Organiser edit

CN Banner edit

I don't know how it is organized (or who takes care of the banner) but the 2018 translation chaos (asking me to do the copypaste) could have been avoided by use of Translate Extensions. Translation extension allows the translators to use familiar Translate extension and CN admin just need to click "(Publish, approve, or something like that)" to make it into the system. There were changes in how CentralNotice operates (Meta:Babel/Archives/2018-11#Changes to CentralNotice Access and the new "CentralAdmin-only protection") so it might be worth considering migrating for the future. — regards, Revi 09:28, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

WAM 2019 banner on central notice edit

Hi! I was one of the organizers of WAM on Spanish Wikipedia in 2017 and 2018, and again this year. I have a question about the central notice. Should we apply for it or will there be a common application for all languages participating? Another question is about the tool for evaluation, and this is the same question. Should we ask for it? Thanks! Millars (talk) 22:08, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Expand and update articles edit

We suggested from German Wikipedia to give points for updating and expanding articles, because there is a big need for suc work, even more than for new articles. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 21:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

@J. Patrick Fischer: Unfortunately This year we don't have any input in Article Expansion. If the community wishes to have it's own prize it can have it on its own. WAM has prize for just new Article creation this year. Maybe next year as the Fountain Tool gets updated we can have this possible. Thank you for understanding. --Tiven2240 (talk) 14:53, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia Asian Month 2019 in Bashkir Wikipedia edit

We have been participating in the marathon since 2015 and we have many stub articles. According to the rules of the marathon, only new articles participate in the competition. But we would like to improve the existing stub articles. Let us know if you will consider improved articles? --ZUFAr (talk) 18:18, 12 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

The marathon is big enough, as it is. I recommend staying in this format. We can work all year round with our stubs and hitting local competetions as well. Therefore, stay in this format! It is perfect, as it is! Amici sumus, Deryni (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

A Wikipedia-wide banner announcing the start of the Asian Month? edit

Last year there was a banner visible throughout all Wikipedia language versions announcing the start of the Asian Month. @Seddon (WMF): would you be willing to recreate a banner again (just the same one as last year, because the logo hasn't changed, but with "2019" instead of "2018")? Thanks --Furfur (talk) 07:41, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Walter Grassroot: Hi, I am the chief of WAM 2019. This year we already decided which affiliate is our Postcard/Supporting affiliate. Many thanks for your kind offer. Li-Yun Lin (talk) 16:53, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Li-Yun Lin and Tiven2240:, Would I read the conference summary for your internal discussion because no one was informed about the exact community for the affiliate. Walter Grassroot (talk) 06:57, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Walter Grassroot: Sorry, you are not a member of the international team so it's impossible for me to let you read the summary of the discussion we had. I, as the chief of WAM, in here reject your request. Li-Yun Lin (talk) 07:29, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Already, I got the point, you have highlighted your leadership twice, and I have acknowledged the hostility from your Taiwanese community. Thanks and good luck. Walter Grassroot (talk) 07:33, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Regarding WAM2019 knwiki homepage edit

@Lokesha kunchadka: Hello Lokesha, I hope you are doing well. Haven't you yet set up local homepage for your community? We are setting up the central banner. Will you please provide the exact link of the homepage? The one you have input on WAM2019 is not working. I am looking forward to hear from you.

Redirect article edit

de:Tal (Maske) was just a redirect before. Same problem would be translations, when the version history is imported. Could you change the tool like in te last years to accept such articles? We, the jurors, would check the creating date. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 16:15, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

@J. Patrick Fischer: The tool administrator Le loy would assist you better than us. Do message him on his talkpage. Thank you --Tiven2240 (talk) 07:12, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
I thought, he is reading here, too. ;-) --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 09:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Ле Лой: The same problem with lv:Čiba. --Papuass (talk) 12:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
The solution could be allowing Jurors to add articles which violate rules, if technical solution is too complex. --Papuass (talk) 12:17, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Using wikidata to analyse submissions edit

I really like the stats page from 2017. Are there any expertise involved who might be able to use Wikidata to organise submissions by theme (e.g. biographies, places, events, etc) or for the biographies some stats about dates of birth, places etc? T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 04:10, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

The data we used was from the Fountain Tool. Maybe wikidata can help. An expert in Wikidata may assist. Thank you --Tiven2240 (talk) 17:08, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

New article in Waray Wikipedia as entry to the 2019 Wikipedia Asian Month edit

Good day! I just created a new article in the Waray Wikipedia (here) and I wish to send it as entry for the 2019 Wikipedia Asian Month. But I found out that the Fountain tool only accepts new articles in the English Wikipedia. I would like to ask if the Wikipedia Asian Month only allows new (Asian-topic) articles in the English language or if it could accept entries from other languages. Thanks! —Nairb.Idi9 (talk)

@Nairb.Idi9: There seems some issues with the tool. It will be fixed soon. Stay tuned. --Tiven2240 (talk) 17:03, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Tiven2240: I surely will. Thanks! —Nairb.Idi9 (talk)
