Jai pô tout compris...on peut me rézumer la discussion ci-dessous ? :op
|| Since youre here Anthere, | | Yes ? | || Maybe I can axe you a couple questions... I actually || like the idea of merging ideas and such with two || winning logo desigs merging to make something better, || but Im not sure that the way whats his name has been || going about it is bordering on --well being rude and || whatnot. | | Oliezekat is his name. | We call him Kat
Its me...but I prefer to call me "Olie" :o)
| || Besides, just throwing a toony 7th place ant on a || winning (and shaping up) 1st place logo, only makes || the ant look like something we should stomp on. | | I see that people feel that way. But the ant escaped | me a long time ago. | I don't know what toony means. It is not in the | dictionnary. | || But I also like the ant as a concept animal -- for a || mascot probably even more than I like the Wikipede -- || which was a clever play on the wikipedia name, but || doesnt necessarily mean anything internationally. I || mention on the Wikipedie bio that the only reason he || looks cute at all is because he only has six || appendages instead of a hundred. In that silly sense, || the Wikipedia is less of a centipede than it is an | ant || anyway. | | I like your wikipede very much. I have no problem | finding cute a animal with 100 appendages :-) (in | truth, it is rather about 30 I think). | I think both could be mascot, but I also think both | would not be great mascots, because both animals are | insects, and insects tend not to be liked by many | people. I know the ant is a bit scarry to some people | (I think Angela mentionned it) and probably the | wikipede as well. Very few insects are well perceived. | | I do not feel entirely favorable in truth, to a mascot | idea. I do not need that to focus on the concept :) | A great idea imho, is the blown dandelion fruit, used | on our dictionnaries, representing the dispersion of | the seeds of knowledge. | | Flowers carry concepts very well. Even cactii :-) | || But what I really want to know --this sort of cheezy || way of trying to curvumvent the voting process on the || mascot--- Is this just a case of 'pushy French || attitude' ;) or am I missing something? | | Cheezy ? Lol. | Our cheese are culturally different Steve. | | It would be best not to generalize I think. | Unless you want me to pick up one american wikipedian | to generalize a specific type of widely-considered | typical american attitude. | | Perhaps, two people are not enough to make hasty | generalization over a whole population. And perhaps | also, here, only pushy people may survive and get | somewhere. | | But, yeah, that is pushy :-) I agree. | | See the bright side of him : a strong desire of | involvement. A willingness to strengthen communities | ties. Enthousiam ! | | Usually americans are the pushy ones, french more | attentists and diplomatic. Perhaps here, the french | are the pushy ones, and unable to be diplomatic. | Though, on that whole matter, I think more than one | person lost hir diplomacy. | | I don't like spoiling fun others are having. Users | will choose in the end. And being neither diplomatic | nor ambassador, it is not mine to say things :-) | | What would you suggest doing Steve ? | || Culturally illiterate, || -S- | | So do I
I agree that logo (or variant) with Miwiki will probably closed mascot contest...But all wikipedian are not stupid, and they understand that Miwiki is firstly a mascot project. Let and respect final voting !!! :o|
I'm unhappy that some persons believe (say and write) that Miwiki is only a french project... In my pages, I just wanted to say that it is a project which started on french wikipedia. But its not ONLY french project ! I really want to work in according of everybody :o)
And remember you ; I send some announces (in english...sorry, I dont know another langages) on several wikipedia (english, deutch, espagnol, italiano, etc) on their "Village pump" to organize group-working for logo variant with Miwiki...But deutch wikipedia (and another) deleted it less than one hour after I wrote it :o(
...It is a great lesson of community spirit !!!! :o| But I keep hope...Espagnol, english, and french wikipedia keep (and translate) my announce :o)
Please for everybody : stop to spend time of logos authors and disturb us...Wikipedians will choose the best for all in the end :op -- Olie ze kat --------- http://www.olid.fr.st
