en:Max Manus

Hello! I am a member of the norwegian wikipedia community. I just got a request by mail from a norwegian who would like to inform his working-buddies about who Max Manus is. There is a movie coming out this month about him, and he would like his buddies to know a bit more about him before seeing the movie. It would be great if someone could make a small article about him in polish. Thank you. -- Atluxity (dyskusja) 12:05, 13 gru 2008 (CET)

"Personnalités liées à la commune" = "Osoby związane z miastem"  : KOŁO'

--Henri Musielak (dyskusja) 13:52, 7 sty 2009 (CET) On dit en France : "Nul n'est prophète en son pays". Ayant constaté que dans l'article consacré à la ville de KOŁO, il n'était fait nulle référence au précurseur de l'enseignement des langues vivantes par le disque voici déjà plus de 100 ans, Jakub ROSTON, né dans cette localité, il m'a paru important de combler cette lacune. Je l'ai fait hier et je constate qu'une heure plus tard, un censeur irréfléchi a supprimé la précision très importante: "ur[odzony] w Kole". Etant lui-même de Koło, il devrait ressentir quelque fierté à ajouter un nom qui fait honneur à sa "mała ojczyzna" . De toute façon il semble évident de devoir indiquer dans cette rubrique ("Osoby związane z miastem") le lien qui unit chacun des noms à cette ville, soit qu'il y est né, soit qu'il y ait vécu ou qu'il y soit mort... D'autre part, faut-il respecter la chronologie (J. Roston est né au XIXe s.) ou inscrire les noms les à la suite des autres ? A bon entendeur, salut !

Sun rising flower

Recently I have been in the Tatra mountains and I have seen the roseta simbol [2] in houses and churches of the Zakopane style. The turist guide told me that it's called sun rising flower (I don't know if it's the english term or the translation to english of the polish name). I'd want that someone of polish users wrote an article in the polish wikipedia about this solar simbol whit the polish point of view, to improve, to make better and complet my article in the aragonese wikipedia with polish information. This simbol is also very common in Asturias, but the asturian wikipedia has only a little activity, I think that polish wikipedia is biggest and more active, so it's easier for you.

The LocalisationUpdate extension has gone live

The LocalisationUpdate extension is now enabled for all Wikimedia projects. From now on new localisations that become available in SVN will become available to your project within 24 hours. Your localisations get into SVN from translatewiki.net typically within a day and at worst in two days. This is a huge improvement from the old practice where the localisations became available with new software. This could take weeks, even months.

The localisations done by our community at translatewiki.net are committed to SVN typically every day. When the system messages in English are the same as the local messages, they will now be inserted in a file and are available for use in all our projects in a timely manner

What this means for you

Local messages have an impact on the performance of our system. It is best when messages are as much as possible part of the system messages. In order to remove unnecessary duplication, all the messages that have a local localisation and are exactly the same as the system message will be removed. What we ask you to do is to compare and proof read the messages in translatewiki.net and the local messages. You can then either remove local messages when the translatewiki.net message is to be preferred or, you can update the message at translatewiki.net.

Messages that are specific to your project will have to stay as they are. You do want to check if the format and the variables of the message are still the same.

Why localise at translatewiki.net

When you localise at translatewiki.net, your messages will be used in all Wikimedia projects and eventually in all MediaWiki based projects. This is how we provide the standard support for your language. When messages change, at translatewiki.net you will be prompted to revisit your translations. Localising is more efficient because we have innovated the process to make you more efficient; there is text explaining about messages and we have applied AJAX technology to reduce the number of clicks you have to make.

Translatewiki.net update

• Currently 100.00% of the MediaWiki messages and 88.20% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM (dyskusja) 15:58, 30 wrz 2009 (CEST)
• Currently 99.96% of the MediaWiki messages and 95.99% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM (dyskusja) 15:42, 1 lis 2009 (CET)
• Currently 99.87% of the MediaWiki messages and 98.85% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM (dyskusja) 14:21, 8 gru 2009 (CET)
• Currently 99.70% of the MediaWiki messages and 99.47% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM (dyskusja) 15:58, 18 sty 2010 (CET)

How can we improve the usability for your language

We expect that with the implementation of LocalisationUpdate the usability of MediaWiki for your language will improve. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer: Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative Does MediaWiki support your language properly

The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the necessary changess . It should update your localisation straight away. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues.

When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.

We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_issues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.

Bogumił Pacak-Gamalski

Bogumił Pacak-Gamalski and Strumień do not appear to met notability requirements. See Google results. I am not good at finding Polish language sources, but I have tried.

I have only found one English language abstracted article that mentions Bogumił Pacak-Gamalski, in „Calgary Herald”, which is about people who have emigrated from the East Bloc. It reports on four different people/families, telling their story of going back to see their homeland, but it contains very little biographical information.

Strumień is not indexed in any journal database that I can find, or held in many libraries around the world. This is one of the proposed criteria at en:Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals), developed by en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals. I appreciate that Polish Wikipedia may use different notability criteria, especially with humanities journals relating to Polish topics. Strumień is in Katalog bibliotek UW, and at least one other regional Polish library. A few more details about the editorial board was mentioned on en:Talk:Richard Tylman:

The editorial board consists of people of such stature as: A.J. Wroblewski (former President of Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and Professor Emeritus of University of Illinois, A. Gradowska ( former professor and organizer of Dep. of Fine Arts at the Central University in Caracas (en:Central University of Venezuela?), B. Pacak-Gamalski (poet and essaist).

Reporting system on pl.WP

Hello, if I am correct pl.WP has a system for people who want simply to report something to improve (Zglos Blad). Could anyone tell me about your experiences with it, for example whether there is a flood of reports, is it a useful tool, are the reports useful, how long is the queue of reports still not dealt with and so on? Are there descriptions of the tool in English or German? Kind regards --Ziko-pl (dyskusja) 17:37, 23 lis 2009 (CET)

Hello! Sorry for my bad English. If somebody would abuse this system, for eg. by flooding, we can block his IP and he won't do anything bad anymore. It's one of greatest tools on pl.wikipedia. We have a lot of problems reports, more than 50% of them are correct. If we can verify it, we are changing informations in article ASAP. It can be few minutes, it can be day, but not longer than (AFAIR) 2 days, cause after it report is moved to talk page. There are serval persons who are active there, but i'd love to have them few times more, cause i think it's very imprtant page for quality improvement. To be honest almost nobody checks talk pages regularly, so reporting there something is kinda pointless. Problems reported to "zgłoś błąd" are corrected faster, so i think it's a good tool. Also some IPs and newbie users are afraid of editing Wikipedia, so giving them an easy GUI makes that they reports problems more often. There's no description of it in other languages, sorry. If you ask it cause you want to add it to wiki then i recommend it! Herr Kriss ✉ 21:59, 23 lis 2009 (CET)

I wouldn't call it a flood of reports but there is a constant stream. It's extremely useful because people report problems they don't know (or are too afraid) to fix themselves. Some people point out small things like a missing coma or dot, other can point out major errors considering, let's say, history and tell us what books to vrify the information in. Of course there is slight problem with people reporting spelling errors in words that ain't in the article, people who don't provide enough information about the problem (say "Article is wrong" or something like that) and then there are of course people who report problems with things totally not related to Wikipedia like their cars, their videogames, their accounts on various websites...The current queue is, if I'm correct, 10 days long though most reports take no more than a few hours and only the more mayor ones take days. All in all it's very useful and extremely popular tool without which we wouldn't correct many errors and mistakes.Plushy (dyskusja) 13:27, 24 lis 2009 (CET)

Could you quantify your "constant stream"? --Harald Krichel (dyskusja) 14:24, 24 lis 2009 (CET)

Well...I can't really give you a number on that I'd say about 20 a day,sometimes more, sometimes less. You can try taking a look at the statistics and the page history (every edition with "nowa sekcja" means a new section = new report). Of course not all of these are useful but I don't think that we would get any of the useful ones in every other way.Plushy (dyskusja) 18:08, 24 lis 2009 (CET)

  Уважаемый имярек Николаевич! Обкатать статью вроде бы проще паренной репы, но вопрос другой - является ли ваш отец столь значимой персоной, к тому же имеющей посвящённую только ему монографию (что в принципе требуется на плвики как АИ - авторитетный источник), чтобы иметь статью о себе. Какой-то зацепкой могло бы быть то, что он профессор. Однако названный вуз, мягко говоря не только на высший, но и на первый сорт не тянет, да к тому же указанной кафедры художественного творчества и искусств я на сайте вуза не нашёл, так же как и вашего отца среди указанных там преподователей. Конечно статуя голой Юлия это вещь крутая, но мне лично кажется, что и это на значимость не тянет, а всё содержание статьи сугубо автореклама. Так что лично я от правки статьи воздержусь.

Но то как и это, что и когда лично я пойму не имеют в Википедии никакого значения, и более того - руководствоватся своим мнением является грубым нарушением правил. Так же недопустимо принимать за источник личные, высказыванные вслух, мнения и оценки родственников, знакомых, друзьей субъекта статьи, а равно - неважно как обильные - газетные, телевизионные или инетрнетовые заметки и сообщения. Применение таких правил не даёт права обвинять в отсуствии уважения или давит на оппонентов словами, что кто-заслужил большего. Остаюсь со своим мнением, которое, как вы справедливо заметили, имеет право на существование, мнением, что вы используете Википедию как средство рекламы и продвижениея вашего отца, на пример в деле продажи статуи голой Юлии за 500.000 евро.

Asking for information about de-sysop in your wiki

Hi. I come from the spanish wikipedia, gathering data about how other wikis deal with the de-adminship politics, in order to have an overall view before discussing our own politic.

I would be very grateful if any of you is so kind to give answer to these questions:

• Do you have a specific politic to handle with this?
• Is it by committee or is put to the popular vote?
• If voting
  • who can vote?
  • What percentage of support is required to maintain the flag?
• Do you loose the flag because of long periods of absence?
• How many de-sysop have happened in your wiki? (separed in reasons, if possible: I mean, not mixing voluntary with forced cases, or absent cases with admins with a discussed trust).
• How many administrators do you have?
• (Any other relevant data you may consider)

Hello, hopefully nobody will be ofended if I answer these questions to my friend in es.wiki although my presence in this Wikipedia is very limited:

• There is a comittee which determines disciplinary actions, like revoking admin rights (something that happened twice). In addition, 8 more users were privated from their admin rights, because they were not reachable via the Wikipedia email in the preferences. There is no voting for this purpose, but I am not aware if this Wiki is on the way to create a process for that. I couldn't find anything about it.
• The inactive admins don't loose the admin rights automatically after a certain period of inactivity.
• There are 162 admins (see stats)

No, bar is not same thing as bar mleczny. Herr Kriss ✉ 03:10, 2 kwi 2010 (CEST)

Czy to również nie język potoczny (dawna lub dziś)? Na przykład: 2 guys in the eighties: Hey! Let's go to the bar ... (w tym wypadku bar mleczny) ...and eat something? --Nordmensch (dyskusja) 03:31, 2 kwi 2010 (CEST)

You are talking about bar (lokal gastronomiczny). Bar mleczny has it's own story in Poland. It's not the same. Maćko (dyskusja) 17:06, 14 kwi 2010 (CEST)

Rozumiem, to było głupi pytanie, dziękuję za odpowiedź, a w tym miejscu proszę przyjąć wyrazy głębokiego współczucia. --Nordmensch (dyskusja) 19:20, 14 kwi 2010 (CEST)

Reporting an error

Hi,

My name is Orsolya, I'm a Hungarian sysop. I just learnt recently, that you have a special page called "Wikipedia:report an Error" or something like that. I know it is inserted in the sidebar but I can't find which page is that. Could you pls give me the link? I think that page is simply brilliant I would like to apply it to the Hungarian Wikipedia as well! Thx, --OrsolyaVirág (dyskusja) 17:05, 8 cze 2010 (CEST)

• The page is Wikipedia:Zgłoś błąd w artykule and the link is in the navbar as "Zgłoś błąd" (you should log out to enjoy it's functionality fully I believe).Plushy (dyskusja) 17:17, 8 cze 2010 (CEST)
• Yeah, this page is worth adding, it does a good job. Herr Kriss ✉ 19:34, 8 cze 2010 (CEST)
• And the script for displaying the popup is here. Lampak Dysk. 21:17, 8 cze 2010 (CEST)
  • And once you've clicked "Zgłoś błąd" you need to click "Przejdź do formularza" ("proceed to the form"). The other options are "correct it yourself" (leads to the edit screen) and, of course, "cancel". Lampak Dysk. 23:20, 8 cze 2010 (CEST)

Translation request

Hello. I am coordinating translations of articles about several Austrian writers and their (recent) books. I would like to ask you to translate the article about the short novel Hominide by Klaus Ebner to Polish. From the link you can also choose a German, French or Spanish version if this is easier for you. If you need help, you can always contact me on my English or German user page. Thank you for your endeavors. Irina Walter, Baden (Austria) --Irina Walter AT (dyskusja) 12:30, 21 cze 2010 (CEST)

Polish Wikiversity, Beta Wikiversity

Cześć! We have a participant Wandal on Beta Wikiversity who wants to help set up a Polish site for Wikiversity and he has requested the custodian (i.e. sysop) flag. There are a few votes for him but most of the names didn't come with a homepage or a link to their "other" wiki activities so it is difficult to evaluate his candidacy. We appreciate your input and comments. Dziekuje!

Hillgentleman (dyskusja) 08:25, 12 lip 2010 (CEST) (Bureaucrat, Beta)

• I think it's also difficult for us to evaluate them. All I can say is that user Wandal and users that supported the claim have no activity on pl.wiki. Their previous edits on Wikiversity do not seem to reveal much experience with wiki sites. IMHO they may go on contributing to Polish beta wikiversity and it's too early to set up a distinct Polish site. rdrozd (dysk.) 13:01, 17 lip 2010 (CEST)

Wrong editions and categories

Hello dear polish friends!

I love Poland and prove of it is that I have created no few articles about Poland in the catalan wikipedia, like about Andrej Wajda, Katin massacre, Raclawice Panorama, etc.

However, today I was trying to create a template in your wikipedia and I was completely mistaken due to understanding problems with your so much beautiful language. Please revise my last editions and erase it all as I don´t know how to do it. It was not my purpose to bother you and I really apologize. It won´t happen. I´m sorry guys and I wish to continue collaborating with the polish wikipedia and creating articles about Poland and ist culture, history, literature, cinema, etc.

Tags in comments of revert edits (flagged revisions study)

Hello. Since we received no feedback from the Polish community in this regard yet, I'm asking here again following suggestions from other wikipedians. I admit that the "International" section of the forum is quite welcoming for non-Polish speakers :-).

As you may remember, in Wikimania 2010 we presented the latest results from the flagged revisions study we are conducting on the German Wikipedia. A key issue is to compare the evolution over time of revert actions, and compare it to other Wikipedias with flagged revisions enabled (like Polish and Russian). A reliable approach to identify reverts is matching special words or patterns introduced in the summary field of those edits. I guess in Polish many sysops may also use some JavaScript tools to automate reverts, like in English or Spanish (not sure about this, though, and I'd love to learn more details). Please, note that we cannot use MD5 hashes, since they don't help us distinguish between standard reverts and vandalism reverts (an important aspect of this report). That's why we use comments.

So, in short: we need the help of Polish sysops or contributors to identify common tags, words or patterns that we should search in the summary field of edits in the Polish Wikipedia to identify revert actions (ideally, matching plain reverts and vandalism reverts separately).

We have accumulated some delay so far, since the scope and level of detail of the report is going far beyond the initial plan. Thus, I kindly ask you for some help with this issue. I think the conclusions will be really useful for all Wikipedias with flagged revisions activated, not only German.

You can leave your comments on my user discussion page in this Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. --GlimmerPhoenix (dyskusja) 14:35, 25 wrz 2010 (CEST)

About non-Latin redirects

I think that non-Latin redirects should be allowed, since sometimes original names of proper names are written in non-Latin scripts, such as Chinese characters or Hebrew alphabets , and allowing this type of redirects can ease finding of these proper names (English Wikipedia accepts this type of redirects, which is quite helpful when searching for Chinese or Japanese proper names). --RekishiEJ (dyskusja) 18:04, 6 paź 2010 (CEST)

a list of keywords

Hello,

I'm doing my project into language processing and I'm using Wikipedia. I want to use several languages in the tests, included the one of this version. And since I need some articles to analyze I wanted to ask for your help. Precisely, some keywords I will explain now.

Actually what I am looking for is a list in your language with the names of those territories which represents an entity of speakers (therefore possible wikipedia contributors) of your language, the name its people or gentilic, and the name of the language (if it is the same language and it has a different name). These territories must be in practice independent from each others or at least be considered so by the speakers. This is the case of colonies, excolonies, other countries which historically speak the same language or minorities attached into the country next to yours.

For example, a list in english something like. "english", "england", "irish", "ireland", "scottish", "scotland", "british", "united_kingdom", "american", "united_states", "canada", "canadian", "australia", "australian", "new_zealand", "new_zealander". Probably there are some others which are not very big but I don't know cuz I'm not familiar.

If you were so kind to produce me this list, I would so appreciate it! Thank you very much!

About the fact that majority of articles here contain too few content

Many of articles here are stubs, and the overall quality of featured articles here is quite lower (less in content and less-referenced, though I don't understand Polish language at all, I can judge the quality by the articles' length and citations) than that of those in English Wikipedia. Hope that Wikipedians here can face these problems and recruit more Wikipedians to solve them, as some Wikipedians once proposed to close Polish Wikipedia due to the quality problem I mentioned here.--RekishiEJ (dyskusja) 12:08, 9 gru 2010 (CET)
