Yes, fine, so here we go :-), -jkb- 14:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

You will need admin rights to translate MediaWiki pages. See Wikilivres:Localization. Would you like to get them? Yann 15:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Yann, thanks for your trust. Sure, I think I could need the rights for different things, and I hope you know how I use such rights. So, it would be usefull to get them - and I thank you. -jkb- 16:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
So, done. ;o) You can add yourself here: Wikilivres:Administrators. Yann 16:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, A quick one (by the way, a very good song by the Who, 60's)... Thanks again, I'll do my best (Freddie Frinton in Dinner for One, -jkb- 16:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations; happy that you are admin here :) -Zephyrus 17:37, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I think that's a good way to meet again :-) -jkb- 17:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to this Canadian site and adminship here. I have translated the Czech link from the Chinese Main Page while welcoming Czech as the seventh language here. My native Chinese is the sixth one.--Jusjih 02:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, and thanks as well for the notices in the oldwikisource. Regards, -jkb- 11:26, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

about this project

Hello, I think the articles would be deleted because the site lacks "notability". Actually there was a page Wikilivres on the French Wikipedia, but it was deleted. Yann 09:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

hm. -jkb- 10:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Although I have a lot of critics for the notability criteria on Wikipedia, I don't think there could or should be an article about Wikilivres. In my opinion, the most useful is to try to promote Wikilivres as an alternative to Commons when images can't be hosted there. Obviously images hosted on Wikilivres can't be used on Wikipedia now (but that could change), it would still be very interesting to have a nearly official status as Commons backup. Regards, Yann 16:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, I add links to Wikilivres wherever I can, on author pages on Wikipedia. That's really useful and very few people complain. You can help here, especially in other languages than English and French. Yann 01:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Yann, in fact, adding links to WL was the initial reason for me to speak about this point. If there is no information what WL is it can be difficult to explain why I link to it. The same problem: notability, what is it? But nevertheless, I will link to WL in the German and Czech projects soon, now preparing some simple templates. Regards, -jkb- 13:40, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


Template:Categorytoc/documentation

I am not quite sure what if for and how it is going to be used. This is also sounds puzzling for me:

(English) This template is to be used in categories with a great number of entries.

"with a great number of entries." ???? "entries" --- do you mean "pages" Could you show some examples of the use of this template for me to understand what it is about? Dmitrismirnov 17:47, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

See Category:25%, Category:50%, Category:75% or Category:100%. It should help to find in these categories the letter you want, otherwise you are to scroll many many times. -jkb- 18:26, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
add: i.e. only such letters should be there which can stand on the first place of a word (or title). -jkb- 18:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

I still do not understand how it will be used.

These letters are unlikely to be the First letters of Russian Words:

Ъ Ы Ь

These letters are not in use in the Contemporary Russian:

Ґ Ѓ Ђ Є

І Ѣ Ѳ Ѵ

Ѱ Ѯ Ѫ Ѧ Ѡ Ѿ Ѥ Ѭ


І і Ѣ ѣ Ѳ ѳ Ѵ ѵ — Ѱ ѱ ѱ҃ Ѯ ѯ ѯ҃ Ѫ ѫ Ѧ ѧ ї Ѡ ω Ѿ ѿ Є Ѥ Ѭ ѻ҃ ѹ ѕ ıа — Dmitrismirnov 22:33, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, it works already, see e.g. the Category:100% with some 2357 entries where the template is in use. If you search Russian works like Автобиография (Честертон) you have a problem because this page appears after you scrolled some 11 times. Now you can klick on the Russian А and you will get it immediatelly. My only problem was that I do not know the Russian alphabet properly and secondly that I do not know what letter do not appear at the beginning of a word. In fact, I copied the Russian alphabet somewhere and I was sure there are some Ukrainian letters and some very old letters as well - now it seems to be all right. Kind regards and thanks for your help, -jkb- 23:02, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

import Georgian texts

Of course! Thank you a lot! --Gaeser 08:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Georgian

Hello,

I have seen that you imported some Georgian texts. Thank you for that. Could you add a proper header where it is missing, and at least the name of the author? Thanks, Yann 16:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Sure. Originally I thought that somebody from the Georgien users will help. Well. Anyway, I have a list (User:-jkb-/Import Tabidze) and I will do it. Regards, -jkb- 16:35, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Léonard Bercy

Hello, the 1957 was because I copy from Jules Castier to make the page (and Le Cœur et la Raison). I have already search in every possible mean I know, french annd belgian library... he's quite unknown, like most of small translators JeanFaucille 19:24, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I have seen it. Follow Wikilivres:Community Portal/en#Léonard Bercy, regards -jkb- 19:34, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I also searched for him in the French National catalog, but could not find him. I find we could include this work. The alternative is to write to the publisher asking for details. Yann 11:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

OK. In the moment I included the not-PD template I didn't know that some other users searched in the national catalogue etc. I think we could include the work as well, either without any notice about a licence or mightbe with something like

The translator of this work died unknown. All attempts to determine any birth or death data in appropriate databases had no result. It can be assumed that the translator is an unknown pseudonyme or died more than 50 years ago. Thus this work is in the public domain in countrie where the copyright term is the author's life plus 50 years or less at least.

or any similar wording. -jkb- 12:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Happy you're back

Very welcome  :) --Zephyrus 05:26, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

OK. Because there are much to translate I will make it in a few part...

done, pls see if everything is ok; when you need a help later on so let me know! -jkb- 04:26, 23 September 2012 (EDT)
Thanks. I made mistake in MediaWiki:Latestfiles-url/pl . There should be:

Hi! Thank you for the congratulation. What about my best friend, Electron Bot - usually, we have the same point of view, but not always ;) Electron ツ ➧☎ 11:58, 30 September 2013 (AKDT)

I've understood this!

New accounts

I have just restored account creation, and will be watching recent changes very closely to see what happens. I suggest waiting a few days before removing the banner. Eclecticology 13:14, 3 November 2013 (AKST)

OK. And it happened... I think we should do something with the mail registration. -jkb- 15:19, 3 November 2013 (AKST)
Ouch! They were fast! I have shut it back down, and will see what I can do about mail registrations. Eclecticology 01:28, 4 November 2013 (AKST)

Ad: new mediawiki pages

Hi! Maybe you are right but I only finished transaltion for this teplate, that was taken from Commons. So, the parameters names are the same as they are on Commons. If you like change them I am not opposite. Electron ツ ➧☎ 15:11, 12 November 2013 (AKST)

einen guten Rutsch!

wünsch ich auch. Viele Grüße von --Konrad Stein 07:05, 31 December 2013 (AKST)

dead slow

The new host has been acting strangely. It's had big outages, and when control is regained, it's dead slow. With the first outage I was advised that it was because the zPanel had too many connections. I have learned that now I can at least reboot the server when it goes out. The investigation goes on. Eclecticology 15:18, 30 March 2014 (PDT)

Thanks for the report, sorry that you have so much work with it! Good luck, -jkb- 16:06, 30 March 2014 (PDT)
Asaf looked into it. Apparently it was a matter of the caching server not running. Eclecticology 01:51, 31 March 2014 (PDT)

Congrats!  :) --Zephyrus 14:10, 1 May 2014 (PDT)

Oh, it's running again - fine! And many thanks fopr the 10-cake! So long, for the next 10 years... -jkb- 14:28, 1 May 2014 (PDT)

It's always great to have experienced and reliable people who remember the wiki spirit. Eclecticology 22:18, 1 May 2014 (PDT)

Well, sometimes I need as short "A Hard Year's Night" :-), but it's OK ... Thanks! -jkb- 02:38, 2 May 2014 (PDT)

Recent outage

See my comments at Wikilivres:Community Portal/en. Apart from this things are going well. Eclecticology 12:47, 19 December 2014 (PST)

Oh yes, I've seen it, sure. Thanks. Will be working here a bit more next days, after having blocked some more hundreds of sock puppets on German wp :-) - cheers -jkb- 16:33, 19 December 2014 (PST)

... back and working again. -jkb- 14:54, 30 September 2015 (PDT)

Good news!  :-) --Zephyrus 06:18, 2 October 2015 (PDT)

Wanted files

OK. I will try to upload the most wanted files in the nearest future... It is worrying that Eclecticology is still out the board; for a long time (he didn't logged from 1 June 2015). Only he can fix the problem with files from Commons in generaly. Regards Electron ツ ➧☎ 04:29, 3 February 2016 (PST)

Template:Ping Very fine! The most important templates I use work now. Lot of thanks. - Yep, did somebody hear something what's going on with Eclecticology? -jkb- 09:22, 7 February 2016 (PST) - OK, I will import the template in next days :-) -jkb- 09:23, 7 February 2016 (PST)
P.S. Question: do you convert the images by yourself? I would need https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gtk-go-forward-ltr.svg but it doesn't seem to be there as png... -jkb- 09:32, 7 February 2016 (PST)
There on Commons file's page is a line with the links: This image rendered as PNG in other widths: 200px, 500px, 1000px, 2000px. Download 200px version (because it is the smolest one nad here is no need better resolution; lower resolution works faster, I think) and change the name (the orginal is eg. 200px-Gtk-go-forward-ltr.svg.png) to Gtk-go-forward-ltr.png and upload it here.
Electron ツ ➧☎ 04:03, 12 February 2016 (PST)
OK. I've done it for you; else files you can try yourselfe. Electron ツ ➧☎ 04:36, 12 February 2016 (PST)
Really great, Electron! Thanks, I will see what I could need and make it then. Cheers, -jkb- 15:22, 14 February 2016 (PST)
I upload these files on user request, see: User_talk:Paul-Eric_Langevin. I think Paul-Eric Langevin create these autors pages to put there links to pages with articles on theirs works. But OK, we can discuss this. Electron ツ ➧☎ 16:49, 22 February 2016 (PST)

Question

Hello -jkb-, I haven't understood what is not really needed in two blocked users yesterday. Was this blocking requested by them? Regards, --Zephyrus 16:08, 4 September 2016 (PDT)
