Deuxième version du contrat à Wikimedia and Mandrakesoft (2nd draft agreement), plus élaborée. La question DVD/CD n'est pas à la charge de Foundation dans cette version. villy 19:42, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm sorry to say so, but I'm currently in the process of completely rewriting the Wikinews page as outlined in this mailing list post. I'm afraid the translation will have to be updated after that is finished.--Eloquence 21:54, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Wikinews

Haha, plus vite que la musique, traduction achevée. Mais à relire à fond please, histoire de traquer les incohérences (qui, d'ailleurs ne sont pas toujours de mon fait). J'ai pris UNE grande liberté avec une phrase qui n'avait aucun sens, question posée sur la page de discussion en engliche. Mais là j'ai la tête en vrac, et je peux plus voir cette page en peinture, il faut quelqu'un qui n'a pas baigné dedans, je compte sur toi pour revoir ou faire revoir... Merci pour le petit mot :D.

Wiktionary stats

Hi, thank you for your updating of Wiktionary. Could you make a sum of words on all Wiktionary? I think we need to update details in Wikimedia:Our projects on WMF site too, and the number of total words is required for this purpose. If you update WMF sites Translation requests/WMF/Our projects/En:, you will be very appliciated. --Aphaia 08:45, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

WP and Mandrake

Could you take a look at my request on Talk:Wikimedia_and_Mandrakesoft? Dysprosia 22:30, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Macedonian wiki on start page

Could you add Macedonian wiki on Www.wikipedia.org_template which is mk:, its been a time that it has enough articles to be there. Lincher 22:33, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That is true, it is on the portal but not on the Template which is now used as a front page to wikipedia. Lincher 14:08, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Www.wikipedia.org_template

Because i don't know who i should ask for that, i ask you. Could you make changes to the front Www.wikipedia.org_template so it reflects the Complete list of language Wikipedias available page. Meaning that both pages have approximately the same number of articles and reflect the same order of wikipedia (1st to 10th). Thank you in advance Lincher 04:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Permissions

Hi Yann, i de-sysopped Robin Patterson from sm.wiki. Seems there's some objection from another user. I think is better if we try to understand what's happening. See here. Also take a look at this. Do you think is better to remove his rights also on mi.wiktionary?

Regards, --Snowdog 21:45, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Seems Node is indeed a bit trollish, on the other hand seems to me (judging from his contributions) that Robin has a limited knowledge of that language. I don't understand why he wants to be an admin there. I left him a message anyway, hope this won't start a flame. --Snowdog 23:44, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Slightly active

To be inactive means that nobody ever does changes to the wiki, but wikis that have articles even if it is only 1, might have been created in a not so long future as rendering this wiki inactive that is why these wikipedias are slightly active. Plus, when updating the wikis, it is easier to do the list of slightly active than the inactive one which is updated once a month or so. I think it is better the way it is because if a wiki seems to be active people come to it. Just a little remark to wikis with big numbers that aren't modified anymore like bengali, souldn't they be put to the inactive wikipedias, no, because somebody was once active in it.

Quarto 4 help

Hello Yann,

I could use some help with the next Quart; the founder's letter and some basic reports should be ready this week; it would be lovely if you could help get a french version translated. Anthere and I will both be preoccupied with Wikimania things next week...

Many cheers, +sj | Translate the Quarto |+ 21:48, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Table for translations

Yann, thank you so much for the table :-) this is really great - I always have to copy and paste some other table and try around to have a finished one ... so it really takes time for me to create me - you helped me a lot. Ciao!!! --Sabine 04:35, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Wiktionary template

Hi, I left a note on the www.wiktionary.org template a while back after the Ido wiktionary reached 10000 articles asking to put it into the search box; now it's nearing 20000 and still not there. I assume it was overlooked; nobody seems to use the discussion page over there. 211.58.237.50 04:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Still not in the search box. 211.202.17.124 05:44, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

WMF budget

Could you have a time to copyedit Wikimedia budget/2005/Q2-3/Fr just now Weft has finished and upload it to WMF? If not, would you seek the other francophone who is willing to manage it? Merci d'avance. --Aphaia++ 21:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Multilingual portal

Hi Yann. When you update Www.wikipedia.org template, could you do it by copying across from Www.wikipedia.org template/temp, as that page is generally kept up to date and checked regularly to see which languages are missing or need promoting etc, whereas the protected one is updated a bit at a time when someone notices part of it needs changing. There are also a few other fixes on the temp page, such as the markup conforming to XHTML 1.0 strict. Thanks in advance. Trilobite 20:30, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the priviledges on es.Wikisource, --LadyInGrey 20:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Steward

Il ne faut pas donner un status aux editeurs uniquement parce qu'ils le demandent, mais au moins vérifier si personne ne s'y oppose dans leur communauté. Pour cela, les éditeurs doivent se lister sur une page locale et les stewards doivent attendre qu'il n'y ait pas d'opposition. Merci de respecter cette procédure dans le futur. Anthere 06:10, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

j'ai trouve la page sur wikisource, donc mon erreur, pardon. Cela aurait gagné à être clarifié cependant je pense car ne suit pas du tout les procédures habituelles. Mais mes excuses. Anthere (je suis neanmoins enervee)

Adminship at ceb-wp

Hi, I hope my request for adminship at the Cebuano wikipedia will be processed soon. ;) The required local (ceb-wp) adminship requests page had already been there, just a few minutes after I posted my request at meta. Thank you very much in advance, as I can't wait to change the interface into my our language. Daghang salamat! --Bentong Isles 14:58, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Seed wiki

Hi Yann, I noticed that at the August open board meeting you mentioned you were interested in setting up a seed wiki committee. I've set up Seed wiki and was hoping you could use this page for your thoughts and ideas on policies, projects. Thanks. Cormaggio ^@ 13:49, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikizine

Hi, I am w:nl:gebruiker:Walter of the dutch Wikipedia. I am writing you because your are listed as ambassador of your wiki (Wiktionary FR, GU, HI). I have something to say that I think you will find useful and possibly others of your wiki also.

You know it is not easy for the members of a local wiki to be informed about what is going on in the higher levels of the Wikimedia family. This because of the language problem and the high level of fragmentation of places where you can find information.

I am now making a weekly news letter (Wikizine) that attempts to provide the news of the Wikimedia projects. The concept is to list only a very short description of the news an give the relevant url to the subject. I want it to be short, only give the news that is important for all projects. The target audience include the ambassadors. It is for people who are interested in what it going on outside there own wiki. I emphasize on the news that is practical-technical. The information comes form several "news"-pages on several wikis, the mailinglists and IRC. There will be news I can not discover. If you have news found somewhere or from you own wiki please let my know. wikizine AT wikipedia.be

I can only create one version in something that supposed to be English. I count on the readers to inform there local wiki about the news in there own language.

Wikizine is send by use of the mailinglist Announce-l. It is only used for this. So people can subscribe without being swamped by emails like the lists.

http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/announce-l

I hope that you and others of your wiki will subscribe to Wikizine and give feedback. So that Wikizine can become really a source where Wikimedians can find out what is going on. Greetings, w:nl:gebruiker:Walter PS: do not repond here. I will not see it.

Request for bot status

Could you please take a look and resolve some requests: some are pending more then 2 weeks. Regards, --Klemen Kocjancic 11:25, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Semi-protection

I'll leave this message on Wikipedia as well, but I wanted to make sure you got this. At Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy, a couple users and myself are attempting to gather consensus about a possible change in editing. So as not to keep the community out of the loop, we've been posting to user talk pages, which seems to have worked. If you can add your thoughts to the talk page, it would be greatly appreciated. We've gone over a few issues, ranging from perception of anti-wiki to time limits, and recycling pagemove code, so you might want to check out #Rehashing to get up to speed. Thanks in advance, Mysekurity 21:58, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
