interlanguage for conlang(s)
Hi, Angela.

I am interested in addng interlanguage support to the conlang wikicity... particularly I am interested in adding interlanguage support for any variety of new languages, not just Mediawiki supported languages.

Alternatively I might ask for a new wikicity for encyclopedias writen in conlangs with the requested features.

How should I proceed?

 * Well, for interlanguage support I mean that I want to create namespaces that behave like the language interwikis in Wikipedia or the C wikicity. Just that they are languages that would not be used outside a particular wikicity.
 * Anyhow, where can I get documentation on language.php files?
 * How easily can new languages, that are uninteresting for the whole mediawiki community, be introduced?

adding an admin to a wikicity
Dear Angela,

How do I give an user admin privileges to a wikicity of which I am an admin myself?

Thanks much

misc.
Hi Angela,

Just want to ask if Kate's tool has a wikicities version. And how can I request for adminship on my Wiki, if ever I want to become one? Do I have to apply here at Central? Chosen One 18:58, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * replied at w:c:harrypotter:User talk:Chosen One


 * Yeah, I just wanted to find out how many edits I wanted, but obviously it only works for Wikipedia. Concerning adminship, I'm not yet that interested in becoming an admin, but we're thinking of opening the Wiki to the public (via Mugglenet et al.), and it might eventually be necessary to have more than one absentee admin. I don't have any experience yet. Do you think it's a good idea to try it out there or should I get some experience on WP first? Thanks a lot. ;)    09:50, 29 Jul 2005 (UTC)

our nomic bank
Hi there! did you change you mind? Could you please host our nomic bank here? By the way I cannot access wikipedia. do you know whats happening there? thnx BoW Bank 07:56, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * I've not changed my mind. You can't access Wikipedia because you're banned there. Please stop trying to edit Wikipedia. There are many alternative wiki hosts where you can put your content. See the Wikibooks list of hosts I gave you before. Angela (talk) 05:34, 29 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * You said: "you're banned there, go away!". Could you please search a little bit a discover WHY I was banned? I was banned because they accused me of beeing another banned user. You dont seem to care about the reason I was banned, and whether this was fair on unfair, dont you? You are just saying "you are banned" and then your conscience is clear. Are you always doing what they told you to do, without judging whether your action is fair or unfair? BoW Bank 13:10, 29 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * Whether or not you're the banned user Iasson, you share his IP and editing style. Goodbye. Angela (talk) 13:30, 29 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * For the last time. I am not Iasson. I am not willy on wheels. I am not sharing anyones IP or editing style. I dont understand whats happening and why you behave like that, I think its a misunderstanding. I am not going to insist anymore. Goodbye and good luck, and try not to be so suspicious next time.

MiniWiki became MaxiWiki
Hi Angela,

I have a question about moving MiniWiki content.

I have applied for a new Wikicity (TsukubaWiki) and I started working on it in MiniWikis. I originally intended to only put up three or four pages, but the project has kind of blossomed (quite unexpectedly) and now we already have over 200 pages. When (and if) we get approval for the official TsukubaWiki, will it be possible to move all the pages at once (and automatically) to the official location?

I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this question. If that is the case, please let me know where I should post it.

Thank you!

-- Shaney 04:40, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * The new wiki is at w:c:tsukuba. Good luck with it. :) Angela (talk) 09:57, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hi Angela. Thank you for setting up the new Tsukuba Wiki. We have moved all of the content over to the official page now. Please feel free to delete any TsukubaWiki content that remains on scratchpad. All pages have the category "TsukubaWiki", in case that helps. If I can do anything to help erase the content from the scratchpad, please let me know.

If possible, I would like this content to be removed so it doesn't conflict with the information in the new page. If there is no way for you to do it automatically, I can go through and erase the content of each page manually. Please advise.

Thanks!

-- Shaney 15:43, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. I'll delete the pages (probably when I am back home next week) if another Scratchpad admin doesn't get to it first. User:Angela 13:00, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Unnecessary page protection
Angela,

Sorry about placing unnecessary page protection on the database management Wiki topic. I have removed the protections. Obviously, I'm new at this and am learning as I go. Thanks. Jay L.

Wikicities logo license
Hi Angela,

could you tell me whether the Wikicities logo can be used in the Hungarian Wikipedia? There is no license information; it is used under fair use in the en: Wikipedia, but that doesnt apply in Hungary. Could you possibly place it under a free license?

(I tried to contact Jasonr about this, but got no answer.)

thx, --hu:Tgr (152.66.212.151 22:14, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC))


 * replied at wikipedia:hu:user talk:Tgr. Angela (talk) 14:01, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. To my knowledge, there is no way in Hungary to use an image without explicit permisssion from the copyright holder, regardless of type and trademark status. Maybe you could give permission to use the image in Wikipedia, or in WikiMedia projects? Or permit using it in connection with WikiCities?

As for the Sablon:Más wikik logos, they are linked from Commons. We assumed, that placing an image in Commons automatically means at least that the sister projects are permitted to use it. If that is not the case, could you please clarify their legal status and give a permission similar to the above one? We use those images quite often, eg. in interproject link templates.

(OTOH if being in Commons does mean permission, then uploading the WikiCities logo there with a license similar to those of the WikiMedia trademarks would solve the problem.)

As a side note, the and  logos are under GFDL in Commons. Is this incorrect then?

Control, Independence, or Death
Why do you keep bugging me? I did not mean to attract unwanted attention, but i don't want anymore interference with my user pages! Stop being my enemy, i'm trying to get away from all my problems on the wiki. I'm looking for a freely editable website where my user pages can be left alone in peace and privacy. No one (except me) controls my user page because his/her changes to my user pages will disappoint me and no one controls what i do to my user pages (i don't vandalize them though). Stop destroying my user page, the content i put on there is very important to me. I don't like to use my user pages for project purposes only - it's too boring! I have many user pages on the internet, but i combine them as links to my user pages. I keep my user page as half-fact and half-fiction. What i am doing to my user pages is not spamming - i hate spam! Stop giving comments against me - they make me angry and stop chasing me across the wiki - i don't want to die!

On the other hand, my user content includes my work on the wiki, again, you misunderstood my "revolutionary reformation" ideas and you wrongly interpret me as a threat. I don't want anyone to become my enemies who are intent on destroying me and banishing me from the entire wiki, so please leave me alone in peace! -- Eddyward Telerionus 10:08, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

New York Wikicity
Hi, it's Pharos of the English Wikipedia here (I can confirm this on en.wikipedia if you want). I would like to revive the rather moribund New York Wikicity (if it's not yet been put on the adoption list, it's pretty darn close; see changes over the last 30 days). So I am requesting admin status on newyork.wikicities. Maybe I should be given bureaucrat status as well. Thanks.--Pharos 00:03, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Wikiversity
It looks like Wikiversity might finally be kicked out of wikibooks. Is there any way that Wikiversity could exist as a wikicity until it gets designated as a stand-alone project? Maybe wikiversity could just move to the university node wiki --JWSchmidt 20:56, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * Universitywikinodewiki was actually meant to have been locked ages ago. It's superceded by education: and students:, the former of which could provide a place for the Wikiversity pages on Wikibooks. However, the vision I have of Wikiversity requires software changes, so I don't see much benefit to simply moving the pages off Wikibooks to any site here. If it was to be here, it ought to be hosted without ads, since we're currently trying to find grants to support its development, which aren't so likely to come if it appears to be hosted on a commercial site. Angela (talk) 21:40, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * Hello Angela, I indicated support for leaving Wikiversity as it is on its talk page. I have put work on a New Testament translation on both Wikibooks (Christianity) and Religion-Wiki (User:Athrash). Wikibooks admins may have a problem with Christianity as a title which is evangelizing in itself. They called parts of it: raw Bible. So what, it all qualifies as annotated texts and is non-denominational. I only go to Religion occasionly to keep a back-up possibility, Gareth has helped me with the classic languages. I just found the Main Page redirected to WP:nonsense and have no admin credentials. That was a puzzle, but I was able to revert using URL address for Religion Main Page History. All of the entries of 67.181.63.245 may have similar results and I did not have time to check them all. Athrash 03:36, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Investments & Cities
Amazingly enough, the vandals do not seem to have found either, the relative lack of activity notwithstanding. I just finished creating a new logo for Investments, it only took three programs to create the darn thing. Now I would like to upload and need admin privs. Also since only CocoaZen and Myself will admit to mucking about on the cities wiki, maybe we could be made admins there as well.

One other thing that concerns me is that the statistics don't seem to be functioning properly for Investments. I know Investments isn't doing all that much as yet, but I would appreciate if someone would take a look at it eventually. Among other things, it doesn't seem interested in showing up in the comparison table at www.wikicities.com/wikistats/EN/TablesDatabaseSize.htm.--Kirk 03:20, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

.doc support for toastmasters wikicity?
Flushed with my success at http://toastmasters.wikicities.com I've started not one, but two conference wikicities. One for a conference in October and another in May 2006. I started them today, monday 15 august and am promoting them aggressively.

I think the http://toastmasters.wikicities.com site would really benefit from having .doc support. Many of the resources we currently use are in .doc support. .doc is also much smaller than .pdf so is bandwidth friendly.
