Listele de monumente istorice

Cu privire la remarca dv. de la cafenea, o posibilitate ar fi comasarea coloanelor. Eu aș pune butoanele de semnalare a erorii în prima coloană, sub coduri, aș comasa localitate + adresă + coordonate (sortarea după localitate mi se pare suficientă), și datare + creatori (sortarea după datare va sorta practic și creatorii). --Turbojet  31 august 2020 12:34 (EEST)Răspunde

Mulțumesc pentru sugestii. Mă gândeam și eu să le combin, însă din păcate nu pot adăuga cheile de sortare pentru că listele mari (Sectorul 1, Cluj C) sunt deja extrem de aproape de limita de 2MiB după randare și le stric. Vreau însă neapărat să dau mai mult loc pentru adresă pentru că e cea mai mare. Strainu (دسستي‎)  31 august 2020 19:06 (EEST)Răspunde

Tech News: 2020-37

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [3]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
• All MediaWiki API modules will now use watchlist instead of watch. This was inconsistent before. [4]

Future changes

• The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
• OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [5]
• The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [6][7]
• Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
• Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a .menu class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use nav ul instead. .vectorTabs and .vectorMenu will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

Nu știu cine gândește acest concurs, dar îl gândește prost. Ex.: premiu pt cele mai multe monumente fotografiate. Asta sună ca naiba, ambiguu. Am 100000 de imagini cu monumente. Dacă editez câte 50 de imagini, iau premiul în fiecare an fără probleme. Ce să fac cu el, e cât sparge nevastă-mea la o oprire la benzinărie pe freshuri, cafele și țigări. Aici e nevoie de suflu nou, să „fill in the gaps” cum ne spunea individul ăla plinuț la webinar și că așteaptă voluntarii, lucru care ni-a produs, la propriu, greață. Eu am cheltuit în 12 ani mai mult decât bugetul INPului pe un an, numai că ei sunt plătiți (bine). Ce ar fi să își mai miște fundurile din birouri. Ar trebui premiat strict conținut nou, așa se fac pași înainte. Singurul din afara wikipediei care a adus conținut nou a fost Popa (Kokelburg), care întâmplător e din satul în care bunicul meu a fost preot, Cetatea de Baltă, și pe care nici nu îl cunosc, diferența de vârstă fiind mare. S-a ales cu câteva rânduri în cronica concursului, nici măcar cu un premiu (simbolic). Normal că nu a mai pus piciorul aici, e frustrant pentru oricine.--Țetcu Mircea Rareș 8 septembrie 2020 18:14 (EEST)

CEllen coordonează de anul trecut și încearcă să țină pe linia de plutire un concurs care din punctul meu de vedere și-a pierdut de mult (din 2015) din suflu.

Proiectul a început ca un concurs pentru fotografi, adică se punctau doar fotografiile artistice. Kokelburg e unul din cei care au schimbat oarecum targetul într-un concurs între țări. Era diferit de alții care au încărcat mii de fotografii prin faptul că nu era un membru al comunității și că imaginile lui erau foarte valoroase din punct de vedere enciclopedic, dar nu și artistic. Noi nu eram pregătiți la momentul respectiv pentru așa ceva și juriul nu l-a selectat. După, am încercat să mai iau legătura cu el, mi-a răspuns sec că nu-l interesează și asta a fost. Trist, dar se întâmplă.

Pentru fotografii profesioniști, concursul nu e foarte atractiv datorită premiilor mici și caracterului de nișă, preponderent online. Astea sunt generate de 2 factori: faptul că nu avem timp și oameni pentru a primi mai mult de 2000$ de la WMF și faptul că nefiind ONG înregistrat e foarte complicat de plătit impozitul pentru premii. Sigur, fiind România s-ar putea merge "pe burtă", dar asta are niște riscuri pentru cel care umblă cu banii. Am încercat noi în niște ani să colaboram cu un ONG, a mers oarecum, dar interesele finale erau divergente, ei nu puteau sustine concursul fără o implicare majoră din partea unor wikipediști.

Rămân oamenii de patrimoniu, pentru care formatul ăsta de concurs recurent nu e cel mai potrivit. Ei sunt obișnuiti să meargă pe proiecte limitate în timp, în care să facă cât mai mult/tot dintr-o zonă, apoi să meargă mai departe. Acolo lupta cea mare va fi la a-i face să înțeleagă că licența comercială a Wikipediei nu le afectează de fapt munca.

Sigur, și premierea conținutului nou ar fi o idee, dar trebuie cântărită împreună cu FoP și mânăriile aferente și gradul de acoperire de 53% pe care îl avem la case și statui - practic nu ar mai rămâne așa multe monumente eligibile.

Visul meu ar fi să organizez într-o zi Wiki Loves Romania, în care să documentăm fotografic cât mai mult din satele/monumentele/rezervațiile naturale ale României. Din păcate timpul liber mi-e total insuficient pentru așa ceva. În concluzie, cine are timp și voință face ce poate. Dacă puteți, implicați-vă, ori în organizare, ori vorbind cu Albabos, Bogdan Sălaj, Kokelburg și alții care au mai fost pe aici pentru a vedea cum se poate colabora cu ei în noua realitate în care lucrăm. Poate nu mai sunt interesati să lucreze ei, dar îi pot antrena pe alții, cum făcea Iulian Macreanu în proiectul cu WWI.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  8 septembrie 2020 21:02 (EEST)Răspunde

Domnule Strainu, d.p. meu de vedere o fotografie a unui monument greu accesibil, care nu e documentat deloc valorează mult m. mult decât o fotografie artistică a unui monument arhicunoscut. Pentru aia nu trebuie decât să stăpânești niște efecte speciale. Să vă spun că m-am dus la Dealu Geoagiului cu primarul din Întregalde pe o motocicletă de teren când am cinci hernii de disc; și atunci vedeam ... Starea de sănătate nu îmi permite să mă implic în organizare, cred că în curând mă întâlnesc cu colegul plecat, dar niște sugestii puteam să fac, nu cred că cunoaște cineva mai bine situația monumentelor, din Ardeal cel puțin. Pe Baboș și Ilieș nu cred că o să îi mai vedeți vreodată pe aici, iar de antrenat pe alții nici atât. Lui Baboș i-am reproșat, în privat, abandonarea proiectului, faptul că a venit doar cât a avut granturi și i-am spus în ce situație sunt. Nici o reacție. Ferește-mă, Doamne, de prieteni, că de dușmani mă apăr singur ...--Țetcu Mircea Rareș 8 septembrie 2020 21:25 (EEST)

Salut! Te rog sa deblochezi aceasta pagina pentru a putea edita continutul. Informatiile din articol sunt neactualizate sau pur si simplu complet false. Steaua si-a schimbat comandantul, lotul de jucatori este altul, se vorbeste in introducere de un antrenor care nu mai are treaba cu echipa de vreo 2 sezoane, sunt greseli gramaticale, afirmatii contradictorii sau propozitii care se termina brusc, fara nicio noima.

Puteați face aceste modificări atunci când protejarea era mai redusă, dar nu ați făcut-o. În schimb, ați introdus informații contestate, cu surse slabe. De ce?--Strainu (دسستي‎)  9 septembrie 2020 14:49 (EEST)Răspunde

Pai le-am facut, dar le-ati sters. Nu mi-a contestat nimeni informatiile. M-ati blocat si pe mine, si pe userul care imi stergea editarile (NEARGUMENTAT), si ati lasat asa cum a vrut el. E corect? Poftim exprimare din articol: ,,Această societate, cunoscută azi sub numele de SC Fotbal Club FCSB SA." Unde e predicatul? Sunt foarte multe greseli pe pagina respectiva.

Bună ziua,

Am văzut că ați șters pagina lui Dominic Samuel Fritz. Am vrea să o republicăm. Am văzut că lipseau unele informații. Cred că le putem oferi, dacă e nevoie.

Poate fi recuperat conținutul anterior cumva?

Mulțumesc, Vlad

Vladsendroiu, articolul avea 2 fraze și nicio sursă. Vă sfătuiesc să dezvoltați articolul în pagina de teste și când ajunge la un nivel decent îl puteți muta la titlul Dominic Samuel Fritz.

Citiți și țineți cont de politicile WP:N, WP:V, WP:PDVN, WP:D, WP:CdI precum și de manualul de stil.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  14 septembrie 2020 18:29 (EEST)Răspunde

Medalii

Ultimul comentariu: acum 4 ani3 comentarii2 persoane în discuție

Bună ziua. Știu că sunteți pasionat de căi ferate, știți ceva despre asemenea medalii de la inaugurarea de luni? Inițial am zis că e vreo glumă. :)--Kun Kipcsak (discuție) 16 septembrie 2020 10:44 (EEST)Răspunde

Nu e o glumă, am primit și eu acum vreo 3 ani când au fost zilele porților deschise la M5. Sunt niște tinichele ordinare, se joacă copiii cu a mea. Or avea vreo valoare pentru colecționari, nu știu... Enciclopedic nu cred că sunt relevante.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  16 septembrie 2020 11:28 (EEST)Răspunde

La un asemenea eveniment ca inaugurarea mă gândeam că ar merita pus la articol. :)

Din păcate nu sunt pentru colecție, sunt doar niște gunoaie cu print...--Kun Kipcsak (discuție) 16 septembrie 2020 12:28 (EEST)Răspunde

Tech News: 2020-39

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• There is a new tag for reverted edits. For example you can see it in the recent changes feed or in the article history. It is added to edits when they have been undone, rollbacked or manually reverted to an older version of the page. [10][11]

Changes later this week

• The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them. [12]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

Commons - Media Sarch, new feedback round

Ultimul comentariu: acum 4 ani1 comentariu1 persoană în discuție

Greetings,

I'm following up on a message from earlier in the year about the prototype development for Special:MediaSearch. Based on community feedback, the Structured Data team has developed some new features for Special:MediaSearch and are seeking another round of comments and discussions about the tool. Commons:Structured_data/Media_search is updated with details about the new features plus some other development information, and feedback is welcome on Commons talk:Structured_data/Media_search. Media Search works in any language, so the team would especially appreciate input around support for languages other than English. I look forward to reading about what you think. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 23 septembrie 2020 23:05 (EEST)Răspunde

(The Adaugă paginile pe care le modific la lista de pagini urmărite setting was probably likewise ineffective, but this was not tested specifically.) Affected tools include QuickStatements, Mix'n'Match, and Wikidata Lexeme Forms; users of these and other tools may see more pages being added to their watchlists now. (This only applies to new edits and page creations; previously created or edited pages will not be automatically added to the watchlist retroactively.)
  • Working on the basic building blocks of the Query Builder towards making it possible to create the first very simple query with it
  • Talking to people about comparing Wikidata's data against other databases and flagging mismatches
  • Fixing an issue with Item creations via the API by blocked users leading to skipped entity IDs (phab:T232620)
  • Fixed an input issue with invisible characters (phab:T261071)
  • Finishing the draft of the REST API spec to get it ready for feedback
  • WikibaseManifest: created a separate key for local entities and decided what we do about non-local entity sources based on tool-builder feedback (phab:T263527) and specifying the API in OpenApi format (phab:T262919)
