| Hi Angela, | |||
| == some oreos for you my best admin friend == | |||

I'd hate for it to fall through cos of an accidentally deleted e-mail. (I posted a message on Jimbo's talk page about this, but he's maybe not quite as organised as you are...) | |||

| Hi Angela, | |||
| |} | |||
| Do you know how the older version of POTD used to work?. | |||
| Today, I came across a couple of users who include | |||
| :<nowiki>{{msg:pic_of_the_day_{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}}}</nowiki> | |||
| on their user page. However ] and similar | |||
| are stuck on POTDs from last November, because no one has been updating them | |||
| since the move over the the newer auto-archive version of POTD. However, I noticed | |||
| that you've edited some of these pages before ] took over. | |||
| I was thinking to replace each of the | |||
| with a redirect to ], but I wasn't sure this would | |||
| do the trick and it would lead to some double/tripple redirects. There also seems to be a set of ], | |||
| but I have no idea what they are for (interface messages?). | |||
| An alternative might be to update each user page linking to the older templates and then delete the POTD-Dayname templates. -- ] 18:43, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ::I think redirects would be better than deleting them. I never followed how the new version of them worked so I might not be the best person to ask about this, but as far as I can tell, redirecting them all to ] should work. ]] 10:14, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :::Thanks Angela, I think ] left sometime around last December (which is a shame), but I spotted your reply on his talk page. My guess is he may have been the last one to know how the previous system worked. Nevertheless I'll take on the tidying up and hope I don't break anything that matters. Most people are using the new mechanism, so the only bit that gives me pause for thought is the MediaWiki link. -- ] 11:38, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Fair use and the Spanish version== | |||
| <b>Spanish version against fair use:</b><br> | |||
| On your last message you asked me whether there was a consensus against fair use images and that I could upload them in other versions.<br> | |||
| Yes, it was determined by November 2004 that fair use was no longer available there. Administrators next to several users voted in favor of using free-license images only. But before getting into deep details, let me tell you a little more of my work there and my thoughts:<br> | |||
| I started by mid 2003 and thought I could be an integral part at the Spanish version for one big reason: only 2% of Internet content is in Spanish and my topics of interest are mostly unavailable in my mother tong. So I immediately began to write articles about music, I started with Beck and Björk, and as I saw it was too much to write about I decided that I would devote almost entirely to Icelandic music and thus I would complete an entire area of interest. Of course I have other passions: astronomy and geology, next to some economics issues. | |||
| Several of my works there are huge, and I’m known for having written the largest articles, where 12 of them were selected as outstanding. As the time passed by I managed to published almost 500 articles of varied quality. But things started to get nasty: first I discovered that some images of the biographies had been deleted because I delayed in justifying their existence, then when I wrote about an article titled “Heavily Indebted Poor Countries” I was accused of discriminating poor countries and that it was unfair that I didn’t mentioned the rich countries that are heavily indebted as well. But the title of my article is correct because it was a definition from the Club of Paris, the IMF the World Bank and other creditor institutions. It is an official term used for countries that have a certain amount of income and their debts go beyond a particular percentage threshold. When I tried to give explanations I was ordered to delete my article, but I refused because of the ignorance about those topics and because of the disrespect embodied in a meaningless argument. I was about to drop out, but chose to go on. Later I found this of the fair use and that really annoyed me. I mean, don’t you think all Misplaced Pages’s versions should have the same rules? After all Misplaced Pages’s server is located in the USA and it doesn’t matter where you’re writing from. Everybody could lie and anyway, Internet reaches all the corners of the Earth. For instance, the German version is more restricted, and a German guy told me that some images there are prohibited due to copyright laws, but where is the solution in banning images on the German version if you could get the other versions there? Does the language make a difference? | |||
| I complaint about the decision against fair use on my version explaining that I couldn’t vote because I was out but at least I gave some arguments. I got an answer from a virtual foe I have there: he even questioned my attitude of having images at my user page saying that I should create my own Web site. Just imagine this: What could a person like this say about your user page? That is ridiculous. Anyway, I chose to go on again. But once more, things got even nastier: the same foe (an administrator) started to promote the deletion of some articles devoted to Beck’s singles. He said I was trying to create some sort of a “CD catalogue”, then when I gave my explanations and arguments in favor of the existence of those articles, besides telling him that they hadn’t been finished at that time, he answered back arguing that he agreed that some singles could be important, but he found the others “irrelevant”, a word that ruffled my feathers and reacted with a rather sarcastic sense of humor. Then he told me that those articles were “microstubs”. So, I know he’s editing under a biased position, but I’m the only one who seems to see this. | |||
| I’m currently working here, because I have more freedom and it is nice to count on people who are always extending a hand to help you out. It is beautiful and strange to explain, but my passion for writing articles has been revived here again. I will translate into English my Spanish articles and span my areas of interest in the future. | |||
| I no longer care about the Spanish version: it’s all up to them to make the right decisions. If they are willing to harbor these biased behaviors I don’t think it would be wise to support their attitude with further collaborations. And now everybody there is wondering why the Spanish version has been lagged behind by the English one…. I think you have the answer now. Kind regards, ] 22:29, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br> | |||
| <i>PS: sorry of the big message!!!</i> | |||
| :About your question if there would be someone to mediate in the argument I have with that user, the answer is no. It doesn't matter really. I'm working here, now where laws are more understandable and where users with biased opinions have no room to stay. ] 05:31, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == A new administrator for Georgian Misplaced Pages == | |||
| Dear Angela, | |||
| I’m ], one of the two administrators of Georgian Misplaced Pages. Luckily Georgian Misplaced Pages is working quite well. During last few months several people started working on it and the contributions are praiseworthy. I think we’re starting to need more administrators. I’d like to suggest ] as a new administrator for Georgian wikipedia. He has been contributing to different Wikipedias (especially, in Esperanto) since 2002. He has elaborated more than 2000 articles. Now he’s working very seriously on Georgian Misplaced Pages and, in my opinion, he’s perfectly skilled for the position of an administrator. | |||
| My usual professional activities and circumstances require from me taking “Misplaced Pages breaks”. One of them is waiting for me very soon and I think it would be useful and reasonable if ] is also able to carry out some actions that right now are beyond his responsibility. | |||
| ], the other administrator of Georgian Misplaced Pages, agrees with this suggestion. | |||
| Would it be possible to give ] status of an administrator of Georgian Misplaced Pages? | |||
| Best regards, | |||
| ] (Admin of Georgian Misplaced Pages) 11.04.05. | |||
| :This is done now. ]] | |||
| == Issues about school articles == | |||
| In November 2003, there was a VfD debate over ]. The debate was archived under ]. What to do with the article is still being contested and has been recently re-nominated for VfD at ]. | |||
| I am writing to you because you have participated in such debates before. There still does not exist a wikipedia policy (as far as i can tell) over what to do in regards to articles about specific U.S. public school. My hope is that a real consensus can come out of the debate, and a real policy can take shape. Take part if you are so willing. ] 02:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Dear Angela, | |||
| I am an administrator of the Indonesian and the Javanese wikipedia. Here I would like to comment on the spelling of the ], which is found in the "other languages" (interwiki) box. It is now spelt as ''Bahasa Jawa'' while the correct spelling is '''Basa Jawa'''. Is it possible for you to mend it or maybe to ask someone to correct it? Many thanks in anticipation! | |||

But I can't find any users who actually use this feature to link to their non-English user pages. Is this sort of thing frowned upon? ] doesn't have anything to say on the matter... - ] 06:55, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| At ka:, we currently have this slight "problem". Despite my effort of putting a localized version of LangKa.php at the Developer's Request page, that request has not been attended to date.

So, my question is, could you work into changing the namespace Category: into georgian name ''კატეგორია:''?
