Hi! On the czech (cs:) Wikipedia, we still have the original english logo. On meta:Requests for logos, I have added the request that we are ready to switch the logo, but there is still no reply (after a month). So I am trying to catch someone's attention here -- could you help to change the logo? Thanks, Mormegil

Speaking of which, there is a list of logos that need to be updated here: meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Non-development_tasks_for_developers --node On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 10:19:53 +0200, Petr Kadlec <petr.kadlec(a)gmail.com> wrote:

For some weird and wonderful reason most or all of these logos are rendered "too high" in Safari (http://www.apple.com/safari), ie. the top bit of the picture is cut off. I don't have that problem with other WP logos such as en. This suggests to me that you must have done something differently. (I also don't have that problem on the below WPs when using MSIE:mac (www.microsoft.com/mac/ie), but my assumption about you probably having done something differently from other WPs still stands.) -- ropers [[en:User:Ropers]] www.ropersonline.com

Ooh. I asked Nohat about that, we'll see what's wrong; seeing as all those Wikipedias now have the ability for sysops to update the logos themselves, once I fix them it'll probably be a lot easier. --node On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 22:18:05 +0200, Jens Ropers <ropers(a)ropersonline.com> wrote:

Thanks! For some reason, though, the zh-min-nan logo still appears as English. I tried dumping old browser cache. Could this be related to the fact that zh-min-nan also doesn't show up on http://download.wikimedia.org?

Hello, I made a typo when adding the logo for zh_min_nan . It's corrected now :o) -- Ashar Voultoiz

Hmmm...maybe I don't understand what has been done...Should this mean that these Wikipedias have now their localized logos? If yes, 1. why isn't cs: among them? 2. I don't think it works (e.g. sk: seems to still have the old logo, randomly chosen az: seems that the logo displays correctly only in articles, but the main page still uses the english logo). Or, was this only some kind of preliminary work? (Like uploading the localized PNG file to the Wikipedias -- that has already been done on cs: [[cs:Image:Wiki.png]].) Mormegil

Cs: wasn't in the list on meta so I didn't update it. It's now working. For sk and az : clear your browser cache or wait for squids to refresh themselves. -- Ashar Voultoiz

Well, it was on the [[Requests for logos]] list, that was the only list I knew about ;-) Many thanks, it works perfectly now!

Thanks for the Lojban logo - but it should be "la uikipedias po'u le zifre vricyjuncku"; without "la" it isn't grammatical. (Of course other things on the Lojban Wikipedia aren't grammatical either, such as an abbreviated date in a sentence; I should be a developer, if I had the time.) phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa

Thanks for the Lojban logo - but it should be "la uikipedias po'u le

zifre

vricyjuncku"; without "la" it isn't grammatical. (Of course other

things on

the Lojban Wikipedia aren't grammatical either, such as an abbreviated

date

in a sentence; I should be a developer, if I had the time.)

Shouldn't it be "la uikipedias." even, with a dot behind the name? - André

Dot before, too; but the dots aren't necessary. And all caps is fine for headlines and such, at least to me. phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
