Franse Wikisource tekst als bron voor een vertaling gebruiken

Links en rechts zijn er diverse artikelen in de Journal de Bruxelles met informatie over de nl:wiki:Brits-Russische expeditie naar Noord-Holland. Dit zijn:

• 'De Leyde, le 9 Frimaire (30_novembre 1799).'
• 'De Londres, le 30 Brumaire (21 novembre 1799).'
• 'D'Amsterdam, le 13 Frimaire (4 décembre 1799).'
• 'De Leyde, le 25 Frimaire (16 décembre 1799).' (de belangrijkste tekst)
• 'De Londres, le 19 Frimaire (10 décembre 1799).'

Ik stel voor een boek te maken met als titel: Vertaalde nieuwsberichten uit 'Journal de Bruxelles' over de Brits-Russische expeditie naar Noord-Holland. Per bladzijde wil ik een nieuwsbericht laten vertalen en als bron een van de bovenstaande links gebruiken. Is een bronlink naar de Franse wikisource mogelijk? Dat in plaats van de het gebruikelijke beeld van de gescande tekst. Sommige nieuwsberichten zijn gespreid over meerdere fysieke bladzijden (scans) in de Commons.Smiley.toerist (overleg) 5 mrt 2019 18:19 (CET)

Uit [3] maak ik uit dat het mogelijk is naar anderstalige bronnen te verwijzen. Ik wil een goede structuur opzetten, zodat de vertaalschool de vertaling als stageproject kan doen. Hoe pak ik dit aan?Smiley.toerist (overleg) 5 mrt 2019 18:06 (CET)

Uit m'n hoofd gezegd gaat (of ging?) collega A. Wossink daarover. Als ik jou was zou ik contact met hem opnemen via zijn OP en/of Wikimail of rechtstreeks met de betreffende verta(a)l(st)er Frans. Een andere optie is een van onze Belgische collegae. Hun Frans is vaak uitstekend. Klaas `Z4␟` V:  18 apr 2019 22:54 (CEST)

Leuk plan. Ik neem aan dat het gaat over w:nl:Brits-Russische expeditie naar Noord-Holland.

In eerste instantie zouden de afzonderlijke vertaalde teksten op afzonderlijke pagina's kunnen worden geplaatst. Vgl. de pagina's van Gebruiker:Vincent Steenberg, bijv. Algemeen Handelsblad/Jaargang 87/Nummer 27684/Avondblad/Prijsvragen. Geef maar een gil als je hulp nodig hebt. Arne Wossink werkt al een tijdje niet meer bij WMNL. --Dick Bos (overleg) 31 jul 2019 13:06 (CEST)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Pages can use geocoordinates from Wikidata with the mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements Lua function or the #statements parser function. If they do, they will now be shown using a Kartographer <maplink> if the wiki can use Kartographer. You can report bugs or ask questions on Phabricator.
• There is now an EventStream to see when links are added or removed on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the discussions and plans.

Problems

• Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
• Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [4]
• Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [5][6]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar).

Changes later this week

• When you use rollback you will be able to get a confirmation prompt on most wikis. It asks you if you wanted to do the rollback. This is to avoid misclicks. You will have to opt in to get it. On German Wikipedia it will be an opt-out feature from 28 March. [7][8]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 March. It will be on all wikis from 21 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Admins will be able to block someone from editing a page or a namespace. This already works on a few Wikimedia wikis. You can read more. If your wiki wants to be an early tester of this, you can tell the developers. [9]
• Toolforge will shut down the Ubuntu Trusty job grid. This will happen the week of 25 March. Tools that use this grid needs to be moved to the new Debian Stretch job grid. If they haven't, they will be taken offline. Maintainers can restart the tools later. Users may not be able to use them in the meanwhile. You can see a list of affected tools.

Recent changes

• The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [10]

Problems

• There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [11]
• The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [12]
• Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [13]

Changes later this week

Recent changes

• More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.

This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [23][24]
• The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

Dubbel opslaan

Beste collegae,

Is het wenselijk dat bronnen zowel hier als in de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia staan, zoals het geval is met Couperus' gedichten Afrodite en Odalisken? Ik had de teksten vervangen door links naar hier. Nadat ik dit had gedaan heeft iemand dat rücksichtslos teruggedraaid. Ik wil geen bewerkingsoorlog ontketenen en in de WP-naamruimte mag ik ook niet bewerken.^[1]
Wie kan dit daar wel aankaarten? Collegiale groeten, Klaas `Z4␟` V:  18 apr 2019 22:26 (CEST)

Reisbeurzen voor Wikimania

Van 14-18 augustus vindt in Stockholm Wikimania plaats, de jaarlijkse internationale bijeenkomst van de Wikimediagemeenschap. Actieve Wikimedianen kunnen bij Wikimedia Nederland een beurs aanvragen voor deelname aan Wikimania. Dit kunnen volledige beurzen zijn voor reis, entree én verblijf, of een beurs voor een deel van de kosten.

Net als vorig jaar zou Wikimedia Nederland graag naast ervaren Wikimania-bezoekers ook tenminste twee Wikimedianen willen steunen die nog nooit naar Wikimania zijn geweest. Wil je Wikimania (misschien voor het eerst) meemaken, dan kun je met dit formulier een beurs aanvragen. Aanvragen moeten voor 1 juni worden ingediend.

Zoals altijd: je hoeft geen lid te zijn van Wikimedia Nederland om voor een beurs in aanmerking te komen. SRientjes (overleg) 16 mei 2019 12:55 (CEST)

Problems

• File descriptions for files from Commons were not shown properly on other Wikimedia wikis for a few days. For example the image descriptions and license information were missing. This has now been fixed. [41][42]
• Some diffs show an error message when you try to see them. The developers are working on fixing it. It could be because of some edit comments. [43][44]

Changes later this week

Future changes

• The content translation tool on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can tell the language team. [45]
• The Wikidata wbeditentity API endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [46]

• When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [55][56]
• The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [57]
• Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [58]

Nieuw sjabloon voor proofread-projecten: Img float

Om een afbeelding links of rechts op een pagina te krijgen met tekst ernaast, kan vanaf heden het Sjabloon:Img float worden gebruikt. Ik heb het "geleend" van en-ws. Als iemand zin heeft om het te vertalen (incl. de documentatie), hoor ik dat graag. --Dick Bos (overleg) 21 jul 2019 14:03 (CEST)

Bedankt, fijn dat dit sjabloon nu ook op ws-nl is! WeeJeeVee (overleg) 21 jul 2019 20:07 (CEST)

Deze Middelnederlandse bron

Hallo!

Ik kom hier zelden en weet dus niet zo goed wat wel en niet kan en mag en behoort. Ik kwam onlangs op googlebooks een

boek genaamd "De Middelnederlandsche poezie" van H.E. Moltzer uit 1868 tegen dat als "ebook -free" op het internet staat. Er staan een aantal stukken Middelnederlandse literatuur in die ik hier nog niet zie. Kan ik wat daaruit overnemen? Hoe zet ik dat hier het beste neer? Er staan wat "sotternie"-ën in. Misschien moet ik daar een nieuw kopje op het Mnd. portaal zetten?

Jcwf (overleg) 13 aug 2019 20:28 (CEST)

Dag @Jcwf, leuk je hier te ontmoeten! Wat hier kan en mag en behoort enzo, dat weet ik ook niet precies. Het is hier zoals op nl-wiki: voel je vrij en ga je gang. Maar..... ik heb je boek even bekeken, en - ondanks het feit dat het auteursrechtelijk geen probleem is - zal het opnemen van dit boek (via de "proofread"-methode) een behoorlijk lastige klus zijn. Het kan zeker. Maar als je niet ervaren bent, denk ik dat het veel te ingewikkeld is. Ik doel dan vooral op dingen als: regelval, paragraaf-indeling, voetnoten, enz. Bovendien is het veeeeeel. Als het vijf bladzijden was, was het nog wel te overzien. Je kunt natuurlijk altijd met enkele bladzijden beginnen. Maar als je hier iets zou willen doen, raad ik je aan om met iets makkelijkers te beginnen. Gewoon recht-toe-recht-aan tekst. Goede kwaliteit "OCR". En niet te veel, om mee te beginnen.

De gang van zaken is ongeveer als volgt: de pdf uploaden naar IA. Van IA naar Commons met een speciale tool, die er een djvu-bestand van maakt. Van Commons naar Wikisource/index-bestand. Het index-bestand ordenen en alle afzonderlijke pagina's opmaken en proeflezen enzo. Dan in de hoofdnaamruimte brengen. Kijk maar eens bij de projecten-lijst. Dan kun je je wel een indruk vormen. Als je nog vragen hebt: stel ze gerust. Groet, --Dick Bos (overleg) 16 aug 2019 21:22 (CEST)

Update on the consultation about office actions

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 16 aug 2019 10:03 (CEST)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• There will be no Tech News issue next week. The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 2 September 2019.

Problems

• Some abuse filters stopped working because of a code change. Only variables for the current action will work. Variables defined inside a branch may not work outside of that branch. You can read more to see how to fix the filters.
• Only six accounts can be created from one IP address per day. Between 12 August and August 15 this was two accounts per day. This was because of a security issue. It is now six accounts per day again. [90]

Changes later this week

• Only a limited number of accounts can be created from one IP address. An IP address can be whitelisted so that it can create as many accounts as needed. This is useful at events where many new persons learn to edit. IP addresses that are whitelisted for this reason will also not show CAPTCHAs when you create accounts. This will happen on Wednesday. [91]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 August. It will be on all wikis from 22 August (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 August at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• There is an RFC about creating a new global user group with the right to edit abuse filters. This will be used to fix broken filters and make sure all filters will still work when software changes happen. You can read more and comment.
• Special:Contributions/newbies will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead. [92]

New tools and IP masking

Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English.
