New Ireland Wikimedia email list

Hi Evertype:

I'm pleased to announce that we've started a new Ireland Wikimedian email list, that you can join, at mail:WikimediaIE. For Wikimedians in Ireland and Wikimedians interested in events in Ireland and efforts in Ireland. It's there to to discuss meetups, partnerships with Museums and National Archives, and anything else where Wikipedia and real life intersect :) --Bastique ^demandez

Merry Newtonmas

BabelStone (talk) wishes you a Merry Newtonmas, recognising that, unlike other historical figures, Newton was born on 25 December! May this be a time of peace, joy and gravity.

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:Wikipedia:CONTRIB/Holidays/Christmas3}} to your friends' talk pages.

Your feedback is requested

WikiProject Writing Systems is conducting a poll regarding its future goals, and we have identified you as a person with a vested interest in the future of that project. Whether you are a member of the WikiProject, a frequent contributor, or a passerby with an interest in the subject, we want your input as to the future emphasis that the Writing Systems project will take. Please take a moment to peruse the entries and add your comments where you have an opinion. You can visit the poll by clicking here, or on the project image, 書, on the right.

Vicipaedia

I blocked you (or at least "Evertype") on Vicipaedia because the edits there seemed to hint at a commercial interest. One was to add a link to an "Evertype" website; the other was to remove a link to a translation of Alice which is among the ones not published by Evertype.

I'd much rather not be blocking you, so I hope you'll comment at la:Disputatio Usoris:Evertype or on my talk page. Your removal of the link may well be right -- I haven't restored it -- but I don't know whether that site is breaching Carruthers' copyright, or whether it has permission to do what it's doing. Andrew Dalby 12:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

I am actually furious at your summary blocking of my account without prior warning. That is unbelievable bad faith on your part. I have left several comments at la:Disputatio Usoris:Evertype -- Evertype·✆ 12:10, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I've read them and unblocked you. Andrew Dalby 12:20, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

You might like to know that the same link you deleted on Vicipaedia is still present at en:Translations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Hope that helps. Andrew Dalby 12:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Poll on ArbCom resolution - Ireland article names

There is a poll taking place here on whether or not to extend the ArbCombinding resolution, which says there may be no page move discussions for Ireland, Republic of Ireland or Ireland (disambiguation), for a further two years. Fmph (talk) 20:21, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

If you don't mind my asking

I can't help but wonder what you do for a living. Reanimated X (talk) 17:29, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind if you wonder. -- Evertype·✆ 17:32, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Smartass. Let me put it simply, then. What do you for a living? Reanimated X (talk) 17:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Is there a reason you chose to be uncivil? -- Evertype·✆ 17:36, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh, you took me seriously? I didn't mean to offend you, I just found your comeback funny and appropriate so I called you a smartass. There was really no ill intention behind it. Reanimated X (talk) 17:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

I thank very much Unicode staff for your own initiative of already launching GREEK CAPITAL LETTER YOT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.47.147.38 (talk) 15:08, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Bible translations into Cornish on DYK

In case you didn't know, the recently created article Bible translations into Cornish has been approved for DYK. BabelStone (talk) 19:09, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

This is splendid news! I have of course been updating the article. -- Evertype·✆ 10:36, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

It should be on the main page at 1.00 pm tomorrow for 12 hours (you can check at T:DYK/Q). BabelStone (talk) 19:13, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Yep, it's in the queue for it now, going live at 12:00 UTC (1pm BST). Cheers, Zangar (talk) 10:40, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Your latest post on IECOLL

I cannot believe you did this ! Having already said that I would never engage with you again I did a complete U-turn, gave a straight answer to a question you asked and in the process gave my explicit support to one of the two options you proposed, with (what I consider) the compelling reasons for it. And your response is wilful misinterpretation, insult and provocation. I am very angry, not because I am thin-skinned enough to be hurt by your insults, but because I really want to get this page move done and end the strife, and you appear to be hell-bent on destroying any efforts to do so. If you really believe in what you are doing, I advise you to replace the whole of that post with a "thank you" and a polite invitation to other editors to consider what I've said and take similar risks. If you don't do that, I can guarantee that no other editor will bother to stick his head above the parapet - not now and not ever. Scolaire (talk) 09:49, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Evidently we are not good at understanding one another, but I'd like you to try to accept that I am not and have not been attempting to offend you. -- Evertype·✆ 14:42, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I cannot accept that. If you do not want to offend me, you need only acknowledge what I said to you on your talk page, that I explicitly support one of the two options that you proposed. Instead, you throw down the gauntlet (unnecessarily) once again. I cannot please you except by allowing you to publicly humiliate me. You are not interested in dialogue, collaboration or conflict resolution, only in trampling those people who you see as your enemies. It is not you who are the loser - you get to continue in the starring role as the Che Guevara of IECOLL. The real losers are the people who have fought for change year after year, only for you and your big ego to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory every time.

If you want that in a nutshell: for once in your life, be a man; admit that you were over the top, and try to talk about respecting both sides in a way that sounds sincere. Scolaire (talk) 15:00, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

I was unaware that you explicitly supported one of the two options on IECOLL, and I am glad now that you have stated so on IECOLL. I do not understand this business about "humiliation" but I am sorry you feel that I had such a motive. I did not. I am also sorry that you think I perceive myself to have enemies in this matter; I do not recognize such a motivation in myself at all, even though you may suggest otherwise. It remains the case that I am not and have not been attempting to offend you. It also remains that case that "year after year" is not good enough, and IECOLL needs to actually do something about this perennial problem. I respect that both sides have sincere views on the use or non-use of Republic of Ireland, so much so that I recognize that there will never be agreement on it, and that for the good of WikiProject Ireland another term must be adopted. I hope we can get on with it. -- Evertype·✆ 17:05, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Sswonk and Thryduulf - now at WP:AN/I

As you have commented on the interaction today between user:Sswonk and myself, you have been mentioned in the discussion about it. Originally at WP:WQA#Personal attack by Sswonk, following advice there, I have copied the discussion to WP:AN/I#Personal attack by Sswonk. I do not know whether discussion will also continue at WP:WQA or not. I have not made any accusations against you (while I disagree with your view, your response was civil) so there may not be discussion about you but it is possible there will be (and it's good practice to inform everyone mentioned).

Carrier

Hi,

FYI, it looks like Unicode got the ch and ts series reversed for Carrier syllabics. — kwami (talk) 18:43, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Clarification

Howdy Evertype. Are ya'll counting the 'C' votes? concerning your poll about the Ireland naming. GoodDay (talk) 23:57, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

No, I am not. I am noting them, but "C" is the problem. not a solution.-- Evertype·✆ 00:08, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

See further questions at Poll 'comment'. GoodDay (talk) 00:11, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

To avoid any heat on ya, I'll ask here. If A or B is adopted when the poll is closed - what's next? GoodDay (talk) 00:35, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Then we examine how to implement a move in a civil and constructive fashion. If we are lucky IECOLL will choose to do it on its own. If we are unlucky, we may have to ask for a community-wide poll. It depends on how brave IECOLL members are, and how selfless they can find themselves to be. (I know, lots of people have deeply held "beliefs" about the article title... but since those beliefs are diametrically opposed, we just can't stick with the status quo. -- Evertype·✆ 00:42, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

IMHO, we must allow a community-wide poll. Any other way, would be un-acceptable & counter-productive. GoodDay (talk) 00:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, anything other than a community-wide RfC is highly likely to be unacceptable and I while I am open to consider the move of the article on the state to Ireland (State), I would oppose, any attempt to do it by IECOLL on their own. IECOLL's role here should be to formulate the procedure and proposal, then ask ArbCom to sign off on it and then go to a community-wide RfC. Mtking ^(edits) 22:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm good with that. -- Evertype·✆ 23:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Question on IECOLL

You may have missed the question I asked you on IECOLL yesterday so I will ask you it here. Do you realise that after a wiki-wide discussion, the outcome could well be that the consensus is to keep the article name as is for another 2 years ? and are you willing to accept this outcome ? Mtking ^(edits) 22:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

An eventual "Shall we move X to Y?" poll will have one of two outcomes. I understand this. -- Evertype·✆ 22:57, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Don't know what question that was an answer to but it was not the one I asked :-)

Let me put it another way :

If a RfC is held the result of which is to keep the name as ROI will you be willing to accept it as the will of the community ? Mtking ^(edits) 01:56, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

I have answered your question and badgering me about it is not polite. -- Evertype·✆ 10:39, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

'Request for clarification'

Sorry, Evertype, until I saw this I wasn't aware you had asked me a question. The answer is, somebody had said just above my post that we couldn't get any measure of agreement in the next 90 days. My reply was to him and it was to the effect that we could have it done and dusted well within 90 days. It wasn't meant to relate in any way to the January date referred to earlier. Scolaire (talk) 08:24, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

I see; I thought it was two threads intersecting and it makes sense that it was. -- Evertype·✆ 11:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Yucatec Maya

Hi,I think that wikipedias should be approval from incubator into wikipedias because majority of people support to open the Yucatec Maya Wikipedias.--Aplikasi (talk) 10:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

The requirements for a Wikipedia in Yucatec Maya include the localisation of the most used messages. By the looks of it, the localisation has not started yet. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 13:21, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Image orientation

It seems that commons:File:Mandombe Sample.jpg has the wrong orientation. I'm not sure where to ask, but I guess that this is the place where it is easiest to get an accurate answer. Could you go to that page, check whether the image needs to be rotated and add {{rotate|90}} or {{rotate|270}} as applicable for clockwise rotation by 90 or 270 degrees? --Stefan2 (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Have you noticed

[1]? Dougweller (talk) 08:54, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. -- Evertype·✆ 12:29, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
