We currently have the e-mail set up for Wikiquote's OTRS system.
<Cbrown1023> jw, did anything come about with the
info(a)wikiquote.org ?
<bastique> ah
<bastique> I believe that email is working
<Cbrown1023> so we can ask those who would like to be on the queue
to either speak to you (if they already have accounts) or go to
OTRS/volunteering if they are not?
<bastique> indeed
<Cbrown1023> thanks :)
* Cbrown1023 is sad he can't be on it, though!
<bastique> Actually
<bastique> it should be info-en(a)wikiquote.org
<bastique> because the other one is going to get a lot of spam
<Cbrown1023> okay, you sure? because originally you said info
first and then language splits later...
<bastique> That's before I saw emails coming in for
info(a)wikiquote.orgbefore we published the address
<Cbrown1023> lol
<Cbrown1023> that's very interesting actually :)
<Cbrown1023> so.... all e-mails would go to wikiquote-en even ones
in other languages?
<Cbrown1023> or do we need more than one queue for WQ...
<bastique> well, for now, info-en for english and the other for other
languages
<bastique> The other wouldn't be published yet
Okay then... if you want to help us (we don't need that many people, but we
could always use some!):
* and you already have OTRS access... then go bug bastique to give you
access (bastique(a)wikimedia.org or Bastique or some form of cary on IRC
(normally #wikimedia-channles and many other channels)
* and you do not have access... set a request on [[meta:OTRS/volunteering]].
Thanks!

P.S. On a related note, I propose that either Aphaia or Drini or both run
the queue.

Just a thought...
There is this press release currently pending:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Press_releases/May_2007
I just realised there were no links to the other projects (it should).
But aside from this... when a famous politician (for example) make a big
speech, and get quoted everywhere for a really buzz sentence, could we
somehow generate some attention for wikiquote and wikinews ? I do not
think we could make a press release for this but...
Another example. Let us say there is a presidential election... thanks
to the election, Wikimedia France collected a huge amount of pictures
from all the candidates.
Now, let us say that immediately after the elections, Wikimedia France
publishes a press release to announce that
1) we collected huge amounts of images during and immediately after the
elections
2) and that we have a fabulous set of information about the new president

Subject: [Foundation-l] Wikiquote, the free compendium of quotations,reaches
10, 000 articles in the English edition
Hello there,
English Wikiquote reaches today 10,000 articles. Here is a part of
our press release ...
----
7 May, 2007 (St. Petersburg, Fl) - The Wikimedia Foundation announced
today the creation of the 10,000th article in the English language
edition of Wikiquote (http://www.wikiquote.org), a community-built
multilingual compendium of quotations. The article is for quotes by or
about Langdon Smith (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Langdon_Smith), and
it was started by the Wikiquote contributor whose username is Kalki.
The Wikiquote project itself is going to celebrate its four-year
anniversary on June 27. The Wikiquote in the English language edition
is the biggest and oldest among all Wikiquote language editions. But
the growth is not limited to the English version, as more than 50,000
articles are now being worked on in the non-English editions of
Wikiquote in over 35 languages. As of yet, thirteen projects including
English Wikiquote have more than 1,000 articles: top 5 are English,
German, Polish, Italian and Slovak.
The scope of Wikiquote collection is from notable people like Tony
Blair to creative works like Lord of the Rings or Latter Days in every
language, including sources (where known) and translations of
non-English quotes as Rainer Maria Rilke. Besides articles by source,
Wikiquote also provides its readers articles by theme.
[...]
Since 2004, the English Wikiquote provides a good quotation for
readers every day selected from its collection. It is available on its
Main Page and also archives.

>From foundation-l about vulnerable password and its danger;
I expect most of us have much stronger password, but it is worthy to note ...

[also sent to wikipedia-l]
For those who haven't yet heard, someone has been hitting en.wikipedia
with what appears to be an attack looking for admins with weak
passwords - "password", "password1", "[username]", etc. Then they go
on a predictable spree; deleting the main page, mostly. I think we're
down four so far...
It's possible someone might try this in the near future on other wikis
- a lot of vandals tend to only go for en, but you never know, this
one might be feeling multicultural!
This might be a good time to spread the word and ask your admins to
consider checking their passwords are good and secure - after all,
it's good practice anyway.

* habent enim emolumentum in labore suo *
Hello,
English Wikiquote has been recently revising / officializing its
policies. In this week some old conventions are confirmed as official
policy, or a new requirement was added.
Major changes are as following:
* Administrators are now required to be reachable by email. Further
information is found on WQ:RFA.
* Votes for deletion/Log, Image use policy and Blocking policy are now official.
* Wikiquote:Username policy is also now official.
As for mail requirement, if you are an EnWQ admin and not to confirm
your wikimail, please do it right now :)
As for new policies, the biggest impact may be given by "Image use
policy". English Wikiquote disabled its uploader years before, so it
is not practically change. However we confirm happily now the English
Wikiquote says "no fair use media, go Commons" officially. English
Wikiquote community is now orphaning remaining fair use images and
listing them on Votes for deletion.
Policy revisions are still being discussed on Village pump and
[[en:Wikiquote talk:WikiProject Policy Revision]]
