Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. **All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be very low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)**

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!!

Thanks!

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Šablonų kategorizavimas: "Žymių šablonai"

Šablono aptarimas:Dokumentavimas yra pasiūlymas ([3]) kategoriją Kategorija:Žymių šablonai ([4]) naudoti nebe šabloną Šablonas:Message box naudojančių šablonų, o „skydelių“ surinkimui. Daugeliu atvejų šablonai liktų tie patys (minėtas šablonas naudojamas visų pirma skydeliams kurti), bet reikėtų kiekvieną šabloną kategorijai priskirti atskirai. Ar būtų kokių nors pastabų, prieštaravimų, pasiūlymų ar komentarų šiuo klausimu..?

Taip pat būtų ir kitas, susijęs, klausimas: kaip išvis reikėtų kategorizuoti ir skirstyti šablonus? Šiuo metu kategorijoje Kategorija:Šablonai yra 169 puslapiai (sakyčiau, šimtu šešiasdešimt devyniais puslapiais per daug) ir 28 kategorijos, pavyzdžiui, „Administracinių vienetų šablonai“, „Aptarimų šablonai“, „Football (soccer) navigational boxes (standardized)‎“, „Formatavimo šablonai“. Kategorijos aptarime yra pasvarstymų šia tema (pavyzdžiui, [5])... --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 00:21, 29 sausio 2013 (EET)

Hmm... Atrodo, niekas neprotestuoja... Matyt, reikės po truputį šablonus priskyrinėti kategorijai tiesiogiai... Gal tada kokių minčių ateis..? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 03:43, 5 vasario 2013 (EET)

== Klausimas == Gal galite atnaujinti puslapį apie Saturno palydovus, ten jau senoki duomenys. Vikipedija kitomis kalbomis (prancūzų, rusų) jau nuo šių metų birželio jų su patvirtintomis orbitomis priskaičiuoja daugiau - 62, o ne 60.

Mano sukurtame puslapyje ,,Kauno Dievo Kūno bažnyčia" mano paties daryta bažnyčios nuotrauka, kurią aš ir įkėliau tuo tikslu į šį puslapį kažkodėl yra perkelta į lenkų puslapį tos pačios temos, o jos vietoje panaudota nekokybiška kažkieno kito fotografija. Kodėl taip padaryta ir kodėl nebuvo paklausta mano sutikimo, juolab, kad aš jo ir nebūčiau davęs. Norėčiau, kad tas, kuris šitaip pasielgė atkeltų fotografiją atgal. -- šis nepasirašytas komentaras buvo paliktas naudotojo Stanislovas01 (aptarimas • indėlis) 22:35, 2 vasario 2013‎ (EET)

Pala, pala. Straipsnio Kauno Dievo Kūno bažnyčia ([6]) Jūs lyg ir niekada neredagavote. Sukūrė tą straipsnį naudotojas „Timas“. Ar Jūs esate šio naudotojo klonas (žr. Vikipedija:Naudotojų klonai)..?

Be to, šiaip ar taip, niekas neturi Jūsų atsiklausti dėl Jūsų įkeltos medžiagos naudojimo. Įkeldamas kažką į Vikipediją Jūs automatiškai duodate leidimą su įkeltu objektu daryti iš esmės bet ką. --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 22:46, 2 vasario 2013 (EET)

Naudotojas Timas, buvo mano ankstesnysis vartojo vardas (dėl mano kompiuterio nesklandumų man teko iš naujo visur registruotis ir susikurti naujas paskyras. Tai tikrai ne iš blogos valios), tad šį, kaip ir kitus daugumą istorinių straipsnių sukūrė tas pats asmuo. Tačiau tai nereiškia, jog geros kokybės nuotrauka pakeičiama netikusios kokybės, juolab, kad aš kažkodėl lenkų kalbos ir jos kultūros nepopuliarinu. Juolab, kad daugelio lenkų puslapių istorinė medžiaga yra pateikiama klaidingai, bet ją taisyti jie neleidžia. Tad man dabar nieko kito nelieka, tik man savąją nuotrauką pašalinti. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 00:26, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Dėl klaidų lenkų Vikipedijos straipsniuose siūlau kreiptis į lenkus, mes deja neką tegalime pagelbėti. O dėl lietuviško straipsnio, nuotrauką pakeitė naudotojas Iulius, galite su juo pasitarti, išsiaiškinti pakeitimo priežastis ir kartu nuspręsti, kurią nuotrauką palikti, ar abi. Man asmeniškai jos abi atrodo visai tinkamos. --Nomad (aptarimas) 00:40, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Savo nuotrauką aš jau pašalinau iš lenkų puslapio, nes iš esmės su jais tartis yra vargas, kadangi kiek berašai, jog esi istorikas ir tai, ką rašai yra istoriškai teisinga, tiek jie nereguoja. Tad šiuo atveju, pasielgiau kaip mano nuomone geriausia. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 00:44, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Kas vyksta lenkų Vikipedijoje ne mano reikalas ir ne mano taip sakant jurisdikcija, tai tik draugiški patarimai: „savo“ nuotraukos iš ten pašalinti neturite teisės (nes nuotraukai galioja GDFL licencija) ir toks elgesys tikriausiai bus įvertintas kaip vandalizmas, o nuotrauka atstatyta, ir jei bandysite vėl pašalinti, greičiausiai Jus ten užblokuos. Jei dėl kažkokių priežasčių labai norite ištrinti tą nuotrauką, teks kreiptis į Wikimedia Commons ir bandyti draugiškai susitarti, draugiškai tai reiškia Jūs būsite prašytojo pozicijoje ir Jūsų prašymą galbūt patenkins galbūt ne. --Nomad (aptarimas) 00:47, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Visa tai nieko bendro neturi su reikalu. Nusiųsdamas failiuką Jūs suteikėte teisę juo naudotis visiems be jokio atskiro prašymo. Jei išties norėjote neleisti jos naudoti lenkams, reikėjo jos čia nedėti. Dabar jau šaukštai po pietų, kitą kartą būkite atidesnis.

Dėl straipsnio – irgi beveik tas pats. Jei norėjote, kad straipsnį kiti redaguotų tik taip, kaip Jums patinka, reikėjo nedėti jo į Vikipediją. Yra dar ir taisyklė Vikipedija:Nuosavybė, kuri sako, kad autorius neturi jokių išskirtinių straipsnių į straipsnį.

Galiausiai, dėl vartotojo vardo. Kad būtų išvengta tokių nesusipratimų, minėtą puslapį atitinkamai pažymėsiu šablonu Šablonas:Klonas. Tada visiems bus aišku, kad ten redagavo tas pats žmogus. O gal ir dar kuriuos reikėtų? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 00:50, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Na, ką gi dėkui bent už tokią informaciją. Kiek atmenu visi straipsniai, kuriuos ar rašiau yra mano asmeniniam puslapyje. Jeigu ko neįrašęs, tai greičiausiai neatsimenu. Kas liečia straipsnio redagavimą tai aš jo neredaguoju, taip, kaip aš noriu, o vadovaudamasis tiksliomis žiniomis. Štai galiu pateikti pavyzdį straipsnyje Stanislovas Moravskis mano rašytame yra pažymėta, jog asmuo yra lietuvis, ši informacija remiasi daugybę istoriografinių ir šaltinotyros dokumentų, o tame pačiame lenkų puslapyje teigiama, kad jis lenkas, juolab, kad ta asmenybė niekur nėra savęs įvardijusi lenku. Vadinasi informacija klaidina skaitytojus. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 00:58, 3 vasario 2013 (EET

Nelabai ten matau „daugybės istoriografinių ir šaltinotyros dokumentų“, vos dvi nuorodos ir viena išnaša į šaltinį. --Nomad (aptarimas) 03:32, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Aš ir nesu suinteresuotas dėti visos istoriografijos. Kažkaip vikipedijoj archyvinių šaltinių, bylų ir aprašų niekas nededa. Taip, kad mano mielas, biški atvėsk su sarkazmu. Mat abejoju, ar tu istorikas. Be kita ko, atsižvelk į faktą, jog ten esti surašyta visa įmanoma bibliografija. --Stanislovas01 (aptarimas) 13:47, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Atleiskite, bet norėtųsi priminti, kad ir Jūs pats nesate pateikęs jokių įrodymų, kad esate istorikas, išskyrus savo žodžius. Be to, visai nesvarbu, ar redaguoja istorikas, ar matematikas, ar gatvių šlavėjas (dėl to nėra ir prasmės pateikinėti minėtų įrodymų). Svarbūs yra šaltiniai (žr. Vikipedija:Patikrinamumas), kuriuos šiaip jau pateikti ir patikrinti turėtų būti galima ne tik profesionaliems istorikams. O reikalinga kompetencija, beje, visai nebūtinai koreliuoja su diplomo turėjimu – jau vien dėl to, kad reikalinga yra toli gražu ne tik „profesinė“ kompetencija (žr. Vikipedija:Kompetencija nėra nereikalinga).

Ir būtų patartina, kad naudotumėte ne tiesiai archyvus (kuriuos neretai dar reikia interpretuoti, kas kartais gali pažeisti Vikipedija:Mokslinis naujumas netoleruojamas), o istorikų normaliuose žurnaluose paskelbtus straipsnius ar pan. Ir, aišku, tuos šaltinius nurodytumėte (žr. Vikipedija:Šaltinių nurodymas). --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 14:31, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Pone Stanislovai, panašu, kad supainiojote Vikipediją su savo asmeniniu tinklaraščiu. Vienas pagrindinių skirtumų tarp jų yra tas, kad Vikipedijoje niekam nerūpi kuo jūs esate suinteresuotas. Kitas svarbus skirtumas, kad savo asmeniniame tinklaraštyje galite nurodinėti kitiems „atvėsti“, tuo tarpu taip bendrauti Vikipedijoje su Jums padėti norinčiu Vikipedijos administratoriumi – ne pati geriausia idėja. Grįžtant prie temos, kadangi ten kaip ir nėra šaltinių, ir nesate „suinteresuotas“ jų įdėti, teks kiek labiau atkreipti dėmesį į tą straipsnį. Kas ten žino, gal teisūs lenkai --Nomad (aptarimas) 14:34, 3 vasario 2013 (EET)

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.

Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.

What is Wikidata?

Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.

What is going to happen?

Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?

Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata

Updating the logo for this wiki

New logo

Hello! As part of the update of Wikipedias logos to the new (2010) 3D puzzle globe version, we have noticed that your wiki's current logo is missing, outdated or with wrong translation. We are trying to help Wikipedias get a locally-adapted correct logo, by taking the technical difficulties on us, and in about a week from now we'll be replacing the current logo with the new one shown in this gallery, with explanation. If the translation is wrong, or there's another error in the new logo, or the community disagrees with the update, please update the list of logos or tell us on its talk. Feel free to translate this message and to move/copy/forward it where appropriate. Thanks, Nemo 15:42, 11 kovo 2013 (EET)

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Please, could you translate the following article into Latvian?

Welcome to the Ido Wikipedia. Ido was first known as reformed Esperanto and was created in 1907 after seven years of deliberation by a committee of professors and linguists. You may notice that Ido looks somewhat like Esperanto, but with a number of differences including a complete lack of diacritical marks, the use of the letter 'q', along with many of the words themselves. If you are studying Ido and want to write for our Wikipedia, feel free! There are people here to correct your Ido should you make a mistake. Just use the Šablonas:Revizo tag whenever you think your article could use some grammatical revision. The main site for the Ido language is located here, Ido publications are located here, and the English Wikipedia article on Ido is located here. A complete list of sites in Ido on the internet is located here. Lastly, the main reasons for choosing Ido over the more well-known Esperanto are summed up in this article.

Labscouse/lapskaus/labskovs/labskojs/scouse/Labskaus in the Baltic languages

My apoligies for posing a question in English. The reason is that I do not understand any of the Baltic languages and I have a problem concerning your language.

The theme of labscouse with its counterparts in other languages: Labskaus (English)/ lapskaus (Norwegish) / labskovs (Dänish)/ lapskojs (Swedish) / Labskaus (German) / scouse (English) has an intereresting baltic twist. The english article claims: Latvian Labs kausis, meaning 'good bowl' or hotpot, or Lithuanian labas káuszas, meaning the same. This claim seems to originate in an article in Spiegel (Dabei gibt es zwei baltische Sprachen, in denen das scheinbare Kauderwelsch einen Sinn ergibt: Labs kausis heißt auf Lettisch "gute Schüssel", auf Litauisch sagt man dazu labas káuszas. ). This seems to have travelled world wide. Googling the words just reveals a whole lot of hits originating with Wikipedia articles and I was unable to find relevant dictionaries. The origin of the word in Scandinavia and Germany seems to be clear, the origin of the word is English. The origin of the English "lobscouse" is however unclear. It would be a very interesting story if lobscouse had anything to do with the Baltic countries.

About the etymology I becoming more and more confident that it is a very old loan from english, but other possibilities have to be eliminated. The DWDS states that it comes from English. Duden online says: aus dem Niederdeutschen < englisch lobscouse, Herkunft ungeklärt. It is most certainly a well travelled word as a lot of sailors expressions are. In English it is traced back to 1707 (Oxford English Dictionary is probably the most reliable source to English), and there is uncertainty about the earlier origin of the word. The Springer article seems to caracterize it's own examples as Kauderwelsch and given that the article has given rise to a theory qouted in english and other Wikipedias, it could well be a very good joke, but elimination is the clue and the Springer article could be very original research.

I have not been able to find much about the Baltic words on the net. Google claims that labas means good, but does not recognize labs. Google translates kausis to cup (latvian) will fight (lithuanian), káuszas to eye sockets (lithuanian). I was not really dissapointed, machine translation is more for fun if you know both languages and can enjoy the Kauderwelsch they sometimes produce. I would dearly like some proper translation of the baltic words.

- Are there any online dictionaries available?. The Springer article refers to the words - Labs kausis - and - labas káuszas- and I need a translation of this preferably with an internet link (hopefully reliable) and if possible with a translation to English or German. Google is not a reliable source and I can't very well qoute this forum eighter.

- I would also like to know if the phrases: - Labs kausis - and - labas káuszas - are connected, mean the same thing, have same etymology for instance. Thank you for your time and best wishes from --Stallo (aptarimas) 12:13, 28 kovo 2013 (EET)

In Lithuanian, "labas" is an archaic term for "good". In Latvian, "labs" also means "good". Latvian "kauss" means cup, "kausies" or similar means "will fight" (from lv verb "kauties"). I honestly don't know what lt "kauszas" means or even if it is a word but, if it is, it is likely a cognate. PiRSquared17 (aptarimas) 07:19, 17 vasario 2014 (EET)

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.

What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here? Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Kodėl „perkelti“, o ne „pervardyti“?

Kodėl kiekviename Vikipedijos straipsnyje esanti straipsnio pervardijimo funkcija įvardyta „perkelti“, o ne „pervardyti“? Be to, ne „pervadinti“, o „pervardyti“ (http://dz.lki.lt/word/pervardyti/). Ir prie to pačio: ar nėra galimybės pakeisti datos formato į lietuvišką (dabar, pasirašant, rašoma „12:50, 18 balandžio 2013 (EEST)“, nors lietuviškai būtų „12:50, 2013 m. balandžio 18 d. (EEST)“). Shakurazz (aptarimas) 12:54, 18 balandžio 2013 (EEST)

Galiu paspėlioti kaip atsirado perkelti (turbūt nuo angliško move) bet gal iš tiesų geriau tiktų pervadyti? --Nomad (aptarimas) 19:36, 4 liepos 2013 (EEST)

Hello!

There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.

We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

Thanks, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 07:59, 24 balandžio 2013 (EEST)

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) is here

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. We have now enabled the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) a month ago and two days ago on the English Wikipedia. Today all the remaining Wikipedias followed.

What does having phase 2 enabled here mean? You are now able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!) The current state is just the beginning though. It will be extended based on feedback we get from you now.

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p159}} in the wiki text of the article on Wikimedia Foundation. This will return “San Francisco” as that is the headquarter location of the non-profit.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:headquarter location}} instead of {{#property:p159}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can test it on test2 if you don't want to do it in an article here.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata To stay up-to-date on everything happening around Wikidata please subscribe to the newsletter that is delivered weekly to subscribed user’s talk pages.

We are excited about taking yet another step towards allowing all Wikipedias share structured data and collect and curate it together. --Lydia Pintscher 22:13, 24 balandžio 2013 (EEST)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

(Distributed via global message delivery 06:54, 30 balandžio 2013 (EEST). Wrong page? Correct it here.)

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.

Techninės naujienos

Kaip nurodyta aukščiau, kiekvieną savaitę turėtume gauti technines naujienas apie tai, kas padaryta su MediaWiki. Tam reikėtų kažkurį puslapį užregistruoti m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors. Klausimas yra paprastas: kurį? Galima būtų šitą arba kokį naują. Pranašumai:

• Šitas puslapis:
  • Puslapis labiau matomas.
• Naujas puslapis:
  • Naujienos eina kas savaitę, tad šį puslapį teks nuolat archyvuoti. Naują specializuotą puslapį archyvuoti būtų lengviau.

Universal Language Selector will be enabled on 2013-07-09

On July 9, 2013, Universal Language Selector (ULS) will be enabled on this wiki. The ULS provides a flexible way to configure and deliver language settings like interface language, fonts, and input methods (keyboard mappings). Making it available here is the last phase of making ULS available on all Wikimedia wikis.

Pywikipedia is migrating to git

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly. There is a manual for doing that and a blog post explaining about this change in non-technical language. If you have question feel free to ask in mw:Manual talk:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit, mailing list, or in the IRC channel. Best Amir (via Global message delivery). 16:31, 23 liepos 2013 (EEST)

VisualEditor and your Wikipedia

(Please translate this message) (Please translate this message in Lithuanian) thank you !!!!

Greetings,

The Wikimedia Foundation will soon turn on VisualEditor for all users, all the time on your Wikipedia. Right now your Wikipedia does not have any local documents on VisualEditor, and we hope that your community can change that. To find out about how you can help with translations visit the TranslationCentral for VisualEditor and read the easy instructions on bringing information to your Wikipedia. The User Guide and the FAQ are very important to have in your language.

We want to find out as much as we can from you about VisualEditor and how it helps your Wikipedia, and having local pages is a great way to start. We also encourage you to leave feedback on Mediawiki where the community can offer ideas, opinions, and point out bugs that may still exist in the software that need to be reported to Bugzilla. If you are able to speak for the concerns of others in English on MediaWiki or locally I encourage you to help your community to be represented in this process.

If you can help translate the user interface for VisualEditor to your language, you can help with that as well. Translatewiki has open tasks for translating VisualEditor. A direct link to translate the user interface is here. You can see how we are doing with those translations here. You need an account on Translatewiki to translate. This account is free and easy to create.

If we can help your community in any way with this process, please let me know and I will do my best to assist your Wikipedia with this |exciting development. You can contact me on my meta talk page or by email. You can also contact Patrick Earley for help with translations and documents on Mediawiki. We look forward to working with you to bring the VisualEditor experience to your Wikipedia! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:08, 30 liepos 2013 (EEST)

Protestai dėl „VisualEditor“..?

Kaip matome ([22]), ruošiamasi paleisti mūsų Vikipedijoje „VisualEditor“. Iš pirmo žvilgsnio gali pasirodyti, kad tai – visai nekalta priemonė, bet pažiūrėjus į, en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/RFC ([23]), de:Wikipedia:Umfragen/VisualEditor Opt-in ([24]), en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Default State RFC ([25]) ar pan., toks įspūdis gali greitai dingti… Kaip ten nurodyta, priemonė yra lėta, nelanksti, turinti maža galimybių, su aibėmis programinių klaidų. Ir dar stumiama Vikimedijos Fondo kaip „buldozeriu“. Nepaisant to, kad jų pačių atliktas testas parodė, jog naujokai (tie patys, kuriems ši priemonė visų pirma skirta) su ja redaguoja mažiau (m:Research:VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors/Results – [26] – „Newcomers with VE enabled performed less wiki-work and spent less time editing overall. They were also marginally less likely than users with the wikitext editor to eventually save an edit.“)… Aišku, Angliškoje Vikipedijoje ši priemonė buvo įdiegta nė nesulaukus šio testo rezultatų…

Taigi, ar ruošim kokį „protestą“? Balsavimą, kaip nurodytos Vikipedijos..? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 02:14, 6 rugpjūčio 2013 (EEST)

Būtų gerai tos nesąmonės nematyt mūsų Vikipedijoje. Ką konkrečiai galime/turime padaryti? Surengti balsavimą, ar jo norime? --Nomad (aptarimas) 09:24, 6 rugpjūčio 2013 (EEST)

Daug ką jie prastūminėja savo nuožiūra: globaliai pakeitė wiki dizainą kur kas mažiau patogiu (laimei, šis atstatomas nustatymuose), prigalvojo tuos žaidimus su wikidata, pastoviai kaitalioja interfeiso vertimus, todėl juos nuolat reikia versti iš naujo, dabar tas „visual editor“, kuris jau en. ir ru. wiki nervina, kai pakliūna paspausti vis ne ant tos redagavimo nuorodos. Siūlyčiau pasipriešinti, jei tai įmanoma. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 11:08, 6 rugpjūčio 2013 (EEST)

Bet tai kaip tai padaryti? Siūlau daryti balsavimą. Gal kas nuo to pasikeis. --Felicilijonas (aptarimas) 11:56, 6 rugpjūčio 2013 (EEST)

Kas nors sekate naujienas, kokia dabar padėtis? Atrodo vis dar leidžia redaguoti senuoju būdu, bent jau lietuviškoje --Nomad (aptarimas) 15:05, 18 rugsėjo 2013 (EEST)

Na, Hugo davė atkirtį Fondui ([27])… Po to tikro balsavimo būtinybė jau sumažėjo… Po šito didesnių naujienų kaipo ir nesigirdėjo… --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 19:05, 22 rugsėjo 2013 (EEST)

Na ką gi – atkirčiai ir protestai lieka sau – Vikimedija vis vien padarė savo. Bent jau tuos redagavimo mygtukus kaip nors sukeitus, kad atsidarytų įprastai vikipedinis redagavimas… Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 21:06, 13 sausio 2014 (EET)

Kaip sulietuvinti visus (edit source, preview, changes ir kitus) mygtukus? Šlykščiai atrodo angliški užrašai. --Felicilijonas (aptarimas) 21:15, 13 sausio 2014 (EET)

OK. Please any administrator revert this nationalist move. I know that user.

If this change is correct that's not a problem. I just wanted to inform you. Regards...--Esc2003 (aptarimas) 21:13, 18 rugsėjo 2013 (EEST)

According to edit comments, Lithuanian wikipedia is going to keep the Lithuanized form of Stepanakert as the name of the article, because that's how it's called in vast majority of different Wikipedias. If you feel it's wrong, please post your arguments to the article's talk page. As for the Chauahuasachca guy, we normally do not block people based on their activities in Wikipedias other than Lithuanian, though it's more of a general guideline than a rule. For proven vandals we may very well make an exception once in a while. --Nomad (aptarimas) 22:50, 20 rugsėjo 2013 (EEST)

I am happy to announce that we have scheduled this Wikipedia to receive Notifications (formerly called Echo) on 8 October.

Notifications is an improvement on how you can view and receive messages on Wikipedia and track how your contributions have been effected, as well as when you are mentioned on a talk page. Notifications is now being used on over two dozen Wikipedias and we're happy to add this latest group. You can find more information in the help page.

• There are still three priorities to double check for translations to make sure you get the best experience possible:

• Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Notifications help on mediawiki.org. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia. You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.

Speak up about the trademark registration of the Community logo.

Hi all,

Please join the consultation about the Community logo that represents Meta-Wiki: m:Community Logo/Request for consultation.

This community consultation was commenced on September 24. The following day, two individuals filed a legal opposition against the registration of the Community logo.

The question is whether the Wikimedia Foundation should seek a collective membership mark with respect to this logo or abandon its registration and protection of the trademark.

We want to make sure that everyone get a chance to speak up so that we can get clear direction from the community. We would therefore really appreciate the community's help in translating this announcement from English so that everyone is able to understand it.

Introducting Beta Features

(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.

Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.

Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.

Here are the first features you can test this week:

• Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen
• VisualEditor Formulæ (for wikis with VisualEditor) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
• Typography Refresh — make text more readable (coming Thursday)

Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.

After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.

Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:18, 5 lapkričio 2013 (EET)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

The Wikimedia legal team invites you to participate in the development of the new Wikimedia trademark policy.

The current trademark policy was introduced in 2009 to protect the Wikimedia marks. We are now updating this policy to better balance permissive use of the marks with the legal requirements for preserving them for the community. The new draft trademark policy is ready for your review here, and we encourage you to discuss it here.

We would appreciate if someone would translate this message into your language so more members of your community can contribute to the conversation.

Thanks,
Yana & Geoff

Wikiproject:EU. Hundreds of new articles about LT culture on Catalan Wiki

Sorry for writing in English. Just wanted you to tell that on Catalan wiki we are doing hundreds of articles about Lithuania and its culture, as part of our EU wikiproject. See them all here (open the months template to see the evolution). I've seen that now most of LT articles are en English, Lt and...Catalan. Just wanted to share it with you. While doing this we are discovering many things about your lovely culture. Best :).--Kippelboy (aptarimas) 08:32, 10 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Bendruomenė

Sveiki, ar čia man taip atrodo, ar tiesiog mūsų Vikipedijoje kiekvienas dirba kas sau?

T.y. vienas pataiso kelis straipsnius, kitas stebi vandalizmą ir pan. Kodėl nėra jokio aktyvumo iš administratorių ir nariu? Galėtų būti koks nors skype pokalbių kanalas ar kas, ar čia mano išsigalvojama utopija ir tiesiog iš tiesų niekas neturi laiko ir pan.?

P.S. net ta pati savaitės iniciatyva labai jau lėta P.P.S. čia ne kritika, o pastebėjimai

Gerbiamasis, dalyvaujate viki nuo 2006 m., o kada Jus pagaliau išvysime Aktyviausių sąraše? Čia kas dėl lėtumo ir aktyvumo... EN viki turite puslapį ir vos kelis redagavimus, o juk ten galite į valias pabendrauti vikimytuose, pokalbių kan. ir t.t. Per kepurę negausite, jei pats pakeisite savaitės iniciatyvą jai sustojus (pvz., aš taip dariau kelis kartus). Nemanau, kad mūsų vikinautai apsnūdo – gal blaškosi po akropolius dovanų, toks laikas. Tiesiog darykite. Pagarbiai, --Vilensija (aptarimas) 05:51, 17 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Pagal mano ankstesnę patirtį, kai dar dalyvavau Vikipedijoje tekdavo skirti apie 80% laiko kovai su vandalizmu ir tik likęs laikas buvo skiriamas produktyviam darbui. Šiuo metų Enciklopedijoje Lietuvai ir pasauliui galiu produktyviam darbui skirti 80% laiko, likusį skirdamas sistemos priežiūrai ir konsultacijoms. Vpovilaitis Aptarimas Indėlis 18:11, 17 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Vandalizmo lygis, turbūt, tiesiogiai proporcingas enciklopedijos skaitomumui. O kurti Vikipedijos klonus, kai net pati lietuviška Vikipedija nėra jau tokia ypatingai populiari, IMHO yra šiek tiek laiko švaistymas... GiW (aptarimas) 16:52, 20 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Na jei kalbant apie ELIP tai joje tėra šiuo metu apie 150 000 straipsnių, kurie pradžioje buvo įkelti iš Vikipedijos, o likusieji 1 520 000 straipsnių iš 1 670 000 visų ELIP straipsnių niekuomet Vikipedijoje net nebuvo. Todėl pasakoti, kad ELIP yra Vikipedijos klonas nėra visai korektiška. -- Vpovilaitis Aptarimas Indėlis 18:31, 30 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

O Enciklopedijoje Lietuvai ir pasauliui straipsniai iš lietuviškosios Vikipedijos yra įkeliami? --Zygiskr (aptarimas) 21:53, 17 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Į Enciklopediją Lietuvai ir pasauliui (ELIP) straipsniai iš Lietuviškos Vikipedijos buvo sukelti 2012 m. pavasari. Pagal poreikį nauji straipsniai taip pat gali būti perkelti į ELIP, o taip pat išplėstus atnaujinti. Naujų straipsnių perkėlimą, jei jų būtų daug, galima būtų atlikti automatiškai tik reiktų turėti tokių straipsnių sąrašą. O perkeliant atskirų straipsnių papildymus reiktų nagrinėti, ar tie straipsniai nebuvo jau atnaujinti ELIP, todėl geriausia daryti rankiniu būdu. -- Vpovilaitis Aptarimas Indėlis 10:20, 18 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Dėl knygų paieškos

Knygų paieška man labai patogus dalykas rasti knygą, ypač angliškoje Vikipedijoje. Tačiau kodėl neina to padaryti lietuviškoje: Knygų paieška Turiu omenyje LIBIS katalogą, kodėl nėra padaryta, kad būtų galima pateikti užklausą ir ieškoti ten knygos, o tik atidaroma paieškos forma?--Zygiskr (aptarimas) 00:56, 19 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

VisualEditor coming to Lithuanian Wikipedia

Hello. (Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!)

VisualEditor is coming to the Lithuanian Wikipedia; the chosen date is January 13th. VisualEditor is software in development to allow people to edit pages in MediaWiki without needing to learn wikitext syntax (like typing [[ and ]] to link to another page). It is already available and in use on some Wikipedia projects. Please see mw:Help:VisualEditor/FAQ for more information.

When this software arrives, you will have the option to use it or to use the current wikitext editor. When you press "edit", you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "edit source". For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

It is important that editors on this wiki test the new editor before it is deployed. This would let us know about any serious issues specific to this Wikipedia before the rollout. To enable VisualEditor now, go to the "Beta tab", and check the box for VisualEditor.Please let us know if you find any problems. If you're willing and able, please report the issue in Bugzilla in the "VisualEditor" product. If you would prefer not, please explain the issue you found on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org. If you notice major issues impacting your project after the rollout, we would appreciate it if you could let us know directly. Please leave a note on my talk page or, if it’s an emergency, like an unexpected bug causing widespread issues, reach out to James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org for immediate attention.

We would also appreciate help with translation with the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. See VisualEditor TranslationCentral for general information. To translate the user interface, start by creating an account at TranslateWiki. Once your account request is approved, all you need to do is select your language from this list. This will give you a list of individual lines and paragraphs. The English original will be on one side, with the option to "edit" on the other. Pressing "edit" will open an edit window where you can work.

The User Guide is another important document. To translate this, simply go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select "translate this page". Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. If you want to help with translations and would like to talk about how, please leave a message for me on my talk page. I'm a community liaison for VE, so I'll be around to help this community. You can also use Notifications to ping me ;)

Thank you, and happy editing! --Elitre (WMF) (aptarimas) 01:18, 19 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

VisualEditor office hours

Hello. I apologize for writing in English. Please help translate this message so that others in your community can read it. :)

The engineering department has already planned office hours in the next months to discuss VisualEditor. The first one will be held on January 15th, at 2300 UTC; the second will be held a week later, on January 22nd, at 2300 UTC. Please join as Product Manager James Forrester discusses VisualEditor and upcoming plans. Logs will be posted on Meta after each office hour completes. (If office hours are heavily attended, it can be difficult to get to all questions, but if you want to ask a question and cannot attend or do not speak English, please let us know your question here by the day before and a community liaison will present it among possible discussion topics).

We’ll post a reminder close to the date as well.

I'd also encourage you to engage in translations! Here are the links to complete the User Guide and the interface. There's still no main page for VE in Lithuanian, let's make this happen!

Regards, --Elitre (WMF) (aptarimas) 23:59, 27 gruodžio 2013 (EET)

Reminder: VisualEditor is coming to this wiki on 2014-01-13

Hello, everyone. Again, please excuse my use of English: I would be very grateful if you would translate this message so everyone can read it.

VisualEditor is coming to this project on Monday, 13 January 2014, probably around 1900 UTC. VisualEditor is software in development to allow people to edit pages in MediaWiki without needing to learn wikitext syntax (like typing [[ and ]] to link to another page). It is already in use on more than 100 Wikipedia projects (please see mw:Help:VisualEditor/FAQ for more information).

On January 13th, you will have a choice between using VisualEditor or the current wikitext editor. When you press "Edit", you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press "Edit source". For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

We hope that this software will be useful to people in your community, and we really need your help to make it better! If you have time, please test VisualEditor now and let us know about any serious issues specific to this Wikipedia before the rollout. To test VisualEditor now, go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and select "VisualEditor". If you're willing and able, please report any issue in Bugzilla in the "VisualEditor" product. Alternatively, please explain the issue you found on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org. If you notice major issues affecting this Wikipedia, please let us know directly. Please leave a note on my talk page or, if it’s an emergency, like an unexpected bug causing widespread issues, reach out to James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org for immediate attention.

We also need help with translation, both of the pages about VisualEditor and of the user interface. See VisualEditor TranslationCentral for information on what needs to be translated.

• To translate the user interface, you need an approved account at TranslateWiki. Then click here. This will give you a list of individual lines and paragraphs. The English original will be on one side, with the option to "edit" on the other. Pressing "edit" will open an edit window where you can work. According to the current statistics, the interface is currently 48% translated.
• To translate the user guide, simply click here. If you want to help with translations and need help with it, please leave a message for me on my talk page. According to the current statistics, the user guide is currently 25% translated for this language. The translated (or mostly translated) user guide also needs to be copied over here, so editors here can find it.
• There is still no presentation page for VE in this language. It is actually another very useful resource for Lithuanian editors, so if you want to create it, click here to start. When the translation is over, contents can be copied here at Vikipedija:VisualEditor to replace the current page.

Thank you for your help, and happy editing! -- Elitre (WMF) (aptarimas) 23:01, 7 sausio 2014 (EET)

PS: remember that next week you can also meet the VE team on IRC: just see my thread above for details and questions.

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 08:47, 16 sausio 2014 (EET)

Feedback request: VisualEditor special character inserter

A special character inserter tool is available in mw:VisualEditor now. If you have time, please give it a try and let developers know what you think.

The "insert" pulldown on the task bar of VisualEditor will lead you to the 'Special character' tool.

This is the Special character inserter. Your feedback on this tool is particularly important.

The developers would appreciate it if you would leave them a message with your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on Mediawiki.org. It is really important that the developers hear from as many editors as possible. Thank you, Elitre (WMF) (aptarimas) 19:37, 24 sausio 2014 (EET)

Photos taken of members of the European Parliament

From Monday 3 February to Thursday 6 February a group of about 50 Wikimedians were present in the European Parliament in Strasbourg to take photos of members of the European Parliament. From about half of all members (766) of the parliament there have been photos taken during these days. Still a lot of them have to be uploaded to Commons. Also from members from Lithuania photos have been taken. A part from the pictures already have been added to articles on the various language Wikipedias, but many not. Please help us with that. If you add a photo in one language, it would be recommended to add the photo also to the articles in other languages.

The category with photos can be found on Commons here and includes also the other photos that have been taken by the group members during the project in Strasbourg.

On all the photos there is a special template to mark this project and gives more information about it. We would like to have this template translated into at least all the 24 official languages of the European Union and if possible also in other languages spoken in the EU. Can anyone translate this template from English (or German/French) to Lithuanian?

• You can do that by copying the contents of Commons:Template:WIKI loves parliaments/European Parliament 2014/en to Commons:Template:WIKI loves parliaments/European Parliament 2014/lt and translate the parts behind the = . Thank you!

In the past weeks on several Wikipedias users started a project to write all missing articles at least from the country a language is mostly spoken in, but certainly also from all other countries of the European Union. All members of the European Parliament have an article on at least one language version of Wikipedia, but on a lot of language versions their articles are missing and still need to be written. This writing project currently happens on for example the Dutch Wikipedia.

The project page for having been at the European Parliament is at Commons at Commons:Wikipedians in European Parliament. The project is part of a larger project to take photos from members of national and regional parliaments. In the past years Wiki loves parliaments was for example active in the state parliaments in Germany. Which parliament shall be next?

Thanks for the help! Greetings - Romaine (aptarimas) 17:09, 9 vasario 2014 (EET)

Thank you Orionus for translating the template! Romaine (aptarimas) 15:27, 11 vasario 2014 (EET)

Upcoming office hours for VisualEditor

Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know, so you could mark your calendars if interested, that there are two IRC office hours scheduled to discuss VisualEditor in February.

The first will be held on Saturday February 15 at 1700 UTC and the second will be held on Sunday February 16 at 00:00 UTC. (See Meta for time conversion links.)

Logs will be posted on meta after each office hour completes. You'll find them, along with logs for older office hours on the topic, in a category at Meta.

Please see the main page for office hours on Meta for more information on how to join in. Thanks, and have a nice week, --Elitre (WMF) (aptarimas) 15:31, 10 vasario 2014 (EET)

More special character inserter feedback needed

Hi all, this is a request for feedback on the special character inserter. James Forrester, the Product Manager, has some specific questions for you! Please translate this to make sure more people in this community understand it.

The feature will help people who do not have access to a good character inserter on their hardware to be able to insert special characters. What we have right now, as you know, is just a very basic tool. It can be customized at each Wikipedia by creating a local page (so that each project could have a local version with the characters it wants). But we want to think about ways it might be improved. For that, we'd appreciate your input. Please try out the character inserter and think about how it would best (or would not!) work for you.

The "insert" pulldown on the task bar of VisualEditor will lead you to the 'Special character' tool.

This is the Special character inserter as it appears on many wikis. (Some may have customized it.) Your feedback on this tool is particularly important.

Issues you might consider:

• Should we just show the entire set of characters provided in the WikiEditor toolbar in the wikitext editor?
  • If we do, will it be overwhelming? How will you find the character you want? What should we do for users without enough space to display it?
• Should there be a "priority" section for the ~10 characters that are needed most often? Is it OK if you need an extra click to go beyond the limited set?
  • How should the sections be split up? Should they be nested? Ordered?
  • How should the sections be navigated? Should there be a drop-down? A nested menu?
• Should the character inserter be statically available until dismissed? Should it hover near the mouse? Should it go away on every selection or 10 seconds after a selection with no subsequent ones?
• The toolbar already has too many options – how do we simplify it?

But we are open to any thoughts on how the special character inserter can best be developed.

Please leave your feedback on the Mediawiki feedback page or, if you'd prefer, leave it here.

Thank you again for your work with VisualEditor and for any feedback you can provide! --Elitre (WMF) (aptarimas) 16:51, 12 vasario 2014 (EET)

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

• Summary of changes and FAQ
• Discussion page for feedback or questions
• Post on blog.wikimedia.org

Important VisualEditor announcement

Please help translate this message in your language. Thanks :)

Hi, everybody. As liaisons are spreading out to work on other Wikimedia Foundation products and VisualEditor has been active for some time, we are planning to make a few changes to the way liaisons support VisualEditor.

• We are publishing a global newsletter (in English). Sign up at Meta! The bulletin will include major announcements and updates, so that you will see fewer posts and translation requests by us on this page. We are going to deliver the next issue here as soon as it is available; to receive the following ones as well, please add this page or your talk page (or both) to the delivery list. You can even volunteer to translate the newsletter locally.
• We encourage you to leave feedback about VisualEditor on the relevant page at mediawiki.org, because that's the place the whole liaison team is going to monitor for centralized feedback from most wikis. We always appreciate community members' assistance! If you see VE-related enquiries on your Wikipedia that you can answer or that you can translate and post to mediawiki.org, that would be great!
• We invite you to discuss VisualEditor's recent development and plans ahead during the next office hour on Monday, May 19th at 18:00 UTC with James Forrester (Product Manager). If you are not able to attend but have a question for James, you can leave your question at mediawiki.org or on my talk page by the day before, and I will try to get a response. We plan to continue these monthly sessions as long as there is community interest.
• We remind you that the current ways to reach the Community Liaisons are listed at our respective user pages, and that a talk page message is always welcome and a good way to get/keep in touch.

Thanks for your attention! --User:Elitre (WMF) 17:51, 9 gegužės 2014 (EEST)

Kur randasi San Marinas

Laba diena,

Būtų įdomu sužinoti kokiais šaltiniais remiantis, Vikipedija skelbia, kad San Marinas Italijoje? Kiek man žinoma bent jau nuo XXa. pabaigos Italijoje buvo tik viena beveik autonominė mini valstybė Vatikanas. O San Marinas, besiribojanti su išorinėm sienom, manau turėtų būti prie Prancūzijos. Tai visiškai nepriklausoma valstybė. Gal ji turėtų būti Andoros vietoje? O, kur tada Andora????:)

Media Viewer

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 00:29, 24 gegužės 2014 (EEST)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

• local "Įkelti failą" restricted to the "Administratoriai" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation’s Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages – and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on „Disable Media Viewer“ at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. – Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 00:54, 20 birželio 2014 (EEST)

Kas čia per išradimas ir kur protestuoti dėl šios nesąmonės? Kodėl reikėjo pasirūpinti, kad būtų sunkiau prieiti prie paveikslėlių aprašymų? --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 23:28, 22 birželio 2014 (EEST)

Na, kaip žinia Vikimedija mėgsta viską globaliai suvienodinti, taip kad protestuoti vargu ar pavyks. Tą netikusią peržvalgos priemonę galima išjungti nustatymuose. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 00:02, 23 birželio 2014 (EEST)

Atrodo, dėl šito paveikslėlius netrukus čia galės siųsti tik administratoriai ([28], [29])... --Martynas Patasius (aptarimas) 02:01, 3 liepos 2014 (EEST)

Ištryniau ltwiki iš sąrašo, gal paliks mus ramybėje. Tai būtų didelė klaida, nes Vikiteka nepriima ne tik fairuse paveikslėlių, bet ir paties darytų šiuolaikinių paminklų, o kartais net statinių nuotraukų, tad taip būtų užkirstas kelias didžiajai daliai naudotojų, kurie nėra administratoriai (dauguma administratorių čia vis vien niekuom neužsiima) įkelti savo ar straipsniams reikalingas nuotraukas. Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 10:42, 3 liepos 2014 (EEST)

Vikimedijos fondas turi savo tikslus ir jiems mažosios vikipedijos tik tiek svarbios, kad surinkti informaciją ir ją išversti į anglų kalbą, o ne tam, kad būtų sukurtos normalios enciklopedijos kiekviena kalba. Tai rodo pastarieji Vikimedijos fondo veiksmai, net nukreipti prieš antrą pagal dydį vikipediją. Šie požymiai jau ne pirmiena. Juos jau pastebėjau 2012 m. kai buvo pradėta kurti Enciklopedija Lietuvai ir pasauliui, kuomet masiškai buvo pašalinta didelis skaičius Vikitekoje buvusių iš Lietuvikos vikipedijos įkeltų vaizdų. Dalį vaizdų pavyko iš Vikitekos išsaugoti į ELIP prieš juos pašalinant iš Vikitekos. O dalis taip ir dingo. Taigi jei norisi dirbti lietuviškai kultūrai, o ne angliškai, kurią diktuoja Vikimedijos fondas primesdamas savo taisykles, tai pagalvokite apie prisijungimą prie ELIP. -- Vpovilaitis Aptarimas Indėlis 14:56, 13 rugsėjo 2014 (EEST)

Sveiki

Lenkijos Respublikos ambasada Vilniuje norėtų organizuoti Vikipedijoje įrašų apie Lenkiją lietuvių kalba konkursą, kuriame nugalėtoju taptų daugiausiai pateikęs įdomiausių straipsnių apie Lenkiją autorius. Dalyvavimo konkurse sąlyga – savo sukurtų ir/arba papildytų ir/arba išverstų straipsnių pateikimas su nuoroda į juos. Konkursui teikiami pavadinimai turi būti betarpiškai susiję su Lenkija, pvz. su žinomais lenkais, lenkų kultūra, mokslu, tradicijomis, istorija ir t.t. Norėtume organizuoti konkursą bendradarbiaudami su Vikipedijos lietuvių visuomene. Man nepavyko rasti Vikipedijos tinklalapyje jokios Lietuvos organizacijos, todėl kreipiuosi į Jus kaip administratorius su prašymu bendradarbiauti.

Kviečiu jungtis prie Enciklopedijos Lietuvai ir pasauliui

Enciklopedija kuriama naudojantis atvirojo kodo Viki technologija, kuri leidžia enciklopedijos straipsnius rašyti kiekvienam užsiregistravusiam dalyviui, tačiau paruošti straipsniai bus peržiūrimi tos srities specialistų arba tematikos atsakingų redaktorių.

Kviečiame visus norinčius įsijungti į bendrą veiklą ir net tapti savo tematikos redaktoriais. Enciklopedija Lietuvai ir Pasauliui pagrindinį dėmesį skirs savanoriškumui, kuris bus ne pasyviai stebimas, bet tai skatinama ir organizuojama: ieškomi įvairių sričių specialistai, vykdomas metodinis planavimas ir veiklos organizavimas.

Redaguoti gali kiekvienas užsiregistravęs, pastebėjęs klaidą straipsnio turinyje. Šie nedideli apribojimai taikomi tam, kad „Enciklopedijos Lietuvai ir Pasauliui“ straipsnių turinys būtų patikimas, pagrįstas šaltiniais ir apsaugotas nuo vandalizmo, ko deja, nepavyksta išvengti kitoms atvirojo kodo enciklopedijoms.

Enciklopedija Lietuvai ir Pasauliui siekia vienoje vietoje sujungti informaciją, skelbtą spausdintose ir virtualiose enciklopedijose, specializuotuose žinynuose, mokslo darbuose, žodynuose, bibliotekų ir muziejų saugyklose, kuri gali būti skelbiama pagal Lietuvos Respublikos autorių teisių ir gretutinių teisių įstatymą ir/ar pagal Creative Commons autorinių teisių licencijas. Šios Enciklopedijos pagrindu netgi galėtų tapti Didysis lietuvių kalbos žodynas, kurio autorinių teisių savininku skelbiasi Lietuvių kalbos institutas, nors jį sudarant dalyvavo tūkstančiai ne tik instituto mokslininkų. Enciklopedijos forma ir galimybė taikyti vidines nuorodas bei kategorijas suteiktų visiškai kitas galimybes skelbiant Lietuvių liaudies pasakas, dainas, šokius ir kitą kultūros paveldą, leistų atverti jį plačiosioms masėms. Atskiroje Enciklopedijos svetainėje autoriai galės skelbti ir savo mokslinius darbus, kurie kaip šaltinis galės būti naudojami rašant Enciklopedijos straipsnius.

Enciklopedijos Lietuvai ir Pasauliui straipsnius naudojant kituose darbuose būtina kaip šaltinį nurodyti Enciklopediją, o jeigu panaudojama iliustracija – nurodyti ir jos autorių.

Prisiimant atsakomybę ir supratimą, kad už lietuviškos informacijos rūpestį ir saugojimą Žemės rutulyje atsakomybė ir pareiga yra skirta Lietuvai - Enciklopedijos Lietuvai ir Pasauliui medžiaga bus saugoma talpiuose Lietuvoje esančiuose serveriuose.

Šiuo metu Enciklopedijos Lietuvai ir Pasauliui straipsnių kiekis jau viršijo 2 250 000 (Jau virš dviejų milijonų dviejų šimtų penkiasdešimt tūkstančių!!!!) (žr.). Enciklopedija Lietuvai ir Pasauliui savo straipsniu skaičiumi smarkiai auga.

-- Vpovilaitis Aptarimas Indėlis 17:15, 4 liepos 2014 (EEST)

• Reiktų teisybės dėlei paminėti, kad didžioji dalis strapsnių tai kopijos iš angliškos vidipedijos, kur nukopijuota teksto viena eilutė ir su botu pridėta kalnas nuorodų. O informacijos apie aprašomą patį objektą nėra. Pvz. [30], [31], [32], [33]. Kiekvienas kuria savo enciklopediją kaip nori... Ta-Ntalas (aptarimas) 14:51, 12 rugpjūčio 2014 (EEST)

• • Na jei jau teisybės dėlei, tai kaip suprantu Ta-Ntalas dar neprisidėjo prie Enciklopedijos Lietuvai ir pasauliui (ELIP) kūrimo, todėl ir nežino pagal kokius šaltinius yra kuriama ELIP. Todėl yra atleistina, kad yra manoma, kad ELIP kuriama pagal anglišką Vikipediją. Tačiau iš tiesu angliška Vikipedija yra beveik nenaudojama, pagrindiniai šaltiniai yra didžiausios tarptautinės taksonominės svetainės, gaila bet angliška vikipedija tokia nėra. Angliškoje vikipedijoje yra tiktai apie 3-5% grybų rūšių, kuriems yra pradėti straipsniai ELIP. Taip pat reikia pažymėti. kad ELIP kuriami straipsniai remiantis ne vienos kurios nors pasirinktos taksonomijos pagrindu, o visos eilės taksonomijų pagrindu (GBIF, COL, EOL, ITIS, ...), apibendrinant jose sukauptą informaciją. Aišku, kad Daugumoje straipsnių dar trūksta informacijos apie patį aprašomą objektą, tačiau ta informacija visada gali būti papildyta. Todėl laukiame prisidedant. -- Vpovilaitis Aptarimas Indėlis 14:35, 13 rugsėjo 2014 (EEST)

Short medical translations

Short medical translations Wikiproject Medicine over at the English Wikipedia has been working hard since 2011 together with Translators Without Borders, in order to translate high quality medical content into over 100 different languages. In 2014 we also started translating into a larger number of languages, as well as trying to get smaller simplified articles out there faster. The idea is to translate the lede or introduction, and any article that is translated has to be checked so that it is correct by at least one medical doctor. Currently we need integrators and assistance in reaching out to see which articles should be translated, and which shouldn't. If you want to help out and categorize articles as Do translate or Don't Translate head over to : WP:RTT simple.

SVARBU: Administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimas

Sveiki. Neseniai global community consensus buvo priimta nauja taisyklė dėl „aukštesnių teisių“ nuėmimo (jūsų bendruomenei buvo pranešta apie šią diskusiją). Pagal šią taisyklę, ūkvedžiai peržiūri administratorių aktyvumą mažesnėse viki. Kiek mes žinome, jūsų viki neturi formalaus proceso „aukštesnių teisių“ nuėmimui neaktyvumo atveju. Tai reiškia, kad ūkvedžiai čia pasirūpins tuo pagal naująjį administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimą.

Mes nustatėme, kad šie naudotojai gali būti laikomi neaktyviais pagal pasirinktus neaktyvumo kriterijus (jokių pakeitimų ar registruojamų specialiųjų veiksmų per daugiau, nei 2 metus):

1. Povilasz (administratorius)
2. Saulyte (administratorius)
3. Siggis (administratorius)
4. Tractor (biurokratas, administratorius)

Šie naudotojai greitai gaus pranešimus, prašančius juos inicijuoti bendruomenės diskusiją, jei jie norėtų išlaikyti kai kurias ar visas papildomas teises. Jei naudotojai niekaip nesureaguos, ūkvedžiai nuims jų papildomas teises.

Tačiau, jei jūs kaip bendruomenė norėtumėte turėti savą aktyvumo kontrolės procesą vietoje globalaus, jei norėtumėte priimti kitokį sprendimą dėl šių neaktyvių papildomų teisių turėtojų, ar jau turite taisykles, kurių nepastebėjome, prašome informuoti ūkvedžius Meta-Wiki, kad mes žinotume, jog nereikia tęsti šio patikrinimo.

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Change in renaming process

Part or all of this message may be in English. Please help translate if possible.

Single-user login (SUL) finalisation's goal is so that every Wikimedia editor has a single, recognized global account with one username across all projects. As you may know, after a long delay, it's now underway as an effort between bureaucrats, stewards, and Wikimedia Foundation engineers. This will also allow for development of cross-wiki tools like global notifications and watchlists. There is no set date for the completion of single-user login finalization at this time.

The process involves changing all rename processes into one global renaming process. The ability for local bureaucrats to rename users on this wiki will be turned off on Monday, 15 September 2014, as one of the first steps. Global renamers are in the process of being created to make sure projects and languages are represented by the time this occurs. I sent a note to every bureaucrat about this process three weeks ago with an invitation to participate and many have begun requesting to be a part of the group. Together with the stewards, the global renamers will be empowered to help editors work through the often difficult process of getting a global name.

In parting, visit Special:MergeAccount to unify your account if you have never done so. If your local pages about renaming still need to be updated, please do so and consider pointing people to m:SRUC for future rename requests, especially if this project does not have bureaucrats that hold global renamer permissions. If you have any questions, you can read more on the help page on Meta. You can also follow the technical progress on mediawiki.org. Contact me on Meta any time with questions as well. Thank you for your time.

Authority control

Hi,

Please excuse me for writing in English.

Please can someone import and translate en:Template:Authority control (and its subtemplates and Lua module) from the English Wikipedia? The template uses identifiers such as en:Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), en:ORCID & en:Library of Congress Control Numbers (LCCN) (and several others) to diambiguate people with similar names. It imports such data from Wikidata.

Once the template is working, a bot can add it to all the articles about people who have one or more of the relvant ideniftiers, in Wikdiata.

The template can also be used to display ORCID identifiers on user pages, which is particlarly useful for those who edit in relation to their professional or academic research. See en:WP:ORCID for more information. See my en.WP user page for an example.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Global AbuseFilter

Hello,

AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Thanks,

PiRSquared17, Glaisher

Writing weeks about Baltic region

The Baltic region

Hello!

Today the writing weeks about the Baltic region have started on the Dutch Wikipedia!

Several times a year, especially during holidays, we organize on the Dutch Wikipedia writing weeks to focus much of our attention to a specific region in the world that can use some improvements, based on reasons. This edition is about the Baltic region, because on 1 January Latvia becomes the president of the Council of the European Union and Lithuania becomes member of the Eurozone and adopts the Euro as currency. But what do we (outside this region) know about these countries?

Everyone can participate in writing about Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Kaliningrad Oblast. We work on both improving existing articles as writing new articles.

The Dutch project page is at nl:Wikipedia:Wikiproject/Schrijfweek/Baltische regio.

What can you do?

• You can give us suggestions what certainly should be written/improved.
• You can simple start up your own writing weeks, like about the Netherlands and Belgium.

Happy Public Domain Day!

Feel free to translate this message in your language!

On January 1 we celebrate Public Domain Day as many works of authors who died 70+ years ago now enter the public domain and can be used freely.

Let us be aware: copyright is temporary. It only lasts during the authors lifetime and 70 years afterwards (in most countries). During those years it is limiting Wikipedia and her sister projects in showing works of art, literature, public art and buildings in countries without freedom of panorama, and more in the articles. But now a new batch is freed from copyrights!

An overview of images and texts that are restored or added to the Wikimedia Commons, are collected on: this page.

Many of these files still need a place in articles. You can help!

You can also help by uploading new files of subjects that are freed of copyrights.
You can also help by tagging all requests for deletion pages with the category when the file can be restored, which will be/was deleted.

As I follow the log of restored files this week, more images and texts will follow. If still files or texts are missing in the list, let me know or add them yourselves.

A very happy Public Domain Day! Romaine (aptarimas) 20:30, 1 sausio 2015 (EET)

SVARBU: Administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimas

Sveiki. Neseniai global community consensus buvo priimta nauja taisyklė dėl „aukštesnių teisių“ nuėmimo (jūsų bendruomenei buvo pranešta apie šią diskusiją). Pagal šią taisyklę, ūkvedžiai peržiūri administratorių aktyvumą mažesnėse viki. Kiek mes žinome, jūsų viki neturi formalaus proceso „aukštesnių teisių“ nuėmimui neaktyvumo atveju. Tai reiškia, kad ūkvedžiai čia pasirūpins tuo pagal naująjį administratorių aktyvumo patikrinimą.

Mes nustatėme, kad šie naudotojai gali būti laikomi neaktyviais pagal pasirinktus neaktyvumo kriterijus (jokių pakeitimų ar registruojamų specialiųjų veiksmų per daugiau, nei 2 metus):

1. CD (administratorius)
2. Laurinkus (administratorius)
3. Midom (administratorius)

Šie naudotojai greitai gaus pranešimus, prašančius juos inicijuoti bendruomenės diskusiją, jei jie norėtų išlaikyti kai kurias ar visas papildomas teises. Jei naudotojai niekaip nesureaguos, ūkvedžiai nuims jų papildomas teises.

Tačiau, jei jūs kaip bendruomenė norėtumėte turėti savą aktyvumo kontrolės procesą vietoje globalaus, jei norėtumėte priimti kitokį sprendimą dėl šių neaktyvių papildomų teisių turėtojų, ar jau turite taisykles, kurių nepastebėjome, prašome informuoti ūkvedžius Meta-Wiki, kad mes žinotume, jog nereikia tęsti šio patikrinimo.

Are the additions of lithuania.travel within scope?

A user has been adding a lot of links to the domain lithuania.travel and many seem more related wikivoyage rather than to the encyclopaedia. I am sure that they are added in good faith, though I am not certain that all are appropriate. If someone has time and can review m:User:COIBot/XWiki/lithuania.travel that would be great. Thanks.

Beamte mit dem Problem der 200MW Laserpointer

Hi Leute! Also, vor einiger Zeit habe ich mir auf einen Grun Laserpoiner Wiederaufladbare 200mw gekauft. Ich bin zwar jetzt erfolgreich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass das billig war, aber ich hätte doch gerne einen der auf mehr Qualität zurückweist.

Da ich gerade schon dabei bin so einen Thread zu eröffnen, habe ich direkt ein paar Fragen:

1. Es gibt ja mehrere Farben bei den Laserpointern, ich denke mal dass grün / rot / blau die Beliebtesten sind. Bei welchen dieser drei Farben erkennt man den Strahl am besten? Ich denke rot kann man ausschließen, aber ist es jetzt grün oder doch blau? Rot hat die höchste Wellenlänge, Liegt es denn auch an der Wellenlänge wie man den Strahl sieht?

2. Mit welcher der drei oben genannten Farben kann man am besten z.B. Streihhölzer anbrennen (bin daran interessiert. ).

3. Wie gefährlich kann ein Laserpointer mit300 oder 500 mW für das menschliche Auge sein?

So, nun zu meiner eigentlichen Frage. Ich bin auf folgende Seite aufmerksam geworden: Grun Laserpoiner Wiederaufladbare 200mw Sehr interessant finde ich die G3-Serie, Vor allem wegen der Leistung. Sind diese Laserpointer empfehlenswert? Und kennt ihr ähnliche Seiten?

Wikimedia CEE Spring 2015

There is a planned article writing contest about Central/Eastern European countries. There is a need for a coordinator from Lithuanian Wikipedia. Responsibilities are:

1. Curating a list of ~100-250 topics about Lithuania;
2. Establishing a jury which would select a winner from Lithuania for final event. This part is still not decided in detail so the amount of work for volunteer is not clear yet.

Please see meta page, add your name to contacts and start working on article list. For further questions please contact me (I am from Latvia) or User:Kaarel Vaidla from Estonia who is deeply into organizing this event. --Papuass (aptarimas) 12:59, 11 vasario 2015 (EET)
