Most of these were complete replacements with discoherent statements.
Such as "TAP IS THE ABSOLUTE DEFINITION OF THE NOUN HACKER" for Hacker.

Hello,
We are a group of Algerians contributors to Wikipedia, we would like to
create a new Wikipedia portal for the widely local spoken language in north
Africa "Derija" which is driven from various languages like Arabic, French,
Amazight, Spanish ... ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_Arabic
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darija )
The project is not influence by any political motivation, we would like to
ease the understanding of information for the people who does't speak
Arabic, French nor English in the region.
It would be interesting to point out that a similar experience has been
launched in 2008 in Egypt by creating a Wikipedia portal for the Egyptian
language with is similar to Arabic (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Arabic and
https://arz.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D…
)
the experiment is having a lot of success in Egypt, and we would
like exactly to copy the Egyptian model but our goal is to reach the
population of 5 countries "Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Mauritania".
We would like to know if it respects the terms of the Wikifondation, and
the process to follow to create the portal.
Best regards
Walid Zenad
Hi all,
My colleague, Eryk, alerted me to this thread (I'm subscribed now). I think
I can shed a little light as to what's going on with Visiting Scholars.
For a brief introduction, I'm the Community Engagement Manager with the
Wiki Education Foundation. My "official" username is User:Ryan_(Wiki_Ed)
and my volunteer account is User:Rhododendrites.
Since the Wikipedia Library is growing rapidly and Wiki Ed wanted to
dedicate time and resources to grow this program in particular, Wiki Ed
will be running Visiting Scholars in the US and Canada. But that hand-off
only just happened with the announcements this week, with five institutions
already ready to go (see posts on the Wiki Ed blog
<http://wikiedu.org/blog/2015/07/13/visiting-scholars/> and WMF blog
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/07/13/wikipedians-as-visiting-scholars/>),
so I want to try to apologize in advance for what I'm sure will be a few
hiccups/areas of confusion.
Pine, regarding why you weren't in the loop about UW: Though Jake or Alex
could probably say more definitively, it looks like the person who signed
up to supervise the position, Paul Constantine, was contacted by the OCLC
representative working with the Wikipedia Library. She wouldn't likely have
known how to find out if Wikipedians are there first. You may want to
connect with Paul, but in the future I'd be more than happy to work with
you. Since we work with so many universities at Wiki Ed, we're pretty
committed to maintaining a database of people we can talk to about this or
that at different institutions.
Then there's the implicit question of why no UW contact was listed for the
UW position. I've centralized the application process to have them go
through me rather than going directly to the institutional contacts. That
way I can do some screening, looking for the kinds of things a
non-Wikipedian would have difficulty determining. It's also because I'd
like to do more recruitment in the other direction, reaching out to
Wikipedians to apply even if there's no open position and/or having
conversations with people who want access to research materials. If I'm
managing the applications, I can better make those connections. So the
reason the contact isn't there is because I wanted to avoid the confusion
of having a second email address someone might accidentally send their
resume to. Upon reflection, it probably would be a good idea to include the
contact's name and maybe a link to their faculty/staff bio.
Sorry for the long message. If you have questions or comments about
Visiting Scholars, please send an email or leave a message on my talk page.
Thanks!
Ryan
