Fwd: [Foundation-l] Fundraising update
by Aphaia 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Hello, here is a brand-new request for translation, see you again at the page! (see below) Languages which aren't mentioned explicitly are welcome too. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brad Patrick <bpatrick(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Dec 18, 2006 4:58 AM Subject: [Foundation-l] Fundraising update To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)wikimedia.org> Hello: Well, after some bumps we have the fundraiser off and running! There was a bug in currency conversion reporting when we got started, but everything has been tested and verified, and now the thermometer is exactly right. The good news is that the currency issue caused the thermometer to *underreport* what was donated in the first day of the fundraiser. Our donation history is available on http://fundraising.wikimedia.org. We also have our default site notice revised and in need of translation. Please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_request/WMF/Fundraising_Sitenoti…. We will go live with the new and improved sitenotice after we get some translations put together. Stay tuned! -Brad _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * Nessuna poesia prima di noi *

[Foundation wiki] Board of Trustees language versions: temporary turned to redirects
by Aphaia 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

Hello there, Regretfully I would like you to notice some versions of [[Wikimedia:Board of Trustees]] are now turned into redirect to the English version due to the recent expansion of the Board (and lack of the stable version, even in English for now). The pages mentioned are: # [[Wikimedia:��]] # [[Wikimedia:Bestuur]] # [[Wikimedia:Conseil d'administration]] # [[Wikimedia:Consejo de Administraci��n]] I touched Italian version slightly ... hopefully I made no hurt. There are now seven Board members, but according to the documents mentioned on the above, five. And one of five stepped down yesterday. Three new faces were mentioned there. I am very regretful by myself, but hope it will be a way to prevent further confusion. For fast remedy, you may add three names to the list on the top and later put their description. Tim Shell will be moved to the section at the bottom, "previous members" due to his resignation. The new English version is coming soon, expectantly. Jan-Bart, one of new board members proofread the meta version and nodded, for your information. Unless other board member stops us explicitly, we'll open this request in the early of the next week. Cheers, -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * Nessuna poesia prima di noi *

Disclaimer for translated policy
by Aphaia 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

Hi all, thank you for your help on fundraising. I would like to bring up another issue again, though (just refreshment ;) We have now laywer-reviewed disclaimer for non official condition of policy in non English. For your sake, many translated documents are now remarked with that in their own language. Some other language documents still lack it though, they are already remarked the same thing in a different way. Thanks always, and I expect those documents are also remarked with the approved disclaimer in days with your help. In details the documents which need this disclaimer are: *[[Wikimedia:Politica relativa alla privacy]] it *[[Wikimedia:Privacybeleid]] nl (translation is underway) *[[Wikimedia:Política de privacidade]] pt *[[Wikimedia:Politika zasebnosti]] sl? *[[Wikimedia:隐私政策]] zh In addition to that, it would be nice the meta (old) versions are also tagged with it, even it is clear those versions are now obsolated. Translation is requested at Translation requests/WMF/disclaimer Cheers, -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * Nessuna poesia prima di noi *

Just wanted to thank all the people from all the different languages who came together to make this happen and did a great job too. We have German, French, Spanish, 2 Norwegians, Czech, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, and Dutch, and I am assured that Turkish is on its way. It would be great to see some of the other languages, large and small. Danny

request [[Translation requests/Resolution:Board expansion]] is now temporally closed
by Aphaia 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hello, thank you for your cooperation always, also offering help on management sphere. It is a nice idea to have Board resolution translations as French editors do, and a good attempt to make a request as [[m:Translation requests/Resolution:Board expansion]]. However regretfully I closed this request just before unless it confuses the order of priorities. It is properly placed on [[m:Translation requests]] but on the automatically creating list on [[m:Translations]], it is not completely unclear. Also it is very visible being linked from Going-on, and many language editors tackled it besides requests in much higher priority and in urgent (yes, some translation has its deadline in today or tomorrow). In my opinion outdated information is in higher priority to be uploaded thus translated than significant but not wrongly represented information. Also the information the Board designated us Transcom requests in the highest priorities. And now we have multiple requests related to the Foundation - so sort of priorities is necessary, in responsible of ours, Transcom. We need - "Give the gift of knowledge" translation - information about the new Board (Board of Trustees; only Japanese version mentions the new construction besides the English original.) - newly revised [[About Wikimedia]] As for the latter two, before fundraising, I am planning to turn the outdated versions into reedirect. We are better to avoid misleading the visitors in feeding them wrong, outdated information. And during the fundraising the number of visitors are dramatically increasing in past experiences. So I decided to close this translation request for a while, until things in urgent is fixed and uploaded to the foundation website. Hopefully we will be able to reopen soon with your translators' always help. Cheers, -- KIZU Naoko Wikiquote: http://wikiquote.org * Nessuna poesia prima di noi *
