New wikipedia?
by Andrew Gray 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hi all. We have a domain reserved for Luganda (Lugandan?) at lg.wikipedia.org. It currently has no content, although it is open for editing. Someone left a question on the en:wiki Help Desk about translating articles into Luganda; I pointed them towards that site. However, it's pretty much completely empty other than the main page, which I can see being pretty daunting for a new user. Is there anything on meta: intended to act as a "so, you're starting on an empty project" guide? (Anyone who wants to leave other advice on the HD page, please do) -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk

Hi all, I would like to ask for everybody's opinions on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Problems_with_server-side_Chinese_to_Chinese… It includes examples, such as how "Queen Sonja" ends up being converted as "After King Sonja". Mark -- SI HOC LEGERE SCIS NIMIVM ERVDITIONIS HABES QVANTVM MATERIAE MATERIETVR MARMOTA MONAX SI MARMOTA MONAX MATERIAM POSSIT MATERIARI ESTNE VOLVMEN IN TOGA AN SOLVM TIBI LIBET ME VIDERE

How to handel violation against GFDL
by Ting Chen 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hello Folks, in the chinese Wikipedia we have at the moment the following problem: One of the major chinese webhoster (Sohu) had adapted parts of articles from the chinese Wikipedia, without to mention that the parts are from Wikipedia and without to mention that they are under GFDL. Contrary they places under those articles their own standard copyright claim. We have now wrote an e-mail to them to claim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Standard_GFDL_violation_letter with a chinese translation), but our experience is that they would just ignore us. So how should we handel this? Regards Ting. -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse f�r Mail, Message, More +++

Re: Fwd: [Wikinews-l] Licensure straw poll

Just a question, to reflect some possible misunderstanding. According to the poll proposition, it seems that only wikinewsies are allowed to participate to the poll. Is that so ? I am not sure as it seems it would not be advertised on wikipedia mailing list if it was the case. But the poll is mentionning wikinewsies only. Can you clarify this point ? Thanks Anthere
