But then, that's my personal point of view :) > Regards, > > Erik Regards Nicolas Accédez au courrier électronique de La Poste : www.laposte.net ; 3615 LAPOSTENET (0,34/mn) ; tél : 08 92 68 13 50 (0,34/mn)

[Foundation-l] uk.wikinews.org launched
by Erik Moeller 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

As announced yesterday, I have set up http://uk.wikinews.org/ (Ukrainian) in accordance with the existing language policy and notified the interested participants. This is also the first time the optional additional process at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_language_pre-launch has been used. Related question: Should I continue announcing new Wikinews editions to foundation-l, or is it enough to post to wikinews-l? I don't want to spam the list with this. Coming up next is probably Italian. All best, Erik

No, that's not the point. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_cola Look for the titles of the article in Japanese, Chinese, Hindi and Russian. There ARE in the local script, even if Coca Cola is a trademark. This is the same for every article of every language which is not written with the Latin alphabet. BTW, there is also an article in Hebrew about Coca-Cola, but no link from en.wikipedia.org. > Ec Regards, Yann -- http://www.non-violence.org/ | Site collaboratif sur la non-violence http://www.forget-me.net/ | Alternatives sur le Net http://fr.wikipedia.org/ | Encyclopédie libre http://www.forget-me.net/pro/ | Formations et services Linux

[Foundation-l] suggestion for coming fundraising drives
by Elisabeth Bauer 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi, I yesterday answered a mail from a german donator in the last fundraising drive. He suggested to inform better about the results of the drive and what will happen with the money. I think this is a quite reasonable suggestion. Next time we should definitely publish a press release - best in several languages-, summarizing the results of the fundraising drive. putting this idea here so it doesn't get forgotten. greetings, elian

In languages written with the Latin alphabet, may be yes. But for others, at least a transcription with the local alphabet is needed. > Ciao, Sabine Cordialement, Yann > Yann Forget wrote: > >Hi, > > > >I noticed that the translations for Wikipedia, Wikimedia and Wiktionary > > are very far from complete. > > > >Please could you add translations of these important words to their > > respective pages: > >http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikipedia > >http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikimedia > >http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary > > > >Especially interesting are translations in non Latin scripts. > > > >Thanks for your help, > >Yann -- http://www.non-violence.org/ | Site collaboratif sur la non-violence http://www.forget-me.net/ | Alternatives sur le Net http://fr.wikipedia.org/ | Encyclopédie libre http://www.forget-me.net/pro/ | Formations et services Linux

[Foundation-l] Translations of Wikipedia, Wikimedia and Wiktionary
by Yann Forget 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi, I noticed that the translations for Wikipedia, Wikimedia and Wiktionary are very far from complete. Please could you add translations of these important words to their respective pages: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikipedia http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikimedia http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary Especially interesting are translations in non Latin scripts.

[Foundation-l] Intent to launch Ukrainian Wikinews
by Erik Moeller 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I will set up the Ukrainian edition of Wikinews tomorrow if there are no objections. 1) There are 9 contributor pledges. 2) 5 of these contributors have made more than 200 contributions to their Wikipedia. 3) A basic set of pages and policies has been prepared at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_language_pre-launch#Ukrainian Hopefully, the combination of these factors will contribute to a successful launch. All best, Erik
