Hi since today is Palm Sunday I am creating this on it.wiktionary.org
[[Domenica delle Palme]]
Now I had a look at the different wikipedias linked and I found a
difference in Spelling on the Polish wikipedia.
The name of the page is:
Niedziela Palmowa
The use in te text is:
*Niedziela palmowa
So which writing is right - or maybe all are correct?
Or does it have to be writte like this:
**niedziela palmowa
I'll send you a second - and maybe third mail later on as there will be
some more questions.
Ciao, Sabine

You know, the more I hear about this idea, the more I enjoy it. Personally,
I don't really see the point of the categories system - you get everything
mixed together with no context that way, and I don't see any way it can be
made to work so that you can do a search for multiple keywords, like
"Jewish", "Authors", "Died 1945", "Females". Heck, I imagine that if you
tried to put a category of any of those together, some well-meaning person
would probably delete them anyway, claiming they weren't specific enough.
The only thing is that it should be kept as simple as possible, some of the
proposals I see are too complicated for "ordinary" users to understand. We
shouldn't require that a user be familiar with complex metadata tagging
schemes just to write articles - even if those schemes are the widely
adopted standards on the Internet at large.

This really is great news. Wikipedia 1.0 is starting to look less and less like
vaporware. :)

I have finished updating (well: rewriting) the article validation
feature for the current development software version (1.5), to a point
where all essential functions work. I'll do some prettyfication (is that
a word?) later, or wait for someone else to do it ;-)
Is there a 1.5 test site to demonstrate it? I know 1.5 is still
considered insecure, but we'll need a test site at some point for actual
living users to beat the bits out of it...
Tech howto follows:
Run "patch-validate.sql" to update the table schema. Set
"$wgUseValidation=true" in LocalSettings. Enjoy.
Caveats:
* Currently PHPTal only
* The old (1.4) code is still in SpecialValidate.php, but commented out
* Currently every logged-in user can both validate and set topics for
validation. At least the latter has to be severly restricted in a live
version, as deletion of a topic will delete all data associated with the
topic as well.

At about the same time, the Georgian Wikipedia grew from around 17
articles to well over 100, and the Armenian Wikipedia grew from about
3 articles to well over 100. The Breton Wikipedia grew from 57 or so
articles to well over 100.
Other Wikipedias had a similar sudden growth just a little bit prior,
such as the Aragonese and Limburgish Wikipedias.
All of this growth occurred in the space of 1-3 weeks, and sometimes even
less.

THanks for pointing that out Node. That is great news!

Hiho,
Since we quite often receive more or less important requests for
wikipedia presentations, I am compiling a speakers' list on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Presentations
I already added some people where I have reason to believe that they
will do this
Please
a) add yourself if you are willing and feel qualified to hold talks
about Wikipedia with
* your area of expertise (general, technical, scientific studies etc.)
* the languages in which you can speak
* your area
and
b) provide me with a contact address so that I can mail such requests around
It would be especially nice to have some of the developers there.
greetings,
elian
Liz Lawley of Corante writes about how she chose not to go to e-Tech
this week, but to go to sxsw instead; and the relationship b/t those
decisions and how diverse the speakers and attendees at each
conference are. The piece is worth reading; she says interesting
things such as "If you build a place that women love, the men will
follow. The reverse is not true," and "There were more conversations
than there were pontifications."
http://www.corante.com/many/archives/2005/03/16/why_sxsw.php
Applying similar thoughts to the Wikipedia community, similar comfort
zones for certain demographics of users have perhaps as much to do
with diversity of philosophy as with diversity of gender and race.
But the point about conversations v. pontifications hits home.
I'd like to know what other people think about this; how we might
conceive of gatherings and big events like meetups or wikimania in
ways that draw out people who will make them warmer, and more varied
and interesting.

Please forward widely.
TAMPA, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2005
The Wikimedia Foundation announced today the creation of the 500,000th
article in the English-language Wikipedia, its project to create a
free, multilingual, online encyclopedia. The article was about
"Involuntary settlements in the Soviet Union"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involuntary_settlements_in_the_Soviet_Union).
Wikipedia is a comprehensive online reference that has won acclaim and
awards for its detailed coverage of current events and popular
culture, its usability, and its community of contributors. It
receives millions of visits each day.
Other recent additions to its English-language edition include
hundreds of full-length songs, almost a gigabyte of new images, and
subject-specific portals.
Daniel Pink, author and WIRED Magazine columnist, recently described
Wikipedia as "the self-organizing, self-repairing, hyperaddictive
library of the future." BBC News calls it "One of the most reliably
useful sources of information around, on or off-line," and Tim
Berners-Lee, father of the Web, has called it "The Font of All
Knowledge."
Wikipedia is the first and best-known project of the Wikimedia
Foundation. It has spawned sister projects, including a dictionary, a
library of textbooks, a compendium of quotations, and a news site.
These projects are all run on the open source MediaWiki platform
(http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/).
Wikipedia is available free of charge and free of advertising from its
website, http://en.wikipedia.org. Interested contributors can visit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction to learn how to
add to the encyclopedia. DVD versions of the encyclopedia are
scheduled to be released in English, German, and French, later this
year (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Distribution).
==About Wikipedia==
"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given
free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're
doing." --Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder
Started in January 2001, Wikipedia is currently the world's
fastest-growing, most current, and largest encyclopedia, with 1.5
million articles under active development in over 120 languages. It
is created entirely by volunteers who contribute, update, and revise
articles in a collaborative process. The English-language edition
contains 10 million internal links, and incorporates 25,000 edits and
1,000 new articles each day.
Wikipedia's content is written for a general audience, and is
continually being revised for clarity, readability, and accuracy.
Original text, images and sounds contributed to Wikipedia are licensed
under the GNU Free Documentation Licence (GFDL; see

==About Wikimedia==
The Wikimedia Foundation (http://www.wikimediafoundation.org) is a
non-profit corporation
based in Florida, USA. It was founded in 2003 to maintain and develop
free-content projects like Wikipedia, and to provide the full contents
of those projects to the public free of charge.
The Foundation recently concluded a fund drive which raised over
US$90,000 (£55,000 or €80,000), primarily through individual
donations of US$50 or less
(http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising). It has national
chapters in Germany and France.

You are further and further away from my original idea. Putting things into
categories does not solve the problem I wanted to solve. If you add a person
to tha person category, that will not make it easier to find people born in
a certain year. Beside adding a page to an index, you should specify other
"fields". For person: born, died, nationality, For place: country, gps, ...
For event: year, place, ... Tags like below embedded in pages. The parser
would put apropriate data in the "person", "writer", etc. tables (!)
On the page en.wikipedia.org/Anne_Frank for example:
Person = {Name: Anne Frank, Born: 1929, Died: 1944, Sex: female,
Nationality: German....}
Writer = {Name: Anne Frank, Language: German, Duthch}
WWII_Victims = {Died: 1944}
