avoir l'ok de la WMF. Essaye d'envoyer ce même texte en français (ou en anglais, mais je peux traduire) à otrs-listadminwikimediaorg. Il nous faudrait aussi une liste d'utilisateurs de confiance y ayant accès au départ. Deux-trois noms peuvent suffire. À + --Ruthven (msg) 09:41, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Une requête officielle, dans quel sens, des résultats d'un sondage ? AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights), le 09:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC).

@AirSThib: Dans le sens de simplement indiquer que le projet souhaite avoir un contact email. Les personnes qui auront accès à OTRs devront aussi signer en engagement à ne pas diffuser des données personnelles, comme indiqué à OTRS/Volunteering. Par contre, si dans le groupe il y a déjà un agent OTRS, il peut très bien demander le nouvel e-mail sur OTRS-wiki. --Ruthven (msg) 12:44, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

J'ai quelques avis : n:fr:Wikinews:Salle café/2020/février#E-mail_&_Qwant et donc si j'ai bien compris je vais demander qui souhaiterais y avoir accès. AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights), le 13:44, 29 April 2020 (UTC).

@AirSThib: Oui, ce serait mieux si c'était des administrateurs ou des usagers modèles approuvés par la communauté de Wikinews (pas de longs blocs, pas de querelles, ...). OTRS est une petite communauté où le drame n'est pas bienvenu. --Ruthven (msg) 13:53, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Je le conçois. Je vais me présenter, puisque je suis sysop, et puis, j'aime tout ce genre de choses. Dans quelques jours on aura la réponse (je l'espère). AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights), le 13:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC).

Bonjour. Alors, la liste provient de n:fr:Wikinews:Salle café/2020/avril#Nouvelle adresse e-mail. Il y a donc, qui se sont proposés, @Mattho69, Mikani, and SleaY: et moi. AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights), le 09:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC).

Salut AirSThib, alors maintenant il vous suffit d'envoyer toute cette info à otrs-listadminwikimediaorg, comme ça on en discute et on s'active. Merci --Ruthven (msg) 09:38, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Bonjour, y a-t-il une alternative à otrs-listadminwikimediaorg ? AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights) 10:04, 1 May 2020 (UTC).

@AirSThib: Pourquoi, ça ne marche pas? Sinon envoie-le moi et je fais suivre. --Ruthven (msg) 06:12, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Bonjour. Non, c'est parce que je n'ai pas renseigné d'e-mail comme je suis encore mineur, et je voulais savoir s'il existait un IRC accessible à tout le monde ou pas, quelque chose comme ça. AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights) 08:56, 2 May 2020 (UTC).

@AirSThib: Tu as plus de 16 ans? C'est le minimum pour participer à OTRS pour des raisons légales et, sans e-mail, tu ne peux pas participer non plus (il faut être joignable et pouvoir récupérer son mot de passe en cas de besoin, être inscrit à une mailing list, etc.). Sinon, demande à un des autres usagers d'écrire, avec une liste de participants > 16 ans. --Ruthven (msg) 09:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Ah ben du coup je ne peux pas. AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights) 10:04, 2 May 2020 (UTC).

Bonjour Ruthven, merci pour toutes les informations que tu as donné à AirSThib. Juste une petite précision, dans le mail à envoyer il faut faire une demande pour la création de l'adresse wikinews-frwikimediaorg ou simplement indiquer la liste des personnes qui souhaite y avoir accès ? Merci --Mattho69 (talk) 20:25, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

@Mattho69: Salut. De ce que j'ai compris il faut mettre les deux. AirSThib (Flight attendant · Flights) 07:32, 5 May 2020 (UTC).

@Mattho69 and AirSThib: Ce n'est pas une lettre au pape que vous devez écrire ! :D Mettez toute l'info que vous avez et puis on répondra et on affinera la chose ensemble si besoin. Les administrateurs OTRS sont des usagers comme vous qui ont tout intérêt à voir les choses bien tourner. Donc ne vous faites pas trop de problèmes et envoyez ce mail ;) Ruthven (msg) 08:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Mail envoyé :-) --Mattho69 (talk) 08:36, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Sblocco

Ciao @Ruthven:, Voglio davvero che leggi tutto ciò perchè mi pare molto importante (non voglio delle risposte secche come https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:M7/archivio_2016#Scuse_personali perché ci rimmarei molto male, ti prego :-/). PREMESSA: voglio continuare a contribuire. Davvero...sono stato bloccato su Wikipedia? Bè, io ero l'utente Hisham Boutimah lo confermo però nego una cosa: NON sono stato io a fare le modifiche improprie, è stata una persona che abita con me (questa persona è mio cguino) e lui odia Wikipedia perché legge molto il Wikiveliero...Allora ho creato Carykh, che è il mio soprannome nella vita reale, ma è stato blocaato per sockpuppet (in realtà l'ho creato un po' prima del blocco perché avevo paura che una cosa del genere accadesse perchè lui mi aveva già "minacciato" di farlo)...Poi ho aspettato due settimane (il tempo del blocco) e ho creato Nightmargin (un altro mio soprannome) e davvero te lo posso giurare su qualunque cosa/persona che non sapevo che ciò fosse sockpuppeting (e no, non sto facendo il finto tonto) cioè il fatto che creare nuovi utenti (come faccio a rcontribuire a Wikipedia sennò? il mio utente principale è bloccato). Davvero voglio aiutare Wikipedia, amo Wikipedia e odio i vandali (e questo è provabile con le mie taaante modifiche di patrolling/segnalazioni.

Quindi ciò che chiedo non è di sbloccare tutti e 3 gli utenti, ma solo Nightmargin.

Spero che tu abbia un poco di pietà. Davvero, lo ribadisco ancora AMO WIKIPEDIA è una cosa magnifica. Ti giuro che contribuerò benissimo. Buona continua su Wikipedia ;-) --Nightmargin (talk) 22:19, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Quella del cugino non è una scusa ma tanto so che non mi crederai mai (tanto voi admin non credete a nessuno (questo non è un attacco personale e neanche ai sysop)) se vuoi chiedere a Sakretsu un blocco globale dimmelo prima, così non sarò depresso... 😕--Nightmargin (talk) 22:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

@Nightmargin: Beh, se non sai che era sockpuppeting, ora lo sai. Con l'aggravante della creazione di un'utenza per evitare il blocco. Per il resto, Wikipedia:È stato mio fratello dice tutto e se "tuo cugino" legge minchiate su Internet, non ci posso fare nulla, se non consigliargli di dedicare le sue ore ad attività più utili. Le altre utenze multiple sicuramente le blocchiamo globalmente, sempre per evasione del blocco perché le regole sono le regole. Inoltre il tuo modo di contribuire a Wikipedia era problematico, quindi non ci tornerai proprio per il bene del progetto. Secondo me, non sono 2 settimane che dovevi aspettare, ma 2 anni almeno. Ciao --Ruthven (msg) 08:11, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Community Tech Launches Wikisource Improvement Initiative

Hello,

We hope you are all healthy and safe in these difficult times.

The Community Tech team has just launched a new initiative to improve Wikisource. We have created the first project (Improve ebook exports), which came out of the 2020 Community Wishlist Survey. We now invite you to share your feedback on the project talk page. Please let us know what you think of our project analysis; we want to hear from you! Furthermore, we hope that you will participate in the other Wikisource improvement projects, which we’ll address in the future. Thank you in advance and we look forward to reading your feedback on the project talk page!

Questione

Sei pregato di rispondermi sullo sblocco dell’utenza e gli episodi di cyberbullismo che ho ricevuto da altri utenti come noi Paolo.marraffa (talk) 20:42, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

@Paolo.marraffa: intendiamoci, se c'è un cyberbullo qui sei tu.

1. Hai violato ripetutamente le linee guida di Wikipedia e lo hai fatto di proposito, insultando altri utenti, violando la legge italiana sul diritto d'autore (anche su Commons a quanto vedo) e insistendo nel creare voci di auto-promozione.
2. Sei tornato ripetutamente con utenze fittizie per ripetere i suddetti comportamenti, il che è anche moralmente sbagliato, in quanto fa credere che diversi utenti supportano le azioni di un singolo vandalo.
3. Tutto questo malgrado ti sia stato detto e spiegato cortesemente da molti utenti che questo è un comportamento sbagliato e contro le regole del progetto.
4. Questa stessa risposta ti è stata data in modo esaustivo su Wikipedia in italiano e fingi di ignorarla
5. Tornare su Wikipedia, come hai fatto oggi, da anonimo, insistendo e minacciando è un'ulteriore dimostrazione che non vuoi rispettare il regolamento del progetto sul quale chiedi lo sblocco.
6. Infine, venire qui a chiedere sempre la stessa cosa, senza voler sentire ragioni, è molestare un altro utente. Quindi ti diffido di tornare sulle mie pagine di discussione a perseguitarmi.

Se hai dei dubbi, leggiti le linee guida e chiediti dove le hai violate, così capirai perché la comunità degli utenti di Wikipedia in italiano (e probabilmente anche di Commons, visti gli avvisi che ti ritrovi sulla tua pagina di discussione) ti considerano dannoso. Credo di essere stato esaustivo. Contatta chi vuoi tu a WMI: probabilmente ti ribadiranno le stesse cose che ti ho detto qui e anche su Wikipedia. --Ruthven (msg) 15:44, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

No sono amareggiato da queste posizioni radicali e poco aperte al dialogo. Paolo.marraffa (talk) 15:46, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2021

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

Bonjour à tous ! Nous (l'équipe responsable de Consultation des souhaits de la communauté) venons de lancer le projet d'amélioration de l'OCR ! Avec ce projet, nous visons à améliorer l'expérience d'utilisation des outils OCR sur Wikisource. Veuillez vous référer à notre page projet, qui fournit un résumé complet du projet et des principaux problèmes que nous avons identifiés.

Nous serions ravis que vous répondiez aux questions ci-dessous. Vos commentaires sont extrêmement importants pour nous et auront un impact direct sur les choix que nous faisons. Merci d'avance et nous avons hâte de lire vos commentaires ! SGrabarczuk (WMF) 17:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello! We are still waiting for your feedback. Would you be able to translate this announcement into Italian so I could post it on Italian Wikisource? I really need more comments from the communities. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 19:58, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

OTRS

Hello, a band sent a photo by e-mail. I want to upload this to Commons via OTRS. Can you help me? --Jelican9 (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Do the band has specified a license in the e-mail? Was it a work for hire? In fact, we need the permission from the photograph, not from the band, unless they paid one to perform the photoshot. Once we have this information, we can proceed. Meanwhile, you can upload the photo on Commons, adding {{subst:OP}} anywhere in the page. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 07:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

VRT - General information/Help

Hey Alex! I found your name on the VRT related pages. I read all the information available and I was interested in learning more. I'm an admin at SqWiki and SqQuote and I saw there were no channels for Albanian so I thought that maybe I can be of help. But I generally dislike dealing with antivandalism cases or edit wars, reserving most of my wikiactivity to technical changes. Would there still be "a need for me", as a matter of speaking, in the VRT? Also, given that most of the VRT activity is private I have no idea how intensive the workload really is. Can you inform me more on these 2 aspects? - Klein Muçi (talk) 02:43, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Klein Muçi, actually we don't have a lot (read: none) Albanian requests. It's not about anti-vandalism (this is up to the admins on each project), but more about Copyright (in the permissions queues) and answering questions about Wikipedia or sister projects (in the info queues). So, the intensity of the work strongly depends on the language and the kind of activity. For projects in Albanian, there is no work :) Which is in part good news. I can "leave you on the bench", and ask you to apply in case we have some issues in Albania or relative to Albanian projects. What do you think? Ruthven (msg) 14:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh, okay then. The information part looks interesting! I'm filling an official request later and if you see it reasonable, you can approve it. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 16:11, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Done here. I also sent an email. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:54, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

My VRT Request

Greetings @Ruthven!

I recently requested to be on the volunteer response team so I could help answer emails from concerned users. I was wondering if you could take a look at my request and share your opinion on if you think I am ready. I think I am, but I tend to doubt myself a lot and I would like your opinion as a VRT Admin.

Thanks, -🔥Illusion Flame (talk)🔥19:11, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

@Illusion Flame Hello, I give you a quick answer, as we've not discussed your application yet. At first sight, you lack experience. Generally someone answers to email in project where he's an expert, meaning to know all the rules established by the community, all the unwritten rules, and processes. For simple-wiki you've 700 edits, and that's not many edits. I would suggest to reapply in one year, but you can also wait for an answer from the admins. Thanks for having applied anyway. Cheers! Ruthven (msg) 12:05, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

If you don’t think I am qualified for the info-simple queue, that is fine, but I do think I am qualified for the En-info queue because I know the policies and unwritten rules there. Illusion Flame (talk) 20:15, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

VRT Application

Hello and greetings @Ruthven, I hope you're doing well.

I was a bit confused by this revert over here: [1]

You mention I am "blocked". What does that mean? Roovinn (talk) 03:35, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello Roovinn,

actually I made a mistake reverting Krd's edit. BTW It means that your current blocks make you ineligible for the role. Cheers | Ruthven (msg) 07:13, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Oh okay, thank you for clarifiying that.

BTW, I'm not currently blocked on any Wikimedia project. Roovinn (talk) 08:49, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

@Roovinn Ok, so let me check. Maybe it was a mistake Ruthven (msg) 13:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

VRT - worth re-applying?

Hi! A while ago, I applied to volunteer for VRT - [2] was the application. This application was denied, although I'm not quite sure why. Could you provide some insight as to why my application was unsuccessful? Given my increased experience with AfD and some other areas, do you think applying again would be worth it? Thanks! Actualcpscm (talk) 21:36, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Actualcpscm, as written in the mail, some administrators have considered you too inexperienced for the task. There is no minimal limit in user's contributions to evaluate experience, but ~5000 edits is not a lot, in particular if you compare them to truly experienced users. Said that, applying again in the future is highly recommended in this case: as you participate more and more in community discussions, and apprehend written and unwritten rules of the projects, you accumulate experience that will be useful to answer VRTS tickets. Cheers! Ruthven (msg) 12:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Test and co-create a new feature for reusing references with different details

Hi,

this is Lina and Eline from the Technical Wishes product team at Wikimedia Deutschland. We hope this message finds you well!

We are currently working on a solution to help Wikimedians easily reuse references with different details – a problem related to several Community Wishlist Survey wishes (partially) supported by you (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4).

We want to invite you to a user testing session. During the session, you can test a prototype for Visual Editor and provide your feedback. Sessions will take 30–45 minutes, compensation is available. If you are interested, please sign up here (privacy policy).

Please note that most likely, we won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. We will try to test with a diverse group of wiki contributors. If you’re a fit, we will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

Hope to hear from you soon, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Best, Lina Farid (WMDE) (talk) 18:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

File verification

Dear Ruthven, I'm writing to address a recent issue involving a photo that was mistakenly removed from Wikimedia Commons out of concern for its license: File:Virginio Simonelli shot by Marco Melfi.jpg. It is a photo of Italian singer-songwriter Virginio Simonelli shot by the Italian photographer Marco Melfi, and also uploaded on Wikimedia by Marco himself.

I've been updating Virginio's Wikipedia for many years, as a fan. One day, I complimented Marco Melfi on a photoshoot he did of Virginio and I mentioned that his Wikipedia page has a very old picture, the one that appears now on the page. Marco saw that very low quality photo, and disliked it so much that he offered to upload one of his photos as replacement. He considered it a homage, and he did so immediately. Indeed, he used his personal mail to create the account "Marco Duck", and you can easily check that if you contact him on that mail. After that, I happily used his beautiful photo on Virginio's Wiki page. Despite Marco flagging the file as 'his own work', it still got tagged as missing permission by Gbawden, back on September 25th. I hadn't noticed that, but Marco immediately contacted me for help, because when user Gbawden did that, Marco received an automatic mail from Wikimedia that asked him to confirm his identity by sending a mail to the OTRS/VRT-volunteers. I told him he should send an email in which he stated that it's him and then wait for your reply. Now it's almost a week later and yet the file still doesn't appear to be verified. I am wondering, did you guys receive the correct e-mail from Marco? Or Marco didn't give you enough information to confirm his identity? Should I tell him to send another mail, and in that case, what does he have to write for it to be okay? Or the email Marco sent was okay and we just have to wait? Please let me know! Marco only speaks job-related intermediate English and does not understand the full Wikipedia system, so I'm trying to help him figure it all out. It's a shame to lose such a beautiful photo for a mistake.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Ravenlions (talk) 15:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ravenlions, why are you writing me here and not on Commons? Ruthven (msg) 15:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I thought it was the same thing, sorry! Ravenlions (talk) 12:53, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ravenlions They are different projects and it's easier to follow discussions if they are on topic. Feel free to write me on Commons linking the files you're talking about. Cheers Ruthven (msg) 14:32, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
