References

[edit]

Only 1 reference is from someone not involved in translatewiki or Wikimedia (or a project being translated there), as far as I can tell. πr2 (tc) 03:29, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2, to be precise. Ah, you're excluding projects being translated there, what sense does it make? --Nemo 11:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, only 1 seemed to be unconnected to the subject. You can count the Mifos one as unconnected if you want, but it's like a "customer" of the project. Are there any other references you can find? πr2 (tc) 15:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Being connected is not an issue, in my opinion: it doesn't mean having a conflict of interest, especially when the "customer" is not even a customer because the service is free (which means it can't have discounts or whatever in return for "ads"). Also in articles like Transifex, most sources are from users. Can it be any different for software? How can it software be reviewed by anyone other than its users? --Nemo 20:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Still, only two arguably third-party sources. Wikimedia and translatewiki sources are obviously connected, and wikis themselves usually aren't reliable sources. πr2 (tc) 21:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Two sources is most of what software articles usually have. :) I didn't get much help from WikiProject software pages, but I added some several more sources found on Google Scholar as suggested there. I refrained from adding several sources which only mentioned it briefly, including [1]. --Nemo 21:33, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Better now! I'll remove the source and notability tags. πr2 (tc) 21:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Owners

[edit]

Can anyone give reliable sources, who is/are the owner/s of Translatewiki? Who owns the domain translatewiki.net? Who is the corporate authority? Who pays the staff? --.js 02:29, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think there is a "corporate authority" or a paid staff? Last time I checked, a whois stated who owned the domain name. Ultimately, however, such things seem to not be deemed interesting by the sources found so far. --Nemo 14:59, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Warning template

[edit]

On [2], what passages and links or sources, specifically, look inappropriate? I can't find a single example. Is it perhaps the adjective "best" in "best case"? Maybe we could replace that with "fastest case" to reduce the appearance of a judgement? --Nemo 14:59, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
