Help with proofreading (Italian)
by Sabine Cretella 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hi I am searching for an Italian mothertognue who could proofread an article I translated on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WQ/2/Founder/It It is part of the newsletter. I am German and translating from one foreign language into the other is not too easy ;-) so sorry for some of those horrible errors ... Besides that: the newsletter is not published very often and so it should be quite easy to translate and proofread it if we are in many. Is there a way to create a group of people interested in translating/proofreading the newsletter into Italian? Please contact me - if we organise things well no-one of us will have to work much and we will have great results. Ciao and thank you!!!

It can run for all words and it can work for a particular word. There is no feature that will stop it after X words (as far as I know) or you press the Cntrl Break key. As to it being an "unofficial" bot, there is no such thing. People are given the right to run a bot and after that it is up to them what they do, because they do not need to ask permission after a change in the code. So I have run it and RobotGMwikt is an official bot now on nl: fr: and it: As to the English wiktionary, I promissed that I would inform when I had a new functionality in a bot. And give a week before I run it when I run it. This is exceptional, nobody else does this. As to testing, the pywikipedia bot is a sourceforge project and, it is used for several purposes for more than a year. It is a well designed piece of software that for instance only changes once a minute in order not to burden the servers too much. The current functionality was first tested by the developper and, it has run for more than two days and I am quite happy with the results.

Happy

Hoi, I am happy to inform you that the nl:wiktionary knows 250 languages and that we have 1000 Dutch ponunciations in Commons. The bot that adds interwikilinks to the nl:wiktionary runs now for the second day. I am also running it for the it:wiktionary and the fr:wiktionary. It is great when you can link to other wiktionaries and compare the content. Without cooperation it is a lot more hard work and not as rewarding. Thanks, Gerard

pywikipediabot

Hoi, Andre Engels wrote some further extensions to the pywikipedia bot. It allows you to update the interlanguage links. The way it works is by distinguishing between the wiktionaries that DO capitalise and the ones that do not. When a word exists that is capitalised, it will look for capitalised words only and look for a match. When a wiktionary only has capitalised words, it will not look for the uncapitalised words in that wiktionary. When you use the software, the file user-config.py contains three lines that contain in my case: mylang = "nl" family = "wiktionary" username = "RobotGMwikt" The software is used from a prompt: in windows "cmd" You login using the login.py program; it tells you the user it will be using and you will have to provide a password. Then you run the program by typing interwiki.py -wiktionary -start:! This will do try to find all links in all wiktionaries (bigger than 100 words) from the first onwards. When it finds words with an exact match it will create an interwiki link. It will only update one article a minute in order not to be too big a burden on the database. I am running it for the nl:wiktionary as I write this. It has updated 59 articles so far and the last one is Arnavutluk a Turkish word. It should run (as a bot) every now and then on all wiktionaries. To make clear that a word that is written inexactly the same way in other wiktionaries. If you want the software, it can be found on Sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot/ or you can ask me to send you the ZIP file Andre send me. Thanks, GerardM
