Different user accounts for different langauges?

{{helpme}}

At the moment I have three different user accounts, all with the same name, for each of the three langauges: English, Afrikaans, and Meta.

Is it not possible to have just a single account that works on all three portals? Managing three accounts is kind of tricky. -Yeshuahasochek (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :). It is awesome that you responded so quickly :). Wikipedia rocks! -Yeshuahasochek (talk) 16:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The Universal ID is now working and it does save a lot of time when moving between different language wikis as well as dictionaries, wikibooks etc. As I contribute to all of these and in other languages too, it used to be a nightmare.

Translator's Template for English-Afrikaans, Afrikaans-English?

I can translate between English (eng) and Afrikaans (afr), however, I don't see such a translator's template at Babel or elsewhere. Is it possible to create such a template so that I can put that template on my Meta account user page? This will allow others who wish to form an Afrikaans translation project to do the same and find each other. Thanks :)

Wikipedia:Translation might help ya. Also, please remember to sign your talk page edits using the four tildes (~~~~). Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 17:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

List of Freemasons

You recently added Cornelis Jacobus Langenhoven to the List of Freemasons. I thank you for your contribution, but the inclusion criteria for that list requires that all entries to be cited to reliable sources at the time of addition. I have therefor removed your addition. It isn't personal. Blueboar (talk) 14:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks... the sources look fine. And welcome to the wonderful world of Wikipedia. Blueboar (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Ritual

I removed your recent addition to Ritual since it isn't exactly a common example of ritual practice. The fact that ritual is important to Magick and Theurgy bares mention in those entries but the converse is not true. Regards.

Please assume good faith in regards to my lapse in not leaving my signature above, since it was just that, a lapse (one most people make once in a blue moon) and you have my sincerest apologies for it. The entry on ritual is not a space in which to simply list examples of practices that include ritual components, however heavily they may do so. When the entry does bring up examples of specific practices it does so to illustrate a more general aspect of ritual practice, and it also does so while drawing from very common examples. Despite what you claimed on my talk page Magick and Theurgy are not common, and do not factor into academic texts on ritual. Yes, I am well aware of the fact that there are popular texts and manuals available on these practices in at least the bookstores of the English speaking world. Could you give me an example of a scholarly text about ritual with a chapter on "Magick?" Mind you that Magick (popularized by Crowley) is not a synonym for the more general term magic (which can be found in historical and early anthropological texts about ritual). Scholarship on the latter does offer some unique insights into ritual theory, and has certainly been seminal in the early history of said body of theory, in no small part through debates over the very usefulness of the category. Now, please understand that I mean no disrespect to those who practice these things, but they simply are not all that notable, and they are not given the attention you claim in academic texts. If I am wrong about the latter assertion then please enlighten me by providing some sources. Thank you kindly, and best.PelleSmith (talk) 16:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. All the best.PelleSmith (talk) 18:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Gospel of the Second Coming

The article The Gospel of the Second Coming has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This book does not even almost meet the notability guidelines for a book.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Stellenbosch to bid for Wikimania 2012!

Hi Yeshua!

The nascent South African Wikimedia chapter has decided to bid to host Wikimania in Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2012. This would be the first Wikimania in South Africa, and would be a great advertisement for our country. Please take a look at meta:Wikimania_2012/Bids/Stellenbosch. If you can add to the discussion, please do. If you feel that you are able to do anything to help, please join the Wikimedia South Africa mailing list and let us know. Even simple messages of support are valued!

Best regards,

David Richfield

New User needing proofreader.

I am learning Afrikaans. I thought a great way to learn would be to translate some of the English Wiki pages to Afrikaans. I have people proofreading first before I post. I have 3 articles done, I'm just waiting for the proofreading. As I don't know all the words yet, I have been using a translator, not sure if is helping or making things worse. I guess I'll find out when people start sending me back the proofed pages. How does it work with Wiki proofreaders? Do I post the stuff and tag it somehow? Do I post in profreader's talk that I posted? I've edited pages with a different account, but I've never translated or created pages yet, I'm quite excited to contribut to the Wiki Afrikaans pages!
