Zo, nu is er ook een Wikipedia NL ambassade. Nu nog een ambassadeur. Is natuurlijk een functie die geen functie is en waarschijnlijk niets zal van komen, maar toch. Ook ere-functies moeten ingevuld worden. Aangezien de wereld van Wikipedia draait rond de Engelstalige Wikipedia zou het best iemand zijn die goed Engels kan, ook op de Engelstalige actief is en de discussielijsten leest.

Terwijl we bezig zijn, in de Friese Wikipedia lijkt niet veel leven te zitten en alle Friezen spreken veronderstel ik toch ook wel Nederlands. Daarom dacht ik ook een Frysk Consulaat op te richten. Voorlopig in het Nederlands. Dit zou kunnen helpen om de Friese Wikipedia in de zaailingfase te houden. Zonder porren vrees ik dat de Friese WIkipedia wel eens een dode Wikipedia zou kunnen worden. Spreekt (en schrijft)er iemand hier eigenlijk Fries? (ik niet) -- Friese consult spelen wil ik gerust doen hoor, maar als er iemand zou zijn die Fries spreekt zou dat wel beter zijn.

text: Liefst :-) Neen, serieus, ik doe het eigenlijk enkel omdat er anders niets van komt. Eigenlijk zou "Contactpersoon" beter zijn dan "Ambassadeur", ben ik nu toch al wanneer er vragen binnen komen. Giskart 15:42 13 dec 2002 (CET)

thread_title:  Nieuwe Wiki? 

message: In de duits- (:de:Wikipedia:Botschaft) en engelstalige (:en:Wikipedia:Local Embassy) Wikipedia is de "Ambassade" vooral een lijst met afdelingen voor (min of meer) iedere vreemde taal, waar gebruikers zich zelf kunnen inschrijven, als zij berijd zijn om andere gebruikers te helpen met vertaling enz. Als iemand dus bij voorbeeld vooral frans spreekt en schrijft en in de engelstalige Wikipedia een fout vindt, die hij graag zou willen corrigeren, maar zelf daarvoor niet goed genoeg engels kan, dan kan hij in de Embassy onder het hoofdstuk "Français" een aantal gebruikers vinden, die frans en engels spreken en schrijven en berijd zijn, in zo'n geval te helpen. Is het de bedoeling, dat de "Ambassade" hier in de nederlandse Wikipedia ook zo'n rol zou moeten gaan spelen? Zou ik mijzelf dan mogen erbijschrijven om te helpen met duits-frans-engels en italiaans? Of is dat helemaal niet nodig, omdat de meeste beschaafde nederlanders sowieso één à drie vreemde talen spreken en schrijven?!

message: This suggestion crossed my mind quite a long time ago, but now, during the World Cup, I decided to try and bring it to life. the matter is that names of some footballers - Kuijt, Kluivert, Mathijsen - have been pronounced by Polish (and not only) commentators in a lot of diferent ways. Would it be possible to make a set of audio files (like in the article Johan Cruijff) with the proper pronunciation of names of the most notable sportpeople, politicians and artists?

message: Dear neighbors,
I’ve just written this small article for the german Wikipedia about a 17th / 18th century convoy ship from Bremen, called Wappen von Bremen or Wapen van Bremen, employed mainly to protect the shipping routes from the Weser estuary to England and the Netherlands. The ship was reportedly build 1674 in the Netherlands and was comanded by a dutch captain known in Bremen as Jürgen Bake and probably originally named Jurjan Baeck. Before beeing captain of the Wappen von Bremen (from 1691 to 1698 and again in 1704) he was employed in or by the city of Amsterdam and seemed to have had a job of some standing there.
Since I would like to add some more information about Baeck / Bake and the origin of the Wappen von Bremen, I would like to ask, if someone here has access to a major dutch encyclopedia and / or register of 17th century ships and captains and could check there if something is available.
Thanks a lot, Gepardenforellenfischer.

message: Would somebody like to look at en:Raenette Wan - Ten Schaepen-Koeienveldtdorp, a new article in the English Wikipedia, which is suspected of being a hoax. Do you know of this village near Veendam where no-one under 70 may go? Is "Koeienveldtdorp" a probable name for a person? You can read on the article's talk page how the author and one supporter, both new accounts, have consistently failed to provide any reliable source. If none is supplied soon, I shall start a deletion process; that will still give several days for information to be supplied if the village is real. Please reply on the article's talk page. Regards, User:JohnCD from :en:wp
*Thank you for your prompt replies. The article has been speedy-deleted as a hoax. We were fairly sure - the name looked improbable, but in England there are places called "Bishop's Itchington" and "Middle Wallop" and people called "Clutterbuck" and "Ramsbotham", so improbable is not the same as impossible.

message: Hi. This is 3coma14, coming from the spanish wikipedia. I'm trying to gather data about how other wikis deal with the de-adminship politics, in order to have an overall view before discussing our own politic.
I would be very grateful if any of you is so kind to give answer to these questions:
*Do you have a specific politic to handle with this?
*Is it by committee or is put to the popular vote?
*If voting
**Who can vote?
**What percentage of support is required to maintain the flag?
*Do you loose the flag due to long periods of absence?
*How many de-sysop have occurred in your wiki? (if possible, separated by reasons: I mean, not mixing voluntary with forced cases, or absent-caused cases with admins with a discussed trust).
*How many administrators do you have?
*(And any other relevant data you may consider)

replies: text: I'll try to answer the questions, my English is not to good, but hopefully understandable.

text: In the dutch wiki we've 4 ways on which a sysop can loose his rights. 
#Ask on meta to remove his or her own rights
#Not enough edits in a year, an admin who hasn't done 50 edits in the last 365 will lose his rights. I think this happened 10-20 times in the past. 
#Every user (at least 100 edits?) can start a desysop for an admin. The admin needs to get 75% support to keep his rights. 16 desysops have been started (Overview. Only one time the admin lost his rights. For every sysop this procedure can only be started once in 6 months. This never happends with as reason "inactive" but mainly because an admin did something the user didn't like.
#() Once a year a sysop has a "herbevestigingsprocedure" (=reinstatement or confirmation procedure --DerekvG 18 mrt 2010 13:41 (CET))(the sysops are separated in 4 groups so this procedure is every 3 months for 1/4th of the sysops). There is a first round in which users (100 edits at least) can oppose against an sysop. If a sysop gets 4 opposes he will go to the 2nd round. In this round the sysop has to get 75% support to keep his rights. In this procedure we've lost 18 mods since 2006 in the second round, some of those 18 asked to revoke their rights during the second voting-round. (mainly because they are thought to be not active enough).
*We have 66 admins and 2 special admins (who don't edit on the wiki). Above that we've 81 ex-admins. 
*I think our arbcom can in theory revoke the rights from an admin but this has never happened in the past. And as far as I can remember nobody has asked them to revoke an admin his or her rights.

message: Hello,
I'm doing my project into language processing and I'm using Wikipedia. I want to use several languages in the tests, included the one of this version. And since I need some articles to analyze I wanted to ask for your help. Precisely, some keywords I will explain now.
Actually what I am looking for is a list in your language with the names of those territories which represents an entity of speakers (therefore possible wikipedia contributors) of your language, the name its people or gentilic, and the name of the language (if it is the same language and it has a different name). These territories must be in practice independent from each others or at least be considered so by the speakers. This is the case of colonies, excolonies, other countries which historically speak the same language or minorities attached into the country next to yours.
For example, a list in english something like. "english", "england", "irish", "ireland", "scottish", "scotland", "british", "united_kingdom", "american", "united_states", "canada", "canadian", "australia", "australian", "new_zealand", "new_zealander". Probably there are some others which are not very big but I don't know cuz I'm not familiar. 
If you were so kind to produce me this list, I would so appreciate it! Thank you very much!

In the Galipedia (Wikipedia in Galician language) we are realising a small project to give to know this Galician poet (you could translate part of the english version) that he will be devoted in the Day of the Galician Letters of this year.

message: Good evening.  I am writing to you to raise the issue of off-wiki vote canvassing for a particular candidate of the local Arbcom election currently in progress.  During the evening, I've visited #wikipedia-nl on Freenode IRC, and been greeted, as have several other users entering the channel, with a direct link to the Arbcom voting, and a section to vote for a certain candidate.  I don't know entirely about your rules and procedures, but certainly on the English Wikipedia, where I'm resident, vote canvassing in any form for an Election is forbidden entirely.
I have made a log of the IRC channel to provide proof of the canvassing taking place, and I am happy to release this to a properly authorised user (someone from the current ARBCOM probably), but only in confidence, since directly publishing the logs as I understand it, is also strictly forbidden.  
Your urgent attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

text: (bwc) I think you are quite over reacting here. I was there on the channel, and am happy to sketch the circumstances. It was 30 minutes before the vote closed, and one person was very tight. So people who didn't vote yet, were suggested to do so. Some humurous remarks were indeed made which might have led you to think otherwise if you don't speak Dutch.

As a lot of people from the Netherlands and Belgium, the countries with a large active Dutch population on Wikipedia, have a holiday and like to spend time on Wikipedia. As the holiday is two weeks and the previous writing week was considered to be too short, we organized this time a double writing, meaning that the writing has the period of 2 weeks instead of one.

Oviedo, September 8, 2014
200px|thumbnail|right|Asturian is alive and in use.
Next September 12 and 13, the Asturian Wikipedia community of users will celebrate with the support of Wikimedia España Chapter the tenth anniversary of  Uiquipedia, the free encyclopedia in Asturian. The events will take place in Auditorio Príncipe Felipe (Plaza La Gesta, Oviedo).
The first article in Asturian was «Zazaki», a minority language spoken in Turkey. That first edit was in July 26, 2004. Ten years later, more than 800 000 edits have been made on almost 20 000 articles, and numbers are growing every day with the work of tens of volunteers. And it doesn’t stop there: other Wikimedia projects in Asturian have developed, such as Wikicionary, Wikisource and Wikiquote. Managed by Wikimedia Foundation, all of them make part of a global movement that started in 2001 when Wikipedia started with the goal of delivering freely all human knowledge.
To commemorate this date, Uiquipedia and Wikimedia España are carrying out two days of celebration events so that the projects in Asturian are better known. Literature, poetry music and traditions in Asturian will be present. It’s free and everybody is welcome. In addition, Wikimedia España will have its annual General Assembly in Oviedo.
See here the schedule of activities.

message: Hi,
This is an invitation to Edit filter managers and patrollers who refer to edit filters from your wiki project to share and know about effective public filters from various wikimedia wiki projects.
It is almost six years since March 2009, that Edit filters are in use on various Wikimedia wiki projects. At meta we have started a platform page :m:Edit filters benefiting to various local Wikiprojects to know good and effective (public) edit filters by sharing of relevant information with rest of wikimedia community. This will help editfilter managers, and there by concerned projects, to benefit from maximising potential of best possible (public) edit filters.       
We are keen to have your participation in this collaborative and constructive endeavour and the discussions to kno and learn from each other's knowledge and experiences.

message: At :Portaal:Tibet the Tibetan separatist/independence flag, which is banned in Mainland China, is being used here. Wikipedia is supposed to be politically neutral and using the flag could be seen as taking a political stance (much like the use of the Vietnamese flag in relation to overseas Vietnamese). I think the :File:Potala palace24.jpg (which is used in :en:Template:WikiProject Tibet) is far more suitable as there are no political undertones here.
The portal should be able to have "Tibetan separatism" as a featured topic/article and in that case the flag ought to be able to be displayed there. It's just that the flag doesn't belong in the header. Wikipedia shouldn't be seen as endorsing the political movement.
I opened a meta discussion about the issue at :meta:Wikimedia_Forum#Unnecessary_uses_of_separatist_flags
The Tibetan flag should be mentioned in articles about separatism and sections about separatism and/or the historical use of the flag (before it became known as a separatist flag), but it should not be used unnecessarily.

replies: text: :Actually, only the symbol of Tibet is a separated symbol, we'd better not use it. But the flag? it's just a history flag of Tibet used from 1912 to 1951, the photo can prove it. Seperate flag? The Chinese Wikipedia says that only Chinese government think it's a separate flag; 14th Dalai Lama says it's a only autonomous flag. ().Wikipedia is not censored. wikipedia is not a website in Red China, so it's no need to obey laws in China, just obey law in Florida is enough.
replies: text: ::Unfortunately the Tibetan flag has become a symbol of the independence/separatism movement. Wikipedia should post information that may be unfavorable towards certain governments, but it should not show favoritism toward a political point of view. I believe using that Tibetan flag would show favoritism towards one side.

message: Hi! Wiki Science Competition has started, sitenotices have appeared for sure in Spain, Austria, Russian Federation, USA and Ukraine, and Italy will join soon with a massive national campaign.
As a member of the academic committee I did my best to reduce the gap between countries both in the composition of the juries and now in the outreach. I did inform many platforms (enwiki, eswiki, frwiki) during the preparation of the event, now I am informing all national institutions, associations and federations of science and technology I can contact, especially those located in countries without national juries (so, also in Belgium and NL) and I am posting notes on LinkedIn groups everyday, and I am contacting national chapters and user groups.. and so on. That's why I am here.
We prepared banners for many countries but on meta they say it is not wise to use them all, so if you want to use the style and do one here on your wiki for few days, just let us know. In your case the banner is not country-specific so it is generic. 
Otherwise, if you have social media and you want to inform your friends and colleagues, the twitter hashtags are #WSC2017, #WikiScience2017, #WikiScience

message: The article currently named Talpa TV (bedrijf) was about the SBS Broadcasting Group (whole Europe) in general. The article was previously named SBS Broadcasting, and is still interwiki-linked to :en:SBS Broadcasting Group (wikidata:Q2143391). But for some reason, the portion about the now-gone company's business in the Netherlands increased, remains unseparated, and the article was moved to Talpa TV (bedrijf) when the remaining Dutch company now under Talpa was actually renamed.
How do I make a split request so the article can be split into SBS Broadcasting (the defunct pan-Europe business acquired by PSS1 SE) and Talpa TV (bedrijf) (the channels in the Netherlands acquired by Talpa), and the latter can join :en:Talpa TV? JSH-alive (overleg) 28 jan 2018 14:26 (CET)
