Happy New Year from me too

I noticed your articles about Claudius Nobs and Aaron Swartz. If you care to, you could add any recent deaths like these to the page Formula:Nuntii. Sometimes I add a reference to a newspaper, but there's no need to do this if we already have an article about the person.

And then, again if you want to, you could copy them into Formula:Aliquidnovi: this is displayed on the Pagina Prima and is intended for about 2/3 items, so, if you add a latest one, you could take the earliest one away.

It's your choice! If you don't do this, I probably will use your material and do it later in the day. All good wishes -- Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 10:10, 13 Ianuarii 2013 (UTC)

Intervista su wikipedia in latino.

Ciao sono un giornalista, collaboro con l'edizione italiana di vice.com. Sono interessato a intervistare qualcuno che sia coinvolto nel progetto di wikipedia in latino. Il progetto mi sembra interessante e nella lista degli "usores" sei l'unico di madrelingua italiana. Più che un'intervista sarebbe una chicacchierata. Non dovrebbe prenderti troppo tempo al massimo una mezzoretta su skype. Fammi sapere cosa ne pensi. Grazie

Per me in linea di massima va bene anche vorrei conoscere cortesemente i dettagli nel senso di cosa si occupa il vostro sito, perchè c'è interesse per questo progetto, dove apparirà l'intervista e come ecc. Fammi sapere i tuoi estremi a partire dal nome e poi ci metteremo in contatto via skype Buona giornataHelveticus montanus (disputatio) 05:11, 30 Ianuarii 2013 (UTC)

Hai ragione, ti spiego meglio. Vice è una rivista che nasce in Canada ma che ha edizioni in altre lingue. Esce sia su carta (una volta al mese) che online (aggiornato continuamente con nuovi articoli). Gli argomenti che tratta sono disparati ma possono rientrare nella categoria classica "costume e società". L'intervista che ho pensato è per l'edizione italiana ma essendo un network i responsabili possono tradurla in altre lingue per le altre edizioni. Mi è venuto in mente di intervistare qualcuno che curasse wikipedia in latino perchè mi sembra un progetto curioso. Leggo continuamente wikipedia e cambio spesso lingua alla voce che consulto, così mi sono accorto dell'edizione in latino. Ho cercato un po' di dati e sono rimasto sbalordito dal numero di voci e di utenti. Mi sembra un fatto curioso e allo stesso tempo nobile quello di gestire un'enciclopedia in una lingua che non è più parlata. Vorrei sapere cosa vi muove a contribuire al progetto; se siete dei latinisti, dei professori o dei semplici appassionati; come fate a tradurre le cose più moderne; etc. Ho pensato a domande di questo tipo, niente di troppo tecnico. Diciamo che è un'intervista a qualcuno che collabora attivamente con wikipedia, non ha qualcuno che sa tutto su wikipedia. Ma ti ripeto è una chiacchierata, se leggi gli articoli e le interviste pubblicate sull'edizione italiana di Vice ti accorgi che il tono è molto rilassato. Io mi chiamo Gabriele e il mio contatto skype è gabriele.carracoy Questa è la voce su Vice di wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_%28magazine%29

per te potrebbe andare bene durante la finesettimana? Ho skype solo a casa e in questi giorni sono oltretutto molto preso con il lavoro oppure stasera dopo le 21.00, ma in quest'ultimo caso più per conoscersi per una prima presa di contatto il mio indirizzo skype è massimo.macconi

Io stasera non posso però intanto ti aggiungo su skype. Il fine settimana per me va bene. Fammi sapere quando è più comodo per te, considera che l'intervista durerà al massimo mezz'ora.

domani sabato mattina attorno alle 9:00, ho cercato il contatto su skype ma non funziona

Per me domani mattina (sabato) alle 9:00 va bene. Ti ho aggiunto su skype, dovrebbe esserti arrivata una richiesta di contatto.

scusa non mi è arrivata nessuna richiesta su skype

Sei sicuro che il tuo contatto sia esattamente massimo.macconi? Perchè ce ne è uno simile che si chiama massimo.macconi47 ed è svizzero . Intanto se vuoi prova te ad aggiungermi il mio nome skype è gabriele.carracoy

si hai ragione è massimo.macconi47 scusa ma non uso molto skype, se spostassimo verso le 10:00 è un problema?

visto che non ho una tua risposta restiamo per le 9:00 potrei avere qualche minuto di ritardo mi avvisi quando ti stai collegando allo 0041794675781/0041799332500 scusami ma devo fare un lavoro urgente. Ciao a dopo 9:00 circa

dovrei farcela lascio l'ufficio e torno a casa dove ho skype installato--Helveticus montanus (disputatio) 07:52, 2 Februarii 2013 (UTC)

Sono davanti al PC ma non trovo il tuo contatto skype riprova tu con il mio che è quello che dici tu massimo.macconi47 grazie--Helveticus montanus (disputatio) 08:04, 2 Februarii 2013 (UTC)

Caro Gabriele ora esco 15 min. Tornerò e sarò a casa fin verso le 12:00, dopo di che sarò a Milano e quindi dovremo rinviare a domattina. Ciao

non sento più niente va beh sopra ai tutti gli estremi dove contttarmi aggiungo n° italiano mi pare (non lo uso spesso) 00.39.339.316.18.54. Ciao

Fatoumata Diawara

Ciao Max, tutto bene?

Per favore, mi daresti una rilettura veloce a questa nuova pagina che ho creato? È poca roba.... GRAZIE!!!

Wikidata

Hi, Massimo! I happened to notice that a couple of your recent pages (Armandus Trovajoli and Charrais) aren't properly linked on other Wikipedias. May I ask: have you added them to Wikidata yet? It's necessary to do this, just as it used to be necessary to add a link directly on another wikipedia. Luckily it's even quicker to do it than it used to be! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:17, 11 Martii 2013 (UTC)

OK, I'll explain. It's easier than the old system -- but different. This is what you do:

1. Save your new Latin page. No need to paste any interwiki links to it. Copy (into your computer memory) the title of the page.
2. Go back to the barbarian page you worked from (French, English, Italian ... it doesn't matter). Don't edit, but look at the list of interwiki links, and click the grey words "Edit links" or "Modifica links". That takes you to Wikidata. Wait a moment, till you see the Wikidata page, and the list of interwikis.
3. At the bottom of the list of interwikis, click "add".
4. In column 1, type "la" for Latin.
5. In column 2, paste in the title that you have in your memory. (Wikidata will check while you watch -- this is why you must save your new page and copy the title, step 1 above, before doing this.)
6. Click "save".

Try it -- it's really quick :) Tell me if this doesn't make sense! Have a good day, Massimo. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 08:55, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

I have understood but I do not believe it's quicker than it used to be. Before I have not to work on the barbarian page, all went automatically. However if I understand you correctly with the old way it doesn't work anymore, therefore I have no choice, or is there an alternative? Thank you again for your precious help--Helveticus montanus (disputatio) 09:54, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

It becomes quicker, I find ... I think it is necessary -- otherwise it might take a long time for bots to find our page. But perhaps others will have a different opinion. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 11:11, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

Changes are happening all around us, it seems, apparently without leaving a trace inter "Nuper mutata." Those wily bots have already found most of the articles I've just marked {{geometria-stipula}}. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 11:23, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

That's reassuring, certainly. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 11:30, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

The one I checked had indeed left a trace in the article's history on the 10th of the month, but no record that a change had happened appears in the appropriate time-slot in the "Nuper mutata." IacobusAmor (disputatio) 11:46, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

Odd ... As you know, I left a message about this on your talk page as well. I'd be very happy to be wrong! If the bots will do it all for us, that leaves more time for writing Latin. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 12:16, 12 Martii 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you two are wiser than I am and it's OK after all. No need to do anything hastily -- let's wait and see. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 11:25, 13 Martii 2013 (UTC)

Yes, sorry, it seems I had no need to worry about this. See my note at Disputatio Usoris:IacobusAmor. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 10:11, 25 Martii 2013 (UTC)

To answer your question, Massimo, I believe it still works very quickly (just as it always did) if we add a link to :la on one other Wikipedia (French, Italian, English, whatever we choose) and one link on our own new Latin page. Going to Wikidata is fine, but it is optional (and I agree, it always takes a bit longer). Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:03, 25 Martii 2013 (UTC)

New pope soon ...

As you have seen, Massimo, I have been updating and expanding some of your articles about cardinals, especially the ones who are Papabiles dicti. But they are still very short, of course. I wonder which one of us will be active on Vicipaedia when the news comes? Interesting ... Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 11:25, 13 Martii 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, Massimo. I marked these two pages "Non latine": as I'm sure you saw for yourself, the text of them makes no sense at all(probably Google translation?) I saw you had done some work on them.

Merchant ivory

Hello again, Massimo. If you are adding more pages about Merchant Ivory films, you can add to them two more categories that I have just created: Categoria:Pelliculae Merchant Ivory and (if Ruth Prawer Jhabvala wrote the screenplay) Categoria:Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. Happy editing! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:16, 7 Maii 2013 (UTC)

De novissimis

Thank you for adding news items, Massimo! I was away from my computer, and it was good to see that you have been refreshing Formula:Aliquidnovi and Formula:Nuntii regularly. But I took this one out:

• 19 Maii — Hungariae ministrum primum Victor Orbán dixit Germaniae ministram primam Angelam Merkel ut Adolphum Hitler agere, quia Victoris Orbán regimen acri iudicium percensuit ^{(Der Spiegel)}

because I think there must be something wrong. Who said this? If Victor Orban, he should be "minister primus", nominative; if Angela Merkel, she should be "ministra prima", nominative -- but they are both accusative. Also, is it "criticised with a sharp judgment"? If so, "acri/acerbo iudicio"? I wasn't really sure, so I took it out. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:37, 22 Maii 2013 (UTC)

John Cale

Hi, I noticed that you have created article about John Lee Hooker. Thank you for them. Should I request to you, you would want to create at least a short article for John Cale (en • de • fr) (founding member of The Velvet Underground)?

Greetings, Massimo. If you are creating more pages about small places in Croatia, you can give them the category Categoria:Loci habitati Croatiae which I have just created. There is also Categoria:Insulae Croatiae if you add any more islands. Have a good weekend! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:50, 29 Iunii 2013 (UTC)

Grazie mille per l'aiuto offertomi, ma in realtà è già da qualche mese che scrivo su Wikipedia, in latino e in italiano, senza essere registrato; se avrò bisogno di supporto conterò su di te! Gratias tibi ago, vale! Usor:Udine2812 (disputatio)

May I suggest ...?

Hi, Massimo. I have the impression the pages about Italian dioceses are yours -- is that right? I'm very glad you are doing them. May I suggest a couple of changes in your model? (1) No need to link to the Italian wikipedia in the text -- I know people sometimes do it, but we have agreed that it isn't necessary because there will be an interwiki link anyway, so I think it's a waste of your time (2) You can always add a category for the city -- I think I have done this now for all existing pages; (3) you could move around the verbs a little bit. I suggest "... est sedes episcopalis", then remove the est later "... Catholicae Romanae est, in regione ...", and then add another "est" at "cuius caput est urbs ...". Is that OK, do you think? Have a good weekend -- Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 11:53, 6 Iulii 2013 (UTC)

Help!

Hello again, Massimo. I have added a couple of suggestions at Disputatio:Museum Artis - MdAO. I'm sure the contributor doesn't understand Latin. Could you add an explanation in Italian? I wanted to say: if he/she adds a long list of names of artists unknown to us, it's necessary to say something about them or about the painting in the gallery. Otherwise, people won't read it. Also, can he/she put an image on Commons (of the gallery, or of a painting) that we could use in the article? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:36, 25 Augusti 2013 (UTC)

Baden-Wurttemberg

Hi, Massimo. Looking through the new pages, I have just come to the first of your pages about "communia" in Baden-Wurttemberg. I think there are two problems with these pages.

One is that they have no incoming link (so they are all "pagina non annexa" at present). The way to solve this, I suppose, would be to create a list of "communia" (if that is the best word) in Baden-Wurttemberg, like you have made lists of communes in each French department. Without incoming links, they are really non-stipula.

The other problem is that you didn't make a category for these pages. One series, from Abstatt to Bärenthal, are just in the category Categoria:Badenia-Virtembergia with nothing to indicate that they are "Urbes" or "Loci habitati" or "Communia" or whatever. Then there is another, shorter, series, running from Abtsgmünd to Blaustein, which are in Categoria:Urbes Badeniae-Virtembergiae -- I don't know why the difference!

Somehow we need to sort this out, I think. Maybe Schulz-Hameln will have a suggestion for what the category name should be. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 15:04, 5 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

I think, we could create the category "communia Badeniae-Virtembergiae", to which all political communities belong. The big cities should be a subcategory of "communia". The incoming links could be created by pages about the "Landkreis" (district), to which the municipalities belong, like I did for Lower Saxony. (see for example Circulus Luneburgensis). These circuli could be connected with a formula and an index like Index circulorum et liberarum urbium Saxoniae Inferioris. Furthermore there is an index of the carplates of Germany Pagorum Germanicorum index notarum autocinetorum. So there would be no "orphans".--Schulz-Hameln (disputatio) 16:51, 6 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

Thanks to you, Schulz-Hameln, and to Massimo for the additions he has now made. As far as I'm concerned, no problem remains. Perhaps someone with a bot could run through the pages listed in Index Communium Badeniae-Virtembergiae, and, where those pages are currently in supercategory Categoria:Badenia-Virtembergia, move them to Categoria:Communia Badeniae-Virtembergiae. Is that possible? There are about 90 of them. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 08:45, 7 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

Done! --UV (disputatio) 21:40, 7 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

Hello again Massimo. Still looking through the new pages, I noticed four where you translated the German word "Schloss" as "oppidum" in picture captions. This doesn't usually work, I think. A Schloss is a castle, "castellum"; a Stadt is a town, "oppidum". I'm quite sure you know this really ... ! Greetings from Poitou -- Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 15:43, 11 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

I found a similar one among the French communes today -- at Noiron, where the picture of a château was captioned "oppidum". Do you think you may have done it often? Do we perhaps need to search for them somehow?

Hope you're OK, Massimo. I took a load of apples to the press yesterday and came back with 140 bottles of apple juice ... Now we have to drink it. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 12:06, 12 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

Iceland

I was also just looking at your pages for small towns in Iceland. I don't know where you found them -- but it wasn't a good list. Some are "communia" and some are not. Heimaey, for example, is a small town on an island, not a commune or a municipium. But don't worry about these :) There were only a few, so I have checked and corrected them, and listed them on the page Islandia to make an incoming link. It's probably a good idea to work from a proper list, and then to make the list itself into a Vicipaedia page, so that there will always be a link to each page. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 15:09, 5 Octobris 2013 (UTC)

Sede vacante

Hi, Massimo. I admire the way you continue to add news items -- and also places in France -- and in Germany -- and also biographies -- and more! I thought I would mention to you that I am travelling to Greece tomorrow, especially Thessalonica and Paros, so I will probably not add any news, or anything else, for the next two weeks. Maybe there will be more sunshine in Greece than there is here. All good wishes -- Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 18:20, 3 Novembris 2013 (UTC)

Politicorum periti > Politici

I noticed a few categories "Politicorum periti ..." in your latest biographies. You might like to remember that we finally changed all these to "Politici ...". Nice and short! Maybe you can change your models to match this new style. Best wishes, Massimo -- Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 19:05, 11 Decembris 2013 (UTC)

And there's another way you could change your models. Whenever you are writing a biography of an American, instead of adding the category for the state they come from (like Categoria:Pennsilvania) you can make it an "Incolae" category (like Categoria:Incolae Pennsilvaniae). After waiting for ages for some American or other to do it, I just went ahead and created all fifty of those categories a couple of years ago.

I'll be away from computers for the next few days, after tomorrow. I wonder whether we'll reach 100,000 in that time -- and whether the 100,000th page will be one of yours? We'll see ... Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:24, 13 Decembris 2013 (UTC)

We did reach 100,000! And it was one of yours! Well done, Massimo! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:50, 20 Decembris 2013 (UTC)

Can you help?

Greetings, Massimo. Sacreum made a bit of a mess today, and I have spent a little time mopping it up. I have blocked the account for one day, and I explained why at Disputatio Usoris:Sacreum, but I have the impression that Sacreum is not really very good at Latin. Could you perhaps add, on that same disputatio page, an explanation in Italian? I will tell you here what I intended to say, and then maybe you could add the Italian translation? Thank you very much for your help, Massimo! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 19:15, 26 Martii 2014 (UTC)

I blocked you because you were making systematic changes without discussion. The names you changed were Sanskrit, not Latin, and there is no reason to change the international transliteration of Sanskrit. I want to add that it is necessary to talk politely to other Vicipaedians, and especially if you want to make changes in their work.

I have read your disputatio page, and I see many comments from other Vicipaedians, with no reply from you. If you want to continue your work with us, you will need to talk to others. If you don't follow this advice, we could impose a longer block -- but I don't want to, because you have done really useful work on Italian geography.

Thank you again, Massimo. I am always amazed how you manage to find the time to add so much to Vicipaedia -- especially when you are so busy in what they call "the real world". As for me, yes, I'm OK. I will perhaps be busy soon: I have been elected to the municipal council of Sanctus Constantius. But it is a very small commune!

About the Disney films

Hello again, Massimo. Notice what I have written at Disputatio Usoris:195.67.67.130. If you are willing to go on helping with those pages, this is very good, but think about it -- there are so many, and they are so bad! The Latin is just copied from one to the next, and any new Latin is nonsense! You can add a comment on that talk page if you wish, and if you think I was wrong, please go ahead and unblock the address: no problem. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 12:28, 29 Aprilis 2014 (UTC)

Borloo et ego

I have been more interested in French politicians recently, therefore I was happy to see your new page for Ioannes Ludovicus Borloo. The reason for my interest is that, yes, I was elected. Hmm.

Orissa

I moved Odisha on again to Odisa. which is closer to the Indian (Hindi and Sanskrit) name. I hope that's OK with you, Massimo.

Hope this is useful

Massimo, it's really good to see you working with us again. I hope all is well with you. I want to mention an item that you often use in "Nexus externi", because it is not always really very useful: PND -- the German "National Library". I think I mentioned this to you before, long ago. It is simply a catalogue of recent books in German. Therefore, probably very useful to our readers if it is about a German subject, but not useful otherwise.

I mention this today because I noticed the page Maria Anna Fitzherbert. A very good page to have, but it has only the one PND link. That link only tells you about one relevant book, translated from English into German. That's not much use to Latin Vicipaedia readers. Normally, if I saw that link on a page about someone who is not German, I would delete it as not relevant -- but I haven't, because if I delete it, there's no source at all and the page is a "Non stipula"! Much better to cite a web page about her, or a book about her. I hope you don't mind me making this comment!

It's cold and wet here, Massimo. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:00, 29 Ianuarii 2015 (UTC)

I am adding some references to "Mrs Fitzherbert" myself now, so don't worry about i! I will tell you a story about that. I once had in my hands two very personal and painful letters (the original manuscripts) written by Mrs Fitzherbert to the Prince of Wales (George IV). I found them between the pages of a library copy of the book by Shane Leslie which I have now cited on that page. I can guess why they were there: someone before me went to see the letters, had this library book with him, was comparing the text, and left the letters inside the book!

So I found out where the collection of her letters was, and asked the archivists whether these were missing. They hadn't noticed. I wonder how often such things happen! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:22, 29 Ianuarii 2015 (UTC)

Good heavens, Massimo! How many more pages do you have already on your PC? Latin will soon be the biggest Wikipedia at this rate!! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:26, 29 Ianuarii 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your comment on my talk page, Massimo. I am glad you think these formulae are useful. There is more work to be done yet. I am sure you understand, my real aim (since there are only a few Vicipaedians!) is to save the time that is spent on infoboxes, so that there is more time to write pages. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 21:23, 15 Februarii 2015 (UTC)

Non stipulae

I'm very sorry, Massimo, but going through the new pages for 27th and 28th January I found a lot of your biographies that were "non stipula", mostly because there was no external source. Maybe these were old work? Sometimes there was a link but it was dead. There were also a lot of pages by other people during that period, sometimes very bad pages, so I was only able to correct a few -- I had no time to do more! I suggest, to save those pages, you need to take a little time to find an external source for each.

I am in a rush right now, otherwise I would do more to help. We are travelling to England tomorrow. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 16:18, 19 Februarii 2015 (UTC)

If I have time in the next few days I will look for sources for some of these pages myself, especially the botanists and academics. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:28, 20 Februarii 2015 (UTC)

Meanwhile Iacobus has marked quite a lot of my old pages "Non stipula". Touché! So I will spend some time rescuing some of my pages, and I may not have very much time for yours ... We'll see! Best wishes, Massimo Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:56, 22 Februarii 2015 (UTC)

I hadn't realized they were yours! I was merely using the random-page generator and marking problematic pages that turned up. As I said in Taberna, many of these should be saved; indeed, certain ones, like Lacus, would be necessary for any encyclopedia to have! In general, faulty or absent sourcing was the main observed issue. It was amazing to find pages from six or seven years ago that were nothing but one (short) sentence and hadn't been challenged. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 17:07, 22 Februarii 2015 (UTC)

Massimo, I want to suggest a thought to you. Is it a good idea to go on creating so many very short entries for French communes? Think about it: when you have finished, there will be 36,797 of them. Most of them have only one source. Most of them only have the French name, except a few hundred for which one of us (usually me or Leonellus or Thbdgrrd or Lesgles) has found the Latin name.

If that one link changes, or the source disappears, nearly all the pages will be non-stipula and threatened with deletion. It could soon happen, because French communes are certain to be merged whenever the government can make up its mind about anything. Afterwards, that official website will probably be redesigned to give information on the new, big communes, and the old ones will disappear from it because they are merely historical.

So, what I'm thinking is, maybe really it's a better idea to go back to some of our existing pages and improve them? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 10:10, 2 Martii 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Massimo. Since you ask me those questions on my talk page, I will try to answer them:

1. "why had all wikipedias used in the past (but also now) the pages on the French Communes to enhance their quantity of articles?" Because it is easy to do with a bot.
2. "are you sure that in the future with bots we could not add new external sources or change the pages of the no more existing communes?" No, I am not sure, and we do not know the future of French communes anyway -- president Hollande has not the faintest idea what he will do next -- but I think it would be very difficult for a bot to take these short articles about current communes and create good articles about the future subdivisions.
3. "if nobody adds new articles, how can we increase these Wikipedia?" We do it by improving older articles. I have worked on many, many of your old articles, about Popes and actors and scientists and Reformation figures and many other topics.
4. "I would do with pleasure other less dull and boring work" Then please, please, Massimo, help to improve some older articles. It is not quite so boring. The more you add, the better they look!

Massimo, I'm really sorry if my message upset you. I just wanted to suggest that you think about this question, but I don't want you to stop work here! Who will watch for vandals better than you? Who, better than you, will help to make those new pages, created by anonyms who know no Latin, into pages that are good for Vicipaedia? You do this really well, Massimo. Please don't stop! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 12:42, 2 Martii 2015 (UTC)

The random-page generator, given a chance (so to speak), will readily give us one of these communes. In general, they look like successful stubs to me (short though they be), and so I don't mark them "Non stipula," unless by a fluke or in error. (If they have more than 2000 characters, I even remove the stipula mark, because they look like more than stubs, having all the other requisite parts.) As historical facts, they deserve encyclopedic recognition, just as the English historical counties do. Of course they're small potatoes; I once thought Caychax, with twelve inhabitants, took the cake, but then an example with eight inhabitants turned up. The best way to improve one's Latin is probably to write articles on a variety of topics, but some contributors have other goals, and we shouldn't forget that they're also said (by the poet) to serve who only stand and wait. Maybe just before the communes are added, they could be googled for evidence so as to have an extra source or two. Otherwise these topics are beyond my ken, so I'll bow out and let you continue talking. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 13:27, 2 Martii 2015 (UTC)

I just found a handy, academic-looking biographical site on Brazilian politicians. I'm going to start on your Brazilian presidents, Massimo. It shouldn't take long. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 15:00, 2 Martii 2015 (UTC)

At least some of the commune pages do seem to have outdated links. For example, the link at Lasserre-de-Prouille ends up at the general census page, whereas it should go to the commune file. That is probably due to sloppy site management at INSEE, and it was easy enough for me to find, but technically one might argue that the page is now unsourced. A bot might be able to fix these.

We should eventually have pages on all towns of a certain size or rank. I doubt any readers are really using Vicipaedia as a source for French geography, but their existence helps to connect other articles. Note, however, that many large French towns still do not have articles, not to mention even larger cities across the world.

I would estimate that at least 80% of the French communes have Latin names, which can often be found in the various dictionnaires topographiques, e.g. [1]. Adding those is one way in which Vicipaedia can stand out from the other language editions.

But I think we all agree that editors here should do the work that they want to do! Lesgles (disputatio) 20:21, 2 Martii 2015 (UTC)

Dear Leagles I remarked the problem with INSEE and I'm correcting it slowly. The sense of my observations was exactly summed up by your last words "editors here should do the work that they want to do"--Helveticus montanus (disputatio) 21:17, 2 Martii 2015 (UTC)

My intuitive take on "non stipula" has been that, in practice, only preposterous "contributions" consisting of a few precipitate words exhibiting hideous Latinity and feeble Sachkenntnis deserve being marked with this formula. Therefore I'm a bit surprised at such a proliferation of "non stipula" tags. I think Massimo has done very great job in what he has been doing. To me, one of the charms of Vicipaedia has been that we editors, a bunch of great personalities, are allowed to enrich Vicipaedia in such a way and with such contributions that correspond to each one's interests and indoles. I'm not sure that the deletionist stance we're witnesssing now will bring with it such goodies as some of us may imagine. I'm all for good quality, but I'm by far more anxious about (and sometimes even ashamed of) the poor Latinity in some of our articles than about whether a given article has all the paraphernalia dictated by the formula. Neander (disputatio) 07:30, 3 Martii 2015 (UTC)

I fully agree with Neander. Should I make a choice I prefer a short but correct page in Latin without all the paraphernalia than longer pages written sometimes even with an automatic translator. In the first case actualy it's easy for each of us to ameliorate the page and - if it's the case - also the language. In the second case I personally seldom have time to correct them. I thank you Andrew to have given us the possibility to discuss this matterHelveticus montanus (disputatio) 09:13, 3 Martii 2015 (UTC)

It's a pleasure! I agree, too, that it is better to have good short pages than bad long ones. I like brevity, even Larousse-style brevity. Many pages on the English Wikipedia (and others) are much too long.

I raised this specific issue because I think we need to defend our work against the future, just a little bit. The pages about communes were an example, but I could have named the pages I have created about Categoria:Cenae and about books, also the pages both Massimo and I have created about paintings, also the pages about asteroids created by Robert's bot, etc. These pages are, potentially, a great strength of Vicipaedia -- but the weaker they are, the more likely they are to succumb to a deletionist stance in the future. We need to give them a good start in life! But there is so little time, I know, and we all do the work we want to do. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:46, 3 Martii 2015 (UTC)

I ought to have predicted this: whether as a result of my hasty words or not, you are working at Vicipaedia harder than ever! You really are making Vicipaedia grow, Massimo. You may have noticed, I also am adding material to some of those older articles of yours. Exagimus monumentum aere perennius (touch wood, as the English say).

Hi, Massimo,.

American comic actors

Hi, Massimo. I realise that we need to be much more careful with the new pages about American comic actors. The anonymous editor adding these pages knows no Latin at all. The place of birth is always wrong. They are all categorized as having committed suicide, but in fact they are alive. There are other errrors too. There is never any source except IMDb, which is not reliable. It is nice of you to edit the pages -- I have been doing it too -- but in fact we are making Vicipaedia worse! We must either spend more time checking each page, or else delete them. What do you think is best?

I notice they are being added to dozens of other Wikipedias at the same time. But this does not mean we must keep them. We need to be better than other Wikipedias, not bigger. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 08:56, 13 Iunii 2015 (UTC)

De histrionibus

Hi, Massimo. I wonder if you noticed the list of actors (mostly I think cinema actors) added by an anonymous editor to Actor. As Neander points out on the talk page, these partly duplicate the five lists you have created at "Index histrionum ... actricum ...". Also the forenames have not been translated into Latin.

I think myself the best thing will be to make sure the names in this new list are present in your existing lists, and then to delete the new list, replacing it with links to your existing lists. Do you agree? Would you care to work on this, or are you too busy?

I hope you have a very good Christmas, Massimo! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 13:24, 23 Decembris 2015 (UTC)

De iubilaeo Vicipaedianorum

Annum 2016 prosperum et felicem omnibus amicis Vicipaedianis opto! Apud Tabernam consentivimus annum 2016 (quem iubilaeum nostrum Helveticus nuncupavit) praecipue dedicare ad textum paginarum Vicipaedicarum augendum et meliorandum. Huic proposito consentiens (si tu consentis!) sic pro communi inceptu nostro agere potes:

• Quando paginas novas legibiles, fontibus munitas, et non brevissimas creare vis, crea! Ne timeas!
• Quandocumque paginam aut breviorem aut mendosam aut male confectam reperis, cura! corrige! auge!
• Si paginam novam brevissimam creare in mentem habes, recogita ... An potius textum longiorem scribere oportet? An prius aliam paginam, iam exstantem, augere potes?

Quo dicto, Vicipaediani liberi sumus. Paginae etiam breves, quae inter veras "stipulas" admitti possunt (vide formulam "Non stipula"), accepturae sunt sicut iam antea accipi solent. Scribe igitur sine metu, sicut iam scripsisti! ^[en] Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 18:35, 1 Ianuarii 2016 (UTC)

Ciao, caro, come stai?

Un piccolo favore: potresti rileggere l'aggiunta che ho inserito in questa pagina e vedere se è scritta correttamente? Io credo di no, sai, il mio Latino è molto maccheronico. Mi daresti una mano?

Grazie mille di tutto

It's very nice to see you back, Massimo. I had hoped to meet you while I was in Como last November, but I believe you were quite ill at that time. I hope things are better now. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 08:50, 30 Septembris 2019 (UTC)

Your feedback is needed - Improving the Content Translation tool

Hello Friend,

Apologies as this message is not in your native language.

The WMF language team is reaching out to you based on your position as an admin in the Latin Wikipedia. In particular, we want to learn about your experience, the issues you encounter with articles created with Content translation.

We appreciate the great work you are doing in Latin Wikipedia to ensure standard and quality articles are not compromised. However, it is a big task to encounter content that is not standard daily, and a difficult decision to delete them because they fall below standard.

Our observations

We noticed that articles created with the Content Translation tool in your wiki are deleted more frequently than in other Wikipedias. We say this because, from our statistics, 5360 articles were added to Latin Wikipedia in 2020. Out of the above figure, only 68 of them were translated using the Content Translation tool. 17 of the articles added with Content translation were deleted. Therefore, the tool's low usage and the deletion rate signals a problem or deficiencies peculiar to your Wikipedia. The Content Translation tool can increase content creation in your Wikipedia and is an excellent way to efficiently introduce newcomers to adding content and expand on existing ones.

Our request

So, we want you to participate in a survey. The survey will give us insight into how we can improve the tool to get quality articles and reduce the number of deletion, hence making your work easier.

Please follow this link to the Survey:

Take the Survey
To know how the information collected from the survey will be used, please read the Privacy Statement.

If you are not comfortable with taking the survey, that is fine. You can still provide us with feedback in this thread or via email on the following questions:

• What makes the articles created with content translation fall below standard in your Wikipedia?
• What are the common mistakes that editors that use content translation make?
• How do you think we can improve the  Content Translation tool that will help you with your work or make your task easier and reduce deletion of articles in Latin Wikipedia?

So please, feel free to give us feedback in any way that is most convenient for you.

Thank you so much, as we look forward to your response

Reminder: Your feedback is needed - Improving the Content Translation tool

Hello Friend!

The WMF Language team earlier reached out to you to participate in a survey to give us insight into improving the Content Translation tool to make your work as an admin easier. Towards improving the quality of content in your Wikipedia and avoiding the case of content deletion.

Again, we are reaching out to you as a reminder to Take the Survey as the survey will close on 9th July 2021 (23:59 UTC). The survey will only take you between 10 to 15 minutes. Please read the Privacy Statement to know how the information collected from the survey will be used.

If you already took the survey- thank you! You don't need to retake it.

Thank you, as we look forward to your response.

Ciaoooooo, come stai?

Quì sembra tutto immobile....

Ho appena aperto questa pagina e volevo chiederti, per favore, se il nome del paesino può essere lasciato così, perchè non lo trovo in Latino. Grazie mille per il tuo aiuto, a preto.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Inactivity policy

Hi, Massimo. I hope you're OK.

In accord with general Wikimedia security, we have to suspend admin rights for magistratus who have been inactive for a certain period: we have defined this period as 12 months. If you want to retain your admin rights without interruption, the simplest thing to do is to make an edit on Vicipaedia within one month from now (before 20 January 2023). If you don't do this, your admin tools will be suspended on that date.

You are always welcome to Vicipaedia, now and later. Your account remains active, and if after 20 January you want to take up your magistracy again, there's no formality: just ask (on my talk page for example, or on the Taberna) and your tools will be restored.

Have a happy holiday period and a good New Year! Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:31, 20 Decembris 2022 (UTC)
