Prosba o přejmenování

Prosím o přejmenování z PAJD na Petrus Adamus. Zřejmě nepůjde do nového účtu sloučit dva předchozí, PAJD a PAD, nebo se mýlím? Kdyby to šlo, prosím také o to, neboť pod druhým zmíněným jménem jsem také omylem několikrát přispěl. --PAJD 19:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Přejmenovat může pouze místní byrokrat, což je User:ThomasV, já mám jen správcovská práva. Nechal jsem mu tam hlášku, ale bylo by snad lepší to ještě potvrdit. Sloučit dva účty do jednoho mimochodem nejde, teoreticky by to mohli udělat vývojáři, ale prozatím se to pokud vím nestalo. Zdravím, -jkb- 09:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Li.wikisource

Haj, we have checked all pages and we're not missing any, so the pages of the Limburgish wikisource here can be deleted, they've all been moved to their subdomain here. :) --Ooswesthoesbes 15:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Danke for the answer, -jkb- 16:02, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

bn.wikisource

Hi, I have seen your msg at the talk page on bn.wikisource. Yes I have imported all the pages here under Category:Bengali to the bn.wikisource. So you can delete all the pages here under the Category:Bengali. Thank you for the msg.--Bellayet 16:53, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I wrote then: "WS:CSD G5 - Beyond scope: spam", was I wrong? Don't hesitate to restore the page if useful. Regards, ---Zyephyrus 23:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Hm, obviously nonsence, deletion was OK. I was just wandering about the link from the Bangla Wikisource here ("...to view this Bangla version ..."), which links to en.source anyway (like Bangla), probably a mistake not worth to discuss. Thanks for answer, -jkb- 09:14, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletion

Hi. I would like to direct your attention to Wikisource:Proposed_deletions#My_user_page_draft_book. I presume that deleting a sub-page of my user page doesn't require much discussion, so I hope that you have the time to help me with this. Thank you in advance! Andreas 16:21, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

no problem, done, -jkb- 16:30, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not delete the Russian texts

I will move them to Wikisource as soon I will find time for this. Yours, Dmitrismirnov 23:23, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, we shall delete only the taged pages. Thanks for answer, -jkb- 07:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Revisionjumper

Hallo -jkb-!

Es ist noch einfacher geworden, das Skript zu nutzen: Einfach document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-revisionjumper.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"><\/script>'); einfügen (bzw. davor die Einstellungen, wie ich das z. B. hier getan habe). Unter de:MediaWiki:Gadget-revisionjumper-config.js kann das Programm lokalisiert werden. (Antwort bitte lieber auf de:wp) Grüße, DerHexer 23:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Danke. Ich schaue mir das an und melde mich auf der de.wiki, -jkb- 12:48, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment summary

Hello, Thanks for these messages. What would be really useful is to have the beginning of the text added in the comment summary instead of a standard message. I don't understand why it's not like that here, but any other wikis of Wikimedia. Yann 18:46, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Well thanks, it is nice somebody like it... some hours or days after I have announced my 75-%-wikibreak at the cs.source the same message was deleted by my co-bureaucrat as "infantility" ([1], [2]). But OK: the message MediaWiki:Autosumm-replace adds in the summary the beginning of the text replaced (see e.g. [3]). the other message MediaWiki:Autosumm-blank adds nothing, naturally. -jkb- 19:24, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Sir, I am sorry, I don`t know about this rule. I will try to get some facts about source and than upload it at Commons. Thanks for information.(forgive me about my poor English) --Ashok modhvadia 18:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, that's all rigt. The most important matter is the question of the source and the licence, here or at commons, it does not matter. Good luck, regards, -jkb- 18:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Arbëreshë

Il testo che ho messo su wikisource è in w:Arbëreshë, la lingua degli italo-albanesi--Mizardellorsa 14:20, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can understand: the page Acàthistos is written in the w:en:Arbëresh language which is a dialect of the Albanian which is the code aat ind the ISO 639-3. Will you have more texts in this language dialect? -jkb- 14:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Internacionála

I just found its last surviving author Josefa Skaláka who died in 1968, so you deleted it from Czech Wikisource with the deletion log, right?

31 October 2008 -jkb- (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "Internacionála (Macek/Skalák, 1903)" ‎ (porušení autorského práva)

I have undeleted the edits of Internacionála right here and tagged it {{PD-US-1923-abroad/CS}}while dated in 1903. As I cannot read Czech, what does "Internacionála (překlad), doslovný překlad všech šesti slok podle originálu" at s:cs:Internacionála mean?--Jusjih 03:24, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I made some deletions in Oct/Nov 2008 because of copyright violations (it has been qualified as disturbing of the subdomain), here also both texts of Internacionála. Thanks for undeleting here and tagging with the 1923 tag. I will control the text etc. The second one "Internacionála (překlad)" means "International (translation), a word-for-word translation of all six verses" and it was not clear who is the translator and what is the source (came from an IP) - so it has no meaning for us here. Thanks, -jkb- 07:07, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

PD-US-1923-abroad/DE‎

I want to inform you that I translated the "PD-US-1923-abroad" tag into German: Template:PD-US-1923-abroad/DE‎. Regards, --D.H 19:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Texts

They are not ancient greek texts. They are pontic texts. Thanks for warning me before deleting anyway.--ZaDiak 13:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, answer see your page, -jkb- 13:48, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Well unfortunately there are only 4 pages(as far as I know) all of them created by me and all with the Pontic category.--ZaDiak 14:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I can. But I will do so propably in the weekend.--ZaDiak 19:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I created a main page for pontic language.--ZaDiak 00:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Касiў Ясь канюшiну

Hi! Thanks for welcome!

This song is an old traditional beloriusian song popularizated by the belariusian band Pesniary. The autor of lirics and the author of music are unknown. And because the song is very old it is obvious that is PD. The lirics I took from here. The problem is that I am Polish not Belarusian and I don't speak Belariusian well but I undestand it preaty good. The next problem is that I have no a cirrilic keybord so I may use only standard Windows functions: mark, paste, and so on... It would be better if somebody who know this project help me to fell these dates but it seems that Belariusan project is abandoned because last edits were a year ago or more... Regards Electron 13:36, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Provosionally I wrote some info on the talk page there. The Belariusan project is nit abandoned but there seems to be nobody to work on it. Regards to Poland, -jkb- 14:27, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for help. There on Polish Wiki projects and on Commons I edit for years but I am a newbe here. Wiki projects have differences from each other. In the future I will try to do it myselfe properly. Regards to Germany. BTW.: I live near German border (in Szczecin). What am I taking about - now there is no border because we all in Schengen area :) Electron 15:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Language category

Hi! There was mess there so I try to categorise them properly. My intention is that all articles and new category will be inside Category:Беларуская... I don't understend: Each of articles should contain this category or should be only inside of any Беларуская subcategory? Electron 12:51, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, yes. Every page. We are a project for more languages, and even if the pages are categorized by a category like Literature etc., it is sometimes important to know which language it belongs to (i.e. also who is responsible for it). More over, if you create a new subdomain it will be hard to move all pages to there when they are not categorized by language. A category tree alone does not help very much. -jkb- 14:21, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

OK. I'll add this category to each article but tomorrow because now I have no time. Regards Electron ^<Talk?> 14:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

OK. By the way, have you been editing now this Täwge Bit??? What is that? -jkb- 14:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea. This was not my product. And the name sounds nothing for me in any known language... Electron ^<Talk?> 09:21, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Georgiean categories

Thank's, these categories were created incorrectly. Generally speaking, one author had about 5 categories - works of B.Shoe, writning of B.Shoe & etc. I'll check other categories & hope that won't disturb you even more:)--George Mel 08:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

thank you!

I have added the language category! Thanks for guiding me.. Best Regards, Maharshi --Maharshi675 13:44, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 :-) OK, and feel good here, -jkb- 13:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Sorry, what is a "language category"? I thought this was the esperanto wikisource, I registered me in esperanto version. --Francescost 06:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, this is a multilingual Wikisource. As Esperanto and some other languages do not have an own subdomain the text are hosted here, see Main Page#wikisource.org. To avoid a chaos it is necessary to tag all pages in the main name space with language categories, in this case with Category:Esperanto. Regards, -jkb- 08:41, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Archives

Oh, I'm very sorry. Could you link me to the discussions in the archive that are still active? I will restore them. Maximillion Pegasus 22:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much for your help :) I will be sure to get all of the discussions next time. Regards, Maximillion Pegasus 17:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Reply

Surpriz did everything incorrec.

a) Most of his texts were in Russian. b) He used incorrect terminology c) He wrote the definition, and not the text itself. Best regards, --Gaeser 14:03, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, this account can be deleted if necessary. I have only 5-6 edits on this one. :)

PD-manifesto on English Wikisource

Please come to s:en:Wikisource:Scriptorium#Move_PD-manifesto_works_to_Canadian_Wikilivres? and Wikilivres:Wikilivres:Community_Portal/en#Canadian_copyright_protection_of_lectures as I find a Canadian legal permission to post public speeches per Wikilivres:Manifesto. As you administer Czech Wikisource, you may also want to ask your fellow users there about moving Czech PD-manifesto works to Canadian Wikilivres as I have asked the similar thing on Chinese Wikisource.--Jusjih 04:14, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I read it on WL. Thank a lot. -jkbx- 12:16, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Edits u7a

hi again i see you have this rule: Analytical and artistic works
Analytical works are publications that compile information from other sources and analyze this information. Any non-fiction work which is written about a topic after the main events have occurred generally fits in this category. These as well as any artistic works must have been published in a medium that includes peer review or editorial controls; this excludes self-publication.
why not to allow a wifi universal page to be in your directory? i posted a link to a page of april 2009 and analytical text.
sincerely, u7a

Answer see User talk:U7a. Regards -jkb- 11:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

hello JKB Who wants to know alien minds
When a brain is working it generates an impulses (microelectrical), when somebody is thinking or operates incoming iformation (sees something or hears something) a computer remembers that impuls from the brain (from where it goes and what kind of). the next time it must be similar.
probably every person has own type of impulses. but if the computer could read the impulses then it could send the same to a person. it means it could play on the brain.

Template:InterLingvLigoj

Hi! Can you update Template:InterLingvLigoj, like you did with Template:Languages? I would do it myself, but it's protected... :( Many thanks, ciao! Candalua 21:40, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

You mean to add als to it? I am not quite sure if the Template:InterLingvLigoj is still up to date. Probably Template:Languages should be used instead of it? Tell me if you need it and then I can change it. Regards -jkb- 10:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, well, I don't know why there are 2 similar templates... :) The InterLingvLigoj seems to be used by all the main pages, while the Languages only by the "main" Main Page. The only difference is that in Languages there is a <div style="width: 70%"> that can cause ugly results if we use this template on the main pages. I suggest moving that div out of the template, and put it directly on Template:Wikisource languages. Then Template:InterLingvLigoj can become a redirect to Template:Languages. Ciao, Candalua 14:20, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Something like that. Tomorrow I will have a look at it. Regards, -jkb- 20:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I moved Template:InterLingvLigoj to Template:AllLanguages, and it is transcluded in Template:Languages, so that we have one template only which is to be actualised. -jkb- 16:50, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Page naming format for author's poem pages =

I am a newbie to wikisource. Have started adding poems of urdu poets to wikisource. Is there any recommended format for naming the poem pages. In somecases I have seen the page just to have the name "poem first line" (eg william wordsworth's poem pages) and in other cases "poem first line/poet name" (urdu: galib's poems). Is one format better than the other? Thanks User:IrfanAli04 IrfanAli04 17:40, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, and be welcome here, naturally. Well, concerning the pages especially in Urdu: I think the best you casn do is to contact User:Yann who has a great experience with Hindi, Sanskrit etc. Just ask him. Regards and Happy New Year for you as well, -jkb- 17:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm back home now. Sorry that we didn't have a time for that talk. Will you be in Gdansk? There are still points which I would find interesting to discuss. Eclecticology 16:48, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Nice to hear you've found a flight :-)... Yes, I hoped to meet you on Friday April 23 on a small meeting of German users from Berlin (I informed you about this in the hotel), but unfortunately I could not reach you by telephone and I didn't get any call from you. I'm really sorry about that, I would have gladly talked to you on some questions and points, too. Gdansk: no, I don't plan to go there. So, let us say "next time" somewhere... Anyway it was nice to meet you here shortly. Regards, -jkb- 09:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Category:Limburgish

Will it still be deleted? I could be deleted very easily using a bot. --Ooswesthoesbes 09:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure, it would be nice, it's too much to delete manually. But you need a bot with an admin flag - this can be granted by User:Eclecticology or User:ThomasV only. I would support it, and, if you would be so kind, you could delete also the Georgian pages that have been moved to Wikilivres. After I have imported them I made a list - see User:-jkb-/Moving Tabidze#import WL, orher titles, this section only, some 184 pages. Are you like to do it? Regards -jkb- 12:23, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

(I'm sorry for my late reaction) Surely I would like to do it. Is there any page where I can request bot and admin state? --Ooswesthoesbes 07:07, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Bot flags can be granted by bureaucrats. But in this case you need not only a bot flag but a sysop flag for the bot, and secondly, I would propose a temporary flag. Normally, temporary flags can be granted on meta when the community agrees. So I think the best is you ask for it on Scriptorium (with a link here to my page), I guess ThomasV or Eclecticology will give you the right answer. However, the pages must be deleted. Regards, -jkb- 09:11, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Done. --Ooswesthoesbes 11:32, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

RE: MediaWiki page

Oh, I thought it was equal in every Wikisource, but it isn't. Then, I would copy it from en:s:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage pagenum template, because "Page" namespace is also "Page" at oldwikisource. I think it would also work with es.source or ca.source. But fr.source has extra source, de.source says something about "Seite" (page), etc. It will create little "page"-links at the right side of the text transcluded from "page"s. Thanks and best regards! -Aleator (talk) 22:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

So I hope it works, regards -jkb- 23:11, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

2 things for you

Hi! Please, can you take a look at Wikisource:Scriptorium#Another_script_for_Common.js?

Also, can you add the following to MediaWiki:Common.css (taken from it.ws):

.poem { 
        margin-bottom: 0em; 
        margin-top: 0em; 
}
.poem p { 
        margin-top: 0em ! important; 
        margin-bottom: 0em ! important; 
}

I need it because when trascluding several pages together, every pages has its own <poem>, and putting pages together there is a "gap" between a page and the next. This is really ugly, especially when a stanza is half on one page, and half on the next: it appears split in two. See for example Ventiquattro Odi Scelte di Orazio Flacco/03, lines 26-27. Thank you very much! Ciao Candalua 13:28, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I hope... Tell me if there are some problems. Regards -jkb- 14:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Request for import

Hello,

There are texts in Breton misplaced in the French wikisource. They are grouped in this category: Catégorie:Textes en breton. Could you please import them to the "old" WS so that they are placed with the rest of the texts in Breton, in Category:Brezhoneg ? (I can take care of adding the category.) Then an admin can delete them from the French WS. Vigneron, an admin from there, already agrees that this is what should be done (see my talk page on the Breton Wikipedia). Kouign-amann 12:07, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

The import is no problem, I can make it soon. But I would like to know that the texts are PD (or able to be published here from any other reason). For instance, the author Denez Prigent (author of the text Ar grasoù) is born 1966, so he is not 70 years pma :-)...And somebody must change here the templates. Regards, -jkb- 12:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

The texts are definitely PD. Denez Prigent is not the author of any of them, he is credited for having collected some of them. I will take care of the templates. Kouign-amann 12:22, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, I will start now, but probably I will make the rest tomottow in the mornig. As far as I could see there were no talk pages to be imported. But let me make a remark to Denez Prigent: I hope it is ok, but sometimes making a collection can be copoyrighted as well (so at least in Germany). So, have fun, regards -jkb- 12:39, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Done, 18 pages main space. Regards -jkb- 12:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Kouign-amann 12:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Request for deletion

Hi again,

I created Category:Gwerz by mistake, because I hadn't seen that category names should be in the plural form. I thus created Category:Gwerzioù instead. Can you please delete Category:Gwerz ? Kouign-amann 13:14, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Kouign-amann 15:02, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Question : authors of texts in Breton

I created Category:Oberourien (authors). For now, it is under Category:Brezhoneg only. Should it also be under Category:Authors ? I wonder, because this category is supposedly for authors of texts in English, but is this statement still valid now that en.wikisource.org exists ? Kouign-amann 13:55, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it is up to oyu. There are no guidelines for author namespace and author categories (some languages use the author namespace some do not). If you have the category Oberourien and you categorize it in Brezhoneg, so it is OK, if you want you can categorize it in Authors as well (just like a subcategory) which would be teh best I think. -jkb- 14:38, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

All right, thanks. Kouign-amann 15:02, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

How to rename

Hello,

Apparently, I cannot rename a page. Is it because some special right is needed ? If so, would you consider giving it to me ? I hope renaming is not only for sysops on Wikisource…

If allowing me to rename is not possible, could you please undo an archiving that was not done properly on Talk:Degemer:Brezhoneg, namely : revert to the first version of the page, by IP 88.160.92.186, and then rename the page to Talk:Degemer:Brezhoneg/Archive/1, or something similar. Then we'll have a proper fresh talk page. Kouign-amann 07:01, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

We have here the same rules as the most projects - moving pages is allowed to all confirmed users i.e. users who are registered here since four days at least. Thus I think beginning today or tomorrow you should do it by yourself. However I removed the page as requested. Regards, -jkb- 09:01, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Kouign-amann 09:11, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

BTW, is there a more centralised page for this kind of requests, so I can go bother someone else next time :-) ? Kouign-amann 13:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

You can insert the template {{delete|reason}} and additionally make a notice on Wikisource:Proposed deletions. Regards, -jkb- 14:41, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Kouign-amann 14:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Page mode issues

Hello,

I asked ThomasV (talk • contribs) about issues with page mode, but he doesn't have time to deal with them. The conversation is here, in French. I reported that using <page> causes a bug, with red links to Page:Ar rannoù being inserted in Ar rannoù. It seems to be due to iwpage, according to him (or is it the Page template ?). Also, it would be good if someone could add fields to the input form, like Contents and Translator. This requires updating the protected pages MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index attributes and MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index template. Can you take care of these problems, or point me to someone who can ? Kouign-amann 17:41, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I think in this matter you ask better User:Zyephyrus, -jkb- 19:42, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Done, I left him a message. Kouign-amann 20:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Index:PL Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich. T. 1.djvu

The problem is, large parts of Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich are copyrighted under Polish copyright law (life + 70). So, after very long debate we decided to move it to multilingual Wikisource, because it was first published prior to 1923 (1880–1902 in fact). --Teukros 21:11, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, OK. I saw just something on the main index page published 1880 and no names of the authors etc. Please see Template:PD-US-1923-abroad and the talk. Regards -jkb- 08:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Question mark

Hey. Yes, it was making problems. A user reported it on IRC and I was able to reproduce. I know it shouldn't, but it did... You can try to move it back and if it works for you, then I guess it's fine now. Sorry for not responding sooner. Bye --Dungodung 18:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, OK, -jkb- 10:18, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Importing

Hi! Regarding Výlomky z Jánošíka, there's unfortunately no option in sk.wikisource's import page for importing from here (the only options are Commons and Meta). How should I do it? Also, I thought preserving the edit history wouldn't really matter copyright-wise since simple digitized PD text is not eligible for separate copyright. Or is there another reason for not deleting the old version apart from license compatibility? Regards, Jafeluv 11:03, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand the policy here. Long time ago I suggested that we use the transwiki or import possibilities that the software is principially granting (there is a request neccessary, that's all), but the discussion did not occure. In my eyes it would be necessary that all active admins on the oldwikisource would have the possibility to import from and to other wikisources and from and to wikipedias with here commons languages. In present you could ask Jusjih if he can do it. But it is quite abstruse situation if there is one only user with these right. Regards, -jkb- 11:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll ask Jusjih about it on their talk page. Jafeluv 11:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

categories

Thanks for the help. I'll add the categories to the various pages in the next day or two,i.e. regarding Category:Ivan Krilov‎ in double square brackets. Regards. Brcrisp 19:11, 4 December 2010 (UTC) PS Hope it is ok that I left this message here.

I have now added the categories to the various sections of Fabloj de I. A. Krilov. However, I still think I may have done this inappropriately, i.e. perhaps Ivan Krilov should not be a category at all but rather just an author (Aŭtoro:Ivan Krilov). If I now go to the Enhavtabelo (i.e. in the box just below Aktuala Ordigo) I see that Ivan Krilov is a category along with just Vikifontaro, Enhavtabelo, and Ĝermo. This doesn't seem right. Originally, I had thought that when I clicked on Ivan Krilov that the edit screen would show up as Aŭtoro:Ivan Krilov rather than Category:Ivan Krilov. Sorry about this. Guess I should have read more of the help pages before I started. Please let me know if there is some way I should fix this. Or do I perhaps need to create Aŭtoro:Ivan Krilov in addition to Category:Ivan Krilov. Regards. Brcrisp 21:13, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

The decision how to make author pages etc. is different from language to language. The best is if you discuss this with somebody who is working in the same language domain. Regards -jkb- 18:24, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

OK. I'll do that. Thanks again for your help. Regards. Brcrisp 18:45, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Bureaucrat

As you probably know, Thomas V resigned recently as bureaucrat, leaving me as the only bureaucrat. It would be good to have this position backed up. You are http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:-jkb-&action=edit&section=54one of three people who is already an admin, and who has the longevity and recent activity to warrant such an appointment. Please let me know your feelings on this. Eclecticology 08:40, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

No problem with me as I have the experience already. But, nevertheless, I would say the following: in the last time this project is suffering from no clear goals, no regluations etc. If I would start to work here more, so I would propose to discus some points like licences, copyright, categorizing of the languages. We have here a huge amount of copyvios, that must be deleted, and we must have a system to avoid them in the future. We need a system for such cases that every IP is inserting here something that nobody understands (up to now, I used to have a look at the google translator, but I am afraid I was the only one). We need to discus how to train up the users not only to make an own domain but also how to distinguish free and copyrighted texts (we had some great problems in the past, and some projects and languages do not care at all). For all this it weould be necessary to have a good team here to discus and provide this and to prepare some languages for the creating of a subdomain. At present nothing happens here. If we could start with this so OK, I'm interested. -jkb- 11:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I have been using Google translator for a long time too; the problem is that lots of languages here are not translated by it! Yes, I am interested if there are several of us, and -jkb- I would be delighted to be a bureaucrat here if you are one too, and I wish Eclecticology remains as a bureaucrat here too, so we would be three bureaucrats. Then, if one of us desists, Ooswesthoesbes who has been here for a shorter time, would perhaps accept to succeed the one who leaves. Zyephyrus 12:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, the problem with the translator can be solved later on, now we are at the point to discuss if we want to and how; thou, I would say, I would support both of you in the team and as bureaucrats - you and Ooswesthoesbes as well, as he is active here although "his" subdomain is gone, and he is also good technically and I think he could be a very good member of a team. So, my 2c :-). -jkb- 13:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

If everyone agrees I can appoint 1, 2 or 3 new bureaucrats. It's not a job with a lot of work attached. In those circumstances the issue comes down to knowing that there is something there to be done, as most recently with Yuma's renaming. You also raise some other points that merit serious discussion. Do you have a priority list that we can attack in an orderly fashion? Beyond asking that, I'll try not to encourage this thread going off on a tangent. Eclecticology 21:04, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I will support the one/two/three/four possibilities with pleasure: if the four of us as bureaucrats is possible, it is what looks best in my eyes, because we are more skilled together than each one of us separately. --Zyephyrus 06:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I also fully support all of us four as bureaucrats. The regulation here indeed is quite problematic, f.e.: some category names are English (Category:Albanian), while others are in the local language (Category:Aragonés). Google translate is not a solution. Most languages available on google translate are "common languages", most of which already have their own subdomain. --Ooswesthoesbes 07:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

@ Eclecticology: yes, I have some more points, I guess I need some (say) two days to make it in a written form and well structured. Not here, but I think on a special page where we could discuss such goals and changes in the next future. I'm working on it. And, as I said above, I support the idea with the four bsts. -jkb- 11:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Great. We have unanimity to support my unilateral action appointing all three of you to the bureaucracy. It has now been done. Welcome.

On the other points, don't worry about them being well structured. If we are to have any hope of getting through them it will be by breaking up the list in manageable chunks, and beginning work with those where we have consensus first. Eclecticology 21:42, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your trust and the flag. Today or tommorow I have a look on my notices and I will introduce them here. -jkb- 10:30, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
