1. I notice that whenever one uses an accent in a Category, it puts it all out of order. For instance, if I wish to write Àfrica in the Category - it ends up after Z rather than amongst the As - is there a trick to fixing that up?
2. Is there a wikipedia for Tetum, the official language of the newest member of the United Nations, East Timor?

Hello all,
I know these "Wikipedia in the press" things can get a bit annoying -
it's no longer surprising that people take notice of us - but I just
thought this was a bit out of the usual. The satirical geek webcomic
User Friendly is today about the oft-mooted (but apparently recently
newsworthy) Paper Wikipedia...

Hi all,
1. Why is it that {{{NUMARTICLES}}} in ceb-wp's main
page gives inconsistent results between sessions?
Yesterday our article count was already up to 600+,
but last time I check (just now, before I hit the Send
button) it's down to 400+?
2. Are the date entries (i.e. [[Enero 1]]) acceptable
for the "This wikipedia is with 1,000 articles"? If
yes, then ceb-wp is nearing 1,000 pages (698 on last
count) but 365 of them are day's entries. ;) 4 months
in operation and no bots ;)
3. Finally, who is really in charge of making admins
on new wp's? I submitted my application (for adminship
on ceb-wp) last Sept. 27, 2005, but I was passed over
by Yann who made admins on Oct. 9. I really want to
change the interface into Cebuano, esp. that I have
just finished translating the Google interface into
our language.
Daghang salamat! (That's how we say thank you!)

A general question. There's discussion about this between the Dutch
sysops. One person has unblocked some addresses, I have done the same
before. Others get angry about that because we did not discuss our
action with the sysop who did the blocking before we unblocked. They
say it shows that we distrust the sysop who did the blocking

It's a sad fact, but the [[:udm:]] has the old problem about
{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} variable. Anyone can see that it malfunctions.
If anybody knows how the problem is usually solved, do help!
The other problem about the Udmurt wikipedia is that it's been created
based on English language file, while it'd be better to use the
Russian file (and this consideration hass been in the request). Most
of Udmurts do understand Russian better than English, and they could
feel themselves easiere at [[:udm:]], while its interface is not yet
translated into the Udmurt.

Hello,
as you know at the moment Wikipedia is stil blocked from the china mainland
gouvement. But this is probably not their only measure against the
WikiMedia-projects.
Please take a look at the following site:
http://www.wikicn.com/wiki/%E9%A6%96%E9%A1%B5
This site is named as Wiki China and is hosted from some chinese companies.
They call themselve the first chinese wiki encyclopedia and had (machine)
copied over tens of thousands of articles from the chinese Wikipedia site,
without mentioning their source, and without any hint of GFDL. Most articles
has stil the interwiki-links in them, natuarally without any other language
provided from this site. Further more they have cencored most of the
sensitive articles, which could probably be the reason of the blocking.
Is there any possibility from the board to take any action? A mention of the
source and GFDL is in my oppinion the fundamental action, which they should
take.
Greetings
Ting ([[:en:User:Philopp]] [[:de:User:Wing]] [[:zh:User:Wing]]
