I wish to contribute more to the Wikimedia projects, I am trying to distribute my contributions more to Meta and Commons. I am currently an administrator on Wikipedia. See my Wikipedia userpage. Although I am a recent admin, I have been doing adminstrative work for quite some time, and feel my contributions will be useful on the rest of the projects, including this one. Thank you. ∞Who?¿? 12:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I want to fix the links in the arabic donation page, there are more arabic projects now, rewrite some part of the page, translate the the contact us page, the Wikimedia statsistics, and if possible the once, monthly, and yearly donation pages.
I am an active sysop in http://ar.wikipedia.com/
my user pages: ar.wikipedia.org (extreeeeemly active ) , meta.wikimedia.org (working on the ar.wikinews.org starting pages). You will find an account for me (Tarawneh) in almost all your wikis, the german where I live, and most of the others but these are just for NAME reservation, you can never now, I might write something on the other wikis some day.
Done. Angela 01:13, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

    reason: to fix typo on Japanese pages.
    • Funddrive reveals those pages contain some tweak (visitors asked to fix them on Ja VP or on certain sysops' talks - hopefully they weren't not so many but we need more hands and eys apparently) I called for help to jawiki sysops and he replied. As for the site, KMT joined WQ translations and was the main proofreader of WQ2. Since this April he has been a bureaucrat on ja wikipedia, and although we have different views in some points, he is thoughtful and likes to give a help always, his promotion was therefore one of wisest decisions on that project in my opinion.

comments: My main use for an account is to work on promoting Wikijunior, the Wikibooks subproject, by developing a press release for it. I'd also be interested in being a Canadian press contact.
You're okay to me... but... I am perplex because none of the activities you mention are done on the Foundation site. Press release should be done on meta.... Press contact can be listed here... but I can absolutely add you there if you wish so. I'll have a look. But otherwise, no work is directly there. Anthere
Okay, because I was under the assumption that to make it an official Wikimedia release, it would be developed here. There's a few releases on meta that never actually were distributed, so that's what led me to believe that. Okay, ignore my request then. :) -- user:zanimum
I added you as canada contact in english. Please contact Elian who is our press coordinator... :-) Anthere
Thanks, I'll do that. And if you could more clearly mark my name (Nick/Nicholas Moreau) in the listing, even though it's in the email. -- user:zanimum

I'm a bureaucrat in most of the SR (Serbian) projects. I would like to make changes to the SR pages that our people translate, since there isn't one single Serb at the site. Talked to Delphine over the IRC about this and she said it's ok! :) --Dungodung 21:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I do not think Delphine is the one making decisions over who is an editor and who is not, on the Foundation website. But well... I have no real objection. A question though, are you a member of the serbian chapter ? If not, may one of the serbian chapter speak up in your favor ? :-) thanks Anthere

Oh, I certainly am a member of our chapter. I failed to mention that I am one of the "founding fathers", one of the vicepresidents, in the executive board (or whatsitsname) and the secretary. We've held a vote for this matter (by the way, Goran Obradovic should get an account too, but that should be a separate item here, right?). Anyway, look at the votes (although they don't mean that much to the board itself and there's a possibility that you won't understand the page itself as it is in Cyrillic Serbian :) --Dungodung 10:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  • username: alaudo
email: alaudo a_t gmail d_o_t com
reason: I would like to fix the translation of WikiMedia page in Esperanto [2], which now is more in French than in Esperanto. I am an active user in Esperanto-Wiki, [3], though not an administrator.

If you want to know more about me, ask somebody from this Wikipedia. I am also active in Russian, German and Tatar Wikis under the same (Alaudo) nickname.

Since you have only 89 edits on the eo wiki, I think it would be best to build up some more experience and community trust there before applying for an account on the Foundation wiki. Angela 01:13, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  • username: A Link to the Past
email: Zeldaalttp@gmail.com

I'd like admission into this wiki, so that I can, well, improve the quality of individual articles on it. I am not an admin, but I have thousands of edits on Wikipedia, and I assume that I am somewhat respected. I also have four featured articles that I have worked on religiously in order to get them to that status, and a fifth one which I did not nominate, but I also helped out a great deal. I can also do major copyedits, although I am not particularily a fan of doing them (they are okay). - ALttP 20:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but personally, I do not know you... who knows you ? Anthere
Um, let's see... Phroziac knows me, RobChurch, Redwolf somewhat, Ral315, Jacoplane, etc. I'm not quite sure what you mean by knows me (personally, or someone who can vouch for me). - ALttP 21:50, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
While I do know A Link to the Past, I'm not sure that I'd give him permission. Not because I think he would make negative edits, but because when I nominated him for adminship on the English Wikipedia, he was rejected soundly, mostly for having a negative attitude and reacting strongly. I would trust him with it, but I think other users on EN.WP need to support him there before he is allowed to edit the foundation site here. Ral315 (en) 08:50, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Hey, now, I wouldn't say I have a negative attitude, more that I react negatively, strongly. I admit that I was not very civil to some people near my nomination, but in the last month, I haven't done anything more than sarcasm in a debate. - ALttP 19:34, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
I am hesitant ALttP. I have no reason myself to say no, but several people mentionned the rejection. While I am pretty sure you would not do willingly anything wrong on the site (eh, no vandal there :-)), I fear that some english editors might feel unhappy at the idea you got an account there. So, with much apologies, to avoid any teeth grinding, I will say I would prefer not. I let it to Angela to have another opinion if she knows you personally... I could not get her make any comments on this page recently... and she just left for two weeks... So I keep your name here for now. Cheers. Anthere 10:16, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Oh well. Also, the most interaction I have had with Angela is that she invited me to the Minneapolis Wikipedia meeting (which I had to decline). - ALttP 01:31, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
If you have suggested improvements to the pages on the Foundation wiki, we'd be pleased to know about them, but I think it's too soon to give you an account since you're not an admin at en. Angela 10:10, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
