I wanted to ask for your help. As you may be aware we have been running banners on many language wikis. We have a lot of new content this year and I really want to conduct a thorough review of our translations. This is a combination of feedback from the community, readers, donors as well as those with professional translator experience. This will help us ensure the highest quality of translations used in our messaging. |

To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to give us feedback for Dutch using '''[[Fundraising_2012/Translation/Community_review_-_nl|This Link]]''' |

Hi there. Thanks for taking care of the vandalism there just now. One minor point; when you're deleting the vandalism page, don't forget to clear the default edit summary or the personal attacks remain in the logs.

Hello Oscar. Thanks for [[Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat/Archives/2009-04#On_Changing_the_name_of_the_wiki_itself|your help]]. Since months, now it is smoothly displayed as '''Türkmençe''' thanks to your efforts. Would you please [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary#List_of_Wiktionaries see this] where '''Türkmençe''' is used as [[تركمن / Туркмен ]] in 66th row (first part is Turkmen in Arabic letters, second part is Turkmen in Cyrillic alphabet in Russian Language). And, it is used as '''Türkmen''' [http://www.wiktionary.org/ here]. Would you please help me to change both versions into '''Türkmençe'''.

Hello Mr. Oscar! |
|||
Take care and stay safe.-- [[User:ValentynNefedov (WMUA)|ValentynNefedov (WMUA)]] <sup>([[User talk:ValentynNefedov (WMUA)|talk]])</sup> 09:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC) |
|||
My question is : are the policies and guidelines as read in english wikipedia the same as those applied by wikipedias in other languages? If the answer is "yes" (as I believe to be the case), can someone like you or other person in authority recall to romanian users with extended rights to '''stop removing content which originate from reliable sources and added by specifying these very sources'''? In fact, it seems that that would be just respecting and '''applying''' wikipedia’s own rules… |

My name is Remus Octavian Mocanu and I am a romanian living in french speaking province of Quebec, Canada. I am an agnostic and I think my own point of view concerning various religious subjects should be reflected too in romanian wikipedia, all the more as my opinions converge frequently with those expressed in many scientific or encyclopedic sources that qualify themselves as "reliable sources" according wikipedia’s own rules. |
|||
[[File:UCDM 2023 promo2.png|180px|right]] |
|||
I’ve tried to take part in the wikipedia project by editing different pages on romanian language wikipedia, but I frequently met with resistence from people with rights to remove repeatedly text, people having rights like you or more probable with functions inferior than yours but still having more rights than the simple occasional user as myself. Honestly I picked your name up from a list of people with authority without knowing for sure if you’re religious, fundamentalist or not religious at all, and there is still a hope in me that such affiliations actually doesn’t matter so much for an openminded individual when applying a regulation that he is supposed to respect and follow. Actually, what I see here on the english version is that people allow in religious matters both points of view, the traditional and the academic one. I know also that some romanian-speaking people involved in english wikipedia are sympathetic with those that keeps articles about religion "safe" from any "critical historical view" opinion. |

|||
I always used material and information from reliable sources, usually scientific books or encyclopedias (I have acces to 10 or more online encyclopedias) and I am ready to subtantiate only with this kind of reliable sources ANY assertion made by me in ANY article text that I ever edited there. If just one such assertion originate in a source that is not perceived as reliable according english wikipedia rules, I am ready to accept as being my fault all dispute. |

I would like to invite you to participate once again in this writing challenge! We have revised the suggested articles and announced new prizes for contestants to motivate fruitful contributions from participants. I hope to see you on board soon! |
|||
As mentioned above, in my opinion this resistance has religious (or ethnic-nationalistic, or clannish maybe) roots, and as an example I take the article "judaism" ("iudaism" in romanian) in the romanian wikipedia (but on subjects about islam (e.g. "Quran" article ("Coran" in romanian)) and even christianism the text is sometimes also quickly reversed if the added information is perceived by some people with extended rights as somehow unacceptable, although this information too originate in reliable books, scientific articles or just paid encyclopedias): on '''these''' above-mentioned articles and some others concerning religious matters, a group of users with extended rights don’t allow other users like me to add content '''which express views and informations like those found in the section called "critical historical view" on english wikipedia''', altough ALL that information is cited from reliable authors, scientific literature or encycliopedias like britannica, americana, the encyclopedias from Oxford Reference Online, the Macmillan Encyclopedias, the encyclopedias from Gale Virtual Reference or encyclopedias from Cengage Learning Online, etc. |

I guess the history of those changes in articles is still stored there and anyone can see who made what... Unfortunately there, there is no one to judge and take actions to force the respect of the rules: one person actively involved there till recently, told me last year in a private email that the problem originate in powerful individuals coming from the wikipedia's high hierarchy, that allow people to keep "safe" from any intervention some religious and ethnic-related subjects. I don't like and I don't believe any conspiration theory, but the resounding silence resembling a kind of omerta, makes me now think twice about this eventuality, although for the fact that there is no one there to enforce the respect of the rules, there is still a more simple and probable explanation: there should be no wonder with people ellected from a population which expresses strong religiosity in proportions even bigger than U.S. population, but which moreover has a long tradition of hijacking functions for personal or private group interests, to be so reluctant to accept diversity of opinions, even when these opinions are science's own. |

I had the same problem one year ago, when I abandoned disgusted any work there, with the hope that things evoluate spontaneously, thinking that a free ellection process by itself will do some good in putting more openminded people in administration functions, but now I have to face the evidence that nothing changed, not even the names... |

Fundraising translation feedback[edit]
Hey Oscar,
I wanted to ask for your help. As you may be aware we have been running banners on many language wikis. We have a lot of new content this year and I really want to conduct a thorough review of our translations. This is a combination of feedback from the community, readers, donors as well as those with professional translator experience. This will help us ensure the highest quality of translations used in our messaging.
To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to give us feedback for Dutch using This Link
