How can i volunteer? ---------- Sent from my Nokia phone ------Original message------ From: Nkansah Rexford <nkansahrexford(a)gmail.com> To: "Wikimedia-gh" <Wikimedia-gh(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012 9:38:16 PM GMT+0100 Subject: [Wikimedia-GH] Jury Tool now in our custody Hello all There's a nice tool which can be used for the Jury process of the images submitted during the WLM event last month. I currently have access to the jury tool and I'll love if one or two person can join me do the judging. I wouldn't like a situation whereby my not-so-good eyes will only do the judging. At least 1 or two more persons joining me will be okay. Any volunteer? By the way, we're still waiting for the shipped goodies from WLM to use as prizes for the nicest photos contributors.

[Wikimedia-GH] translate medicine articles into your language, 2012-10-23 webinar, was: [Wikimedia-l] Creating content in Dari
by rupert THURNER 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

fyi, this info is from james heilman on wikimedia-l, who is working on an open textbook of medicine, on how they plan to translate english articles in local languages: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2012-October/122204.html some rondom extracts: We at Wikiproject Medicine are working in collaboration with Translators Without Borders (TWB). TWB does humanitarian translation for other NGOs. The project is described more fully here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas… And progress can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas… If other Wikipedians wish to help I would love that. James Heilman ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Heilman <jmh649(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 7:31 AM Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Creating content in Dari To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org So currently we are translating content into 37 languages. The main help we need is that from Wikipedians to add the content once it is translated into their own languages. Much of the time no content exists however some of the time the new content needs to be integrated with the existing content. If people are interested please sign up here with your language abilities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_tas… We are having a webinar on this topic Oct 23rd for any interested more details will be available soon.

[Wikimedia-GH] Fwd: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Uploader stats

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Erik Zachte* Date: Friday, October 5, 2012 Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Uploader stats To: Lodewijk <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org>, Maarten Dammers < maarten(a)mdammers.nl>, Platonides <platonides(a)gmail.com>, Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition <wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Rob Lanphier <rlanphier(a)wikimedia.org>, Diederik van Liere < dvanliere(a)wikimedia.org> First congrats for the overall success of WLM 2012, and also for the awesome stats at http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php**** ** ** Here are some extra stats about uploaders, with focus on new vs experienced contributors:**** These data are provisional, while we vet input further (last chart seems to indicate there is still some anomaly), see at '==>'**** ** ** This chart shows how the three WLM event lead to increasingly large peaks in new editors (on any project).**** http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2010-2012_linear.png*** * ** ** Same chart with logarithmic y axis. This shows that numbers of old hands contributing to WLM is non-negligible.**** http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2010-2012_log.png**** ** ** For completeness sake, similar linear and log charts where only WLM 2012 is taken into account. **** http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2012_linear.png**** http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2012_log.png**** ** ** Following bar chart shows experienced vs new uploaders to each WLM event.*** * http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2010-2012_bar_chart_co… **** ** ** Last chart is similar as first chart, now with remaining Commons contributors to namespace 6 plotted as second line.**** Surprisingly there is still a big leap in non WLM editors in Sep 2012 **** http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2010-2012_vs_other_NS6… **** ** ** ==> (hmmm, seems too coincidental, are we missing WML participants ?, in other words should some users still move from red to blue line ?)**** ** ** Also updated is monthly Wikistats report:**** http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/TablesWikipediaCOMMONS.htm**** Note that there was no time after closure of month to produce and process full archive dump. That will happen in coming week, and overall article counts and too much lesser degree editor activity counts will drop a few percent, but it should not affect uploader counts. (reason: for stub dump we cannot apply all official criteria for proper articles, as page content is not available: no check for internal or category link).**** ** ** Also noteworthy: you can see which people are most active on the mailing list: http://www.infodisiac.com/Wikipedia/ScanMail/WikiLovesMonuments.html** ** ** ** --**** ** ** Some more details: **** ** ** Each year I get a list of user names of people who contribute to WLM. **** In 2010 the list contained 201 names, in 2011 there were 5462 names and this year 14994. **** That is 25 less than the 15019 mentioned on http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php**** * * I found edits for 14737 out of the list of 14994 that was provided, that may need further scrutiny (maybe some unicode names got mixed up) **** * * *Platonides:* *If we restrict to valid submissions:* *> time sql commonswiki_p "SELECT DISTINCT user_name FROM u_platonides_wlm_p.wlm2012 JOIN user ON (user_id=wlm_author) WHERE wlm_source = 'commons' AND wlm_status='Participating';" > wlmParticipatingUsernames.txt* *http://toolserver.org/~platonides/sandbox/wlmParticipatingUsernames.txt* ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** -- +Nyarko Rexford <https://plus.google.com/u/0/107174506890941499078>
