message: To minimise duplication and incorrect bulleting (evident on this project page), I suggest someone convert the proper bullets to subheadings, as I have done on :mi:Wikipedia:Transwiki log. Robin Patterson 21:39, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking of redoing this page to look more like a project page. We need to encourage people to go through this long, and getting longer, list of especially dicdefs and deal with them. The pure dicdefs with no expansion should be merged and redirected or listed on vfd if no redirect exists. As of now it's just piling up without anyone getting arounfd to this. I'm thinking of implementing some sort of asterisk system where we could go through the list and mark the articles that have been dealt with by and asterisk. The page should have instructions at the top to guide users through these steps of dealing with transwikied articles that don't belong here. Any objections? --Dmcdevit 04:49, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It was in order by date, until various sorting schemes were put in place and abandoned, so now it's not except for the recent part at the bottom. Sorting it by any way other than date would be harder then it sounds, because I'm adding new hordes of transwikied articles to this log every day, about, as I do them. I guess right now, what should be done before anything elseis to move all the striken through entries to the Archive to make this page smaller, then go through the log again. And your help is greatly appreciated. --Dmcdevit 20:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

text: *Um, well, maybe it should get sorted by date sooner rather than later, because right now every time I try to edit the wikitionary section (to help with cleanup) I get a "page not found" message or the page loads incompletely (the "editing this page" box appears, but blank, and there's no "header" stuff (top links to my stuff and left-side-of-the-page links to other Wikipedia stuff are blank.)  This also happened on June 3, then I had reallife stuff to do, so haven't been back til now.  Which is why I haven't done any actual cleanup yet - I can't get to the page. (!!) Based on past experience, this is due to server load plus (maybe) my being 56K dialup.  However, when I edit a smaller section (like I just did with the Redirect instructions), no problem.  In other words, once it's seperated into sections, the sections are "easier to get to."  Hope this makes sense.  In fact, if I can actually edit this page today, I think I'm gonna be bold and reorg the wikitionary section by date, to eliminate this problem.  Soundguy99 13:48, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

text: **I just archived a huge bunch of resolved entries to make the page smaller and easier to handle (and it was not easy getting it past the server load, about 20 tries over half an hour). Will do more. --Dmcdevit 19:39, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The Send to AfD section, in my opinion, should be updated to include the choice of using either AfD or the Proposed Deletion system to remove old articles.  I am going to do this now, mentioning the option of using either one, although it seems to me that Prod is probably much better than AfD.  As I'm a relatively new wikipedia editor, I'm not going to suggest Prod instead of AfD, as I don't want to make that major a change in the transwiki page without others telling me I'm right about it first. --Xyzzyplugh 08:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it ok to submit an article for deletion (either way) right after the content has been moved to the Transwiki: pseudo-namespace, or should we wait until the process is complete? Do things ever get "lost" during the process? Ardric47 23:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Send to AfD section needs updating 

message: The instructions on this project page say this:
: After moving an article and its edit history, the article may be submitted for deletion. 
I'd love to comply, but it's unclear how to move an article's edit history. Is it a matter of copying each subsequent version of the source article to subsequent revisions of the destination article, reproducing the edit comments each time? If so, does it matter that doing so drops the source revisions' author's usernames? The Rod (☎ Smith) 20:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am writing this here to ask that users no longer manually transwiki pages from this project to Wikisource.  There is an import space set up between the English Wikisource and this project.  It is much prefered that we use Special:Import to do the work as that actually saves all of the edit histories (not just the copy/paste log that's added to the talk page of the articles).  To request that pages be imported, you can leave a message at the Scriptorium until an actual page is created for such requests.  Thanks!—Zhaladshar (Talk) 22:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: From an AfD:
"Keep/transwiki. It's sad that deletionists have become so impatient that they can't put a transwiki tag on an article and give people a few months to transwiki to the appropriate project. Do people here just not understand the concept of transwiking at all? --- RockMFR 01:02, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So how about it? If you enter "transwiki" you get this article, which is a process log and a how-to, without the context which might be helpful when the "transwiki" term is thrown about. An intro paragraph would be very helpful. If someone does not understand "transwiki" when they come to this page, they may leave just as mystified. Thanks. Edison 20:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Heck.  I'm not new at wikipedia, but I'm mystified by this process.  Why isn't it just an automatic sort of thing done by an administrator?  I was sent here because of a picture I uploaded (:Image:Intracoronary thrombus.png).  I still have no idea how I am supposed to move it and, truthfully, have no inclination in spending time trying to figure out the process.  If not an automatic process, maybe a step-by-step tutorial with an example image?  Ksheka 14:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

There are several articles with long lists of quotations that I would like to move, but I can't work out what the actual procedure is. All I can find is reference to how people at wikiquote are getting annoyed with people from wikipedia doing wrong. Without wishing to be facetious, there may be a reason people are doing it wrong!?

message: #I transwikied over two thousand manga articles to manga.wikia.com yesterday.  I exported them in batches, and only with their most recent edit.  Is there a way to export their entire histories into separate files(since anything too large will be above the import size limit), and import that over at my wiki?  Instead of just doing it one at a time that is.  
#Is there a way to grab all the images in these articles, and export them as well in batches?

message: The venerable User:Dr. Blofeld suggested that I post a notice here. I am an English teacher in Mexico City, teaching an advanced group of Business English learners. We will be working in WP from now until early December, with one option for a final project being writing a full article for English WP. I am looking for folks willing to help out mentoring my students (27 in all), with questions they will have about WP standards and practices while they are working. Its also really good for them to get feedback on their English from someone other than the teacher... or from the "real world" so to speak.
