Hello, Essjay, nice to meet you here on meta!
My ISP is w:Hong Kong Broadband Network, which rotates its customers' IPs frequently and has many vandalist customers, and makes me nearly never possible to edit.
I would like to see if it's possible for you to add me to the list of verified users or other permissions that can protect my account from being blocked due to the block imposed on my IP.
As a sysop on Cantonese Wikipedia, I'm especially bothered by the block. Please kindly help me do something.
For your reference, below is the list of my accounts on different Wikimedia projects:
I would like to obtain your permission to use an image of the APM building that is on Wikipedia Commons for a report my company is producing on shopping centres in China.
Please could you contact me at the below email address this week or early next week so we can discuss further:
cari.sims@eu.jll.com
Kind regards,
Cari Sims

I am sorry I cannot tell you anything about the quality of the translation, I wish I could but I admit it I am a real ignoramus about your language (I wish I could read some ideograms I really like them and the style and virtuosity your people display when writing them... it is an art) but well I think I do not need to be able to read it because when I read your message I understood that you really care about your work and that you did it in a heartfelt manner. And also thanks for your kind words, they are really appreciated, take care! I wish you all the best, a wonderful weekend and a sunny, pleasant and relaxing summertime. If you ever need something from me about Occitan or Catalan, just let me know I will be real glad to help, Claudi/Capsot22:24, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Cheers, Deryck. But I'm afraid I'm also not available this time. There's a pre-departure briefing for the British uni I'm attending in Victoria at 19:30 and I've already booked a place for myself. Sorry, m8! Douglas the Comeback Kid15:05, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Victoria, London or Victoria Peak, Hong Kong? Congratulations for getting a place, may I know which university you got into? (Do use "Email this user" for that.) Deryck C.15:17, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

年齡不是問題吧。2006年香港舉辦中文維基年會，最年輕的義工只有12歲；現時WMF和英國分會各有一名活躍義工，初出席聚會時也分別是12歲。Jimmy Wales 2006年曾說過，香港維基人是全世界最年青的，我們需要更多年青人保持這個聲譽！Deryck C.15:50, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Deryck,
I saw on the WMUK OTRS Workshop page that you are interested in becoming an OTRS volunteer. You definitely should. I dunno what the situation is with zh tickets, but we need people who are able to help with en tickets. —Tom Morris (talk) 04:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.
Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.
And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.
This is a reminder to all indicated participants for my Wikimania admin panel that I need your answers to the questions by next Wednesday (the 18th). If this is not a good time for you, and need a little extra time, please let me know by talkpage or by email as soon as possible. If you know anyone who still would like to participate and meets the criteria of being an administrator and their wiki not already taken, please let them know as this is the final week to signup. If you have any questions, please stop by my enwiki talkpage linked in the signature. Thanks. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 02:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to import to a wiki, and I didn't want to make a sloppy copy-paste move, so... Could you import a soft redirect template (e.g. en:Template:Soft redirect to the HK Wikimania wiki? I'm sure I'm not the only (causal) wiki user who simply wants to redirect his userpage to his main-project userpage. Thanks! --PhilosopherLet us reason together.07:22, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

At Requests for comment/Global bans, where you have commented in support of Option 2, a third option has recently been implemented. The first two options did not prove a way for respondents to indicate that they oppose global bans entirely, i.e., that it is not possible to write a meaningful global bans policy that would attract their support. Option 3 is intended to provide that opportunity, and to aid in distinguishing between people who oppose the proposed policy because it requires improvements and those who oppose the proposed policy because no policy permitting global bans should be adopted.
Because the third section was added late by a respondent, it is possible that some people who responded early in the RFC have commented at option 2, but would really prefer to support option 3, or support both. If so, you may voluntarily choose to move your original comment or to or strikethrough your original comment and add new comments. This is a courtesy notice of the change, and there is no requirement that you take any action. WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:48, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

The page Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012 is available for translation. You can translate it here:
Note: This time, the "Wikimedia Foundation highlights" section does not include the usual coverage of the most notable work of Foundation staff during that month. Instead, it contains a list of talks given by Foundation staff at Wikimania, summarizing their most important work the year over. It looks like a lot of text, but only the talk titles will need to be translated. The intention is that these titles alone can already give readers a good overview of what the Foundation is working on in general.

Re: Cantonese Wikipedia renaming
Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hi, the language code (wgLanguageCode) was changed shortly after I announced it on the the mentioned page, so that was/is done. However, for the renaming of the actual domain (zh-yue.wikipedia.org), that is waiting for action by Wikimedia developers since several years (see bug 19986) and is something no volunteer can really help with.

This letter is a new translation request, but re-uses large parts of the 2011 Jimmy Appeal, with slight modifications in the second version.
If the 2011 Jimmy Letter has been translated into your language, you can probably re-use much of it for this translation. :-)

Wikimedia Travel Guide: Naming poll open
Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion
Hi there,
You are receiving this message because you voiced your opinion at the Request for Comment on the Wikimedia Travel Guide.
The proposed naming poll opened a few days ago and you can vote for as many of the proposed names as you wish, if you are eligible. Please see Travel Guide/Naming Process for full details on voting eligibility and how the final name will be selected. Voting will last for 14 days, and will terminate on 16 October at 06:59:59 UTC.
Hi Deryck - yes, I considered using that criteria and also excluding the people who I had already sent the message to the first time, but I thought it would be best to send the same message to everyone (even if they had already voted/been message) so that I didn't give the impression that I was targeting a particular audience. My intention was to widen participation in the naming poll, and at the same time the message could serve as a reminder that users are able to vote for more than one name, which could be something they may miss when reading all the text on Travel Guide/Naming Process. :-)Thehelpfulone23:11, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
