Disputatio Usoris:UV/2006

Salve!

Willkommen in der lateinischen Wikipedia! :-) --Roland2 10:31, 14. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Ob salutationem gratias ago. ;-) --UV 02:14, 15. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Latina mercatoria

... für diesen Fall habe ich kürzlich Plan B vorgeschlagen: Seiten, die es in anderen Wikipedias nicht (oder noch nicht) gibt, sollte man auch irgendwie mit einem (speziellen) Template markieren. Sind ja was Besonderes ... Was hältst Du davon? --Roland2 00:15, 16. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Sehr gute Idee, denn dann erkennt man die Seiten, bei denen schon einmal jemand (erfolglos) nach passenden Interwikilinks gesucht hat und hat zugleich auf einen Blick die „Alleinstellungsmerkmale“ der la.wp.

Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher, ob man diese Gruppe noch einmal differenzieren muss:

• in Seiten, die zwar derzeit noch in keiner anderen Wikipedia existieren, wo es aber durchaus möglich wäre, dass diese Seiten zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erstellt werden (und die man daher nach einiger Zeit wieder überprüfen sollte) und
• in Seiten, die in aller Zukunft niemals in anderssprachigen Wikipedias aufscheinen werden.

Ich glaube eher nicht, dass es Seiten gibt, die in die letztgenannte Kategorie fallen, aber vielleicht übersehe ich da etwas?

Herzlich, --UV 01:03, 16. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Ja, so habe ich das gemeint. Ioshus Rocchio hat's auch gut gefunden, ich dachte zuerst, es wäre übertrieben ... oder sagen wir so: Man würde es als übertrieben ansehen. Ob es Seiten gibt, die in aller Zukunft ... nein, das kann ich mir nicht vorstellen. Vor allem, wenn man Seiten wie "la:Die Geschichte der lat. WP" und "fr:Die Geschichte der frz. WP" als zu verlinkende Seiten ansieht. Jetzt bräuchten wir noch einen Titel, einen Text und eine Kategorie für ein solches Template ... ;-) Übrigens: Ich glaube, das regelmäßige Kontrollieren könnten wir uns auch sparen, denn alleine die Behauptung, "diese Seite hat keiner", könnte bei anderen Wikipedianern den Sportsgeist wecken und schon haben wir einen Interwikilink. ;-) --Roland2 01:39, 16. Mai 2006 (CEST)

P. S.: Deine Änderungen sind in den "Letzten Änderungen" irritierend rot, weil nix auf Deiner Userseite steht. ;-)

Was den Sportsgeist betrifft, hast Du sicherlich recht, aber das wäre ja – für die Wikipedias in allen Sprachen zusammengenommen gesehen – nur positiv!

zur roten Benutzerseite: muss man denn immer so viel über sich selbst offenbaren? ;-) --UV 01:50, 16. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Es würde z. B. {{Nuntii latine placent}} genügen, dann weiß man, wie Du's gern hast. :-) --Roland2 01:54, 16. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Nexus emendandi

Georgius usori, c.n. "UV", salutem plurimam dicit. Noli, amabo, nimis temere nexus Slovachiae, sit venia verbo, quasi emendare; ego enim homines doctos sententiam rogare velim. Itaque fieri potest, ut nomen Slovaciae restituam et hanc emendationem meam argumentis satis bene affirmem. Valeas quam optime. --83.184.130.151 09:29, 16. Mai 2006 (CEST) Georgius ex Vicipaedia Latina

Georgium UV salutem dicit.

I am sorry that I did not look on the discussion page and thus I did not notice that the move was disputed. I just came across a double redirect on Specialis:DoubleRedirects (Slovacia -> Slovakia -> Slovachia) and I fixed not only the double redirect but a few other links as well, not knowing the move had taken place without much reasons given and without discussion. Of course I will not change any further links to Slova[k|ch]ia. Feel free to move the article back if you think Slovakia is more appropriate. Greetings, --UV 00:42, 17. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Es tut mir leid, dass ich nicht auf die Diskussionsseite geschaut habe und dass ich daher nicht gesehen habe, dass die Verschiebung umstritten ist. Ich habe unter Specialis:DoubleRedirects einen doppelten Redirect gefunden (Slovacia -> Slovakia -> Slovachia) und bei dieser Gelegenheit nicht nur den doppelten Redirect, sondern gleich auch ein paar weitere Links geändert – in guter Absicht. Selbstverständlich werde ich keine weiteren Links auf Slova[k|ch]ia ändern. Gerne kannst Du den Artikel zurückverschieben, wenn Du meinst, dass Slovakia das richtige Lemma ist. Herzliche Grüße, --UV 00:42, 17. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Gratias multas tibi ago omniaque bona tibi precor. Thanks and I wish you everything good. Vielen Dank und ich wünsch dir alles gute. Georgius ex Vicipaedia Latina, --83.184.166.61 14:37, 17. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Commons

Hallo, sollten die Commons-Verweise nicht besser (nur) im Artikel stehen, statt (auch) in der Kategorie? Ich meine, sie stören nicht, aber es ist ein zusätzlicher Aufwand. Ich finde, auf der Kategorie-Seite sollte eher nur stehen, was in diese Kategorie kommen soll und eventuell was nicht. --Roland2 17:42, 21. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Du hast natürlich recht, dass man den Commons-Link auch dann finden wird, wenn er im Hauptartikel der Kategorie untergebracht ist. Daher ist der Commons-Link in der Kategorie sicherlich nicht besonders wichtig.

Andererseits aber finde ich die Interwiki-Links (von einer Kategorie in einer Sprache zu den entsprechenden Kategorien in anderen Sprachen) schon sehr hilfreich. Und gehört da dann nicht logisch eigentlich auch der Commons-Link dazu (der sich halt leider nicht bei den anderen Interwiki-Links unterbringen lässt)?

Was meinst Du dazu? Herzlich, --UV 18:12, 21. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Wie gesagt, es stört mich nicht, ich glaube aber, daß es nicht viel bringt, vorausgesetzt, - tja ... - jede Kategorie hat einen "Hauptartikel", also "Poetae" hat "Poeta" usw. Das ist leider derzeit nicht immer der Fall, da ist es dann schon gut, wenn der Link auf Commons auf der Kategorienseite steht. Jetzt gibt es sogar Artikel, die selbst keinen Commons-Link haben, aber die zugehörige Kategorie hat einen. ;-)

Interwiki-Links zwischen Kategorien sind theoretisch sogar wichtiger als Interwiki-Links zwischen Artikeln, aber um diese Art Interwiki-Links habe ich mich bis jetzt noch nicht sehr gekümmert. In der Praxis bleiben die Leser wahrscheinlich meist im Artikelbereich ... sofern genügend weiterführende Links angeboten werden.

Halt! Jetzt dämmert mir, was Du meinst ...

Meinst Du der Artikel-Commons-Link soll auf die Artikel-Seite, der Kategorien-Commons-Link soll auf die Kategorien-Seite? Die mische ich nämlich durcheinander, muß ich gestehen ...

Wenn Du das meinst, hast Du 100 % recht.

--Roland2 21:48, 21. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Also ich gehe so vor:

• (selbstverständlich) von Kategorien nur Interwiki-Links zu Kategorien
• (selbstverständlich) von Artikeln nur Interwiki-Links zu Artikeln
• (noch immer logisch) von Kategorien einen Link nur auf Commons-Kategorien (nicht auf Commons-Artikel)
• (zugegebenermaßen etwas uneinheitlich) von Artikeln vorzugsweise einen Link auf einen Commons-Artikel, in begründeten Fällen aber setze ich auch von Artikeln einen Link auf eine Commons-Kategorie (z. B. es gibt keinen Commons-Artikel, oder der Commons-Artikel ist wesentlich schlechter als die Commons-Kategorie). So geschehen z. B. heute hier.

Hältst Du das für sinnvoll? Herzlich, --UV 23:00, 21. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Ich mach's genauso, außer beim letzten Punkt, da hab ich bisher oft gar nicht nachgedacht und einfach den Link genommen, wo di e meisten Bilder waren. Also eigentlich auch dasselbe wie Du getan, aber halt ohne speziell darüber nachgedacht zu haben. Ich denke, wir sollten solche Überlegungen auch den anderen mitteilen. Wie waere es mit einer neuen Seite Vicipaedia:Communia? Analog zu Vicipaedia:Categoria. --Roland2 23:16, 21. Mai 2006 (CEST)

ok! --UV 23:39, 21. Mai 2006 (CEST)

Categoria:Auctores

You have marked Categoria:Auctores for deletion and I believe you have reasons why you think we should not use Categoria:Auctores. In this case it is not obvious to me why it should not be used. Even if we had discussed the reasons anywhere, this would not keep people from creating it again. This is the reason why I am generally looking for other solutions than deleting something. It's a similar discussion as I had about {{move ad victionarium}} with Ioshus Rocchio. Alternatives which cross my mind, depending on the reasons:

• a REDIRECT to Categoria:Auctores
• a template saying that this is an unwanted category and categorizing the category below Categoria:Unwanted categories
• a REDIRECT to Categoria:Scriptores and adding a remark there, saying that Categoria:Scriptores is the preferred name for Categoria:Auctores
• etc.

Maybe the categorization pages should keep some hints for categorizing, I mean: what should go into that category and what not.

What do you think?

BTW ... shouldn't we better discuss this on the talk page of Vicipaedia:Categoria?

--Roland2 06:31, 25 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Discussion continues at Disputatio Vicipaediae:Categoria. --UV 13:09, 25 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of 178. dec. et al

I think the situation is more complicated. These pages are referenced many times, see "Nexus ad hanc paginam" on those pages. First we should know, if we want pages about decennia at all. See e. g. the navigation on page 1837. There was a discussion in the taberna before (maybe in January 2006?), however, I cannot find it now. And the discussion stopped before we had a result ... --Roland2 07:06, 25 Maii 2006 (UTC)

I have found it: [1] --Roland2 07:54, 25 Maii 2006 (UTC)

The use of the form "196. dec." seems to be discouraged over the form Decennium 196. I only proposed “broken redirects” (i. e. redirects leading to a non-existing page) for deletion.

What would you think of Formula:Decennium (see 1995 where I applied this formula for purposes of testing)? Feel free to change this formula if you dislike the way it looks. I would be ready to add this formula to all year and decennium pages, and I believe it would ease any further changes of whatever kind.

Greetings, --UV 19:08, 25 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Formula:Decennium

Wow! Great. --Roland2 21:22, 25 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Your Formula:Decennium works as designed :-) It does even more than I expected: Decennium pages are not categorized as "Anni". That's nice. Ich möchte nicht unverschämt sein, but ... could you make a Formula:Annus which takes a year as input and shows the same output? Since your decennium template works - in fact - for decennia and years, it might be even possible to code a generic template (in English maybe "time-navigation", "timenav", ...) which does not need a parameter because it analyses the pagename: "1970", "214 a.C.n.", "Decennium 210", "Saeculum 14", ... maybe it would suffice to make Formula:Decennium work without the parameter. There is also another template which would be really useful, see section "5 Martii" on Disputatio Usoris:Sinister Petrus. Maybe formula:dies. Thanks for Formula:Decennium --Roland2 07:40, 26 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Finally I managed to add Formula:Decennium to all decennium and year pages. I think this template (which shows all years of a given decennium) can serve for both decennia and years.

I do not know how a generic template that analyzes the pagename might be coded: While MediaWiki template syntax allows to concat strings and to test strings for equality (in their entirety), I have not found a possibility to split strings or to match parts of strings, which would IMHO be necessary for properly analyzing the pagename.

Calendars: Sorry, I do not know a good way to produce a calendar either. I looked at the calendar at the English wikipedia and it is not only complicated but also needs to be manually changed for every year. The only thing I could offer (but that is an easy thing to do) is just a list of March 1 to March 31, without any indication of the weekdays.

Greetings, --UV 02:05, 28 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Good work! I think we should either wait until the templates will be more powerful or try to code a bot in a "real" programming language. If someone had a server where we could install such a thing, it would be easier, since - as I was told - the bot has to be installed locally. There are frameworks for Python and Perl, but I think it could be done without a framework as well. --Roland2 06:59, 28 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to iterate the praise of your work on this endeavor. As for the algorithm necessary to make a self-updating calendar, I don't know much about programming, but I used to have a tiny old pill-box on my family's boat which had a calendar on it's top, that just by turning it would give you an accurate calendar for 200 years forward or backward. Surely we can get some 1s and 0s to do the same =].--Ioshus Rocchio 18:54, 28 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Vicipaedia:Magistratus

Thanks for cleaning up. Ok, I'll have a look at Categoria:Deletiones propositae ... --Roland2 17:57, 26 Maii 2006 (UTC)

I thank you as well...I didn't really know how to proceed after the vote. Thanks for the initiative., I'll be having a look, too.--Ioshus Rocchio 18:06, 26 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Roland2 16:26, 28 Maii 2006 (UTC)

Um, sorry … I do not know what you mean … --UV 00:00, 29 Maii 2006 (UTC)

I thought I had changed civitas-stipula to natio-stipula in article Chilia. However, it seems that it did not work. Did it again. Now Formula:Civitas-stipula is not referenced any more. --Roland2 20:29, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

OOPS! Good eye =]. I did a bunch of babel formulae one night, and was kind of zombied out.--Ioshus Rocchio 18:38, 4 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

kobold

Quaeso, inspice Cobaltum#De nomine, ne qua scripsi rationem non habet germano.--Ioshus Rocchio 03:27, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Looks good! I capitalized Kobold, as nouns are always capitalized in German, and changed the second occurrence to Kobolde (nominative plural).

I found sources supporting the first two sentences. Kobold is probably related to the old word kobe or kove or koven, cf. the English word cove.

I did not, however, find any sources for the third sentence (κόβαλος), and although the meaning of the two words is similar, I have some doubts here whether Kobold is in fact etymologically related to κόβαλος or whether the words just sound similar but are in fact unrelated.

Greetings, --UV 21:07, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

I see...look here, here (first and last paragraphs) and en:Talk:Cobalt there about cobalt. This surprised me about cove, but I don't suppose it excludes what you have said. I'm going to do a little more research before I change anything.--Ioshus Rocchio 22:11, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

I should add, this whole thing came about because of what is written in en:Cobalt#History.--Ioshus Rocchio 22:14, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

In my view, it is possible that Kobold and goblin do not exactly share the same etymology.

Your first source, in my view, only describes two possibilities for goblin (one, Kobold, two, κόβαλος), but does not say anything about whether the two might be related to one another.

Your second source (last paragraph, I tried the link that is given in the last paragraph, but the site was not reachable) links Kobold and κόβαλος. So we do have one source, but I still have some doubts.

What if you rephrase the third sentence along the following lines: “Some people think the name may derive from Greek κόβαλος, which may have common roots with goblin.” and avoid mentioning Kobold in the third sentence?

Meaning of κόβαλος: I found meanings similar to the ones you found, I did not find “mine” either.

cove: Kobold is probably a composition of kobe/kove/koven and either -hold or -walt. The first part means shed, pigsty, stable, little house, hut, cage, cavity, and cove should mean shed according to my sources. Kobold in total would then etymologically mean stable-ghost, house-ghost, stable-friend, house-friend, or stable-administrator, house-administrator.

Greetings, --UV 23:24, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Take a look now. Better? Thanks for your suggestions.--Ioshus Rocchio 22:06, 7 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Perfect! --UV 22:13, 7 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

I had a hunch that genitive was wrong =]. Thanks again.--Ioshus Rocchio 22:26, 7 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Grammatically, the genitive was correctly formed (der Fluch des Kobolds = the curse of the goblin). However, the word would require an article in such a phrase, and even with the article, the phrase would not really be correct, as we are speaking about the word here, not about the object designated by the word.

Good article! Greetings, --UV 22:35, 7 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Disputatio Formulae:Delenda

You are right. :-) --Roland2 21:45, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Nationes/populi/gentes

Hi, what is the difference between natio, populus, gens? — Because we have Categoria:Populi, too ... -Roland2 23:49, 7 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

My guess is that

• Categoria:Nationes should encompass States (it is in Categoria:Geographia)
• Categoria:Gentes is in Categoria:Ethnologia and should encompass ethnic groups and peoples
• Categoria:Populi is maybe redundant to Categoria:Gentes.

What do you think? Greetings, --UV 22:22, 8 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

CommonsTicker

I have read about this and saw that other Wikipedias are requesting such a ticker. I think we should have it since someone might find it useful. I personally will probably not do much with it. I mostly include ancient looking images just as a decoration. I've put your information on page Vicipaedia:Praefatio. --Roland2 12:39, 10 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Ok, if I can help, I will. Are there any risks when we request such a ticker? I'll have a look. :-) --Roland2 15:08, 10 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

I had this look. Seems straight. Tell me when I shall do something. --Roland2 15:40, 10 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Fortasse quaestione una sine termino, at ex quibus viserim, tu vir optimus labori. Quispiam putaturus sim ut habemus plurimos errores, qed nexus rubrus ad fundum paginae Vicipaedia:Verba privata.

A perhaps endless question to ask, but from what I have seen youre the man for it. Presumably there are a lot of things that still need fixed around here, for instance on the bottom of my screen is a red link for Vicipaedia:Verba_privata. What, if any, essential Vicipaedia pages do we still have uncopied/translated from Wikipedia? Don't be afraid to tell me about ones that are boring to translate! =]--Ioshus Rocchio 03:35, 13 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your offer! Actually, quite a lot of messages are untranslated or wrongly translated. You can take a look at Specialis:Allmessages (everyone can view those messages, but only administrators can change them). If you come across any interface message that needs translation or improvement, you can search for it on this page and edit it.

To see what the message should say, you can take a look at the same message in the English wikipedia.

To name just a few of my personal “favorites”:

• MediaWiki:Addedwatchtext change to proposed text or improve further
• MediaWiki:Emailforlost grammar: oblitus es
• MediaWiki:Emailuser grammar: usori
• MediaWiki:Istemplate inclusio
• MediaWiki:Recentchangestext throw out all clutter, including all interwiki links (all MediaWiki wikis have their recent changes page at Special:Recentchanges, therefore no need to specify this)
• MediaWiki:Showingresults and MediaWiki:Showingresultsnum is monstrens correct?
• Move MediaWiki:Nogomatch to MediaWiki:Noexactmatch (then delete the resulting redirect MediaWiki:Nogomatch as it is no longer needed) and check grammar
• Any message that has “Wikipedia” in it (in this spelling)

Messages that do not belong into the MediaWiki namespace and that should be deleted:

• MediaWiki:Menses
• MediaWiki:MensesJanuarii

Interface messages that specify a wrong number of parameters (source: [2]): These should be changed, with the English messages serving as a model.

I took the liberty of checking your stats at [3]...I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the date of your first edit. You have made quite an impact and helped an extraordinary amount in a month and a half. Macte virtute!--Ioshus Rocchio 01:21, 17 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

;-)

Well, it's fun!

I do not think the number of edits tells much – quite a lot of my edits come from inserting Formula:Decennium into the year pages, and that activity cannot be compared to other users adding content in perfect Latin. Still, I enjoy it very much, and as long as • my worklife, • my need for sleep and • the persons around me permit (please do not deduce any priority from the order given ;-) ), I'll be happy to be around!

At the same time, you are doing a great job in many respects! Thank you for the efforts you invest!

Vicipaedia:MediaWiki

My idea: We should have a page "Vicipaedia:XXX" for each term we need to work with Vicipaedia. See Vicipaedia:Index. If the term is good for the main namespace as well ... fine! However, we mostly should avoid redirects from "Vicipaedia:XXX" to "XXX", since there might be hints, tips, tricks we would like to mention but which are not appropriate for the main namespace. Redirects from "XXX" to "Vicipaedia:XXX" should exist in most cases. I have not done this yet, but I have it in mind. What do you think? --Roland2 13:42, 17 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

I agree we should avoid redirects from the Vicipaedia namespace to the article namespace. (I am not sure about redirects from the main namespace to the Vicipaedia namespace either.)

Perhaps we might end up with an encyclopedic article MediaWiki (just as we might have encyclopedic articles about other wiki software products) and a page Vicipaedia:MediaWiki with practical aspects, how-tos etc.? --UV 13:49, 17 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Support. One article for each aspect and these two articles should be linked together. --Roland2 14:14, 17 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

CommonsTicker: new version to fix some problems

Hi - you may have noticed some problems with CommonsTicker lately - namely, some entries about deletions went missing, and some entries arrived several days late (messing up the date headings for ticker pages using append mode). This is caused by the massive replication lag we currently see on the toolserver (it's more than a day behind). While I hope this will not happen again in the future, I have been working on improving CommonsTicker so it handles out-of-sync entries gracefully.

I plan to activate a new version of CommonsTicker tonight or tomorrow - so look out for any new problems. Here are the most relevant changes:

• fix handling of out-of-sync records (see above); added "latecomer" parameter to TickerEntry template (may be ignored)
• deleted images can be restored now. To reflect this, I have added a "restored" action to CommonsTicker. To use it, you need to change your templates and/or CSS like this.
• for pages in append-mode, there an empty "status" parameter is now handed to the TickerEntry template - this parameter can be set manually to trigger some type of marking or highliting, depending on how you set up your template and CSS. See here for an example that strikes out the entry if status is set to "done".

For the future, I'm planning to let CommonsTicker post warnings to the talk page of articles that use an image das is (about to be) deleted. I'll post another announcement when that feature is ready.

This message was posted automatically by the CommonsTicker bot. For feedback and discussion, please go to meta:User talk:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker -- CommonsTicker 14:52, 20 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

licentia

I have determined you are more correct...licentia seems to mean more like "libertas" than permission. I would use "permissio" or "potestas iuris".--Ioshus Rocchio 01:14, 21 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I think I will use “permissio” then, for the simple reason that it is shorter ;-) Thanks again for doing research on this! --UV 01:18, 21 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

CommonsTicker CSS

I've added the section and it seems to work. Thanks for your efforts! --Roland2 04:54, 21 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

" (pagina imaginis)" in CommonsTicker

Is there a reason that "pagina" and "imaginis" are linked to the same (?) target, using different linking techniques? --Roland2 06:05, 21 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

well … yes: Both parts link to the local image description page (= the image page on the Latin wikipedia, not the image page on commons).

• The first part will usually be blue. It will only be red (and link to the "edit/create local image description page") when
  1. there is no image (neither locally nor on commons) and
  2. there is no local image description page.

What's this good for? When the entry states "image was deleted" but the link is still blue, this means there is still a local description page which should probably be deleted as well.

• The second part always links to the image description page, never to the edit page. This link is useful for "live" checking which pages still use the image (heading "nexus ad imaginem" near the bottom).

Sorry if I did not explain this in very clear terms now. If I confused you now, please tell me to explain it again. --UV 22:47, 21 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

The reasons are good ... maybe we could rename the links to something like "local image" and "local description"? Or "(local: image/description)". However, either I have not understood some things or there are bugs. Example:

• DELE Image:Large_map_of_Hokkaido_within_Japan.png ... and the commons link is ok.
• DELE Image:Hyogo_Awaji_island.png ... the picture is missing on commons (as expected)

I'll try to check this page/image thing again ;-) --Roland2 05:04, 22 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Renaming the links: no problem, it's in Formula:Actum Vicimediae Communium, so it can be changed easily. The problem is how to call the links: both pages link to the local image description page, and I am not sure how to translate “local” either.

Image:Large_map_of_Hokkaido_within_Japan.png: This image was indeed deleted from commons but was restored yesterday (see commons log). As the toolserver currently has major problems, it may well be that some log entries are dropped and that the CommonsTicker entries are incomplete. --UV 21:34, 22 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'll be patient ... ;-) --Roland2 21:51, 22 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Specialis:Allmessages

Many latin pages here that have already been "translated" appear without default text...and many of them are both horribly terrible in grammar, or attempt to say nothing remotely close to what the corresponding page at en says. Can you advise?--Ioshus Rocchio 02:40, 22 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Let me see what I can do here. --UV 21:37, 22 Iunii 2006 (UTC)

Sorry! I tried to draw up a quick solution, but this did not work out as I intended.

Note: The English messages may be outdated just like the latin ones.

CommonsTicker: new version, new features

Hello. A new version of CommonsTicker will be rolled out soon (probably tomorrow). Please have an eye on what the bot is doing, and report any problems to m:User_talk:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker. Some of the changes are:

• the ticker can now post warnings to the talk page of articles that are using "endangered" images. This is not enabled per default, and you can select for which namespaces it is done. If you want this feature, please request it at m:User:Duesentrieb/CommonsTicker#Change_Requests.
• in append mode, there are now three empty template parameters: status, editor, and notic. The ticker does not use them itself, but you can use them in the TickerEntry template, for example to strike through entries that have been fixed. en:wikinews has already been using this for a while now.
• if the ticker fails to post an update, a warning is posted to your and the ticker's talk page. In append mode, the ticker will also re-try to post the update on the next pass. Until now, failed updates where simply ignored.
• edit summaries become a bit more informative.

I hope these changes will help to make CommonsTicker more used and more useful.

On a related note: you may have noticed that on long pages, entries near the bottom of the page are sometimes not expanded but rendered just as {{TickerEntry}} or similar. This is due to a new limit to template expansion - see bugzilla:7005. To avoid it, try to keep the page short and/or try to simplify the TickerEntry template.

Glossarium

Die Begriffe habe ich alle aus dem Gedächtnis. Einige wie "pastor" oder "parochia" müßten vielleicht überprüft werden, inwieweit sie "amtlich" sind. Das Glossar sollte auch nur ein Anfang sein. (Auf die Idee kam ich über meine Seiten zu den Diözesen. Eigentlich müßten sämtliche Begriffe lateinisch vorliegen, aber wo? Daher habe ich mit dem Glossar mal eine Sammlung angefangen.)

Bei der Gelegenheit: Ist es irgendwie festgelegt, ob man auf "Nuntiis" auf der eigenen Seite oder auf der des Anfragers antwortet?

Viele Grüße, Alex1011 07:04, 21 Augusti 2006 (UTC)

Well I uploaded the one you said would be okay. It's there now if you wish to delete that image, as for the other if you feel it is dangerous to the latin wikipedia please delete it, but I won't upload it at common because even if there is a chance I don't want to get in trouble again.

Hello UV, you've been nominated for adminship. Please see your nomination on page Vicipaedia:Petitio magistratus. Thanks! --Roland (disp.) 20:21, 30 Augusti 2006 (UTC)

steps and letters

First Let me extend my wish again that you join us with more responsibility/power than before. Take a look at the petitio. Secondly, as the most computer unsavvy person here, dow do I tell whether this site is remote loading or not, because if they are, wikimedia says they will take care of the block. The reason I ask is because it was said that one word was different in the copy, and the english policy page suggests that remote loaders generally change the text in a slight manner.--Ioshus Rocchio 02:15, 31 Augusti 2006 (UTC)

It is not doing "remote loading". If it were, it would always show the current content from the vicipaedia article. (Everytime someone views their page, it would fetch the content from the vicipaedia article and present it to the user.) However, the content it shows corresponds to the article some time before the August 29 revisions (I am sorry I did not have the time now to check to which revision exactly, if any, it corresponds), so it is definitely not doing "remote loading".

You think about things that most of us,including fellow sysops don't. Macte!--Ioshus ^(disp) 20:24, 12 Septembris 2006 (UTC)

I started to fix the cfa links in order to avoid that someone recreates a redirect (or even en article) after following the red link. Some of the links are still to be fixed (I did not have enough time yesterday, maybe I will manage later today). done --UV 22:14, 13 Septembris 2006 (UTC)

Salve et tibi gratias ago...I really just want to copy the one used in English Wikipedia in articles like Cornell University.

If we manage to gather correct Latin translations for the following terms, I can copy the template. These are the terms we need that may appear on en:Template:Infobox University:

I've added what I *think* these should be translated as, but feel free to get other input! Some of them are quite loose translations (e.g. nomen facetum = facetious name). Vale! Bellemichelle 17:00, 23 Septembris 2006 (UTC)

Cognomen althleticum! That makes a lot more sense! Bellemichelle 17:28, 23 Septembris 2006 (UTC)

See Formula:Universitas and Universitas Cornelliana. Greetings, --UV 21:35, 24 Septembris 2006 (UTC)

I think a lot of those translations could be improved. In fact Terentius Tunberg is always bringing up university terminology as his standard example of somethign for which there is a large body of Medieval vocabulary, and thus no need for neologisms. When I get home, maybe I can look some of this up in David Morgan's lexicon (I have a more recent draft than the online one). If I can't find anything in there, I'll contact Dr. Tunberg directly, and see if he has time to help. --Iustinus 02:14, 25 Septembris 2006 (UTC)

Fontes desiderandi

Ave UV

Pour ce qui est des noms des grandes villes, je me réfère à "Orbis latine" de l'Allemand Grasse (je ne suis pas sûr du titre exact et de l'orthographe correct du nom de l'auteur, mais je ne suis pas le seul à l'utiliser, c'est comme ça que je l'ai découvert).

Pour les noms de petits villages, notamment "Froissy", où j'habite, c'est un peu plus compliqué : ce nom, je l'ai trouvé sur le site du Quid (c'était le nom de Froissy dans les années 1200, il me semble). Et c'est à force de chercher sur différents sites que je finis par mettre la main sur un nom latin ou latinisé du village. Ainsi, je pense que je vais bientôt créer "Bretolium" pour Breteuil (60) et "Vindolium" dès que j'aurai trouvé un équivalent pour Caply pour la commune de Vendeuil-Caply (60). Le problème, c'est que, n'étant pas très rigoureux dans mes recherches, j'écris ce nom sur un bout de papier et j'oublie immédiatement d'où il vient...

Quant à l'appellation de "pagus" pour canton, cela me semblait plus que nécessaire de changer le terme de "canton" qui n'avait rien de latin. J'ai alors effectué des recherches : c'est le terme employé pour les cantons suisses, de plus, c'est la traduction que j'ai trouvé à "canton" dans le dictionnaire Hatier Français latin de 1957 (par E. Decahors, docteur ès lettres). J'ai été relativement peiné de ne pas y retrouvé l'étymologie de "canton" (du provençal "canto" : coin, angle), mais je pense que c'est une traducton convenable.

Quant aux noms latinisés qui se calquent sur le français (je parle notamment de Parisius pour Paris, et non pas Lutetia), je me suis expliqué notamment sur la page "Francia".

Si tu veux plus de renseignements, recontacte moi.

Vale

English translation by UV for the convenience of other wikipedians:

Concerning the names of large cities, my reference is {{Graesse}}.

For the names of small villages like Froissy/Frissiacum, where I live, it is a bit more complicated: I found this name on the site of Quid (which was, as it seems to me, the name of Froissy in the 13th century). I do much searching in different places until I finally get to a Latin or Latinized name of a village. That way, I think I will soon create "Bretolium" for fr:Breteuil (Oise) and "Vindolium" as soon as I shall have found a title for Caply in the municipality of fr:Vendeuil-Caply. The problem is, being not too rigorous in my research, I write the name on a piece of paper and forget immediately where it comes from …

Regarding the name "pagus" for canton, it seemed to me more than necessary to change the term "canton" which had nothing to do with Latin. So I did some research: "pagus" is the term employed for the Swiss cantons, and moreover it's the translation given for "canton" in the Hatier French-Latin dictionary of 1957 (by E. Decahors). I wondered that I did not find the etymology of "canton" there (from provencal "canto": corner, angle) but I think that it is an appropriate translation.

Regarding the Latinized names taken from French (in particular Parisius and not Lutetia for Paris), I have explained my reasons on the page "Francia".

If you would like more information, do contact me again.

Merci pour tes explications! Pour des articles que tu créeras ou modifieras, peut-être tu pourrais indiquer la source où tu as trouvé le nom latin ou latinisé (si possible, non seulement "un bout de papier à moi" ;-) )? Ca serait génial! Merci de contribuer à la vicipaedia! --UV 22:11, 1 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the detailed explanation you gave. If you manage to indicate your source for articles you might create or change in the future (and, if possible, not just "I found that I had scribbled it on some piece of paper" ;-) ) that would be great! Thanks for contributing to vicipaedia! --UV 22:11, 1 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Ave tibi, UV! I think I'm non good enough in languages as you, so please take a look on books when you got time, bye! The Doc

Salve! Others know Latin much better than me, like Usor:Ioshus Rocchio, Usor:Iustinus or Usor:Mycēs, to name but a few. But I will take a look at vicilibri from time to time, and I think of moving some pages there that are more appropriate in vicilibri than in vicipaedia. Vale! --UV 23:00, 11 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

could you give me an example of what is not working? "Historia imaginis" should link to the heading further down on the same page. E. g. on Imago:Summa paginarum 2006-07-13.gif, if I click on the "Historia imaginis" link, I jump to the appropriate heading. --UV 23:35, 17 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

I blocked two accounts (for 1 week ... it should be infinite, I think). Is there a method to revert these edits in another way than doing it by hand? --Roland (disp.)

Or even a way to delete the ratio?--Ioshus ^(disp) 19:43, 17 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

It (sic!) should be blocked for some hundred years ... please do it ;-) --Roland (disp.) 20:27, 17 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

It's too bad we can't make special blocks, like: "Fatfucker has been blocked until he is a man, and no longer a little boy (which, in our estimation, might take the better part of a millenium)." Seriously, though, it would be nice if the wiki software allowed you to highlight several entries and perform the same operation on all of them. It took an unfortunately long time to undo all of Fatfucker's nonsense today.--Ioshus ^(disp) 20:31, 17 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

What about 99 years? --Roland (disp.) 21:27, 17 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

I fear that there is no good way to undo a lot of edits at once … --UV 23:31, 17 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Urbium

... sounds better :-) but what is the difference beetween

• http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?urbarum and
• http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?urbium ?

The genus? Hm ... --Roland (disp.) 20:04, 25 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Sorry – I do not know. Maybe I was too quick in correcting, but I had never seen the form urbarum. (I do not quite understand the abbreviations in the output of the "words" dictionary.) I tried to find urbarum in Stowasser but I did not find it there. Maybe someone else reads this and knows? --UV 20:11, 25 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

I am sure that you are right, but I had been unsure and had looked up the word in the "Words" before I used it ;-) I think "urbar.um N 3 4 GEN P N" means a "Noun" in "Genetive Plural" and "Neutrum" (?) which is in contradiction to "urbs, urbis N F [XXXAX]" (F = feminine) --Roland (disp.) 20:17, 25 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

For the record, never have I encountered urbarum...--Ioshus ^(disp) 22:49, 25 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

The help of the "Words" says: These will generate tens of thousands of additional words - some of which are recognized Latin words, ... and some are nonsense. "urbium" is split up into "urb" and "ium". "urbarum" is split up into "urbar" and "um" where "ar" is listed as a suffix. Maybe "urbarum" is just an example for a constructed word which is nonsense? --Roland (disp.) 23:14, 25 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Check this out: it's listed as a wrong answer in a question about the genitive plural of urbs. Although, if you google it, there are a few listings. I'll ask.--Ioshus ^(disp) 23:47, 25 Octobris 2006 (UTC)

Four of them are for a plant called Geum urbarum, but that's an obvious typo for Geum urbanum, which gets 159,000 hits. The next one that Google turns up is from a disputatio right here in Vicipaedia, this bit of illiteracy: "Nomines urbarum Americae sunt conversi" (the first word has the wrong form & presumed gender, the second word is this urbarum, and the last word fails to agree with the wanted nomina); given that context, I shouldn't be surprised if urbarum is Just Plain Wrong.
