Fundraising translation feedback

Hey Tar Lócesilion,

I wanted to ask for your help. As you may be aware we have been running banners on many language wikis. We have a lot of new content this year and I really want to conduct a thorough review of our translations. This is a combination of feedback from the community, readers, donors as well as those with professional translator experience. This will help us ensure the highest quality of translations used in our messaging.

To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to give us feedback for Polish using This Link

Simply follow the simple instructions on that page and if you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Many Thanks

Help with Polish translations

Hi Tar Lócesilion , I am contacting you as I would highly appreciate your help to translate and proofread three short texts from English to Polish for WMF's multilingual fundraising campaign that will be starting in two weeks. I kindly ask you to go onto the Fundraising Translation Hub https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/Translation, and click on the three texts available for translation. All of these three texts need proofreading in order to be sure we have quality translations. Please check the review button as you work yourself through the texts. I would be most grateful if you would spread this message and ask fellow English/Polish Wikipedians to do the same. Please reach out to me by email, [email protected] if you have any questions. A warm thank you in advance. Kind regards, Jrobell (talk) 14:55, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

redirects/rediry

Raczej miałem na myśli lokalne rediry. Tak, aby np. na en wiki czy pl wiki czy, w Twoim przykładzie ar.wiktionary.org, możnaby lokalnie napisać np. User:Tar salceson i dojdzie. :) Zdrufko, --Mareklug (talk) 13:48, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

redir tar_salceson

Cokolwiek łatwego, tylko pamiętaj, że jakiś pan od Swahili czy inszego tam Urdu może mieć podobne problemy z naszą swoistą Lodówką. Musisz jednak mieć globalne wyczucie i kompletne rozwiązanie dla tego ważnego problemiku. W końcu będziesz stewardem dla świata, a nie Polaków. --Mareklug (talk) 07:13, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

re:

Hi there, and thanks for sending me that note! So I'll tell you what I know (I'd like to comment more widely but there are some links I'd need to find first). In the meanwhile, you will find useful information at these links I grouped on Meta for everybody's convenience. I strongly recommend for example that you read minutes and slides from the 2 latest Editing (formerly VE) team quarterly reviews (the last one features a slide showing an interesting adoption rate of VE at your Wikipedia), as well as the last logs from office hours with James F. You'll also see find dashboards about VE usage on pl.wp, and ongoing/suggested research to be done for VE. So, research. That depends on how much the Analytics team can support the Editing team, and as James F. stated some days ago during the last quarterly review of VE, that is a "Principal area of concern; still waiting on resource availability". The team's interest in this was also confirmed in the previous quarterly review. The good news there is that the new WMF Executive Director, Lila Tretikov, definitely wants all the products to be supported by more research, so I am confident that we should see new things on that front ASAP. I've seen you editing pl.wp relevant Mediawiki pages and bug 52162. I can ask James F. his ideas about the other points and planned work, but I think it would be great if you could do that instead: how about coming to the office hour on IRC this Saturday at 6pm UTC? I'm looking forward to continuing this discussion with you, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 12:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Some kind of research does not really need hundreds or thousands of participants, quite the contrary (it's something else than just asking feedback, mind you :) ) But you can see that team's work at mw:Design/Research, and opt-in for future research. As for future plans for VE, I often link to James' presentation at Wikimania 2014, and to the roadmap for a sense of work which is being done now or is really in the pipeline. So glad you're coming on Saturday! \o/ --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 08:59, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

That's an interesting point, please go ahead and just ask her ;) (I'm looking for a better way to continue this conversation with you. I hope to find time to send you an email or something, maybe after the office hour if you'll still have doubts left.) --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 11:02, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the link and for your efforts: I'll keep following that page. My first comment about it would be, you might have collected more interesting/different feedback if you had added a request like can you please test VE now, and show us the diff? What weren't you able to do? What would you like to do with VE that you can't?. The initial responses prove that several users actually don't know what VE is like today, and it is a very, very different product from what it was in summer 2013... How many of them actually know that for example you can start editing in VE and then switch to wikitext editing without losing the changes? As an experienced user, I find that a valuable "feature", for example. Best, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 13:14, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Re: "Wikimedii"

Dziękuję za uwagi. Czuję się w obowiązku wyjaśnienia kilku kwestii.

• Po pierwsze, nie ulega wątpliwości, że zakwestionowane tłumaczenie faktycznie nie jest zrozumiałe. Jednakże pragnę zauważyć, że wersja oryginalna również według mnie nie należy do najszczęśliwszych.
  
• Po drugie, w swoich tłumaczeniach starałem się jak najbardziej zachować zgodność z treścią oryginalną (Twoja propozycja tłumaczenia jest faktycznie bardzo przejrzysta, ale na moje oko odbiega od oryginalnego przekazu; ja chciałem tego unikać).
  
• Po trzecie, ja wychodzę z następującego założenia: wykonuję tłumaczenie danej strony, traktuję je jako "szkic roboczy". Następnie jest możliwość zweryfikowania tego tłumaczenia i poprawki. Przecież każdy może to zrobić. Chyba żaden tekst nie jest od razu ideałem. Swoje edycje oznaczam jako "Oczekuje na przejrzenie".
  
• Wreszcie po czwarte, mam wrażenie, że "niezbędna znajomość specjalistycznego, wikimediowego języka" w tym wypadku oznacza tworzenie nowych słów, nieznajdujących się w słowniku języka polskiego. I, dla przykładu, tu tak naprawdę każdy może powiedzieć, że tłumaczenie non-Wikipedia -> niewikipediowy jest kompletnie niezrozumiałe i on proponowałby inne. Może właśnie przy takiej okazji warto byłoby pomyśleć o uściśleniu "wikipediowych" określeń, jeżeli chcemy umożliwić szerszemu gronu chętnych tłumaczy pomoc i działanie na rzecz polonizacji stron wiki. Bo jak wiadomo, im więcej ludzi, tym szybciej można konkretne zadania wykonać (a jest co robić, na chwilę obecną czeka w kolejce do tłumaczenia przecież prawie 25 tys. komunikatów). Przesyłam pozdrowienia, Pzwolinski (talk) 08:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Dziękuję za wyczerpującą odpowiedź i dyskusję. Zmieniła ona moje spojrzenie na całą ideę tłumaczeń. Oczywiście wezmę te wskazówki pod uwagę. Pozdrawiam, Pzwolinski (talk) 20:16, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! and update

Wikimedia Foundation Elections

Hej, odnośnie zmiany tłumaczenia: czy Wikimedia Foundation Elections to nie jest szarsze pojęcie niż Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees? Chyba to są wybory nie tylko do samej Rady Powierniczej? Pozdrawiam, Chrumps (talk) 08:37, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

re:

• nie korzystam, a ty?
• są przypadki kiedy rzeczowniki pisze się wielką literą.
• dlaczego takie organy jak Zgromadzenie Ogólne, Rada Bezpieczeństwa, Rada Gospodarcza i Społeczna, Rada Powiernicza czy Sekretariat (w ONZ) i wiele, wiele innych są tłumaczone?
• a swoją drogą Jeżeli chcesz dyskutować, to rób to ostrożniej. Nie pozdrawiam Glysiak (talk) 21:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

2016 Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You’re getting this message because you participated in the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey and we want to make sure you don't miss it this year – or at least can make the conscious choice to ignore if it you want to. The 2015 survey decided what the Community Tech team should work on during 2016. It was also the focus of Wikimedia hackathons and work by other developers. You can see the status of wishes from the 2015 wishlist at 2015 Community Wishlist Survey/Results.

The 2016 Community Wishlist Survey is now open for wishes. You can create proposals until November 20. You will be able to vote on which wishes you think are best or most important between November 28 and December 12. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Dobrze patrzysz, ale Nova jest realnie nieaktywna, a u Karola gdzieś tam akcja administratorska mogła się przydarzyć (nie pamiętam jak np. traktujemy edycje strony zabezpieczonej? chodzi mi po głowie, że nie uznajemy za akcję - co uważam za błędne :P, są pewnie inne tego typu niewidoczne od razu w logach), więc wolałem dla pewności na razie wykonać tylko jedno zgłoszenie ;) Pzdr! Nedops (talk) 15:14, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

No tak mi się wydawało, ale uważam takie podejście za błędne (edytowanie stron zabezpieczonych jest, z punktu widzenia zdrowego rozsądku - nie logów, taką samą akcją: wymaga posiadania przycisków i jest ich realnym użyciem, często istotniejszym niż usunięcie pustej strony dyskusji :P), więc dla spokoju sumienia przed wnioskiem o odebranie uprawnień Karolowi sprawdziłbym czy jednak z przycisków nie korzystał.

Presenting Community Engagement Insights survey report: Tuesday, October 10, 1600 UTC

Hi Tar Lócesilion,
I am reaching out to you because you signed up to receive updates about the Global Wikimedia survey.

We will be hosting a public event online to present the data, a few examples on how teams will be using it for annual planning, and what are next steps for this project. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 10, at 9:00 am PST (1600 UTC), and the presentation will be in English. You can watch the livestream here, and ask question via IRC on #wikimedia-office.

If you are unable attend, you can also find the report on meta, and watch the recording of the event at a later time.

We hope to have you join us online! -- María Cruz 23:29, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Tech ambassadors, "take two"

Hello tech ambassador! This month has seen a good influx of new faces in this crew \o/ , so it is time to reactivate our conversations. Now that we have a pretty good coverage of so many different projects, here are some topics for your consideration.

1. Are there further thoughts on the role itself? I hope the questions available on Meta can help spark them. Please weigh in at Talk:Tech/Ambassadors/List#Tech ambassadors, take 2.
2. How about we try and organise future collective work in a Phabricator workboard? Talk:Tech/Ambassadors/List#A Phab workboard for us? has all the details to explore this proposal.
3. Finally, you are also welcome to comment at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177923, should you happen to have suggestions for the Community Liaisons team, currently wondering how to measure "Wiki projects requesting beta features and other early deployments".

We hope to be able to host a live discussion in early 2018; until then, we're looking forward to hearing from you on Meta! All the best, --Elitre (WMF) (talk), on behalf of the Community Liaisons

Getting started on Phabricator

Greetings, ambassador!

As recently discussed within this group, we are ready to experiment with setting up a project and its related workboard on Phabricator, the platform used in the Wikimedia movement for project management, software bug reporting and feature requests. It will help us coordinate and cooperate better on projects that should require ambassadors' involvement.

For the time being, I'm just asking that you please add your Phabricator nickname next to your name in the ambassadors' table (you can create an account now if you don't have one already). I will send you further information soon! Thanks for your patience as we get to the operational stage of this effort :) Best, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 14:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

New Tech Ambassadors Phabricator board

Hello!

You have listed yourself as an active Tech Ambassador, thank you for that!

We have recently set up a board on Phabricator so that you can learn about tasks and updates that are potentially interesting for your community, and take action when necessary. During the pilot phase we are currently in, to avoid confusion, only Wikimedia Foundation's Community Liaisons will mark tasks so that they end up in the various columns. Thanks for your understanding!

Please follow this Phabricator board (learn how to). You'll receive "notifications" for updates in all tasks listed there. In case you choose to receive them as email; we currently expect the volume to be fairly low, but in any case you can learn how to manage it.

If you have any feedback about this board, please leave your questions and comments on the Ambassadors talk page.

How's ORES working out for you?

Hi Tar Lócalesilion, I'm working with User:EpochFail (@halfak on irc) on a research study to look into how mw:ORES is working out on wikis where it has been enabled. I was hoping to talk a little about what the kind of work you do on your Wikipedia and about how the ORES edit filters and classifiers have been working out. Do you use any tools other than Special:RecentChanges or Special:Watchlist that take advantage of ORES? Do you know of any other tools that are used to patrol that do not use ORES? I'm also interested in any other observations you may have about how the ORES scores are working out. Thank you! Groceryheist (talk) 22:16, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2021

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

Help wanted for global templates

You have shown support for global templates in the past. Staff of the Wikimedia Foundation view this change as big. We need to convince the Wikimedia Foundation to start working on this. We have to reassure them there is sufficient support by local project communities.

You can help move this forward.

Please do setup a page on the local projects you are (most) active on in the language of the project. Tell your fellow editors why you believe global templates are necessary. Follow the local project decision process to come to a discussion outcome as support or not. There is plenty of time for discussion. Please reach a conclusion before the end of April 2021.

Please translate the coordinating page on meta to languages you are proficient in. Gathering_support_from_local_projects_for_global_templates

Please add a line to this meta page with a link to a discussion page on your local project(s).

The goal is to have the Wikimedia Foundation include a program to develop infrastructure for global templates in their 2021/2022 Annual Plan. The Wikimedia Foundation will decide on the Annual Plan in May/June this year.

The aim is to have several dozen local project communities to show support, and little concerns, issues or objections. Of course, any project can continue to use their local templates.

When you have questions about this initiative you can reach me at adhuikeshoven.org or 31 6 40293574, and also on Telegram and Signal. You can also raise questions on the talk page on meta. Maybe some people would like to discuss this initiative in a meeting. Please let me know whether you would like to join a Zoom meeting in February.

Regards,
