Hoi! Thanks for your translation, Patio. I am afraid however you have been worked on an outdated version dated May 2007 or so. For getting the latest version with January 2008 stats, please give a look to Translation requests/WMF/Our projects/source. Again, thanks so much!! --Aphaia 13:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pathoschild,

(Copy from Aphaia's Talk Page) I made a beta version in Dutch and added an extra category to mark it as translated.
I guess a better way is to use another template so it comes in the category for proofread/correction or whatever.
Can you explain me how, please? Templates are one of my weakest points unfortunately, I'm happy that I can read them ;-).
Greetings and thanks in advance, your would-be translator Patio 13:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Patio,

You can change the status at the template put on the top of Translation requests/WMF/Our projects/nl, now there Dutch version is indicated as "nl /Nederlands (needs updating)". Since the current "beta" version seems not to be updated yet, it would be better for us not to call it "translated" or "proofreading", since it needs more update & translation in my opinion.

If you would like to merge your user subpage version and the current one, please let me or any other meta admins know that.

If you have further questions about this "status" template, ask User:Pathoschild for information (He created it so has the best knowledge). Cheers,--Aphaia 13:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

(end Copy)

Updated en removed extra Category as per Aphaia's request. How to change status to 'proofread' or something when applicable?
Thanks in advance for an answer Patio 10:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Patio. Sorry for the delay in responding. You can do it by editing Template:Translation/Translation requests/WMF/Our projects. In the edit box, there is this line: " |nl |needs updating". Simply change "needs updating" to "done" (or one of the other statuses listed at the top of the edit box). —{admin} Pathoschild 19:13:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I used "Proofreading". Some feedback of colleagues is always handy. Patio 09:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you're listed at Category:Translators eng-nld. Would you mind proofreading the Dutch version of Soft redirect (located here)? I basically just copied the page from nlwiki, but I would appreciate if a fluent speaker verified if what I added makes any sense at all :) Regards, Jafeluv 16:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't think I can give you an answer regarding that, but I'd be interested to know as well, so please let me kow if you have any feedback :) Cheers, Waldir 09:58, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll ask it in the LinkedIn group. TTYL Patio 12:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey Patio,

I wanted to ask for your help. As you may be aware we have been running banners on many language wikis. We have a lot of new content this year and I really want to conduct a thorough review of our translations. This is a combination of feedback from the community, readers, donors as well as those with professional translator experience. This will help us ensure the highest quality of translations used in our messaging.

To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to give us feedback for Dutch using This Link

Simply follow the simple instructions on that page and if you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Many Thanks

Hi Patio,

Along with more hundreds of others, you recently signed Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer, which I wrote.

Today, we have 562 signatures here on Meta, and another 61 on change.org, for a total of 623 signatures. Volunteers have fully translated it into 16 languages, and begun other translations. This far exceeds my most optimistic hopes about how many might sign the letter -- I would have been pleased to gain 200 siguatures -- but new signatures continue to come.

I believe this is a significant moment for Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Very rarely have I seen large numbers of people from multiple language and project communities speak with a unified voice. As I understand it, we are unified in a desire for the Wikimedia Foundation to respect -- in actions, in addition to words -- the will of the community who has built the Wikimedia projects for the benefit of all humanity. I strongly believe it is possible to innovate and improve our software tools, together with the Wikimedia Foundation. But substantial changes are necessary in order for us to work together smoothly and productively. I believe this letter identifies important actions that will strongly support those changes.

Have you been discussing these issues in your local community? If so, I think we would all appreciate an update (on the letter's talk page) about how those discussions have gone, and what people are saying. If not, please be bold and start a discussoin on your Village Pump, or in any other venue your project uses -- and then leave a summary of what kind of response you get on the letter's talk page.

Finally, what do you think is the right time, and the right way, to deliver this letter? We could set a date, or establish a threshold of signatures. I have some ideas, but am open to suggestions.

Thank you for your engagement on this issue, and please stay in touch. -Pete F (talk) 18:39, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Hoi KlaasZ4usV, goed punt. Ik ken overigens bijna niemand persoonlijk, ik herken namen en ken hun werk, maar terugdenkend kan ik me inderdaad enkele fotos herinneren van Elly. Mvg, Taketa (talk) 07:51, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Je hoeft geen foto te hebben om het geslacht te weten. Er zijn mensen die het vermelden op hun GP en/of hun Voorkeuren. Doen ze geen van beide wordt het lastig vooral bij groeps- (Bosteksten op :w:nl)/IP-accounts (teveel om op te noemen) en transseksuelen/travestieten. Voor die laatste had een vriendin van mij jaren geleden een oplossing: ze addresseerde hem/haar als: J&S (om privacyredenen alleen de eerste letter genoemd). Collegiale groeten van  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  09:51, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Hallo KlaasZ4usV,

I've read your request at italian Wiktionary Bar. If you want you can locally ask the deletion of your user page simply adding the template {{Cancella|"reason"}} at the top of your page. However, if you need to delete your user page on many projects you can read this page. A bot will delete your UP and your Meta User page will be shown. --Nastoshka (talk) 20:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, dankjewel, grazie :-) Kind regards from Tuscany,  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  11:57, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't know who is globally blocked (at least not you, and not JurgenNL), and why do you edit his user page here? If you have some comments leave them to his user talk page. I don't think that he wants that your comment is now shown on his user page on the Dutch Wikipedia (nl:User:JurgenNL). --Stryn (talk) 06:55, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Ciao Stryn,

You're right. That's what Kukkie should have done, but: removing/editing of other people wherever they make them, is not done. That's why I reverted your edit, capisci?  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  07:02, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
P.S. I wonder how you know what other people want…

Oh, yeah, it was Kukkie, who wrote the message, not you, sorry. Well, it may vary of the project how people handle this kind of things. I have always reverted edits to others user pages. But let it be there then, I don't like edit warring about nonsense things. --Stryn (talk) 07:11, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Right. The message was very positive, that's why removing is wrong IMNSHO  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  09:21, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your participation in IdeaLab during the Inspire Campaign focused on improving content curation & review processes from February to March 2016. I'm interested in hearing your feedback about your participation during campaign, so if you're able, I invite you to complete this brief survey to describe how you contributed to the campaign and how you felt about participating.

Immediate results of the campaign can be found here. Please feel free to review them and let me know if you have any questions about the campaign or the survey. Thanks! I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 02:31, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

You’re getting this message because you participated in the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey and we want to make sure you don't miss it this year – or at least can make the conscious choice to ignore if it you want to. The 2015 survey decided what the Community Tech team should work on during 2016. It was also the focus of Wikimedia hackathons and work by other developers. You can see the status of wishes from the 2015 wishlist at 2015 Community Wishlist Survey/Results.

The 2016 Community Wishlist Survey is now open for wishes. You can create proposals until November 20. You will be able to vote on which wishes you think are best or most important between November 28 and December 12. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  11:20, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

There has been a request to inform all who voted in the RfC about interlinking accounts involved with paid editing about the following adjustment in the "statement of issue" on Sept 18th, 2017.

It was clarified that this effort will help deal not only with impersonation of specific Wikipedians but also claims of being in good standing made by those who are not.[1] Thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:59, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, Doc James. Makes my support even stronger than it already was. Disclosure of real name and/or name of/at paying company an obligation to avoid impersonation and possibility to make possible confusion with an existing other Wikipedian who does not get paid for her/his contribution by a third party and/or WMF/local chapter/whatever... Klaas `Z4␟` V:  20:21, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I'm contacting you because you voted for the Infobox Wizard in the 2017 Community Wishlist Survey.

The Infobox Wizard has gotten an upgrade - it's now a Template Wizard which works for infoboxes and all other templates. The feature is being developed as an extension (which will allow for localization) but there is a prototype user script which works well.

The Wishlist Team would love it if you could take a few minutes to try the Template Wizard prototype script out and give us feedback on whether it lives up to your expectations. This feedback will help build the script into an extension. To get started, add the following to your Special:MyPage/common.js -

mw.loader.load( 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Samwilson/TemplateWizard.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );

The Template Wizard will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template. Your thoughts are needed on whether it makes sense for the wizard to be available for all users by default or if there should be a preference for it. If it's a preference, what should the default be? Please leave your feedback here. Thank you! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Ik ben voornamelijk actief op MediaWiki.org, waar soms een banner voor een vertaling op Meta verschijnt. Aangezien ik meehelp met het vertalen van de software op translatewiki help ik ook graag op Meta mee. Bedankt voor het verbeteren! Ik had de meeste vertalingen overgenomen van een eerdere variant van hetzelfde bericht van een paar jaar terug, in de hoop dat het gebruik van dezelfde taal duidelijker zou zijn.

Wat betreft mijn gebruikersnaam, deze heeft verder niets met de oorspronkelijke gebruiker Mainframe te maken. Ik had, voordat Wikimedia alle gebruikersnamen samenvoegde, op de Nederlandse Wikipedia een gebruikersaccount onder de naam Mainframe. De keuze voor deze naam was puur een fascinatie met Mainframe computers in het algemeen. —Mainframe98 _talk 09:18, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Okee. Ik kan je er meer over vertellen dan je niet wil weten. Met dat ik Wikimail naar je zond kwam de melding dat je mijn OP bewerkt hebt. Zo zie je maar dat vertalen van oude versies niet erg verstandig is. Soms ga ik ook naar TranslateWiki, maar momenteel kost dat iets teveel tijd. Deze verbeteringen konden er nog wel af. Ik kan je Wikidata ook van harte aanraden! Klaas `Z4␟` V:  09:30, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello. I'm reaching out to you as you participated in the 2017 Community Wishlist proposal for "Who Wrote That" project (previously known as "Blame Tool"). The Community Tech team is kicking things off on the project and we have an early-stage mockup available for you to look at. I invite you to follow that project page, where I will be posting periodic status updates for the project. You are also welcome to provide your thoughts on the talk page. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 22:57, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. You are receiving this message because you are active in the field of translations <3 The movement needs you! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help translators figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), we are asking your help for Chinese, Ukrainian, Bengali, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Farsi, German, Cantonese, Finnish, Hindi, Thai, Dutch, and Greek, as these also matter to affiliates! If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :) Thank you! Elitre (WMF) and Facilitators of ASBS 2019, 21:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi KlaasZ4usV,

If you remember, you participated in the 2019 Community Wishlist Survey, including the discussion for reviving "Crosswatch" to allow for cross-wiki watchlists (Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Revive Crosswatch tool).

I sent you this MassMessage because I wanted to let you know that I have made a user script to make accessing your watchlists on different wikis easier, since for now that wishlist item has not been actioned.

The way it works is that, on any wiki, when you look at your watchlist, there is a button labeled "CA" that takes you to the CentralAuth page for you. There, when looking at your own information, each link to a wiki ("meta.wikimedia.org", "www.wikidata.org", "de.wikipedia.org", etc.) is changed so that it links to your watchlist on that wiki.

If you are interested in using it, just add mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:DannyS712/Watchlist.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); to your global javascript page. This imports the code at m:User:DannyS712/Watchlist.js.

If you want to learn more, there is documentation for the script available at w:en:User:DannyS712/Watchlist. If you would like to discuss the script, talk to me at m:User talk:DannyS712.

Thanks, --05:50, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on 30 November, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. The communities will vote on the proposals between 8 December and 21 December.

The Community Tech team is focused on tools for experienced Wikimedia editors. You can write proposals in any language, and we will translate them for you. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!
