[edit] == Interlangua featured articles

Sorry about deleting the Interlangua link without any explanation. I wasn't sure if it was the Interlangua equivalent of the English FA, and since there wasn't an interlanguage link in WP:FA linking to this page. CG 09:05, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quogoquipan's World Renownd Talk Page Debates..

..Needs YOU! We're recruiting, for new members, and if succesful we hope to eventually gather the support nessesary to make our own wikiproject, almost like a wiki-debate club, it should be fun.. Hello, would you like to join me in one of my stimulating user:talk:page debates?--Quogoquipan 02:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested article

  • Nice to meet you, Mr. Mithridates! I'm Hatto from Japan. I knew that you have a Korean ability. However, I can't understand Korean language. and so, I'd like you to edit Masashi Tashiro's article in Korean. Of course, you may make his article from Japanese, English wikipedia. I'd make his article in various languages. Now, there's his Esperanto, English, Japanese, Chinese article. Can I let you edit his Korean article. Hatto 15:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Louis Couturat

If there has been no English-language biography published on him, then that would certainly make an FA article on him worthy of the George Psalmanazar Prize in Forgotten Biography. Indeed, he seems just the sort of person that the prize was intended for, a scholar whose work may be underappreciated by Anglophone readers just because of the linguistic barrier. I'm not that familiar with the subject, but I'll be glad to help with peer review on this.--Pharos 02:08, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanto and Ido compared

Hi! I wanted your help with the history section of this article. Obviously, I am an Esperantist, and don't want it to become biased either way. Also, I hope the section will not simply rehash the history of the two languages, but instead be a history of the two movements' relationship. Any opinions, suggestions, etc? Jon 00:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I don't really read Ido well. I guess for me it is the equivilant of a modern English speaker trying to read Shakespeare or perhaps Chaucer: vaguely familiar, but still different enough to be daunting. I guess the main reason I've stuck with Eo over Ido is the availability of materials and community. I do personally believe there are some flaws in Eo that could use correcting, but in some ways, I think Ido went a bit too far. It's as if Courutat and de Beaufront couldn't help to tinker. But, as they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." A friend of mine and I, for our own fun, devised our own Esperantido called "Intero" (because it was supposed to be "between" Ido and Esperanto), but it sort of took off in its own direction. There is actually an article on the Eo Wikipedia about it: eo:Intero. Apparently my friend put it on Langmaker.com, and someone caught wind of it and put it there.
As far as my Eo level, I read it better than I speak or write it, probably because its easier to discern meaning, then to form it oneself. As I said above, I want the information presented to be as neutral as possible, and hopefully we can collaborate on the article. I would also like to translate it into Esperanto some time...maybe you could do the same for Ido. Also, have you seen the conlang wikiportal: Portal:Constructed languages? Talk to you later!

[edit] Ido Wikipedia

When you create articles on the Ido Wikipedia based on articles on the English Wikipedia, you should mention in your edit summaries there that it is a translation of the corresponding article on the English Wikipedia, per the GNU Free Documentation License, and also so that the articles' authors can be properly credited. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 16:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

As far as I know, there should always be a mention in the edit summary of where it came from, but I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by your reference to using a template. Extraordinary Machine 17:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Oh, sorry. I didn't know what template you meant. It looks fine to me. Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 17:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Smith FA

I'm aware of the policy. Is it normal for a FA to be vandalized every 5 minutes, however? It seems like such a waste of time to have to constantly revert it—the article was controversial to begin with. It would still be editable, but just not by anonymous users.

Thanks for being bold and reverting the move to provide for proper debate. I didn't want to debate on a talk page, revert it myself, and get into a revert war. I appreciate your help. -Scm83x 12:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Heh. No problem. That was harder than I thought. Don't know how I got the page itself and the talk page to have different names. Mithridates 13:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Don't forget to check the box that says "Move talk also". Thanks. -Scm83x 13:16, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Conlang WikiProject

Hello!

It has recently been brought to my attention that you might be interested in participating in the new WikiProject concerning constructed languages. The project has been created to observe, maintain, organize and improve all articles on Wikipedia relating to constructed languages. If you are interested, please add your name to the "Participants" section, and also feel free to add anything to the project page, the to-do list, or leave a comment on the talk page. Also, please check out the constructed languages portal.

Thank you!

[edit] Press contact details

If you are receiving this message, you are either a new, existing, or possible future press contact for one of the languages you speak. What does this mean, being a press contact?

The Wikimedia Foundation runs a Communications Committee, which co-ordinates requests for interviews from the press. When we receive a request for an interview, often the journalist wants to interview someone that speaks their "native tongue", or someone that lives in the same country as their publication. For this reason, it is important the the Communications Committee keeps an up-to-date log of contributors that they can trust to represent the community in a professional manner.

This list of press contacts has started to grow. The goal is to eventually have at least one trusted user on the list from every country in the world, and one user for every language that the Foundation runs a project in.

What are your responsibilities? Whenever a journalist requests an interview, either by phone, by e-mail, or (rarely) in person, you are able to either answer the interview request, or pass the request off to another user that you trust. Whenever a newsworthy milestone is reached on your project, you should help co-ordinate the creation of a press release, and once it's ready, send it to me to post in your language's press room.

Any questions, comments, or concerns? Contact me directly. -- en:user_talk:zanimum

[edit] Re:Ido

Hi, I signed up on the Ido Wikipedia mostly in order to write a few stubs, considering I don't know any Ido. I have only now read about some simple rules and words and came up with my first article (see Tel Aviv on Ido Wiki). I am interested in learning Ido. Also, yes I can help write an article on Ido on the Hebrew Wiki (if that's what you were asking). -- Ynhockey (Talk) 16:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Mithridates — I need all the help I can get with Korean. The list of languages you know is most impressive. I'm very interested in your translation of lyrics, but can't locate it on the site you referred. Could you show where I can find them? Yeu Ninje 11:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fellow Expat

Hi, I recognized your name from Dave's ESL. I've been editing on Wikipedia for about 9 months now. Just wanted to wave and say I'm glad I'm not the only Expat editing on here. You sure speak a lot of languages. Davidpdx 14:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

My user name is Milwaukiedave on Dave's ESL. I browse the forums a lot, but don't post very much at all. Sometimes ppl on Dave's ESL get too out of hand to deal with. There is a lot of negativity and some people are just not worth interacting with. Don't get my wrong, I've met a lot of nice people on there as well. I mostly just read on there though.

[edit] WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!
Signed...

[edit] minor tweaks of MainPage

Hello, Mithridates. Thanks for starting the Korean Constitution Day article. I see that you've tried quite a few times to get a link to this article onto MainPage. Next time, for minor tweaks of MainPage contents like that, you may want to try WP:ERRORS. There's a link at the top of Talk:Main Page. Hope this helps. -- PFHLai 13:48, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] help with Korean

As I see that you know Korean very well, and you also have an account on it.wikipedia like me, can you please help me a bit with Korean? I was trying to put some names in various languages, in particular those which have something to do with buddhism. For instance, I see that the name "Buddha" can be spelled Fótuó (佛陀) or Fó (佛) in Chinese, and Butsuda (仏陀) or Butsu (仏) in Japanese, so what are the Korean spellings? And the characters? One should be Bul (불) I think, right? Also, what's the Korean name of Sun Wukong/Son Goku (孫悟空)? The characters should be 손오공 but the spelling? Thank you very much. --Εξαίρετος (msg)

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was looking for. Bye --Εξαίρετος (msg)

[edit] Hi

Mithridates: Good job on your Wiki, keep up the nice work. If I come across anything else that is free I will definitely post it on the notice board.

Also, I just wanted to ask you if you ever get the time to take pictures, if you were planning to hit the National Museum of Korea? I think Korea-related Wikipedia articles are still lacking in the images department, espcially pre historical items like pottery and historical artifacts from Baekje, Goguryeo, Balhae, and Goryeo. I've been begging a lot of flickr users online but they seem pretty reticent to change their licenses. So if you ever decide to go that would be great. Thanks. Tortfeasor 05:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

So that's why the flickr pictures of the National Musuem are so shaky ;) ! I've been working to try to get Korean cultural items, espcially items related to the Three Kingdoms era, up to snuff because the history section on Wikipedia could use some improvement. Most of my contributions are on this list: National treasures of Korea. I would definitly enjoy reading your translations if you posted them to see how I fared. Tortfeasor 21:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice to see your comments on What the Bleep

... and meet a fellow expat (I live in the Czech Republic, though, not Korea, although I have some good friends who are from that part of the world). Sometimes I get weary of some of the types of things that go on here in the name of science. I'm afraid there are very few people left who know (or care) what the word "science" originally meant. Something can't qualify as knowledge (or truth) if it keeps getting revised and re-invented. Not only that, but so much of what "science" does these days is merely describing phenomena and assigning more-or-less arbitrary words to them. You know? It's heavy on the "what" and "when" and "where", barely scratches the surface of "how", and completely ignores the "why". --Smithfarm 10:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright on Galbijim

Hi Mithridates! Thanks for your notice about the wrong colored islands on the map I drew.

Since you wrote, that you are a sysob on Galbijim, I take the chance to ask you a question I have for some time now: Of course I like the idea of Galbijim Wiki, but as far as I can tell, you violate the GFDL quite often. Articles and most images on Wikipedia are not public domain. You can use the articles under the rules of the GFDL and images under the terms of the specified license. For example, my map neither credits me as the author nor is there any hint, that this image is available under the terms of the GFDL. Same is true for Busan, which is obviously a copy of Busan (also both versions have modified since then). I'm sure, there are much more examples.

I just saw, that the contents of Galbijim Wiki are available under the terms of the GFDL, but that info is hidden very well. From my point of view this is still a violation of the GFDL, because if you reuse articles under the GFDL, it should be stated clearly (actually the license requires to deliver the whole license text, but that would be to much I guess ^^). Also the authors should get their attribution by linking to the page history. Link it from the discussion page, if you don't like to see it in the article. Thank you. ^^ -- iGEL (talk) 22:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi - we do have a template here that articles from Wikipedia need: http://wiki.galbijim.com/Template:Wikipedia As per your request I've updated it so that it goes directly to the history page of the article as well. Most articles that are brought in from Wikipedia have the template, but every once in a while something like Busan sneaks by.
For images, I wonder if it wouldn't just be best to have a prominent link on the page with a note on "see the copyright information on the image page" because there are so many if you look on the Commons. Some are copyright free because of NASA, some because they were from the USSR, some because the author wished it, others are GFDL, etc. I was hoping that a direct link to the page that has info on the copyright would be enough. Tell me what you think of this template I just created and put on your map. Would that be enough? Mithridates 00:54, 5. Nov. 2006 (CET)
Hi! Thank you for your efforts. I'm no copyright expert, but from my point of view this template is enough. Maybe you want to list Galbijim Wiki on Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks, the people there will tell you, if it is enough. Regards, iGEL (talk) 08:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

You should have said, "Ich studiere deutsch auch." Remember, the verb comes 2d in almost every sentence. For instance, you could have also said "auch studiere ich deutsch." Just a thought, babe. Stay sexy... Vampyragurl 20:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interlingua featured article

Hey Mith, thanks for bringing that up, I’ve thought about the idea and I appreciate your letting me know more about it. It would be great to have a million viewers see the article in one day. I’ve been known to write well, I have quite a few publications. I’m hesitant about making the time commitment, but it’s definitely worth considering.

Your writing is great, very thoughtful and well-documented. Your song in Ido is well-written too. I actually learned Ido before I learned Interlingua, and at one point, I wrote a few songs in Ido. By the way, would you happen to know what the Korean word for Interlingua is? I could put it under translations in the Wiktionary Interlingua entry.

I orginally put this response on top of your page, and I just now moved it to the bottom. Sorry 'bout that! — Matt 00:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks much for sending me the translation, I put it up in the Wiktionary. Yeah, if I do an FA, I’ll probably take even longer than that, because I’ve been working late recently.
I started with Esperanto too. Honestly I found it kind of unsightly, and the need to stress every word on the penultimate syllable started to cloy after a while. But the Esperanto book I read said that all the other auxiliary languages had died out or had never got off the ground. I started to notice inconsistencies in the book, and wondered if another language, probably Ido, really had an active group of speakers. I eventually located some Ido organizations. I learned Ido easily, and it definitely had its plusses. It was great for poetry, for example. But I wondered if some of the other auxiliary languages were out there too. I eventually got in contact with some speakers of Interlingua. It was a pretty successful language and the most appealing one I had found so far. I was impressed by the soundness of its development. So that’s how I got to be an Interlingua speaker.
Wow, I didn’t know that the founders of Novial and Occidental had died too. Alexander Gode and Hugh Blair both died suddenly, just as Interlingua was starting to make real progress. I think it was Louis Couturat who died in a motor-car accident just as Ido was starting to take off.
True, the Ido people have always had that name to grapple with. English speakers assume it’s pronounced eye dough unless you put the pronunciation in parentheses. The name probably confuses Japanese and Spanish speakers, since it’s a word in their languages. It’s ironic, because the language itself is pretty ingenious.
I think you should go with the language you enjoy the most. Interlingua is fairly popular in Japan, so they seem to accept an auxiliary language that isn’t always spelled as sounded. Anyhow, in the end, ya gotta go with a language that can translate My Big Fat Greek Wedding as Mi Grosse Grasse Nuptias Grec. Just kidding… Matt 01:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ELs

Hey, just a couple of thoughts on the disagreement you've been having with T-rex, forgive me if this is old news. I've been in a couple of EL related debates recently, and it seems that you're both right and therefore both wrong... linking to GalbiJim should be fine re: SPAM & EL given the nature of the site, but it's unlikely that any page there has reached a point beyond which a Wikipedia page would reach if it was a featured article, pretty much a given as they are both wikis.. the real WP solution would be to paste the information across rather than link out. GJ is a good resource tho, I wouldn't personally remove the links.. Deizio talk 02:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LFN Wiki

Sounds like you guys are doing what the Pennsylvania Dutch folks did. Worked for them, though transferring it may have been a little bit of a hassle. At the Norman Wikipedia, we made a test-wiki at beta that got quite large (these days they do them at the Incubator), clearly demonstrating the success of the project. I personally feel like that works well enough, but I don't know if one method is better than another. The Jade Knight 13:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Another thing about the LFN wiki, didn't think I should have to make a new bit with the same title. Is there any progress on fixing new user creation at the wiki? It seems that if you want to become a Wikipedia someday, you would allow those who will add to your articles a great deal to become members of your Wiki so they can edit and create articles. Still waiting, after two weeks. Thanks, Mith. Chuffable 22:02, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In response to a parenthetical question on WP:AN/I

(hope I don't have to be an administrator to post here) — don't worry, anybody can post to the admin's noticeboards. The noticeboards are designed to bring things that might require administrator intervention to the notice of administrators, but anybody can comment on a situation to report something in the first place, provide information, comment on a discussion, or for any other reason (there are probably several I haven't thought of). The reason that the boards have 'administrator' in their names is that the resolution of the discussions often involves actions that only an administrator can perform (usually blocking users or protecting pages), but community input is helpful when trying to determine what to do in a situation. Hope that helps! --ais523 18:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I was just stopping by here to mention the same thing. I believe there's been off-and-on discussion about changing to name to avoid just that sort of impression. But either way, all users are welcome to post. Cheers! :) – Luna Santin (talk) 20:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help (again)

Hello Mithridates! I asked for your help some time ago, before I even had an account here; now I need help again, and as you were so nice, I decided to abuse of your time some more :-P I'm currently translating some articles on the shōguns from en.wiki to it.wiki, and I happened to find a reference to the "Purple Clothes Incident" (or "Scandal"), but I didn't really understand what happened; here it says that a commoner was introduced to the imperial court, and I can guess that it broke a taboo, but I just can't understand why the Emperor should retire because of that, as if taking responsibility for it. So, could you please read ja:紫衣事件 and tell me what it says? I'm not asking for a translation, just a quick briefing :) Thanks in advance! --Εξαίρετος (msg) 19:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much; based on that and the info from the articles here I can understand what happened, and I can elaborate some more in both wikis. You're great! :) --Εξαίρετος (msg) 17:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ido Wikiquote

Saluto! Are you still interested in this: m:Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiquote_Ido? The original request expired. You would have to start a new one. Regards, Malafaya (talk) 20:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please help

I noticed that you are a member of the constructed languages wikiproject and request temporary help in the glosa page. You don't need to actively edit it, just make it so that it is no longer copyright infringement/make a sub-page of its current text for me in glosa/temp. Sorry for asking this of you, but I would really not like this page to be deleted. Also, if you can help me learn Esperanto/Ido/Novial?/Japanese in your free-time, that would be great! :) -76.188.26.92 (talk) 22:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Galbijim Wiki. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. east.718 at 19:42, December 15, 2007

Sorry for the delayed response, but try a RfC or mediation. Cheers! east.718 at 04:00, December 16, 2007

[edit] Galbijim Wiki

I saw your note on the Korea Wiki Project Page. I'll add that one to my watch list. I'm not around too much anymore because frankly I've gotten sick of some of the crap people pull on Wikipedia. I also don't know a heck of a lot about the Galbijim website other then having visited it 2 or 3 times. Just to let you know, on the last revert, you accidentally took out the number of pages that Galbijim Wiki had. You might want to add that back in. Davidpdx (talk) 03:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peano

Dear Mith, I'm Aubrey from Italian Wikisource. I know you want some stuff about latino sine flexione, but I found out only this site with some Peano's works. Here you can find the italian essay where he explained his new language. Enjoy. Aubrey 23:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
