Help with Asturian translation

Hi User:Born2bgratis I've recently made this change and I'd appreciate it if you could check that the Asturian phrase is correct, thanks. My Gussie (talk) 15:31, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

@My Gussie: You got it almost right! Thank you for helping out with the translation! —Born2bgratis 15:46, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, User:Born2bgratis I copied the Galician. Is it possible that's also feminine? My Gussie (talk) 17:23, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

@My Gussie: The Galician one is correct (the Galician feminine plural form would be estas, as in Spanish). A bit confusing, isn’t it? =) —Born2bgratis 14:13, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aymara language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Umlaut. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Born2bgratis. I've reverted your changes from a template to unicode. If there is a template available it is generally preferable to use it. In the present instance the UC is rendering as a box whereas {{long dash}} renders as a long dash which indicates the author field is repeated in subsequent citation. Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:15, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

@Martin of Sheffield: I made a test using Browsershots and all modern browsers were able to display the proper Unicode encoding correctly. Every supported Windows version (as well as of macOS and Linux) is also capable of displaying it. The template you mentioned renders with ugly artifacts in most instances (unless you manually disable font smoothing) due to its misuse of the letter-spacing CSS property. ―Born2bgratis (talk) 10:21, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

FYI I'm viewing using Firefox ESR 52.1.0 under CentOS 6.9. I think that ought to count as a modern browser! The template renders nicely with no artifacts, ugly or otherwise. Maybe you need to raise this on the template talk page, either {{long dash}} or {{cite book}}. Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:34, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

I make no pretence that the template is perfect – please fix it if you can. But replacing the long dash with a silly little rectangle is not helpful; please revert the edits where you have done that. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:21, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Chicago X cleanup/reorganize template from 2012

Hello Born2bgratis. It looks like you are the editor who attached the cleanup/reorganize tag in 2012 to the Chicago X album wikipedia page. In your opinion, can this tag be removed? If not, where do you think improvements need to be made?Curious405 (talk) 18:13, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

@Curious405: Thanks for the heads-up! Yep, I’ve removed the tag now; the page does look great now. Thanks! ―Born2bgratis (talk) 18:35, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Literata was designed to complement Roboto

EDIT: The original design brief on GitHub (here) is also really interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inferno986return (talk • contribs) 03:17, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

According to the design brief provided on GitHub (here), ensuring Literata and Roboto compliment each other was a design goal (which makes sense as Roboto is the only sans-serif typeface used in the Google Play Books e-reader).

I linked the PDF as a source in the article. Personally I think it's very a interesting document and has potential to add real information to the article. Let me know what you think, as I do have a fondness for libre typography.

Inferno986return (talk) 01:15, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

@Inferno986return: I don’t see how a Scotch serif face can relate in any way to a Grotesque sans-serif. Literata and Roboto do not really form a visually harmonious pair (compare, e.g., Fedra Serif and Sans). Even the metrics and proportions are totally different (Roboto is tighter and more condensed), so they can’t be typeset together without needing adjustments. Personally, I think that statement was only marketing fluff. —Born2bgratis (talk) 01:29, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of pangrams....um....whatnow?

I made a thorough, coherent case for deletion five-and-a-half years ago. A discussion was had, a consensus was reached, and the article was deleted. It's not clear to me what you hoped to accomplish by pinging me here. I'm certainly not interested in recreating the article, for all the reasons I laid out at the time.

Warning

If you revert me again at El Comité 1973, you risk being blocked. I don't know what editor(s) you think are socks, but it's irrelevant to the WP:A7 tag.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:35, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

@Bbb23: And this is what drives people away. I’m a multilingual user and I’ve detected pretty blatant cross-wiki activity to promote this encyclopedically irrelevant person’s bio and project (which has no third-party news coverage whatsoever; all “references” are self-published) in multiple sites with several sock-puppet accounts that you could very easily see on the relevant Wikidata items’ histories, for instance. Do you want me to teach you how to use a search tool too? I find your blocking threat pretty petty and will ignore it; I’ve been here for more than a decade and interacting with people like you is always the part that drains my energy out. I now prefer to take care of my mental health; I will not be bullied like that anymore; it’s been years of people thinking I have malice towards this project. Born2bgratis (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

WARNING! VANDALISM! The users Born2bgratis and Fmarioivan (probably the same person) are trying to destroy everything related with the group El Comité. To erase neutral articles, images and links the way they do is vandalism.

WARNING. The users Born2bgratis and Fmarioivan (probably the same person / A Sock puppet account) are trying to destroy everything related with the group El Comité. To erase neutral articles, images and links the way they do is vandalism. The germans (and others) have already tagged this user actions as vandalism https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer_Diskussion:Born2bgratis (look here) --AYSO60 (talk) 19:59, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

El Comité 1973

El Comité 1973

This user Born2bgratis has made a lot of vandalism. An admin of the german wikipedia has declared the actions of this user as vandalism, look here. This guy Utilizaire:Born2bgratis and this: User:Fmarioivan, most likely a sock puppet account, (or two people coordinated to destroy the same neutral items), they have the same announcement. Born2bgratis says in his user page: "English: Welcome! I’m a user from Mexico. I’m attracted to free software communities because of their spirit of collaboration, and that very same thing lured me to Wikimedia, so here I am Face-smile.svg. I collaborate mainly in the Romance-language editions of Wikipedia and Wiktionary, but I also edit here and there sometimes." And Fmarioivan also says: "English: Welcome! I’m a user from Mexico. I’m attracted to free software communities because of their spirit of collaboration, and that very same thing lured me to Wikimedia, so here I am. I collaborate mainly in the Romance-language editions of Wikipedia and Wikidata, but I also edit here and there sometimes. (Feel free to translate this text to your language. Thanks.)"

You can compare their user pages Utilizaire:Born2bgratis and User:Fmarioivan. Compare their user pages and actions and you are going to see vandalism.

The admin Emu at wikidata has already told this guy Fmarioivan / Born2bgratis, that "Deleting valid sitelinks without a very good reason can’t be tolerated and may result in blocks. Look at here.

You can see the actions of these users at 20 july, attacking the item El Comité erasing neutral links, the links to wikipedia, as if the articles were already deleted, but they weren´t, look here. He uses speedy deletion, even when it is not the case for that, and has already deleted a lot of neutral items, photograps, wikipedia articles... Thanks for your attention. --AYSO60 (talk) 19:48, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
