Hi everyone!
The 4th annual WikiWomen's History Month is in March, coinciding with
Women's History Month. This event is cross-cultural, international, and
multi-lingual.
Please start planning your events (offline and online) to contribute
content to Wiktionary, Wikipedia and related Wikimedia websites about
women's history! You can post your events and find resources on how to
implement edit-a-thons and workshops here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen's_History_Month
Any questions just let me know!
I look forward to your participation!

Hi all,
About Wiktionary and Wikidata, Hartz proposed at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Wiktionary#First_and_second_pha…
to "be pragmatic and just import the interwiki links". I agree.
I suggested in the same page that we could have items for Wiktionary where sitelinks would use the label of the item for the sitelink-titles. Is this feasible? I'm not highly knowledgeable about Wikidata, but I suppose this kind of modification shouldn't be too difficult.
What do you think? Please come discuss this matter in the link above.
Have a good day,
Darkdadaah @ fr.wiktionary
Hello Wiktionarians,
A bug was reopened to "allow collation to be specified per category" in Wiktionary (all languages are concerned).This would be a much better solution than to create sort keys in every article and for every language.
Please vote for this bug to express your interest in this much needed feature: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28397
Cheers,
Darkdadaah, fr.wiktionary
Hello,
First, congratulation for all the already achieved great work on the
wikidata project.
Now I would be interested to know more about future development,
especially on interactions with wiktionaries.
I think wikidata could help to improve wiktionaries drastically, by
unifying not only interlangs links, but also definitions and
translations.
More accurately what I mean is that currently you often have, attached
to one wiki article you have usually several definitions for each
language where the word is used. But often when I seek a non-french word
in the french wiktionary, looking at the native wiktionary will bring
more definition than what you can find on the french article.
I saw that on the english wiktionary, the interface added a "quick add"
feature, which ask user to fill translation for each meaning. That's
great and I wish it would be added in all chapters. And I think that we
could add even more "hey, what about translating just this little thing"
feature across all dictionary by centralizing entries, so that each
"word" is associated with one or several meaning by language. Then all
meanings could be redistributed to all wiktionnaries, even when no
translation is available for a given meaning in the local chapter. In
this cas we could have an information box that would say "this word have
an other meaning which wasn't yet translated in ${local_language}, if
you one of the language in which a translation is available, please help
us to improve the wiktionary".
What do think about such a project, could it work with wikidata?
kind regards,
mathieu
Dear Quentinv57,
The main goal of the survey is to gather more insight in possible cultural differences for the use of Wikipedia. Earlier studies already looked at the motives for Wikipedia use, but never looked at it from a cultural point of view. This is wat our study tries to achieve.
My colleague contacted the research bord of Wikipedia via de link on Wikipedia, I will ask her the name of the people she spoke with.
I hope that you now have a more clear view of what this study is trying to research!
If you have any more questions, please feel free contact me.
Regards,
Nick Geurts

Hello. May we know what this survey aims at, and what you will do with
the data ?
We did not get any mail from Wikimedia staff about that by the way. Who
did you contacted ?
Best regards,

Ceci étant la liste de la Wikipédie française, pourquoi le message est-il exclusivement en anglais ? Il aurait fallu au minimum en faire une traduction automatique.

Bonjour à tous,
Suite aux divergences de point de vue entre les bureaucrates du fr.wiktionary, il est urgent d'inscrire noir sur blanc les règles régissant les votes et prises de décision importantes.
Un bureaucrate sans règles c'est comme un juge sans code pénal : il passera toujours pour un tyran.
J'ai lancé une discussion sur la Wikidémie. Discutons point par point si nécessaire. Nous voterons plus tard ;-) sur une proposition davantage consensuelle.

Merci à vous.
