Wiki Toronto/Richmond Hill

Hi there! I was reading the wiki meetup for Toronto page [1] and noticed that it listed you as living in Richmond Hill. That's actually where I live, but it put me under Toronto when I signed up for the group and it's too much hassle to change it. Did you move since then? I hope they host a Toronto meetup sometime, that'd be sweet. Oddly enough, I think I recognized Sonja Elen Kisa from a Livejournal group I attended once but I have no clue which... --Tyciol 06:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I truly wish a meetup will be hosted in the GTA. And yes, I'm still in RH. I.H.S.V. (talk) 02:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Local chapters are membership organizations that share the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation, support its projects and represent it (if not legally then at least morally) within a specified geographical region (country). They support the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia community by collecting (tax-deductible) donations, organizing local events and projects and spreading the word of Wikimedia, Free Content and Wiki culture." This is directly from the FAQ here. You can also see some possible projects which could be part of the project here. One of the goals of a chapter is to also create a local personalised Wikimedia portal such as already existing http://wikimedia.de/ and http://wikimedia.fr/wiki/Accueil

Wikipdia Meetup and Torontonian

Hey, Nick. Another Torontonian Wikipedian here. Have you heard of any upcoming meetup in Toronto? And What's your general idea of the Toronto media towards Wikipedia? I am not a reporter of any sort. However such information would be very useful as the Chinese Wikipedia is geering up for a general meeting in the coming summer. Please email me if you would not like to discuss here. I.H.S.V. (talk) 18:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's this page Wikipedia:Meetup/Toronto, but nothing solid's been organized yet.

The Star is cautious, but its Ideas section seems to adore us. The Globe seems neutral, not really caring unless something big happens against us news wise. I don't even know if The Sun has heard of us. I'm sure they have, just never seen them print anything.

As for TV, I've personally promoted the project on CP24's Homepage and internationally on the Toronto filmed Call for Help. George Strombolopolis of The Hour seems impartial at worse to us, but I think at least supports the project for informal information. CBC Radio has covered the Nature study results, and was fairly well-balanced in our favour.

The Chinese Wikipedia's general meeting... is that in China itself, or Canadian contributors to it? Curious how Toronto media and zh.wikipedia relate... were you wanting to know whether the meetup might be covered locally? BTW, you might want to join the meta:Wikimedia Canada club that just started its formation. We're going to try and, among many other things, organize meetups. -- user:zanimum

Image Tagging Image:Sihanouk.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sihanouk.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Matt 04:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand your question. Current wikipedia policy (and I believe it's always been this way even if it hasn't been enforced) is that all images must state who the copyright holder is. In this case it would be (most likely) the photographer or agency that took the photo. However, any information you can give about where the photo is from (where did you get it from?) will be helpful. Thanks Matt 20:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - March 2006

Project news

An independent military history peer review has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page.
The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain.
Two new task forces—dealing with warfare during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages—have been created.
An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway.
The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.

From the Coordinators

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in.

Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months.

Kirill Lok s hin, Lead Coordinator

Current proposals

Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.

King of Hongnong

I say that "King of Hongnong of Han China" doesn't make sense because the expression "King of ..." normally follows the pattern "King of X" where X is the name of the place that the king rules. However, "King of Hongnong of Han China" has two arguments for "of", making it grammatically incorrect (one could say "King of Hongnong and of Han China", but that, of course, is not the intended meaning). - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 18:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sie and hir

I believe my claim was not that they were not commonly used "enough" (whatever that means), but that the article, at present, provides absolutely no references to demonstrate that they are used at all. It is not my job to prove that they are not used (which is, of course, impossible). It is the job of the writers of the article to demonstrate that they are used, which they have so far signally failed to do. john k 12:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I thought you were saying I needed to prove my case. I've no idea whether they're used or not. I'd never heard of it until I found the wikipedia article, and I've still never come across the term in any other context. john k 10:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy

Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —A.S.

Note on adding full Eastern Orthodox Project to your watchlist

This is a note for members of the Eastern Orthodox Project: Since the project's main page has been converted to a portal-style box format, each of the boxes is actually its own page (you can see the page outside its box by clicking the 'Edit' link on any often the section boxes on the project page, which takes you to the edit page for its contents). Because of this, updates to individual box contents will not necessarily show up on editors' watchlists, if you've only got the main project page watched.

In order to keep up to date with all updates to the Project and its pages, I'd recommend adding each subpage to your watchlists. These are:

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy - The main Project page
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Intro - The introduction to the Project text, in the top box
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Scope - Goals of the project text
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Subsections - Listing of Project sub-areas
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Tasks - Main listing of pages, etc., needing work
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Templates - Listing of Project templates
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Participants - Listing of members
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Related - Listing of areas related to Project
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Notes - Notes on Project

If you add all of the above pages to your watchlist, you should be informed whenever any part of the WikiProject Eastern Christianity is edited/updated. To discuss this, please see the relavent section of the Project's talk page. —Antonios Aigyptos^talk 09:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Wikipedians

Hello Nick. I have been wondering how these Canadians keep in contact, throug email, IRC or other means. I am mostly isolated from fellow Canadians until that meeting on August 16. BTW, how Wikimedia Canada is progressing? Thanx for your concern. I.H.S.V. (talk) 04:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Other than the RL meetup, there's not really that much organized comradery among Canucks like us. I personally don't email people too often, it almost always "task oriented" chatter. I know Amigne in Vancouver has chatted with numerous Wikipedians over the phone, to get to know them better. AFAIK, he's the primary press contact these days, if the media contacts the Foundation.

Wikimedia Canada's pretty much dead. There's tons of interest, but only one or two people with the existing expertise and willingness to draft a non-profit organization charter. That's the main bump, and there's little point pursuing until we've fulfilled that.

I could investigate setting up an IRC forum at wikimedia-ca, pre-foundation. Do you think that would be well used?

You went to the meet-up, did you? How was it? -- Zanimum 14:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear the news about Wikimedia Canada. The meetup was just a 20 minutes gathering of 3 people: myself, Josh and his friend. I left before knowing if Dhodges arrived as mentioned. BTW How well do Wikimedia and its projects integrate within the Greater Torontonian (or Canadian, in the broader sense) community? not much integration at large IMO. Expanding local influence shall be a long term goal. Professionals usually don't offer much help until the benefits are appealling (but I believe there are still kind and helpful experts out there). A designated IRC channel shall be worth trying but IMO its usefulness is suspect at present. Why creating a new English channel while the normal wikipedia IRC would preform as well? Canadian Wikipedians need better connections with each other, whether it is in IRC or newsgroups.

MBendi

Hi, Ktsquare, thanks for your message of February 2006. As most Chinese Wikipedians speak English according to your note, I am encouraged to make a request: Would it be appropriate to add the English language links at MBendi Information for Africa to ZH:Wikipedia individual African countries' Economy pages? I have linked to the Namibia page, as an example, in the link. Here is another good example, the MBendi World Mining Overview. I will not make any links before I hear from you. Thank you. --McTrixie 19:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello McTrixie. IMHO, why would u prefer to add links from mbendi to wikipedia? For example, Is mbendi accountable? Ktsquare (talk) 12:07, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MBendi is absolutely accountable. But, there is absolutely no Chinese language content at the site whatsoever. Yet, in the English speaking business world, they offer extremely detailed content on Africa which is hard to find. Yet, there is no Chinese language content whatsoever. I don't know. --McTrixie 07:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if the accountability is true, go ahead and add it. But let me remind u that contributors are responsible for their work. Cheers. Happy editing. Ktsquare (talk) 22:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have thought about it and I can't put non-Chinese language websites on African country pages just because they are perfectly accountable. But I do have another idea that I have been thinking about for a while: Do you think it would be wise to put the roman alphabet names to the long list of names of countries at the zh Wikipedia Africa article? Everytime I go there I wonder how a Chinese reader is ever going to learn the French, English or Xhosa names of the countries if all they have is the transliterations. --McTrixie 05:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. IMHO, why would u prefer to perform such action? Ktsquare (talk) 01:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
