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 Wikimedia Commons.

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!

Commons:Deletion requests/File:XOL - Vestigios EP.jpg

Hello. Thank you for nominating this file for deletion. However, for apparent copyright violations, please use {{Speedydelete|1=F2}}. Cheers. -Green Giant (talk) 18:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Template:Flow, thank you for tip, and yes, noted. FYI, I encountered that deletion information on Village Pump, if not here on translatewiki. As a translator who has worked on 20% or so of those strings, quite keen to know if you would share the news with translation group, on-Commons and off-Commons. What would you point me to, the most handy method and double check if the translation target exists/Speedydeleted per copyvio? Cheers, --Omotecho (talk) 19:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Curious

Hi, Omotecho, would it be hard work to translate the text of the image into English? I 'am curious in what it says. Thank you for your time. :-) Lotje (talk) 05:42, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

• Lotje Hi there, those scribleon ukiyo-e is written in archaic Japanese, a bit similar to Latin to European languages. I am happy you pointed me to it, and I sense the text talks about sophistication... Surely there might be transcription avail on the web, while my confession is I have been wishing to study them and decipher... (-m-;)A Just give me a few days, would you? Cheers, --Omotecho (talk) 06:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

​ Oh, thank you every so much, take your time. I am glad to see you are also curious btw, a few seconds ago, I made an interlanguage link on the Hand fan article and a wikilink to Suzume Odori, but I do not really see the connection there. Would you have an idea as to an image really depicting what is meant with the suzume orodi? Thnks! Have a nice day. :-) Lotje (talk) 06:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

• Hey, @Lotje: , for Suzume dance and hand fan, belated response; I have updated enwiki with two pics. Does it make sense to you? --Omotecho (talk) 07:36, 29 August 2020 (UTC) indented / Omotecho 07:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

​ Thank you for the update . Maybe a Category:Japanese traditional dance should be created here? Lotje (talk) 12:38, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

• ​ Great idea! As Japanese traditional dance links to Kabuki actors/plays, as each Kabuki play is highlighted with dance scenes. Schools of Japanese traditional dances such as female masters of Fujima and others. I guess we will have a huge “herbarium” in a matter of time. Kabuki - Ukita-e woodcut prints - shamisen three stringed guitar players. ;)
• BTW, I have been discussing with a very eager newbie editor on jawiki who wishes to have Kamigata-e article on enwiki expanded with their jawiki article. I am a bit worn out by July with “definitions” or citation favs/unfavorites on jawiki, but still hoping to contrast with images how the taste/trends among Edo and Kamigata-Osaka/Kyoto are unique east vs west maybe here; so far, I discovered 19th century Ukiyo-e artists need to have their works sorted out from GLAM donated batches. Well, have done much reading homework, and it is fresh to learn that the patrons to Osaka-Kyoto Kabuki actors/theaters had such big purses to buy off the first day premier each season, that even print makers were very sensitive to who was the most popular actor. Homecoming kabuki actors would gain much fame after performing a few years in Edo, or off-off Broadway to speak, very peculiar but reasonable way to the top... --Omotecho (talk) 14:17, 29 August 2020 (UTC) indent / 14:04, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

This is why we are organizing an online workshop on Monday 12th of December, 16h-17h30 UTC+1 (on zoom). We will be very happy if you find the time to join us.

Help with translation

Hello @Omotecho. Could you be so kind to help revise the following translation regarding the sound logo contest? We had to update that sentence, that you had previously translated. Thank you,

Translation assistance

Hello @Omotecho, I noticed you attempted translating the Wiki Loves Africa main page. I am writing you to provide a guide to the correct translation process: the page was created using a collection of templates. To make a succesful translation, you have to translate the individual templates here first.

Let me know if you need any help with this. Thank you! Wilson (talk) 00:31, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

@OtuNwachinemere, yes, the point we share here is what Meta still lacks as guidance.

Would you care raising your guiding texts somewhere please? Since I have learnt the “tricks” the hard way, with bumps and blisters, and that is unnecessary for the future translators/editors.

I meant to thank you reaching out. I guess it’s the compliment you meant to note, see, I have worked on those templates a couple of weeks ago, and on top of that, ppl are beginning to finish the task. Yey! Thank you inviting me to the wider circle of translators 翻訳者. Cheers, Omotecho (talk) 05:22, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
