Hi! I was told by User:Str4nd that I could contact you with a question about Agreement between chapters and Wikimedia Foundation.I'm the chair of Wikimedia Suomi/Wikimedia Finland and I would need to sign that agreement. Do you know if there is a PDF-version available of the document and who should I send it to once I have signed the agreement. Regards, Samulili 15:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

I'm not sure who to contact about this, actually – try asking Chapcom or Erik. Cbrown1023 talk 13:56, 12 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Casey, please, fix next messages:

• MediaWiki:Centralnotice-EM1Notice-donate-text3/ru 'Да Здравствует' -> 'Да здравствует'
• MediaWiki:Centralnotice-2009 Notice1-donate-text1/ru 'Да Здравствует' -> 'Да здравствует'

Hi! I understand that the slogans are lowercased, but this creates some misspelling in Turkish. Fundraising 2009/core messages/tr is still uppercase but the slogans published on Vikipedi are lowercase, so I assume this change is done somewhere else. How can we correct the mistakes in lowercasing? Would it be enough if I lowercase the slogans in Fundraising 2009/core messages/tr and it is then re-published? Or I may give you a list of correctly spelled slogans? İyivikiler... homonihilis // ileti 10:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Yes, please adjust them on that page if there are any issues. In a perfect world we would have updated that page, but there's been so many tweaks to the messages that there's been no time. :-( Cbrown1023 talk 21:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Posted at AZ about it earlier today (CET), but this one should probably be fixed as well - "probably" pending if it is used somewhere after a dot - if not it should definitely be all lowercase. Finn Rindahl 17:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

If they should be lower case then why they weren't lower case in the translation page? --Geraki ^T _L 22:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Done. They weren't lowercase on the translation page because we ended up lowercasing them all after we launched and then "un-launched". People really didn't like the capitalization so we get rid of it. Cbrown1023 talk 22:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

It's not simple for all languages :-) (in greek we never use punctuation in all-uppercase texts).

There is still some banner with "Για Παντα" text (no punctuation).

The bannner from el.wikipedia leads to the english donation page, although there is a greek one. What should be done?

That's because you're in France and get sent to the WMFR chapter page. If you weren't in France, you'd get to sent to the Esperanto page. If you had an American IP (i.e. 74.103.170.47, you'd get sent to the eo page properly. Cbrown1023 talk 13:38, 14 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

I appologize. There seems to be a problem with user:Drork who reverted my changes not in accordence to clear consensus on he.wikipedia.

Thanks, Yonidebest 18:02, 14 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

These slogans have already been published. It is not the best practice to change a campaign's slogans after publishing them, even if they are not perfect. The translations were made by at least three native HE speakers who live in Israel. They were criticized on he-wp, but without a decisive suggestion for an alternative. I think it is irresponsible for anyone to introduce a change "out of the sleeve". Dror_K 18:14, 14 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Hi there! I saw that you recreated this MediaWiki page. I deleted it per the talk page request see Barras 13:09, 18 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

This is the reason that people aren't supposed to comment on random MediaWiki talk pages... the messages don't get seen and are all spread out. Toliño needs to update Fundraising 2009/core messages/gl with the proper text. It would also never say "A Meta" in a CentralNotice... which is another reason why looking at the MediaWiki messages themselves are bad. When the notice is displayed on Wikipedia, it will look like this. Cbrown1023 talk 23:02, 18 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Hi Casey. I want to ask you when the core messages for fundraiser 2009 for hsb and dsb will complete. Centralnotice works for both languages but only the text. The links to wikimediafoundation.org are not correct. For Upper Sorbian WP a link target is used that doesn't exist and Lower Sorbian is using does exist. But with some English words. For dsb such a WMF page doesn't exist, it is used, as already said, the German page instead. Dsb is not marked as published yet, although I've already marked it as ready on 2009年11月15日. But the centralnotice works for dsb as well. The strings for the Donation extension have been translated on translatewiki.net for both languages. Kind regards, --Michawiki 10:43, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

First of all, sorry for the delay. I'm glad to hear that the CentralNotice works fine for both languages — that was our first priority for all languages (it would be horrible to have you translate everything and then confront visitors to your wiki with English banners on all pages). I just published dsb, so everything should be good there. Hmm, the hsb issue was strange but should be fixed now. About the English words, we're going to create a new request for the phrases that were missing when things settle down.

Finally, about the Global Support page, that's because you live in Germany (or at least have a German IP) and get sent to the Wikimedia Germany page. For me, the page links correctly to hsb.

I hope this helps and sorry again for the delay! Cbrown1023 talk 23:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

Though translation request for these is closed, I see some of it being used in this year's fundraising and both, "alternative form" and wmf:Annetused, link to last year's pages.

Hi Casey!

I didn't participate the fundraising translation this year so I am a bit uninformed. There is an incorrect message on huwiki and I don't find it here :)

The incorrect message is „A Wikipédiára ott van, amikor szükséged van rá – most neki van szüksége rád." The correct would be „A Wikipédiára számíthatsz, amikor szükséged van rá – most neki van szüksége rád." as you can find it on Fundraising 2008/core messages/hu page (4. sentence).

Hi Cbrown,

Is there any way the translated banner could be already published on the Esperanto Wikipedia, even though the core text hasn't been translated ? Unfortunately I have neither the time nor the competence to translate the whole thing, and I'm afraid there's no other volunteer for the moment. That big English banner is actually quite disruptive on our main page, and it would look much better in Esperanto.

Hehe, no problem at all. Thanks for translating! :-) Cbrown1023 talk 23:54, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Reply

noticed that you Undo the addition of the class=Persian instead of class=rtl, there is no class in Arabic which reads from right to left, this was provided in class=Persian. The use of class=rtl add more difficulty in reading and Cause overlapping paragraphs especially when you add another language that reads from left to right.Peadara 15:52, 11 January 2010 (UTC) Reply

I'm the one who maintains the persian and rtl classes. We used to use "class=persian" for every rtl language (because that's how it was originally coded), but now we've added a "class=rtl" that does the exact same thing as "class=persian". If it doesn't do the exact same thing, could you tell me what the issues are so that I can fix them? We should be using "class=persian" less and "class=rtl" more, since this one's more general.
