Re: There is a difference between the German original and the English text

Hello, thanks for looking into it. The text comes from the PDF publication that I also copied to Commons as File:Free Knowledge based on Creative Commons Licenses.pdf, or at least it should. To save time I actually took the wikitext from the wmse: copy, are there mistakes? --Nemo 14:29, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nemo,

The original Point 16 ist missing - what is correct, since this is some special German stuff. But the text in Point 19 after

Up until 2009 the Wikipedia was using the
GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) by
the GNU initiative. The Free Software Foun-

software documentation, hence it was too com-
plicated and not ideally suited for Wikipedia.

Nonetheless, the GFDL open content licenses
did not have to be abandoned when Wikipedia
was transitioning to a CC-BY-SA license.

from the English is missing. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 14:49, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Wonderful, you're already done with the import! Thank you very much. I didn't know about point 16 of course, should something be done about it?

I've fixed 19 now, I had cut too much by mistake. I left out the quotation from the terms of use to avoid redundancy, and instead created and anchor to link that paragraph directly. Is it ok now? --Nemo 15:17, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, that's better. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 18:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Translation request

Greetings. I see you have experience translating pages here at Meta. If you are willing and able, Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group, is currently recruiting people to assist with page translations. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. --Another Believer (talk) 16:47, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. This makes me happy! --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 10:21, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Jahresplan 2015 - danke

Danke übrigens für deine vielen Fragen und vor allem, dass du auch konkret nach meßgrößen gefragt hast! ...Sicherlich ^Post 23:20, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

@Sicherlich: Thank you very much! für das Danke. Bei mir entand schon der Eindruck, ich sei allein mit meinem Wunsch nach Messbarkeit. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 11:07, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Mitnichten; seit mindestens 2013. Und da bekommt man so lustige antworten wie "Um die Messbarmachung in diesem Jahr zu verbessern, haben wir in der vorliegenden Jahresplanung bewusst auf Vorgaben in Zahlenform verzichtet" - zum glück hat er selbst gemerkt, dass es paradox klingt. oder

"Der Stand für den Jahresplan 2013 beschränkt sich darum auf eher abstrakte strategische Jahresziele." - strategie neu definiert. naja lies selbst wenn du dich aufregen wilst :oD

Für das thema meßbarkeit ist WMD unwillig (und wohl auch schlicht unfähig), aber die MV oder sonstwen interessiert es auch nicht. Von daher sind meine aktivitäten diesbezüglich inzw. nur noch kleine scherzkommentare am rande. Die Ziele sind so wertloser müll, eine auswertung passiert soweit ich das sehe gar nicht (mangels zielen auch kaum möglich) und es gab bisher wohl noch nie eine einzige stimme die gegen den Haushaltsplan gestimmt hat.

...Sicherlich ^Post 22:37, 15 March 2015 (UTC) das WMD mit einem millionenbudget und 60(?) angestellten nicht schafft, ist aber natürlich kein grund, dass freiwillige unbezahlte die kleine projekte machen und die dafür sorgen, dass in Berlin geld ankommt das nicht müssten. Die müssen natürlich ganz genau! Logisch .oO

ach und noch eins: Talk:Wikimedia Deutschland/2015 annual plan/de/Ziele - da habe ich es doch mal ausführlich gemacht weil solche amateurhafte verschwendung von millionen mir die hutkrempe hochgehen lässt. aber Sebastian Sooth (WMDE) hat auf den letzten kommentar vorgezogen zu schweigen. Wie mir scheint eine gänige strategie von WMD. Wenn die Frage oder der kommentar nicht gefällt wird er "überlesen". Wie ja auch MV-Beschlüsse die nicht ins konzept passen gebrochen werden. ...Sicherlich ^Post 22:55, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks!

Dear translator, the Community Liaisons would like to thank you for your interest in the recent 2nd VisualEditor Translathon. The initiative was really successful and we hope to see you sign up for the next one as well! If you're looking for a new opportunity to translate VE-related content, please join translators working on the August's issue of the VisualEditor multilingual newsletter, which will be widely delivered at the end of this workweek. Among other things, this month it features the names of the top contributors for the Translathon. Again, thanks a lot for your help! —Elitre (WMF) and Trizek (WMF), 15:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

PS: Here are some instructions. Please go to the translation page: your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've selected it, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or modify existing ones.

PPS: We are maintaining a list of editors who have worked on VE-related content (such as newsletters). We only use it to notify them of translation opportunities, to make sure they don't miss Translathons, etc. If you would like messages like this one to be delivered on your talk page at a different WMF project, need any help with translations related to VisualEditor or would like to remove your name from that list, please contact Elitre directly.

Last call for WMF grants feedback!

Hi, this is a reminder that the consultation about Reimagining WMF grants is closing on 8 September (0:00 UTC). We encourage you to complete the survey now, if you haven't yet done so, so that we can include your ideas.

With thanks,

I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, Wikimedia Foundation.

Thank you!

I am so grateful to find translations done of some of the strategy content. Thank you so very much for helping with that and with all the translation work you do. It's so very important to helping make sure our movement truly is international. :) --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 13:29, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

And now a request

I'm very sorry to say that there seems to have been a mistake on Template:StrategyButton2016/editintro/Communities, as a result of which the first two approaches were inadvertently copied from Template:StrategyButton2016/editintro/Reach. :( I've copied over the first two bullets you translated to the Reach template, so the translations are still very usable, but I'm hoping that you can help fix the first two bullets in the communities template now that the mistake has been detected and repaired. I do greatly apologize for this mistake, and, again, I thank you for your help. --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 14:30, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

You are welcome. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 14:34, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on content curation & review

I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign to encourage new ideas focusing on content review and curation in Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:39, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Should FuzzyBot remove all potentially outdated translations?

Hello, thanks for adding multiple new translations in your language here at Meta-Wiki in recent years. Please join the discussion with your opinion: Should FuzzyBot automatically remove all potentially outdated translations?. Nemo (talk) 12:00, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

FDC

Hallo Sebastian; ich bereite gerade einen Kurier-Artikel vor, in dem ich die Empfehlungen des FDC zu den Anträgen von WMAT, WMCH und WMDE kurz darstellen möchte. Daher besten Dank für deine Übersetzung der Ausführungen zu WMDE! Sie scheint mir allerdings stellenweise noch etwas verbesserungswürdig. So übersetzt du "However, WMDE has ample organisational capacity to design and implement its programs and activities. Thus the FDC expects a plan with more granular detail and more challenging programmatic targets in future applications" folgendermassen: "WMDE verfügt über umfangreiche organisatorische Fähigkeiten, um seine Programme und Aktivitäten zu entwerfen und umzusetzen. Daher erwartet das FDC einen Plan mit mehr Detailliertheit und anspruchsvolleren programmatischen Zielen in zukünftigen Vorhaben." Ich würde eher so übersetzen: "WMDE verfügt jedoch über grosse organisatorische Kapazitäten, um seine Programme und Aktivitäten zu entwerfen und umzusetzen. Das FDC erwartet daher in zukünftigen Anträgen einen detaillierteren Plan mit anspruchsvolleren programmatischen Zielen" ("programmatischen" könnte man evtl. auch einfach weglassen, ohne die Aussage zu verändern) - vor allem bezieht sich "future applications", wenn ich das recht verstehe, auf künftige Anträge und nicht Vorhaben. Das FDC möchte detailliertere Angaben in den Anträgen, oder? Ich betrachte das allerdings alles auch nur als interessierter Quasi-Aussenstehender mit beschränktem Durch- und Einblick (bin einfaches Mitglied von WMCH, bei WMDE und WMAT bin ich nicht dabei), der bei der Information der Community mithelfen möchte. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:52, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Hallo @Gestumblindi: Die Übersetzung stammt von @Dr. Bernd Gross:. Ich werde sie mir aber ansehen. — Wo wir gerade miteinander sprechen: Hast Du Zeit und Lust, eine Episode des Wikipedia-Podcasts https://wikistammtisch.de mit mir zu gestalten? Bei Interesse würde ich Dir weitere Informationen zukommen lassen. Grüße! --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 07:00, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Prima, nur zu. Es gibt Stellen, die man sicher verbessern kann, speziell im letzten Abschnitt habe ich eine Aussage zu den Schwierigkeiten der Vergangenheit nicht verstanden, was das FDC damit sagen möchte. Herliche Grüße von Bernd - die Brücke (talk) 07:04, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Danke für's Anschauen der Übersetzung! Der Podcast ist wohl eher nichts für mich, aber danke für die "Einladung" :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 22:53, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi! This is an invitation to join translators working on the upcoming issue of the multilingual newsletter for the visual editor, which will be widely delivered when it's end of Friday in Central Europe.

Monuments Calendar 2014/2015

Is the calendar available anywhere? Monuments of Poland 2015 ISBN 9781325047918 ISBN 9781325047901 I am asking, because one of the photos was taken by me. I got some postcards with this photo, but I was not informed that a calendar was released. I collect all printed media with photos taken by myself and I got no author's copy.

Hi User:Abrimaal these calendars are printed on demand. They are automatically updated every year. Just search for "monuments of poland calendar" at amazon.com --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 21:14, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I bought one at online shop, but I should not buy it. Authors of each of the used photos should get a free copy, shouldn't they? Abrimaal (talk) 23:58, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi User:Abrimaal, I get 1 Euro per sold calendar (less is not possible). Last year ~7 Monuments of Poland calendars where sold. This means, I cant even buy one of the calendars for myself from the money I get. Sorry, I cannot effort to buy a calendar for every photographer. Kind regards, --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 07:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Try using different pictures every year. Every year I release a calendar with photos taken by myself. Started in 2016 with 20 copies, 2017 - 50, 2018 and 2019 - 100, for 2020 500 copies were printed. What images did not go into the calendar, I uploaded to Commons for Monuments 2019 contest. And I also do not make money on these calendars, because the editions are financed by third parties, I get only a few copies to share among friends. Thanks anyway for releasing this calendar. Abrimaal (talk) 06:06, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi User:Abrimaal, the On-Demand printing service https://calvendo.com says no to yearly updated calendars. Clavando automatically updates the calendar tables every year but doesn't like updated photos. My original intention was to create a calendar for every country that participated in Wiki Loves Monuments eversince, but even this was not possible. The advantages of https://calvendo.com are: they promote the calendars on several platforms including Amazon and they don't request any financial investment from me. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 11:04, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Lingua Libre

Hello Sebastian Wallroth I work for Wikimedia France on the project Lingua Libre and I saw that you had recorded words on the platform. I was wondering if you could give me feedback on LL as it would be very helpful for me to work on making the tool more efficient. Thank you in advance for your reply -- eavqwiki 12:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi User:eavqwiki, thank you for contacting me. I'm more than happy to provide feedback, because I'm a big fan von Lingua Libre. Where should I provide my feedback? --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 16:29, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi again, first you can fill in this form https://framaforms.org/enquete-lingua-libre-1569573296 if you haven't already it would be very helpful.

Then if you feel you have more to say or ideas to suggest we can talk about it more in depth through skype, email or the Lingua Libre chat room, let me know! --eavqwiki (talk) 09:30, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2020

Hello!

You are getting this message because you've previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey, in either the Wikisource or Wiktionary categories. I wanted to let you know that this year's survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until November 11. Unlike previous years, we are only accepting proposals for non-Wikipedia content projects with no dedicated teams (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews). You can learn more on the survey page.

You can vote on proposals from November 20 to December 2. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won't send out a separate reminder to you about that. We look forward to your participation. Thank you! IFried (WMF) (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Call For Volunteer Facilitators Across Africa

The African Narrative

Dear Wikimedian,

The Africa Narrative is seeking volunteer facilitators in Egypt (two volunteers) and Senegal (two volunteers) for the AfroCreatives Wikiproject.

The AfroCreatives Wikiproject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African creative sector, as well as enthusiasts more broadly, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. Its inaugural effort will target the film sectors of Egypt, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal.

The Africa Narrative (TAN) is a non-profit that develops singular, high-impact initiatives in support of African creatives and the African cultural and creative industries with the aim to strengthen capacity in the continent’s creative economy and the global visibility of African cultural soft power.

All volunteers must have full professional proficiency in English. In Senegal, they must have native or full professional proficiency in French; in Egypt, they must have native or full professional proficiency in Arabic. Volunteer facilitators should have a vast knowledge about Wikimedia projects and experience with teaching new editors. All volunteers will be compensated.

Interested participants may sign up on the project's Meta page. You may also indicate your country and email if your Wikipedia account is not associated with any email address.

The Africa Narrative/Volunteers

We will be glad if you can share with or recommend an Egyptian or Senegalese Wikipedian as well.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for taking part in Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2023. We are always welcoming newcomers in our annual campaign on writing about Ukrainian culture and people as it helps to constantly broaden the horizons of our contest. Did you know that this year we have recorded contributions in a record-breaking 64 language editions? It was certainly not possible without you!

As promised, we would be happy to award you with a certificate of participation. Please make sure that you have enabled email function, I would reach out to you soon.

Detailed results would be soon published on our landing page and top-30 contributors will receive prizes, so stay tuned for that.

Thank you for all the translations on Diff

		Another Rosetta barnstar!
		Sebastian, I just wanted to take a minute and share my appreciation for you translating so many articles on Diff. It's a welcome and unexpected surprise. The German version of the site for the last few weeks is so rich and full of stories from the movement thanks to your contributions. You have my thanks and if you ever need anything, please reach out. Chris Koerner (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 15:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Chris, you could do me a favour: the "und" between the authors names on top of German diff posts misses a leading and a following space. It looks like you are a diff administrator. Can you fix it? There should be a translation tool at the Wordpress dashboard. Kind regards and many thanks for your appriciation! --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 20:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank for pointing that out. I have a temporary fix in place that should make this appear as intended. I'll work on a more reliable solution with our developers. Chris Koerner (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 16:15, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Änderung Gemeinde Eglfing

Hallo Sebastian Wallroth,

Warum haben Sie am 28. April 2022 das Wappen der Gemeinde Eglfing gefälscht? Infoeglfing (talk) 07:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Guten Tag @Infoeglfing, vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Ich kann Ihre Erregung verstehen. Das war echt ein blöder Fehler. Ihren Hinweis damals habe ich nicht bemerkt. Jetzt habe ich den Fehler sofort korrigiert. Ich bitte um Entschuldigung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 07:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Danke - ich habe es nämlich nicht geschafft als Wiki Anfänger die richtige Datei wieder herzustellen. Infoeglfing (talk) 08:02, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Frage zu VRT

Lieber Sebastian Wallroth mal so eine generelle Frage, wenn jetzt mal jemand eine Erlaubnis für ein Bild dem VRT zuschicken möchte. Was muss da alles drin stehen? Oder gibt es ein Formular dass auf das man verlinken kann und das wenn heruntergeladen und ausgefüllt, dann an einen vom VRT zusenden kann? Und was ist denn die korrekte Adresse, an welche man die Erlaubnis dann senden kann? Mit Freundlichem Gruss, Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Ich habe dann das Formular auf commons gefunden. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 19:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Tut mir leid, dass ich mich nicht gemeldet habe. Ist irgendwie untergegangen. Schön, dass Du es gefunden hast. Herzliche Grüße! --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 07:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear Sebastian, I would like to seek your kindness to help us "internationalize" the front page of Pilipinas Panorama Community (PPC) — our thematic community based in Manila, Philippines. Here's hoping that you may translate our English language source — to German. You were referred by Eva Martin of Wikimedia Deutschland — who has been very nice to us.

Most sincerely -- Buszmail 7:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Buszmail, it's Done. Greetings! --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 08:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
