ContentTranslation2

Leef lui,

Gisteraovend heet iemes vaan boete drei artikele aongemaak mèt 'ne vertaoltool dee luustert nao de naom Content translation 2. 't Rizzeltaot is e bizaar slech Limbörgs mèt wäörd oet allerlei versjèllende dialekte, plus gans get Hollandse wäörd.

Iech wèl gere veurstèlle tot v'r 't gebruuk daovaan veurluipeg verbeeje, en wel um de volgende reies:

• Veur 't Limbörgs wèrk 't veuresnog neet. Dat kump doortot 't wäörd vaan alle dialekte ougs, meh ouch umtot de Limbörgse sjriftraditie hendeg klein is. AI kin veur 'n klein sjrieftaol wie 't Limbörgs noets zoe good wèrke wie veur 't Nederlands of Ingels.
• Zelfs al zouw deze tool verbeterd weure, daan mooste otomatische vertaolinge ummer nog zelf naoloupe. Zègke ze wat bedoeld weurt, zelf al zien de zinne grammaticaol correk? Dat werk kump daan op eus sjouwere, dewijl lui vaan boete, die de taol neet kinne, mer rösteg mèt mesjienevertaolinge koume aonzètte. Dat kós wel ins versjrikkelek oet de hand loupe.
• De praktijk heet gelierd tot neet-sprekende gebrukers die hei 'n artikel plaotse - of 't noe 'n vertaolverzeuk is, 'n neet-vertaolde teks in get aanders, 'n mesjienevertaoling of 'n handmaotege poging tot Limbörgs - dat dèks doen mèt 'n aander doel es 't bouwe vaan 'n encyclopedie. Ze promote hun politieke ideeë, of de stad boe ze in woene, of hun relizjie, of hunnen hobby, of e produk boe ze zelf belaank bij höbbe. 't Zien dèks (neet ummer trouwens) neet de oonderwerpe boe veer op zitte te wachte. Die drei vaan gistere waore e good veurbeeld.

Alles biejein liek m'ch daorum tot v'r 't gebruuk vaan dezen tool mer beter gans kinne verbeje - wat in de praktijk trop zal neerkoume tot v'r zoe aongemaakde artikele in principe direk wisse. Zeet g'r 't daomèt ins? Steinbach 🦇 (euverlègk) 3 fib 2024 14:06 (CET)

Joa, ich bin 't doa mit ins. --Zjweëgelke (euverlègk) 3 fib 2024 14:36 (CET)

Gans mit èns. Ich zeen oppe euverligkpagina dao ouch vanne klènder spraoke bezwaore, meh dao wuuert netuurlik neet op gereageerd. Jaomer det v'r 't neet gewuuen oet kónne zitten op dees site... --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 3 fib 2024 19:35 (CET)

@User:Steinbach: Ich weit neet of luuj ieës nao de kaffee gaon en dan onna specefiek hiebaove det laeze. Kónne v'r det neet baeter gewuuen bie MediaWiki:Newarticletext of MediaWiki:Sitenotice zitte? --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 28 fib 2024 19:45 (CET)

Die ierste liek m'ch wel e good idee. Iech naom ummer aon tot veer niks kóste doen aon wat centraol dao-euver beslote waor, meh de höbs geliek: mèt dat beriech kinne v'r dat gemekelek aonpasse. Steinbach 🦇 (euverlègk) 28 fib 2024 19:47 (CET)

Kristalle jubileum Wikipedia

Daag allemaol,

Dit is e bezunder jaor veur us allemaol: de Limbörgse Wikipedia besteit twinteg jaor! Iech vin tot v'r daobij stèl mote stoon. Wie perceis, dat wèl iech gere mèt uuch bespreke.

Wat goon v'r perceis vere?

't Klink mesjiens raar, meh 't is nog lesteg veur te zègke sinds wienie de Limbörgse Wikipedia noe besteit. Miejer data koume daoveur in aonmerking.

• Op 29 augustus woort 't domein gecreëerd. Dat góng toen nog gewoen op aonvraog: "diech wèls 'ne Wikipedia in die-en-die taol? Daan make v'r diech eine!" G'r snap dus tot 't op deen daag nog geinen inhaajd gaof. De ierste versie vaan 't Veurblaad vint g'r hei.
• Op 5 september sjreef 'nen oonbekinde gebruker oet Stein demèt aon de haol; heer sjreef de ierste kemissie in 't Limbörgs op 't Veurblaad. Later dee maond maakde heer - iech dink tot 't dezelfde waor - ziech bekind es "André", heer deeg oonder dat account ein bewèrking.
• Op 6 november weurt 't Veurblaad vaan 'n korte kemissie oetgebreid tot get substantieels, nao 't aajd model vaan de Franse Wikipedia wat väöl klein wiki's in deen tied ouch hantere.
• Op 24 november koume de ierste artikele. Nederlands Limburg versjijnt daan um kwart veur zès in de vreuge mörge - in 't Nederlands, gekopieerd vaan nl: natuurlek.
• Ouch op 24 november melt Guaka ziech aon. Heer is daan al betrokke bij aander Wikipedia's en heet dus al ervaoring. Heer zouw ouch 't IP kinne zien wat op 6 november aon de geng is. In eder geval begint heer daan direk Nederlands Limburg nao 't Nuts te vertaole. Häöm zeen iech es de vaajer vaan de Limbörgse Wikipedia. Es iech instap, ind december vaan dat jaor, heet de Limbörgse Wikipedia nege artikele. Begin vaan 't nui jaor melt ouch Cicero ziech aon. In de loup vaan 2005 kump 't projek mèt us drei good tot leve.

Wat moot noe goon gebäöre

Dit moot geveerd weure! Limbörgers en Wikipediaone mote dit wete, jehzeker! V'r goon 't melde op d'n Hollandse Wikipedia (wat perceis, dao kom iech nog op trök), bij meta etc. En natuurlek bij Veldeke, bij de gezètte en bij 1Limburg. En es 't uuch 'tzelfde is, wèl iech ouch hiel gere de lui vaan vreuger debij rope, nostalgisch ingestèld wie iech bin.

Meh... MEH....

Kinne v'r us zoe vertuine?

Nein en nog ins nein! Dat geit zoe neet. V'r loupe debij wie e vètteg lieske. Hei moot ech nog gans get gebäöre ietot v'r de peers en de naobers kinne opzeuke.

Um mer e paar vaan de groetste pijnpunte te neume:

• Sommege Limbörgse artikele, die v'r eigelek al in 2005 hejje mote höbbe, gief 't nog ummer neet! Wèt g'r, tot euver de miejerheid vaan de dörper in Belsj Limbörg nog gein artikel is? Iech vin 't 'n sjan! (En daobij loer is natuurlek ouch nao mien eige want iech waor al deen tied presint um get traon te doen.) Dat moot ech, ech weure aongepak dit jaor.
• Somege artikele bestoon wel meh zien versjrikkelek verwaarloes. Nederlands Limburg kin anno 2024 ech neet mie zoe - erger verawwerd kin zoeget neet. Ouch artikele wie Geert Wilders en Max Verstappen zien väöls te laank blieve ligke. Dat zien toch artikele die väöl lui wel geïntrèsseerd zalle aonklikke; es ze dit vinde, höbbe ze astrein genóg vaan de Limbörgse Wikipedia! Dus: wat v'r aonmake mote v'r up to date hawwe (al geef iech touw tot iech zelf al deen tied geine zin had um get aon Wilder te doen; ouch hei höb iech dus sjöld).
• Ouch 't Veurblaad, de ierste paasj dieste tegekums, is al väöls te laank 'tzelfde. Dat heet ouch 'n rei natuurlek: v'r make väöls te wieneg nui artikele aon um dat eder maond te wissele. Meh eder jaor get aanders, kom op, dat moot toch kinne?
• 'tzelfde gelt veur de Unmenge aon neet-aofgemaakde artikele. V'r höbbe in de loup vaan de jaore 'n cultuur gekweek boe artikele haaf aofgemaak blieve ligke, dewijl hun oteurs rösteg aon get aanders beginne. Dat moot stoppe. Ietot 't 24 november is, mote de wio's verdwene zien. (En jao, ouch hei is e mea culpa gepas).

Iech hej m'ch Wikipedia anno 2024 trouwens ouch wel groeter gedruimp es 'r noe is, meh dat kin nog wel. V'r goon dit jaor vas wel de 15.000 euver, dat is e sjiek roond getal. En iech höb gelierd de kwaliteit väöl belaankrieker te vinde es de kwantiteit. Zoeväöl Wikipedia's in klein taole stoon vol mèt robot-geginnereerde stumpkes - mèt bekaans niks eigelek. Daan doen veer 't nog neet zoe slech!

En nog get positiefs ouch?

Wiezoe al dat gezóks? V'r höbbe toch get te vere, jeh neet daan? Jehzeker! En dat goon v'r ouch doen.

Ierstens vin iech 't opknappe vaan Wikipedia wie bove besjreve al 'n vering op ziech, zeker es 't lök. Twiedens wèl iech ouch get fiesteleks doen. Iech dink daan in de ierste plaots aon 'ne sjriefwèdstrijd. Dao kinne v'r daan ouch lui vaan boete veur vraoge, beveurbeeld in de Hollandse kaffee. Zouwe v'r kinne dinke euver 'ne leuke pries, al waor 't mer 'n vlaoj? :)

Ouch de huugdepunte vaan 20 jaor Wikipedia verdene 't veur 't vootleech te koume. Eus bèste artikele, complete series etc. kinne daan op 't Veurblaad koume. Same, of in toerbeurt, edere maond 'n aandert. Dat is wel eve get aanders es vief'nhaaf jaor 'tzelfde artikel! En natuurlek mèt 't bijpassend fiestelek veurblaad.

Dus lui...

Noe wèl iech uuch wel ins hure. Goon v'r dit vere? En doen v'r dat daan wie iech 't veur miech zeen, of gans anders? Laot uuch mer hure, Wikipediaone vaan vendaog en gistere, Ooswesthoesbes, Stephan 0796, Zeiverklaos, Luuk043, Pahles, Aelske, LightPhoenix, Guaka, Cicero, BertK, Pivos, Mergelsberg!

Det gaon v'r zeker viere! :) De ieërlikheid verplich mich waal te zègke det ich op 't moment nieks d'raan kan doon, went 't is vastelaovendj. Zeker zón artikel ei wie Max Verstappe mót ich toch waal es Moferter kónnen oetbreie. --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 11 fib 2024 11:35 (CET)

Alaaf Owtb! Gelökkeg höbbe v'r nog wel e paar maond de tied um dit in orde te make. :) Steinbach 🦇 (euverlègk) 11 fib 2024 12:10 (CET)

Dreimoal kreftig alaaf! 🎉 Natuurlig goa v'r dat vere! Dit joar wil ich mich weer concentrere op topografische óngerwerpe en 't beihaote van 't nuitsuueverzich. Wiejer zou ich mieë wille sjrieve uuever de Duutsje taal en höar dialekte.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Meer talen • Help mit 't euverzètte nao dien spraok

Dear all,

This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

• May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
• June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
• June-August 2024: Campaign period
• End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
• October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
• Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.

Best regards,

Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee

[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles

[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.

This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and add agenda items to the document here.

We look forward to your participation!

Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:

Binnenkort beschikbaar: een nieuwe functie voor subreferenties, probeer het uit!

Hallo. Voor meerdere jaren is er ons door leden van de gemeenschap gevraagd om het makkelijker te maken om referenties te hergebruiken met verschillende details. Er komt nu binnenkort een MediaWiki-oplossing aan: de nieuwe subreferentie-functie in de wikitekst- en visuele tekstverwerker werkt bovenop het bestaande referentiesysteem. U kunt gewoon op dezelfde manier werken zoals voorheen, echter kunt u het gebruik van subreferenties tegenkomen in artikelen die door anderen bewerkt zijn. Voor meer informatie, zie de projectpagina.

Uw feedback wordt op prijs gesteld om ervoor te zorgen dat deze functie voor uw werkwijze geschikt is:

• Probeer de huidige ontwikkelingsversie op de beta-wiki en laat ons uw mening weten.
• Meldt u aan om updates en/of uitnodigingen om deel te nemen in gebruiksonderzoeken te ontvangen.

Het Technical Wishes-team van Wikimedia Duitsland is van plan om deze functie later dit jaar op meer Wikimedia-wiki's beschikbaar te maken. We nemen rond die tijd contact op met makers en beheerders van hulpmiddelen en sjablonen gerelateerd aan referenties.

Help ons met het verspreiden van deze boodschap. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

GFDL and Creative Commons

Why GFDL is not a good license for media files

Hello everyone, greetings from Denmark! And sorry to write in English.

Many files are licensed GFDL. But it is not a very good license especially for media files. That is why Wikipedia changed license to Creative Commons in 2009 and why there was a en:Wikipedia:Image license migration.

The change was not completed here but it is easy to do so. Especially if a bot is used. To complete it a template like en:Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0-migrated is needed and also a little change of Sjabloon:GFDL is needed. Then a text like “|migration=relicense” or “|migration=not-eligible” is required on all the file pages. I can make the changes but I need help with translation.

(Many of the files are also on Commons - see Gebroeker:MGA73/Sandbox. If those files are deleted there will be fewer files to check and fix. Probably only about 30 files.)

Some files does not have a license. Instead of GFDL perhaps uploader would add c:Template:Cc-by-sa-4.0? And perhaps also add that to the (few) files licensed GFDL that is not eligible for a relicense?

Last thing for now. Files should have a clear source and author. So if that info is not included it would be good if active users would add that (source can for example be a text like "Own work" or "I made this photo"). MGA73 (euverlègk) 13 sep 2024 21:25 (CEST)

I will prepare the license migration. If a local user have a bot and would like to help please let me know. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 19 sep 2024 19:08 (CEST)

Request for bot flag for User:MGA73bot

Hello! To complete the license migration as mentioned above edits like Special:Diff/469276 is needed on all the files. There are araound 360 files so it is easier to do with a bot (unless the files allready on Commons are deleted first).

I have more than 1 million edits with my bot. See this list for current bot flags. Some flags are removed because task is completed. Some edits were done by MGAbot2.

The bot uses pywikipedia and it is monitored during edits.

Let me know if I should do some bot edits now. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 19 sep 2024 19:55 (CEST)

I have now made some edits with my bot. See Speciaal:Biedrage/MGA73bot.

I marked those that were not eligible (because of upload date) som the rest will most likely be eligible. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 1 okt 2024 21:28 (CEST)

Daag lui, MGA73 wèlt tot v'r hei-op ingoon. Maag ziene robot hei botstatus kriege? Dat zouw beteikene tot v'r zien bewèrkinge neet zien in de Recènte verangeringe. Zoeget moot me natuurlek allein doen es me 'ne gebruker en ziene bot vertrojt. Iech zeen gei bezwoer, meh ietot iech 'ne klap drop geef, wèl iech nog wel eur meining vraoge. Steinbach 🦇 (euverlègk) 11 okt 2024 10:48 (CEST)

Hello Steinbach 🦇! No comments so far. Perhaps you can give me the flag now? I only need it for 2 days to complete the task. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 20 okt 2024 13:03 (CEST)

Files without a license

Hello! As mentioned above there are some files here without a license. The files can be seen at Gebroeker:MGA73/NoLicense. There are 257 files.

Per wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy all files must have a license. If they do not have a valid license they should be deleted. On other wikis it is standard to delete files after 1 or 2 weeks. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 19 sep 2024 19:08 (CEST)

So all active users should help check their own uploads. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 19 sep 2024 19:08 (CEST)

Gebroeker:Steinbach hope you do not mind the ping but perhaps you could have a look at this message and find a better place for it? And you are very welcome to translate it so it is easier for everyone to read.--MGA73 (euverlègk) 11 okt 2024 15:02 (CEST)

The majority of those are own work. --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 12 okt 2024 08:15 (CEST)

OosWesThoesBes that is good. But it still needs a formal license template. Uploader have to add license for example Sjabloon:Cc-by-sa-4.0 so they specify how the file can be reused. By adding a formal license template they release the rights and accept that the file can also be used outside Wikipedia. I was about to suggest Sjabloon:PD too but it is unclear. It should be split up in templates like c:Template:PD-self and c:Template:PD-old-70 etc. so it is clear why it is PD. --MGA73 (euverlègk) 12 okt 2024 09:38 (CEST)

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 22 okt 2024 13:28 (CEST)
