2nd Wikimedia Mexico meeting

Tengo que admitir, estuvo muy impresionada con la reunion del sábado. Yo esperaba algo mucho menos formal y casi completamente social. No tenía la menor idea que hubiera gente en Mexico tan adicta .... um..... dedicada :D como yo en promover contendio sobre Mexico en WP. También no sabiá que hubiera muchas cosas que una organización formal puede ser. Dos cosas que quería ver es convencer el gobierno de donar imagenes de México de sus archivos (como el gobierno de Alemania hizo) y crear programa permitir alumnos hacer su servicio social trabajando con WP. Puede aplicar a muchas carreras que tienen pocas opciones, como las artes graficas además lo obvio (los idiomas, historia, etc, etc, etc.) Otra posibilidad puede ser networking con las varias organizaciones de extranjeros en el país (pienso principalmente en los de norteamericanos en San Miguel Allende y cerca de Lago Chapala que tienen muchos educados) para ayudar en temas mexicanos en inglés.

I am very anxious to do something! ah pues... mi esposo dice que no tengo paciencia.:DThelmadatter 16:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Lista de Contactos

Que tal Iván, un saludo y excelente que ya hayamos realizado el II Encuentro con esa asistencia. Para comentarte que aún no me ha llegado la lista de los asistentes, para ponernos en contacto. Me comentabas que ya existía una lista de distribución? Si no es así creamos una, aunque sea temporal yo tengo dominios web con posibilidad de crearla. Por otra parte me gustaría platicar sobre los Estatutos, antes de traducirlos. Saludos!!

Social Media Translations

Hey Ivan, I wanted to thank you for the corrections you made to the translated tweets. I appreciate it. - Deniz (WMF) 00:06, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ivan, thanks for all of your translation help. Any chance that you can proofread the core messages and mark them as ready? Thanks!Klyman 17:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Wowza! That was fast!Klyman 18:19, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Translation Update

I want to thank you for your help translating throughout this year's fundraiser. The fundraiser has greatly benefited from all your contributions. Currently, the Kartika, Liliaroja, Abbas and Joan Gomà appeals need to be translated, as we are running appeals from editors. You can find all translation requests at the translation hub on meta and you can follow the progress of the fundraiser in real time by tracking the fundraiser statistics. It is important to check the Core Messages as many languages still need updating. Also if you haven't already, you can subscribe to the translators-l mailing list for all new requests and major changes. Many thanks for your help in truly making this a global fundraiser that you can edit.Klyman 18:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!

I would like to thank you for all of your help translating and organizing translators during this fundraiser. Every time I sent out a request, the translation was completed in record time. Your collaboration was paramount to the success of the campaign and personally, made my job a very pleasant one. I wish you well in the year ahead and hope our paths cross again.Klyman 22:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Another Thank You

Hi Ivan, I wanted to also thank you for all your graphic banner submissions during the fundraiser. They were really great graphics, and we appreciate the time you put into creating them. We couldn't have done it without you! - Deniz (WMF) 21:10, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikimania 2013 Bidding

Dear editor,

You are getting this message because you have edited a Wikimania bidding page for 2013.

Many have said that the bidding needs to be brought forward to give teams longer to organise the conference, to enable it to be run more professionally and smoother and to give teams more time to arrange things like sponsorship which can take significant amounts of time. This year an active effort is being made to bring the start of official bidding to before the fundraiser (around September/October, to have a longer bidding period that will run till the end of January and a decision made by the end of February.

Although this clashes with the fundraiser, the significantly longer bidding period is to give those teams from chapters involved in the fundraiser more time. It should hopefully allow teams to create better and more detailed bids. Going forward the idea would be that eventually the bidding would occur entirely before the fundraiser. I though it best to not jump immediately to this to not catch teams off guard.

Just to recap: Bidding will start in September/October and not in January

Any thoughts and comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Translator, We need you!

Dear ProtoplasmaKid,

You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.

Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.

If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.

Many Thanks

Change in translations

Hi, and thank you for your activity with fundraiser translations so far!! I have one small request to make: We had to change three of the appeals; the change is the same in all of them, and the replacement text is quite short, so I don't want to e-mail people just to fix that, and that's why I'm asking you instead. It would be great if you could do the following fixes in Mexican Spanish:

• Jimmy Letter 002
• Kaldari Letter (remember the change from 420 million to 422 million)
• Alan Letter

Since these are small changes you don't have to go through the cycle of having it proofread and everything, unless you are unsure about the translation. Thanks in advance. :-) Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 05:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Solicitud de inscripción en Iberocoop.

Hace un mes mandé a la lista de coreo de Iberocoop la solicitud de inscripción de Amical Viquipèdia. Galio me comentó por correo que había problemas en la lista por lo que una semana mas tarde colgué una copia de la solicitud en la página de discusión de Iberocoop.

Como no hemos recibido todavía ningún comentario supongo que la lista sigue con problemas y quizá nadie tiene vigilada la página de Iberocoop. Por ello os dejo este mensaje a un representante de cada uno de los chapters participantes.

Si os parece podemos mantener en la página de discusión los comentarios i el diálogo que creáis oportunos. --Gomà 10:53, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

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.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 14:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Translators

I just want to thank you for volunteering and to say how appreciative I am of the work translator do, in particular with the fundraiser. It is nothing short of vital.

Our first big test of the year is going to be dedicated to the Spanish language and so over the coming days you'll receive a number of translation requests. For the moment the goal is insuring that all donor communications are fully translated. These quick steps will help get you started:

• Click on the "translate to Spanish" link above
• Double click the message you want to translate
• Type your translation, click save and repeat.

The Fundraising team are also looking for local testers and proofreaders in the spanish language to help us throughout the year.

If you would be interested in helping us please email me (jseddon at wikimedia.org), post on my meta talk page [1] or post on the talk page of the fundraiser translation hub [2]. Feel free to post any questions, comments or feedback about the new translation extension on the same talk page as well [2].

You should receive one more notification after this. I will try and keep the notification traffic down as best I can.

Translations - Fantasic

Dear Spanish Translators,

Whether or not you managed to get a transation in this time. I wanna just give my appreciation. Both translations were completed in under 12 hours which is well within the week target. Just simply fantastic.

I have one last favour to ask. As well as translations, can I really encourage people to proofread translations if it seems that all the translations are done. Proofreading is just as important as the translation itself to ensure we have the highest quality.

To proofread the two translation requests, click here and here.

Also we are still looking for volunteers to help us with local testing. Drop me a message on my talk page.

Thank you all :)

Fundraising translation feedback

Hey ProtoplasmaKid,

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

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

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

Many Thanks

Wikimedia Chapters Survey

Hello ProtoplasmaKid,

I would like to invite you and your chapter to take a part in a survey on WM Chapters. As I briefly explained, it is an effort agreed during WCA meetings, taken to start gathering information about us and present it visibly. First presentation will be given in Hong Kong.

I know it is an additional work and the survey could use more elaboration, but someone needed to start it. Survey can be responded on a dedicated meta subpage or in other form if it is more suitable for the chapter. Your subpage is here.

Thanks for your help,

Wikipedia 15 Costa Rica

Hola, Iván. Noté te añadiste a lista de periodistas que reportarán sobre Wikipedia 15, y quise comentarte lo que haremos en Costa Rica. Lo celebraremos en Quesada (al norte de la capital) y queremos hacer algo sencillo pero especial. La noche del jueves hablaré sobre Wikipedia y su cumpleaños en vivo en un programa de radio regional (con otros miembros de WMCR presentes) y el viernes daremos charlas y celebraremos con pastel. He publicado los detalles en Wikipedia y en la lista de correo de WMCR. Si necesitas saber algún otro detalle, puedes contactarme. Saludos. --Allan Aguilar (talk) 20:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Me temo que actualmente no hemos establecido contacto directo con ningún medio de comunicación, excepto con radio Santa Clara (una radio regional del norte del país) donde hablaremos por primera vez el jueves por la noche. Sin embargo, se me ocurre una lista de medios importantes a los que podrás enviar el boletín:

• La Nación → infonacion.com
• Diario Extra → redacciondiarioextra.com
• La Prensa Libre → solo tiene un formulario de contacto
• CRhoy → redaccioncrhoy.com
• San Carlos al Día (regional) → manriquesadasancarlosaldia.com
• Radio Santa Clara (regional) → radioradiosantaclara.org

Muchas gracias por la gestión. En WMCR te agradeceríamos doblemente si puedes enviar el boletín a estos contactos antes del viernes. Los medios pueden verificar el lugar de las charlas en la página del encuentro en Wikipedia, el cual es un lugar de seguro conocido por los medios regionales. Avísame si lo enviarás tú mismo o si es necesario que nosotros enviemos el boletín.

Perdona por pedirte todo esto, pero nuestra experiencia en este tipo de actividades es nula. Saludos. --Allan Aguilar (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on content curation & review

I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign to encourage new ideas focusing on content review and curation in Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:39, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Your question

Hey ProtoplasmaKid,

Thanks for your Question in the board elections. A single meeting of a subset of chairs if of course not very representative (I understood less than half was actually present). If you ask such a loaded question, it would be good to accompany it with also proper numbers/statistics: a) how many of the chairs of the Wikimedia Chapters are male and b) the same question for the directors (as you indicate 'and leaderships'). Nuance is key on such sensitive topics. It would be much appreciated! Effeietsanders (talk) 06:57, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey Protoplasmakid,

Training modules: Can you help us with translation?

Hello ProtoplasmaKid, hope all is well! As you may know, we at the Wikimedia Foundation's Support and Safety team are developing new training materials to help contributors deal with online harassment situations, and with problems at real life events. The final English version is now finished!

I'm wondering if you would be willing to help us translate content for these Training Modules into your language. We are targeting a minimum of ten languages for these modules, including the English original.

If the answer is yes, please let me know with a ping, or just get stuck in - either way, we would really appreciate your support! Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 18:12, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello again! Just wanted to say thank you for offering to help on the Training Modules translation drive. This is just a gentle reminder that any help translating, even a few lines or messages, will get us closer to the goal of having these important materials available to more language communities. We are hoping to make progress on this by the end of the month. If you have any questions, or need assistance, I’m happy to chat.

Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Nahuatl Wikipedia 2

Hello; In this page, is over second closure for Nahuatl Wikipedia. Regards.--Marrovi (talk) 23:08, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Come join Wikimedia CEE Spring 2018/CEE Women again! <3

Get a postcard from one of the countries in red :)

Hello, Ivan! You receive this message because last year you took part in the CEE Women challenge. This year the challenge repeats, and it will take longer: from now until the end of May (about 10 weeks).

Please, feel invited to visit the page Wikimedia CEE Spring 2018/CEE Women and join the challenge again. Help have more notable women from Central and Eastern Europe in more language versions globally, including Spanish. We again have a list of ideas for biographic articles of women from all over the CEE.

What is different this year is that now you can set your own minimal number of articles as a measure of your challenge (i don't advise you to challenge yourself with more than 70 ;) 10-20 is perfect!). Also, you can receive as a prize a postcard not only from Bulgaria (as in 2017), but also from a list of countries from CEE and around the world. Apart of being a receiver, you can also opt to be a sender of postcards from your country to some of the other participants! That would also be awesome!

Thank you in advance for any contribution you make to CEE Women, and for spreading the word in your local wiki community! Love, Vassia / →Spiritia 18:32, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Huquipedia

User:Cuiatl wrote this article nah:Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, this person no Mexican, no Indigenous people, but Wikipedia is a free and globalized encyclopedia, that is why I am not opposed to the publication of articles like these even though it has nothing to do with Mexican indigenous culture, it's a sing of the Huquipedia users are not native speakers of Nahuatl languages, they only invent texts and articles that nobody will be able to correct or to indicate mistakes, their references are invented words as Maxaliuhcayotl, in references was wrotten this text; quinezcayotia romanticismo (Ma xiquitta in tlahtoltecpanaliztli tehtlahtol). Maxalihuini (noihuan maxaliuhqui) quihtoznequi apasionado, romántico, embobado, embelesado nozo encaprichado.

Invented words in this article nah:Gustavo Adolfo Becquer; omontetl, tlahtollaliani, Maxaliuhcayotl [2], maxalihuini tlahuehcauhtli, ohuehhuechihualoc, zatepamaxalihuini[3], quixahcicaittac, itetlapanotlaliz, icennenahualiz, mahuizotl, Tlahtollaliztli, tlahtollotl, tlatocalli, tlacehcentlaliztli, amoxcuiloliztli, españayotl. (Electronic classical nahuatl dictionary Search here).

I tried in incubator to improve things but once again Akapochtli sought to close the way for anyone to tell of their wrongdoing in Huiquipedia. He says he writes in (nhn), Central Nahuatl, but you have just realized that Akapochtli has an ignorance of Central Nahuatl confusing it with classic Nahuatl, or manipulating the confusion to ignore the subject. It is regrettable that the amount of invented words and texts that only Akapochtli understands in Huquipedia continues to be defended. If Akapochtli wants to control everything in Huquipedia is because behind his arguments is the manipulation that will always attack any person who is aware of the errors and their bad work, and also for everything seeks blockades becoming the victim that blocks because it's assaulted.

If you are interested, we can review each article published in Huquipedia to show everything that is said there, and you will see the large number of words invented and texts with personal turns of mestizos without acesoría of native speakers, because Nahuatl is not equal to Spanish thought , I am already very tired, I am disillusioned with wikipedia and I do not have much encouragement to edit; but I have knowledge of the subject and for that reason I dare to give opinion, I feel bad that they are rejected of the projects only to clarify the truth, but I can not lie, that is part of my personal values.

Hello Steven, I am writing to you to see that in Huiquipedia there is no such correction or revision of each article, because anyone who ignores the Nahuatl languages ​​will not be able to realize the amount of errors in the editions.

Once AndresXXV is another Spanish-speaking mestizo with whom Akapochtli tries to manipulate the situation that is making a correct revision of the articles. Well today I was reading the article nah:Opuntia ficus-indica and I found a number of invented words that are not part of the vocabulary of Central Nahuatl or Classic Nahuatl, that does not deceive Akapochtli or AndresXXV of speaking Nahuatl languages, it is very sad that these people defend a project and have created a Nahuatl of them and not a Nahuatl that we have all studied in universities.

The structure of syntax and format corresponds to Spanish and never to Nahuatl languages. To begin with, the real Nahuatlatos do not understand or write in Latin, since the classification of the taxonomy in Latin and to name the plants and animals in Latin or scientific name It is typical of Spanish speakers and never of Nahua speakers; Nahua speakers would say nejpali, nojpali, nohpalli, nochtli, tenochtli, nohpalitl, panujle or tomojli, but never opuntia ficus-indica; Each Nahua language calls this plant in different ways as we have just seen.

in imacehualtoca nohpalli, according to AndrewXXV, did he say that the Indigeous people call, but what the natives call nohpalli? In Mexico there are many different groups to the Nahua people and also these are macehualli (indigenous people), buy Nahua people is nahuatlacah, as soon as nahuatlacah itoca nohpalli. Plant in Classical nahuatl and Central nahuatl is quilitl. Akapochtli or AndrewXXV invented the words centlamantli (object?), tlanelhuayotl (plant?), neneuhcayotl (category?) and ixipihtolli (description?), words that will never appear in Nahuatl dictionaries but only they understand them because native speakers and students of classical Nahuatl will never understand them (Electronic Classical nahuatl dictionary Search here).

I'm sorry that Steven is tricked all the time by Akapochtli to defend Huiquipedia, you just realized that Huiquipedia is an unsuccessful project that is edited by Hispanic students of Nahuatl and that the structure of the The language is Spanish language but never by native speakers of Nahuatl.

Nohpalli in Central Nahuatl (nhn) is like that, according to the John Sullivan's dictionary; Nohpalli or Nehpalli; ce tlamantli tzontli tlen eli zan cuatitlan huan millah; moquetza zancualtzin; ixihuiyo tilahuac, xoxoctic, pahpatlactic, huan quipiya miac ihuitzo. Inanan Carmela quichiuhqui nehpalli ica nacatl, huan mocauhqui tlahuel ahhuiac; page 332, Tlahtolxitlauhcayotl, 2016., Central Nahuatl is very, very different to Classical Nahuatl language. Regards! See you my friend. --Marrovi (talk) 00:42, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Celebremos en 2019 el año internacional de las lenguas indígenas

Please help translate to your language

Este año, oficialmente fue declarado por la ONU, como el año internacional de las lenguas indígenas; el cual consiste en el conocimiento, difusión, equidad y rescate de las lenguas originarias de las naciones del planeta. En este proyecto, también nos unimos a la celebración mundial de los derechos lingüísticos de los pueblos indígenas; ya que no es fácil dar a conocer y publicar todo el conocimiento primitivo de los pueblos originarios de las naciones modernas debido a que muchas lenguas están en el habla oral, escasamente escritas y con hablantes maternos, que en su mayoría son adultos mayores.

Lamentablemente, muchas lenguas nativas de cada país mueren todos los día; se estima que en el año 2050; se pueden extinguir más de la mitad de las lenguas del planeta, las más vulnerables son las lenguas indígenas. En este proyecto, se busca el apoyo de los usuarios para la publicación de palabras de origen primitivo y de origen indígena. Es un compromiso, con los pueblos indígenas de los cinco continentes, ayudar a revitalizar y usar las lenguas nativas de cada país en la vida cotidiana; así como el aprendizaje de las mismas; ya que es necesario conocer las lenguas indígenas para poder contribuir con su difusión y uso en todos los ámbitos de la política, de la educación y de los espacios virtuales con el objetivo de mantenerlas vigentes en la red global.

Con motivo de la conmemoración, nos gustaría que adoptes una lengua indígena dentro de este proyecto para poder contribuir con su vitalidad por muchos años más. Gracias.--Marrovi (talk) 23:45, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Can you kindly upload your article about "Colonial and postcolonial bias on Wikimedia" to Commons or email me? Regards, Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 09:01, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

es:Wikipedia en náhuatl y es:Discusión:Wikipedia en náhuatl

Primer intento de cerrar la Huiquipedia. Prácticamente inició la solicitud el 9 de abril de 2007 promovida por Node ue. Se prolongó por varios meses hasta que el steward FM-Warburg estableció un período de cierre del 18 al 25 de julio de 2007. El resultado fue "Permanece el proyecto".

Historial del primer intento de cerrar Huiquipedia. Es interesante revisar este historial debido a que, se entiende y se acepta, que después de su cierre NADIE debe alterar su contenido o agregar comentarios. Sin embargo el usuario Marrovi modificó e incluso BORRÓ información de esta propuesta, acciones que causan sanciones y que sorprende que no lo hayan detectado los administradores, quienes por lo menos deberían haber revertido esas ediciones de vandalismo.

Segundo intento de cerrar Huiquipedia. Solicitado por Marrovi el 7 de octubre del 2017. Cerrada la solicitud el 6 de noviembre del 2017 con la conclusión "Improcedente".

Una novela.

Esta wikipedia carece de calidad y hablantes nativos del idioma, por esa razón no prospera su contenido. Akapochtli no es hablante nativo de ninguna variante del náhuatl, es un estudiante de la lengua y reside en la ciudad de Guadalajara, es otro mestizo de los cientos de usuarios que ha tenido Huiquipedia. Al ser el mismo el que edita, por lógica la redacción está hecha para darse promoción así mismo al ser el principal editar de Huiquipedia, redactando aquí una novela y rivalidad con otro usuario (Marrovi), la historia del bueno y el malo. Si fui expulsado de Wikipedia en español por mis discusiones, pero no le da ningún derecho al usuario Akapochtli hablar mal de mi persona y mucho menos llevarlo a la redacción de los artículos para realizar un desprestigio. Allí existe mi expediente para que enteres de este desgastarte caso en mi contra.--Marrovi (talk) 22:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

y el primer usuario hablante de náhuatl fue Akapochtli, un importante defensor de la Wikipedia náhuatl que mejoró y ayudó a los primeros usuarios o administradores a darle un sentido objetivo en este medio electrónico.

El 1 de julio del 2015 el usuario Marrovi llevando un proceso "controlado", impone una escritura simplificada para facilitar la edición a través de medios electrónicos. Durante 15 días manipula la votación, para obtener el resultado deseado (que quería imponer desde 2007)...'.

Hola Marco Aurelio saludos desde; yo solo le pedí al usuario que pusiera referencias reales y no referencias personales, por eso evadí mi bloqueo, no se vale que usa los artículos de wikipedia para desprestigiar personas. Una cosa es que Taichi apoye al usuario y otra muy diferente buscar todos los medios posibles para desprestigiarme, eso no es ético por mucho que tengan poder de bloqueos, por eso se insiste en que sea referenciado el artículo. Gracias por escuchar.--Marrovi (talk) 12:14, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Ahora hace falta quitar del artículo principal el chisme y todo tipo de redacción de vanidad o de desprestigio hacia los usuarios, su lectura solo está referenciado por las notas que él mismo coloca como referencias, lo cual pone en discusión la veracidad de su contenido como una manipulación del mismo.--Marrovi (talk) 23:34, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Para que usted pueda comprobar dicha manipulación, aquí están algunas referencias reales sobre Wikipedia en náhuatl, lo cual desmiente que Akapochtli es hablante nativo y su supuesta mejoría de contenido o trayectoria dentro de Huiquipedia. [3], [4], [5]. Muchas gracias por escuchar.--Marrovi (talk) 23:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Te respondo, aunque no deberías tener cara para hablar a mi, no eres ético, te gusta abusar del que no se puede defender y juegas sucio (anque también debo reconocer que gané el bloqueo permanente por polémico). Yo coloqué el texto de que eras el primer usuario indígena, pero no coloqué el texto que de que mejoró y ayudó a los primeros usuarios o administradores a darle un sentido objetivo en este medio electrónico. eso lo colocaste tú y se nota en tu redacción que me odias y no quieres reconocer que alguna vez participé en Huiquipedia; pues siendo ahora uno de tres editores mestizdos de Huiquipedia, no me sorprende que intentes hacer aun lado el trabajo, las conferencias y la asistencia a foros sobre wikipedia náhuatl a los que asistí. No quiero que me des crédito de nada ni que me menciones en el artículo, pero por lo menos deja de hablar de mi diciendo que soy lo peor en tu redacción, ¿Acaso es mucho pedir? es lo único que se te está pidiendo.

El user:Tepoxteco, me dijo que no eres hablante nativo de ninguna variante del náhuatl, que solo eres una persona que ha estudiado arduamente su lengua, también me dijo que no tienes tal doctorado como lo anuncias en tu perfil de lengua española [6]. Posteriormente, en la Universidad de Guadalajara, fui a la biblioteca central preguntar si eras doctor en algo y respondieron que no eres doctor, también hice la misma pregunta en el ITESO (Instituto Tecnológico de Oriente), en Guadalajara y también me dijeron que no tienes doctorado, eso solo tú lo sabes si eres doctor o no lo eres.--Marrovi (talk) 12:53, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

User talk:Akapochtli/Diálogo para el entendimiento

Un gran favor de hombre a hombre; si algo puede hacer usted, pídale al señor Francisco Maciel o Akapochtli, de la manera más atenta que me deje en paz, no creo que sea mucho pedir.--Marrovi (talk) 15:02, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiFundi

Hey Ivan

I guess you will read my email on iberocoop list, but this place can not be wrong :)

I will need your help please... on the WikiFundi Spanish ressources. I have cleaned up the page to separate French, English and Spanish. I need your help to add interesting and recent resources to the spanish page here : WikiAfrica Offline Resources/es. You can get inspiration from the English page of course but we do not need to put so many ressources. The best ones would be enough, in particular those related to

• Education, teachers, school children
• Gender gap and diversity topics

Of course, documents produced by chapters and usergroups would be great.

Can you help ? Thanks

Upcoming elections

Hi Ivan, You are on the elections committee. The board announced new elections on April 21st. I posted a question on the committee talk page on April 25th. I would appreciate to read an answer. I am wondering now whether the elections committee is active, and if active, what takes so long to communicate publicly what you are busy with? Are you busy organizing the upcoming elections?

Candidacy in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election

Hi there! I am reaching out about your decision to be a candidate in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. The Board of Trustees decided there would be outreach available for the 2021 Board of Trustees election. There is a team of facilitators supporting this election through outreach activities.

The facilitators have some activities planned during the campaign period. Be sure to check out Candidate Resources to learn more about the trustee role.

The first thing facilitators plan to do during the campaign period is host a Conversation Chat for candidates. We will talk about the campaign timeline, activities, and answer questions you have. This is currently scheduled for July 3 at 15:00 UTC. This time might change.

Facilitators are reaching out to all candidates with this message. We can offer support to make sure your message is clear. This could be reviewing your candidate page for clarity. We can also clarify community questions that candidates answer during the campaign. Please let us know if you would like this support and we can schedule a time to chat. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 21:35, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ivan, Great! Glad to hear you are interested in support. Let's schedule a time to meet. Oscar and I will be the two facilitators meeting with you. Please feel free to email me jkoerner-ctrwikimedia.org so we can plan a time. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 22:44, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! I want to let you know the Candidate Briefing will be July 3 at 15:00 UTC via Google Meet. If this time does not work for you, it is not a problem. We can plan another time or way to get the information to you. Please just let me know what works for you. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 19:41, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Proof of Identity still needed for Board of Trustee Candidacy

Hi there! I see that you have not yet submitted your proof of identity. Candidates for this position must submit proof of identity and evidence of age of majority as a condition of candidacy. A copy of one of the following documents fulfills this:

Driver's license

Passport

Other official documentation indicating real name and age

This may be provided to the Wikimedia Foundation via email at secure-infowikimedia.org. Even if you may have done this previously for a different position, you are asked to complete this again. Please submit this by 29 June 2021 at 23:59 UTC.

If you are one of the selected candidates, the Wikimedia Foundation may need to request additional identifying information in order to run a background check prior to your appointment to the Board.

Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 03:41, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Better than democracy?

I was glad that you called out the "one person, one vote" principle as potentially problematic during the candidate discussion this weekend. Another candidate also gave an example, that English projects have 20,000 eligible voters and Tamil has only 60. It feels like a failure in representation, there are maybe 76 million Tamil speakers so the ratio of Wikimedia voters is much lower for this language than for English.

Could you expand a bit on what you were saying about the relevance of Movement Charter discussions? I see an interesting method of allocating seats in this proposal, which takes into account the number of speakers "represented", maybe there are other precedents as well? Adamw (talk) 23:18, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Candidate update: community question translation and campaign activities

Dear Candidate,

I am writing to you about several things:

1. On 20 July the facilitation team will begin translating the candidate answers to questions selected by the Elections Committee. Please try to finish your answers by that date if possible.

2. There is a list of Campaign Activities planned by the facilitation team. We have heard feedback about Campaign Activities. Thank you for your patience as we are trying new things and learning. The facilitation team will discuss solutions to these frustrations on 21 July. Look for updates on the Campaign Activities list.

3. The Community Affairs Committee meeting with candidates is on 21 July. You may email questions to askcacwikimedia.org if that works better for you than writing on Meta. If you have not already received a calendar invitation, please email me at jkoerner-ctrwikimedia.org so a calendar invitation for the CAC meeting can be sent to you.

Wikisporadic Newsletter: September 2022

Wikispore lunch in Berlin

Wikisporadic, an Occasional Newsletter for our Germinating Community.

• Oral knowledge We held a session on oral knowledge and Wikispore as part of Options Space at Wikimedia Summit 2022 in Berlin, looking at options with several African affiliates to link out to cultural topics from Wikipedia(s). Some African communities are already doing oral knowledge documentation like the Nigerian community working on oral history as well as the growing Mozambican community working on oral history documentation in Makhuwa language. This is a way to provide more sources as well as digitize some oral parts of their history.
• Wikidata integration There is a plan to install the new UnlinkedWikibase extension, advancing the vision of Wikisprout and full Wikidata integration such as use in infoboxes.
• Movement strategy Using the Cargo and related extensions on Wikispore, work is underway to create a demo of Movement Strategy activities, adapting Baserow data from Wikimedia Summit.
• Halloween event As a Wikidata 10th Birthday event, there is hope to collaborate at the end of October with Wiki Cemeteries User Group on Grave Spore (see discussion), for maps and in-depth coverage of individual graves.

We need your feedback on a tool from the Wikimedia Summit

Reminder: the guide to using Baserow, presented during the Wikimedia Summit.

Hi! I'm contacting you as one of the participants in the Wikimedia Summit 2022, to kindly ask for your feedback through a 5-10 minute survey to evaluate 'Baserow' (note: the survey is on a Google form).

Baserow was tool through which participants in the Summit co-created a database of Movement Strategy activities. We hope to learn from you how useful it may be to keep using it in the future to help document and connect on Movement Strategy work.

You are welcome and encouraged to fill out the survey in any language. Your feedback would be very appreciated --Abbad (WMF) (talk) 13:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC).

A Barnstar for you!

Derechos de una foto de ProtoplasmaKid ("Marcha del silencio: Labios cruzados")

Hola Iván:

Te escribo por este canal porque creo qu tú eres el fotógrafo que estoy buscando: ProtplasmaKid en Wikimedia Commons. He buscado una foto muy impresionante sobre la marcha del silencio conmemorativa del 2018, refiriéndose a la marcha del 68 (el muchacho con los labios cerrados por una cruz de cintas adhesivas rojas: ProtoplasmaKid: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marcha_del_Silencio_-_2018_-_12.jpg).

Me encantaría si me permitieras usar esta foto en un artículo que estoy escribiendo sobre la "lógica discursiva" del movimiento estudiantil en México en el 1968. Tú, qué opinas: (1) ¿Tengo el derecho de reimprimir esta foto, citando la fuente completa que he encontrado en Wikimedia (ver arriba: "ProtoplasmaKid etc.")? ¿O prefieres que indique tu nombre verdadero? (2) En cuanto al muchacho en la imagen: ¿Hay algún derecho de su parte que pudiera ser herido al imprimir esta foto en una publicación científica sobre análisis del discurso? (El artículo será publicado dentro de poco tiempo; en francés, en una editorial parisina. Voy a colocar el artículo, que será open-access, en este mismo espacio.)

Gracias por adelantado por tu ayuda, un gran saludo desde Suiza, Marcel 2A02:1210:1E55:BE00:2C4D:17EB:A72C:8FC8 13:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Hola Marcel, gracias por escribir. Puedes usarla como lo indicas citándola como "ProtoplasmaKid - Wikimedia Commons - CC BY SA4.0". En cuanto a los derechos de personalidad, la foto fue tomada en el espacio público en una manifestación con un consentimiento tácito. Sólo hay una forma de saber que el chico se sienta afectado a posteriori y es que tengamos una petición suya después. Por ahora todo bien. Cuando esté lista la publicación ¿me la compartes? :) Saludos, ProtoplasmaKid (talk) 18:57, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

You still need to select your home wiki. That's a formal requirement to make sure not everyone is from the same wiki. Der-Wir-Ing ("DWI") talk 07:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
