By accident, I typed http://www.wikisource.com/ and achieved an undesirable result. This is presumably a very minor configuration issue somewhere. --Jimbo

Easytimeline is back and runs UTF-8 extended ASCII (caveat)
by Erik Zachte 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

After two weeks finally the problems have been solved. Thanks again to those who helped out. EasyTimeline can now be run on UTF-8 sites, but only displays the extended ASCII character set so far. Full unicode support using external fonts will come later this year. Also annoyingly the internal font used by Ploticus (which does the rendering) misses a few common accented characters, like è. These will be replaced by unaccented chars for the time being. Erik Zachte

Problem of namespace (I think it's that)

Hello, OK, I've set my first wiki up. And almost everything's OK. The only matter is with titles and standard textes. I got the titles first set up and then would have changed them, but it doesn't appear to change for real, even if I change the languagefr file (yes, I'm a French-speaker). On the French mailing-list, I was told to try that kind of thing : http://www.cpacon.com/~jaafir/atlasocarihos/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Allm To go to the namespace and change there everything. But it says that is file is unknown on the server. I don't want to have the "free encyclopedia" title on my website and would like to change the site's main title. What coud I do? Fred

new upload form

The Bostonians nearly threw my tea in the harbor about the new upload form. :-) When do we expect it to go live? --Jimbo ----- Forwarded message from Michael Snow <wikipedia(a)earthlink.net> ----- From: Michael Snow <wikipedia(a)earthlink.net> Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 22:00:22 -0700 To: wikipedia-l(a)Wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Re: [bhorrocks(a)npg.org.uk: National Portrait Gallery images on Wikipedia website] All the more reason for us to get the new upload form up and running, so that people have to say what the source for an image is up front, instead of us chasing them down after the fact to find out where they got it.

sk clarification
by Stanislav Valasek 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Hello wikipedians, we are just reviewing slovak translation and I will ask you for upload probably after two weeks. Up to that time, we have following clarification: - Where can be set field 'sitesupport' => 'Donations', # Set a URL in $wgSiteSupportPage in LocalSettings.php - was not able to find this file. - Thanks for patience :-) - and maybe one curious question: why page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LanguageSk.php is broken immediatelly after line ""fa" => " fársí ..." and only in Mozilla Firefox (now using version 0.9.2, WinXP, reproduced also on other PC). IE shows this fine. All character after that line are messed up. Should I report a bug or post a question to Firefox? Thank you and lot of fun with wiki -- Stanislav Valasek ____________________________________ http://www.logofun.pobox.sk - urobte radost svojmu telefonu

Month abbreviations in LanguageCs.php - reaction to Ray Saintonge
by Vít Zvánovec 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Dear colleague, you have written: > However copious the examples, and whatever the current practice, it is > not accurate to say that these abbreviations do not exist. I do have > the book "Anglo-American Cataloging Rules" (for libraries) which lists > these for several languages, including Czech. Could you be more precise? What does this book exactly say about Czech language? It is true that you can find this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF- 8&q=Kv%C4%9B&btnG=Search. But if you look at this carefully, these examples are *computer* lists. Czech orthographic standard says this: "Např. Smetana se narodil r. 1824 v Litomyšli. - V Praze 17. listopadu 1989; viz Jungmannův Slovník V, 113 = Jungmannův Slovník, díl V, strana 113; § 9 odst. 2 písm. a) zákona č. 87/1991 Sb.; Praha 4-Nusle, Za Zelenou liškou 17; pošta Praha 36 apod. Jestliže se v datu označuje den a měsíc jen číslicemi, píše se za nimi tečka: 8. 5. 1945 nebo 8. V. 1945; je-li však den a měsíc psán pomocí lomítka, tečky za číslicemi se nepíšou: 8/5 1945 nebo 8/V 1945." http://www.pravidla.cz/vice.php?cose=6 In my view Wikipedia should respect native speakers. Is petition of Czech Wikipedians to change in LanguageCs.php 'jan' => "1.", 'feb' => "2.", 'mar' => "3.", 'apr' => "4.", 'may' => "5.", 'jun' => "6.", 'jul' => "7.", 'aug' => "8.", 'sep' => "9.", 'oct' => "10.", 'nov' => "11.", 'dec' => "12.", really needed? Yours truly, Vít Zvánovec

I thought we *want* those pages to be recorded in the link tables. Isn't that what makes "What links here" and especially "Related Changes" work for categories? Timwi
