I have been very patient and have gone insane. Is there a SFTP client with a gui rather then having to type files? thanx

Symode,
I think it could be done with a little patience :-)
I suggest you try getting an SFTP client working then you can upload really quickly. Try FileZilla.

I have a toolserv account however, it was a bitch (srry bout language) uploading it and, I recieved NO help - I attempted to get help for over a month and, asked everywhere, my conclusion: people on the toolserv are generally douchebags

Symode,
Your use of the Wikimedia logo on your pages is questionable as they are not official. Have you considered getting a [[m:toolserver]] account to run this survey off? That would probably be a more appropriate option.
Thanks,
Sean

Hey everyone! I have begun working on the census and have a section on most projects where I would like questions to be put up. I am working on the coding/layout of it all so, take a look at the preview at http://loopaustralia.com/survey/index.php?sid=54369&lang=en - it may not work for everyone since it has not been published but, you can have a very rough idea about how it looks. It will slowly evolve so, keep checking back. There is a section on each project in the same location on each; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Census http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Census http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Census etc.
We need help to work out how we could get users to fill it out, by the name, a census is meant to be filled out by the entire community but, emailing out to 5 million+ users would be a world record spamming (c) brianmc
Any ideas on how we could do it?

Hello all,
The following was posted to internal-l by Sue regarding a possible 'Edit Wikipedia Week' to be held in December as part of a way of keeping the momentum of the fundraiser going. All are invited to participate in the planning for this event at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit_Wikipedia_Week.
Thanks,
Sean
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sue Gardner sgardner@wikimedia.org Date: Nov 5, 2007 4:09 PM Subject: [Internal-l] Edit Wikipedia Week: call for participation To: "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination (closed subscription)" internal-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Hi folks,
I'm writing to invite you –chapters, individuals, everyone- to help stage a bunch of "Edit Wikipedia Week" events in December. The idea is to pick a date, probably the week of December 3, and stage outreach events around the world designed to encourage people to participate in the projects.
The events could be practically anything – big or small. You could speak about the projects at a local school; get yourself booked on TV; talk to a local photography club about contributing to Commons; organize a marathon weekend of translations; recruit new people to help you launch a WikiProject, or even just teach your mom how to edit. Anything that you think will improve the projects: the purpose is to reach out to people who don't edit, and encourage them to make a contribution.
This is intended to be an experiment. The premise is that anyone can organize an event under this umbrella idea, and it can take whatever form makes sense to them. Nobody needs permission: feel free to just participate.
Why now? As you know we're in the middle of the annual fundraiser, which this year runs from October 22 to December 23. Because it's so long, we want to stage events at various points, designed to keep the media and the public paying attention. We've got some Wikipedia Academies coming up in South Africa http://internal.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Academies on November 10 and 11, with Jimmy, Frank Schulenburg and Ndesanjo Macha. Edit Wikipedia Week would be the next big event after that.
This would be focused on Wikipedia, because it's our biggest and best known project, and therefore most likely to generate interest among the media and general public. That doesn't mean we couldn't hold similar events for Wikinews, Wikibooks, Wikisource, or any other WMF project. Implementation-wise, I'm thinking of having us set up edit.wikipedia.org, which would redirect to pages in the local Wikipedias. Each of those pages would also refer back to the ongoing fundraiser with a little info-box (something along the lines of "There are different ways to help Wikipedia..").
I'm also going to ask Cary to make a page for this on meta, where we can discuss it, and people can post events. I would ask you please to translate and share this note with whoever you like. I know that not everyone can afford to make a financial contribution to the fundraiser: I am hoping some people will choose to support it (us) by helping with Edit Wikipedia Week instead.
The first thing we'll need to do is finalize a date. I think December 3 would probably work best, but please let me know if/why you think another week would be better.
And lastly .. I am thinking this could become an annual event. In that spirit, this year may be a little wonky and haphazard, which would be okay. If it goes well, we'll learn some good lessons, and next year will be better :-)
Thanks, Sue

In which OS are you? Assuming Windows, you should try out WinSCP3. I hope that by typing you don't mean manually copying the files to a shell...
If you have any problems.
On the survey, "Choose only one of the following" is superflous when you can only choose one. "If this is incorrect, please go back. Do not use your browser controlls, use the button inside the page." -> There's no back button in the page (and the web should be able to work with the browser back button).
What type of account on Wikiversity do you have? You can't have a Developer account on any WMF wiki. Nor can you be steward per wiki (you are or not on the global WMF wikis). Nor can you AFAIK have Oversight other than in en: wikipedia (it's handled by stewards).
Keeping it Standard User / Administrator / Bureaucrat sohould be enough. Only maybe having Checkuser.

In theory... Look e.g. at http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListusers&username=&...
Developers there are "Aoineko", "Hashar" and "Shaihulud"
On dewikipedia, it's Eloquence and Magnus Manske.
I agree that it is somewhat redundant to have these (they don't serve any purpose anymore, do they?) but they are still there...

In Theory, yes. In practice there seems to be a bit of a mess On dewikipedia, Tim_Starling has oversight On frwikipedia, Anthere and Cary Bass have oversight Other projects, I didn't check.

Checkuser should be added, imho.

Errrr, that's unfair :-) I gave myself oversight just 3 days ago. I thought the recent lawsuit was a good opportunity to understand how oversight technically works. Fact is, it did not work... My understanding is that you can not oversight a version which is deleted. So, I should have undeleted the version first, so as to be able to oversight. Then redelete. At which point I thought "not a good idea as it will be recorded in the logs".
But well... normally, there is no oversight on frwikipedia. The fact we have oversight right now was a side effect of an office action.
(irrelevant to the Census thing, but just explaining the "bit of a mess") :-)

I would avoid using any examples of board members/office staff having anything on any wiki as part of anything. Note: the oversight is on account [[User:Cary Bass]] and not [[User:Bastique]]. This should clearly demonstrate that the ability is only for office purposes.
