The big mistake of Wikipedia

Militarization violations by Norway (to the Svalbard Treaty, where China is a signatory)

I cannot see that there is interwiki to Chinese about the Svalbard Treaty [1]

There is a discussion going on about "Norwegian book about militarization violations of the Svalbard Treaty" at [2].

China is one of the signatories of the treaty.

The book is Satellittkrigen [3].--Chadburrey (留言) 2012年1月6日 (五) 14:45 (UTC)

Its Chinese article is 斯瓦爾巴德條約--HW (留言) 2012年1月7日 (六) 12:58 (UTC)

need help with translation

你們好。我常常由Flickr跟攝影師交往，平常我用公式化的信，但是這封信是英文寫的，所以對中國的攝影師不太有用。我想問，你們可不可幫助我翻譯到中文？下面是我的英文信：

Language support group for Chinese

The Wikimedia Foundation has brought together a new team of developers who are dedicated to language support. This team is to support all the languages and consequently it is not realistic to expect that the team members can provide proper support for your language. It is for this reason that we are looking for volunteers who will make up a language support team.

This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.

As much of the activity will be concentrated on translatewiki.net, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.

Hi there:

The Good_article 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%AE%8A%E6%85%8B_%28%E6%97%A5%E8%AA%9E%29' should not be on the front page.

Your help is needed to delete one article

Hello, Chinese Wikipedians, I'm from Japanese Wikipedia. Recently, the article ja:石川太陽 was deleted from the Japanese Wikipedia. So, I would like Chinese Wikipedians to discuss to delete the same article 石川太陽 from the Chinese Wikipedia too. I would deeply appreciate it if you could add 石川太陽 to 頁面存廢討論. Thank you very much for your cooperation. --Isamit (留言) 2012年2月20日 (一) 04:44 (UTC)

I am a relatively new Chinese Wikipedian, but as far as I know, the policy for biographies of living people (or BLPs) in Chinese Wikipedia is different from Japanese Wikipedia and currently we don't have specific policies judging the existence of articles about pornography artists. From my point of view, the article is only an unsourced BLP and a stub, apparently not violating any policies in Chinese Wikipedia. Could you please elaborate on the reason why you would like to have this article deleted on Chinese Wikipedia so we can help?--Lakokat (留下一條線) 2012年2月20日 (一) 04:52 (UTC)

Let me make myself clear as "we don't have specific policies judging the existence of articles about pornography artists" is not completely true. We have a general notability guideline and we have a policy for the general category of biographies of living person, but unlike Japanese Wikipedia, we don't have ja:WP:PERSON#アダルト俳優 (guidelines on this specific category of BLPs). And currently, BLPs just failing to meet our notability guidelines are not qualified for being nominated for deletion (AfD) immediately. In Chinese Wikipedia, {{Notability}} template would be put on the article instead and 30 days is given to cite sources to prove the importance of the person. If the article still fails our notability guidelines after 30 days, it would be nominated for deletion.--Lakokat (留下一條線) 2012年2月20日 (一) 06:30 (UTC)

Thank you very much for great your help. I understand what I should do at first. I added {{Notability}} on 石川太陽, 奈義 and 翔 too. I'll wait 30 days. Thank you so much again. --Isamit (留言) 2012年2月20日 (一) 11:54 (UTC)

Translation request

The Wikimedia Foundation is preparing to launch a survey that it hopes will be helpful in discussing the future of how projects are funded on Wikipedia and sister sites. (More information about this can be read at meta:Fundraising and Funds Dissemination/Resource list and meta:Fundraising and Funds Dissemination/Recommendations, but you don't need to read it to help out here. :)) We would like input from as many people as possible, but the survey translations are not yet completed in many languages, including yours. The English version of the survey is at meta:Survey of how money should be spent/Questions/en. The Simplified Chinese version, currently only 2% complete, is at meta:Survey of how money should be spent/Questions/zh-hans. If you can help, you would be very welcome!

Translations are done using the "translation tool". If you go to this special page, all you have to do is select your language from the pull-down menu, alphabetical by language code, and click "fetch". It will bring up a table. You can easily see what has been translated and what has not, because untranslated sections are green. Click on the blue text in the left column next to content that has not been translated to open up an editing box. Above the box, the English version is shown, and you can simply enter in your language translation beneath it.

The survey is pretty short, so I hope we can get it completed in time to send it to editors in their own languages. Thanks for any help you can offer! --Mdennis (WMF)（留言） 2012年3月5日 (一) 17:15 (UTC)

Funds Dissemination Committee: Input requested

Hello!

I would like to post a message to this Wikipedia to invite Wikipedians to provide input on the Funds Dissemination Committee.

As many of you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation is working with The Bridgespan Group to develop a process for allocating movement funds to programs and other projects. As a part of this, the Board of Trustees resolved to create a Funds Dissemination Committee to make recommendations around how funds should be divided and allocated. Over the next months, we will be developing the FDC’s charter and clear processes around funds dissemination. As we do this, we invite you to share your thoughts on how this process can best support the movement’s mission in a fair and transparent way.

We are hosting a forum for input on the Community Engagement page. Visit this page or the FDC main page if you would like to provide your thoughts and to find more information on how to get involved. Please provide your thoughts on Meta, as we are posting this announcement to several Wikipedias and would like to collect input in one place.

Thanks! The Bridgespan Team Meerachary TBG（留言） 2012年4月18日 (三) 23:27 (UTC)

Article translation request

I am trying to find someone who can help to translate User:Russavia/Polandball into Chinese. If anyone could help with that, it would be great if you could drop me a message on email ([email protected]) or on my Commons talk page (Commons:User_talk:Russavia). All editors have my permission to edit the article at User:Russavia/Polandball to do the translation.

The article already exists on Russian, Spanish, Catalan, Arabic, Dutch, Greek, Swahili, Persian, etc Wikipedias. Any help with translating this article would be greatly appreciated

In return for a translation of the article, I will upload 50 new Chinese-related images to Commons, from a range of subjects. Russavia（留言） 2012年5月10日 (四) 23:12 (UTC)

Well to be honest I think if someone translate it into Chinese it will be deleted just like on en wiki before long.--CHEM.is.TRY 2012年5月11日 (五) 11:44 (UTC)

The article was kept on Russian Wikipedia (as per ru:Википедия:К_удалению/5_апреля_2012#Polandball). It also exists now on more than 10 Wikipedia projects. The undeletion process for the article on English Wikipedia will soon be undertaken; don't pay too much attention to the AfD on enwp. Russavia（留言） 2012年5月13日 (日) 13:53 (UTC)

An unblock request from the en:zh:user:99801155KC9TV.

I hope that this is either a misunderstanding, or that this is simply a joke. I am not "Kagemusha". When [was] he, or some-one from Taiwan, known to be using British IP addresses and numbers anyway?

I of course can read (and write a little bit of) Chinese myself, due to reasons best kept to myself, and perhaps this, at the moment, is what it is called "玩得太盡". What I did was simply undoing his edits, which, I believe, is allowed.

Upon second thoughts, "the other user" perhaps might not be him, after all, and I would regret, and would apologise, if indeed this is indeed not the case.

Question on languages.

1) How, if an article does not have a comprehensive languages? 2) How, if contents of an article for one language is not same with other languages? —以上未簽名的留言是於2012年7月24日 (二) 02:42 (UTC)之前加入的。

Only some articles will have a comprehensive collection of "interwikis", or articles on the same topic in different languages. These are usually well-known topics, or for example languages or geographical locations. Meanwhile, it is a common occurrence that an article in one language will be far more detailed or more recently updated than in most other languages. Thus, it is often a good idea for editors who understand both languages to incorporate information from one interwiki to another, being careful to cite sources particularly in the target language. Unless you are fluent in both languages, it is easy to make some grammar mistakes. I have thus usually limited myself to simply updating figues and statistics in non-English languages, with the caveat that some references are available on the "main" article. If the information in one version directly contradicts another, you may have to do some additional research to determine the sources of info and the reliability of such sources. For an example of an article that is well-written in Chinese (中文) but only contains a bare minimum of information in English, compare 引力波天文學 and en:gravitational-wave astronomy. 星風戶碼一（留言） 2012年7月25日 (三) 23:39 (UTC)

Giulio Angioni, professor at the University of Cagliari, is the author of about twenty books of fiction and a dozen volumes of essays in cultural anthropology. Giulio Angioni is considered one of the initiators of the Sardinian narrative of today in the European arena, which followed the work of individual prominent figures such as Grazia Deledda and Emilio Lussu. His best novels are considered to be Le fiamme di Toledo (Flames of Toledo), Assandira, Doppio cielo (Double sky), L'oro di Fraus (The gold of Fraus). --BEKKE（留言） 2012年10月23日 (二) 11:24 (UTC)

On conversion between characters

大家你好！

我要問在中文。　我不會的語言好。那我用英文，世界語。

英文

Firstly, I want to say I am greatly impressed by your determination to keep the Chinese Wikipedia unified.

Secondly, I want ask, how did you pull it off? I come from a region called Punjab. It's spread across two countries: India and Pakistan. The regional vernacular, Punjabi, has two main scripts: Shahmukhi and Gurumukhi. Most people who know one script, are unfamiliar with the other.

The relations between two countries can be compared to those between China and Japan of late. There is such a lack of communication that there are now two Punjabi Wikipedias. My dream is see them merged into a single project through the use of Chinese style conversion between scripts; software does most of the work and proof-reading gives a finishing touch.

I wonder if you could provide guidance. We will create character (word) tables and the software. It will be a great assistance if you could show how to combine the conversion programme with Wikipedia and other related things.

Thank you for reading!

世界語

Unue, mi volas esprimi ke mi tre alte estimas vin por daŭrigi unuiĝon de Ĉina Vikipedio.

Due, mi volas demandi, kiel vi faris ĝin? Mi loĝas en regiono Panĝabujo. Ĝi estas disvastiĝita inter du nacioj: Barato kaj Pakistano. La regiona gepatra lingvo, panĝaba, estas skribita per du apartaj skriboj: ŝahamuĥi-ortogragio kaj gurumuĥi-ortografio. Multaj personoj, kiuj konas unu skribon, ofte estas nekonatuloj de alia skribmaniero.

La relatoj inter du nacioj estas pli malpli tiaj kiel estas lastatempe inter Ĉinujo kaj Japanujo. La manko de interkomunikado estas tiom granda, ke ekzistas du Panĝabaj Vikipedioj. Mi revas kunigi ilin sub unu projekto per uzo de ĉinvikipedi-maniera transformado inter ortografioj; programaro faras multon da laboro kaj poste homoj ĝustigas etajn erarojn.

Mi volas demandi, ĉu vi povas gvidi nin? Ni kreos vorto-tablojn kaj la programaron. Estus tre granda helpego se vi povus montri al ni kiel kunigi transformad-programon kun Vikipedio kaj asiti al similaj agoj.

Dankon por legi!

it.wiki in trouble, once again, this time is worse than last year

Hi, this is just to let you know that the dangerous law that wasn't issued last year, when we blacked-out the site, is once again under discussion at the Italian Senate. This time things seem to be much much worse than one year ago. The act is now harder and contains many more obligations, so many and so dangerous that no sysops would work at such conditions because it would definitely be too risky. Very few among our users would go on editing BLPs or "spicy" topics any more because it could be very costly: up to 100,000 euros! And any legalised troll saying that something in our articles disturbs him, would be entitled to request an addition (inside the article) which actually we are not going to accept because the troll is not required to be honest and tell the truth, any liar would be legally welcomed and we couldn't even comment... (I'm not kidding, it's incredible but true...)
Moreover, this time the approval could more probably be forced by the so-called technical government (headed by Mr. Monti), and all the bigger Italian parties toghether (Berlusconians hands in hands with former communists - both had separately tried to enforce such an act before) are working for strengthening the act. So, this time we need a critical help from anyone, we need it now because the scheduled vote on next Monday could be the last time we can freely work on it.wiki. We need it strong because main Italian media are simply ignoring our protest, and we can't read any news about it outside the web.
So, please, please, please, do whatever you can in order to avoid at least that this can happen in a complete silence. Inform your deputy, call the closest Italian embassy, spam your papers and/or our Senators (open individual files for addresses), use your fantasy and do whatever you think might be strongly helpful in protecting Wikipedia, starting from spreading the news across the WikiWorld.
Any little thing you can do will be vitally important for it.wiki.
