Hi, Aphaia! I saw that you were the last one who changed the page MediaWiki:Boardvote_entry/de on that wiki last year. Since this year's votes are also going via the same page, it would be good to update the link for the candidates - pointing currently to 2007 - to this year's candidates. I left a message over there, but am not quite sure whether it will be read there or not. Regards, --Angela H. 17:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

:o /me huggles Angela H. I think that was the bug that was causing all of these problems we've been having with the interface... I've asked the current Election Committee to delete all the messages on that wiki that shouldn't be there. Thank you! :-) Cbrown1023 talk 21:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem, you're welcome. :-) --Angela H. 12:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

robots.txt 変更について

こんにちは。お知恵を拝借したく、お伺いいたしました。

Bugzilla に 日本語版ウィキペディア内部での議論に基づき robots.txt の変更が提出された際、Aphaiaさんから、他の日本語版ウィキプロジェクトの合意がないという異議がありました[1]。

（Bugzilla で発言された「Aphaia」さんとこちらのAphaiaさんは同一人だと認識しておりますが、もし誤解であれば、ご容赦ください。また、その場合は、その旨をご指摘いただければ幸いです。）

そこで、robots.txt 変更の合意形成に関して、二三、相談させてください。

一点目。おっしゃるとおり、robots.txt の変更は、日本語版ウィキペディア以外の日本語版ウィキプロジェクトに影響を与えるものだと私も理解しています。ただ、「利用者:」「利用者‐会話:」などに関してはともかく、「Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼」などに関してはたしかに技術上は全ての日本語版ウィキプロジェクトに影響を及ぼすものの、実際上は日本語版ウィキペディア以外の日本語版ウィキプロジェクトに影響をほとんど及ぼさないものと考えています。「利用者:」「利用者‐会話:」については日本語版ウィキプロジェクトの横断的な合意が必要なのだとしても、「Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼」のような「Wikipedia:」というプリフィクスが付くものについては日本語版ウィキペディア内部での合意で十分なのではないかと、私個人は考えています。この点について、Aphaiaさんはどのようにお考えになるでしょうか。

二点目。日本語版ウィキプロジェクトの横断的な合意を形成するとした場合、個々の日本語版ウィキプロジェクトの適切な場所で個別に合意を取っていくべきか、メタ・ウィキペディアMeta Wikimedia で一括して合意を形成するべきか。この点について、Aphaiaさんはどのようにお考えになるでしょうか。

三点目。もし、メタ・ウィキペディア Meta Wikimedia で一括して合意を形成するべきとした場合、もしくはそれでも許容できるとした場合、その適切なページはどこになるでしょうか。

以上、お知恵をお借りできれば幸いです。--Mizusumashi 04:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)--修正:05:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Mizusmashiさん。”メタ・ウィキペディア"と繰り返しておられますが、このサイトはそのような名前ではありません。Meta Wikimedia もしくは Meta といいます。どうぞご記憶ください。

その認識を改めていただけないうちは、正直、Mizusumashiさんとお話する意義を失礼ですが感じません。以上お返事。--Aphaia 05:04, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

申し訳ありません。ご指摘のとおり、「メタ・ウィキペディア」というのは単なる名称としても間違っており、またその示唆する機能からみても間違っておりました。このような誤りをおかしたことについては、Meta Wikimedia の機能について誤解していたわけではありませんが、やはり私がウィキペディアにとくに親しんでいたことからくる視野の狭さがあったかもしれません。この点を含め、謝罪いたします。

私の誤りによりご不快の念を抱かせてしまったとすれば恐縮ではありますが、やはりお知恵をお借りしたく、上記の各点についてご意見をお聞かせ願えれば幸いです。--Mizusumashi 05:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

週末他出しておりましたので、お返事遅くなりました。ご容赦ください。

さて、話し合いの場所ですが、プロジェクト間の話し合いである以上、メタか、またはメーリングリストのようなウィキ外のメディアで行うよりほかないのではないでしょうか。日本語プロジェクトの間の合意を取り付けるということと、個々のプロジェクト内での合意を取り付けるというのは別の作業で、後者を行う場合でも最終的な調整の場所はどこかに必要かと思います。

「Wikipedia:」というプリフィクスが付くものについては日本語版ウィキペディア内部での合意で十分というのは一見その通りですが、ns:4 の指定がどのような仕方で行われるかにもよります。ですので実装依存の話でもあり、いただいた情報だけでは意見を求められてもご返答いたしかねます。また私の意見は私個人の意見であり、そもそも、ここで私が意見をいうことに何か意味があるとは考えません。

お答えになりましたら幸いです。--Aphaia 10:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

お忙しい中、お返事、ありがとうございました。--Mizusumashi 13:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Poetlister/Cato

I was one of the people who researched Poetlister's sockfarm in 2007. Not sure whether the talk page or main page is appropriate for that level of involvement. Either way, thank you for your efforts. Durova 12:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure if it is related to 2007 issue. The edits and checkuser results we have recently concerned are as far as I know mostly dated 2008, and the oldest ones I reminded was back to early winter of 2007. I personally think maybe the old discussion is better to be kept away, since it is not relevant for most of us to argue if there was a sockfarm as of early 2007. The issue now is rather if the same user launched a new sock farm after 2007 banning and what was encompassed by this new farm. Regarding another talk page discussion, I think we are better to keep the discussion as narrow as possible to make it clear what is now to resolve immediately.--Aphaia 12:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

If that's your opinion then that's a sensible approach. Without attempting to point fingers--obviously there was more to this than anyone realized for a long time--I wanted to say something in the spirit of improving communication between wikis. Moving forward, let's think what we can do to avert similar problems from replaying. Durova 13:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your understanding. I agree with you: moving forward with enhancing cross wiki cooperation. Wisdom from the past and the other cases are welcome but reopening the past issue and ask for re-judging is another matter: at any rate they made the best decision at the given situation and the community supported it in each case? We needn't to go back to that point, while it would be useful for us all to find unfolded concerns in such past resolutions. As you noted, it is really an issue so I would like to keep being in a line first to handle the present issue, not revoking past grudges which may have better fora to resolve. --Aphaia 13:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedias challenges

Dear Aphaia,

I've read the interviewthat Mr Dirk Riehle did to you and I found it very interesting.

In the end of this interview you mentioned that many of the smaller wikipedias face similar challenges as bigger one (e.g. the Korean Wikipedia vs Japanese Wikipedia). What kind of challenges do you refer to?

Thanks! --Manuel SH 19:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, then I thought of such as: copyvio problem, NPOV dispute and other fierce confrontation in editing, communication problems (how to deal slow learning newbies, no collaborative editors etc), simple vandalism and so on ... shortly problems both in editing and in community management. I have friends who speak Korean and my words you mentioned was based on their observation. Cheers, --Aphaia 08:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikiquote

I am not a bad editor to Wikiquote. You are hurting my feelings greatly. Please be kind to me. --98.192.44.39 04:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I disagree. You didn't follow my warning and even removed it from your talk page. You didn't follow the policies and guidelines. You repeat copyvios when the others asked you to stop. You are no good editor in complying the US Law and policy project. You deserve what you get now in my humble opinion. --Aphaia 08:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, the reason I might've removed it was because I've read it and didn't want to keep it on there forever. I completely did not know that there were policies and guidelines of the US Law and policy project. I'm an extremely nice guy. Just please be nice to me and not hurt my feelings in the future. I can easily get upset, due to what I have of autism. --98.192.44.39 11:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

You didn't say you would follow the policy. There is no room for such people on the project. You said you read my warning message but your action showed you rejected: you restored your edits which had been removed due to copyright violation. It is ridiculous to hear you didn't know you should kept the law. Specially after once warned. You were warned but deliberately ignored it. It is no good reason to say then you were upset. Being upset is no reason to break the law and ignore the project policies.

I feel sorry to see you are so arrogant and selfish. There is no room for people who deliberately break laws and policies. --Aphaia 11:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, sorry. I just didn't know. As I've said, I'm extremely nice and do not mean any harm. Just please, treat me nicely. --98.192.44.39 17:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I replied you here. I think it is nice of myself. You harm the project: you vandalized and disrupted the other's trimming work and then ignored the warning against your vandalism. You can keep claiming to be nice but it is easy for you to say only in words. I have seen your action and so sorry disagree since you harm the project and disrupted the others' work to redeem your disruption. You said you are of autism, but it is not reason for me to allow you harm our project. Leaving you editing and thus harming the project is not nice at all even if it be nice for you. In other words I don't think of someone nice when he breaks the law and policy which he should be aware of (it is linked from everywhere), makes disruptions and nevertheless claims that people should be nice to him. It is not nice at all. Please realize you did harm the project and disrupt when people tried to get it back. It is not nice at all. Extremely not. Thanks for your understanding. --Aphaia 18:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I DO NOT vandalize and DO NOT disrupt. The user was not thinking clearly. He was assuming there was no video clip of the episode on the internet, even though there is now. --98.192.44.39 20:48, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

You say totally irrelevant things to the project mission. It should be trimmed and you disrupted. You added excessive quotes even after they were removed including by sysop hands. It is copyvio vandalism so you are a vandal. You said "He was assuming there was no video clip of the episode on the internet," but you are wrong in two points. I am a female and I reverted your edit because it was excessive in amount. "Internet video" is here totally out of topic. You are now trying to ignore you also reverted my edit which tried to enforce the policy, OK? It is far from being nice. Unless you admit you disrupted cleaning-up, you won't be allowed to be back to edit. --Aphaia 20:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I would like to be back to edit, but I DID NOT add all the episodes. Other users do. I just like helping out on the page and being useful. I DO NOT have in mind of vandalizing. Or perhaps I could leave it to the other users to add episodes sometimes. --98.192.44.39 21:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

You added the removed content, even after warned. It is sure vandalism. --Aphaia 08:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I was never warned even once. Socal gal at heart 21:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Socal gal at heart it was my confusion of you with the other editor. Sorry for that. But your revert was not welcome since you restored trimmed stuff which excesses our guideline. --Aphaia 08:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I still wish I had at least gotten a warning. I too have autism, so I can't understand subtle messages at all. Socal gal at heart 06:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

SUL

Hi! I saw that you are bureaucrat on en.wikiquote so I need little help from you about one problem. I tried to manage my global account (SUL) but I could not do that because I realized that there are other accounts with the same name on other wikimedia projects (http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=conquistador). All these accounts are inactive, except on the Portugese Wikipedia (en.wikiquote.org, es.wikipedia.org, fr.wikipedia.org, ja.wikipedia.org, nl.wikipedia.org, pl.wikipedia.org, pt.wikipedia.org, tr.wikipedia.org, zh.wikipedia.org). There is one account that was edited and filled with some data. That user has not edited his account since the 21st December 2005, the same day he opened his account. Furthermore, he has made only 5 edits in total. I opened my account on the Croatian Wikipedia on the 3rd May 2005 and I have made 1128 edits since then. According to Help:SUL I have the superior claim on this username, so I am asking you if you could help me in merging these accounts with mine, so I could have global account. Thanking you in advance. --Conquistador (talk) 01:10, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

日本語版ウィクショナリーの整備/見本/Template:Ja

Hello there Aphaia. In 2006, Pathoschild nominated this page for deletion. You opposed the nomination, saying that it had some historical importance to Japanese Wikimedians. However, what that significance was remained unexplained. I'd appreciate it if you could define why this page is historical and why it is of such great importance. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 13:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you explain it, please? —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 07:51, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Luhmann and Wikipedia

Dear Aphaia, I'm a student at the IT-University of Copenhagen and I'm writing my master thesis on Wikipedia in which I'm analyzing the community using Etienne Wenger's theories of communities of practice and Niklas Luhmann's theories of social systems.

In that relation I read Dirk Riehle's interview with you and others from 2006. In this interview you said that you would "welcome philosophical inquiries like an analysis of a Wikipedia community using Luhmann’s sociological or Gatali-Dureuses’ rhizome model."[2]

I vould be very pleased if you would elaborate on that statement.

Why do you think Luhmann is relevant to Wikipedia?

Is it because of the complexity of Wikipedia? Or the relatively loose ties between Wikipedia users?

One of the key points of both Luhmann's and Wenger's social theories is that people in social systems/communities of practice form informal groups that aren't necessarily explicitly defined anywhere.

Do informal group dynamics play a roll in the collaborative workings of Wikipedia?

Thank you very much.

My WMFACCOUNT request

Hi, perhaps you could explain your reasoning a bit more thoroughly for me to understand? As a sysop on six live projects, I'm fairly certain I can be trusted to edit a wiki, and personally I don't feel very inclined to start a new thread on the feedback noticeboard every time I notice a typographical error. If I go through and point out ten extremely specific errors, would you be willing to reconsider? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:02, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Julian,

I don't really think Aphaia is in a need to give a explanation why he/she didn't approve your account, it would be kind of strange if he/she change her mind if you point out ten errors, I'm pretty sure there where / are reason why they think you don't need a account that will probably not change if you point out a few errors.

名無し様へ

日本語版アンサイクロペディア利用者のOld-gamerです。12時間ほど前のご一報に6時間ほど前のご連絡、ともにアゴが外れんばかりに驚かせていただきました。いろいろと確認作業に時間がかかった結果、正式なお返事がこんな時間になってしまい申し訳なく思っております。
あわせて、遅ればせながらウィキマニア2010でのご発表、お疲れ様でした。

正直なところ、背中のいやな汗の感覚が消えません（笑）。とりあえず、書いた直後からウィキマニア関連のネタ、および、楽しい～については、日本語版ウィキペディアを題材にした各記事および日本の知の現実をちゃかす話としてはかなり上質の部類だと思っておりましたが、いかんせん、まさか世界会議の直前にそんな話をされるとは夢にも思っていませんでした。が、世界に向けて最初に発信したのは自分。自業自得と笑うしかありません。とりあえず、明日からウィキペディアに先駆けて今回の会議のスケジュールその他もろもろの記事内容を突っ込んでいきたいと思います。「適当」に。はい、思いっきり「適当に」。アンサイクロペディアですから。で、どうせ記事内容の訂正、会議の報告その他まったく動きやしないだろうウィキペディアを題材に記事の完成を急ごうかと思います。ついでに、本心から何を考えてるんだウィキメディア財団といわざるをえない、ウィキマニア2011の話題についても、世界に先駆けて色々と。わし、アンサイクロペディアンなんですけどね（苦笑）。61.214.46.150 14:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

これはご丁寧にありがとうございます。いやよく調べておられるなと感服しておりました。私は現地入りしてからいろいろ調べはじめた口で……でも夏のハイシーズンに5万円はないとおもうの（あるとしてもサーチャージなしの値段、AirChinaがexpedia.co.jpでサーチャージ込み9万円台、AirAsiaでクアラルンプール経由でもヘルシンキ周りより高いという話でした）。それはさておき、ええ、いろんな意見があるとおもいます。ハイファは不思議と議論になっていませんが＆開催地を決めるのもボランティアによる選考委員会なんですがそれはおいといて、ひとつだけ。ウィキマニア2005は実は日本語コンテンツがもっとも充実している（いた）んですが、ただ細部を更新するのがめんどいのでメインページからはたどれないようになっています。詳しくはグーグル大先生にご相談ください :D

ではでは。--Aphaia 09:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

アンサイクロペディアの闇から再び日の当たる場所にやってまいりました。とりあえず、灰になったらすいません。

今の心境を率直に語るならば、焚き火を楽しんでいたら、いつの間にか山を一つ丸焼けにしてしまい、森林管理所に呼び出されている、そんな気がします。うん、まさかこんな話になるとは&もしアンサイクロペディアが無関係だったらうれし･･･ないよなああ。ちなみに、現在、世界のアンサイクロペディアでは英語、スペイン語、ポルトガル語、中国語、韓国語で同様のバナーが存在しており、スペイン語版と中国語版では、あろうことかジミーさんがこちらに笑いかけております。英語版に関しては、さらにひどく、ジミー・ウェールズからのメッセージうんぬんと書いてあるくせに、実は単なる一利用者ページへのリンクという、実にひどいバナーが用意されています。しかも、ウィキペディアとは違い、何種類も画像を用意した状態で表示されるという素晴らしさ。･･･ああいうセンスは本当にうらやましいです。

というわけで、恐るべきウィキペディアの真実を知らされる前に一応絶叫を用意しときましょう。

「お母さん、まだ最高裁があるんだ！まだ最高裁があるんだ！」（今井正作「真昼の暗黒」ラストシーンより）。58.91.205.2 12:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

ただいまの心境は、こんな感じです(映画パピヨンより。4分23秒以降を参照)･･･この場面は、脱走不可能と言われた悪魔島の刑務所から一度脱走に成功するも、住民の通報で再度官憲に捕まった主人公パピヨンが、数年におよぶ重営倉から出されたシーンになります。その際、同じく脱獄して捕まったゲイの仲間の死を看取る場面がまさに現在の心境にピッタリです。･･･値段の変更って、けっこういいネタだったのに（泣）。とりあえず、涙を拭きながら真相が明かされてしまった箇所の手直しに入りたいと思います。あ、ちなみにコメントアウト箇所と実際の文章のバイト数の差異が大きいため、差分で内容を閲覧する熟練のアンサイクロペディアンの方々には、確実にばれてます。いや、まぁ、しゃあねっす。あわせて、貴重な情報をありがとうございます。一定期間を置いてから、楽しいウィキペディアか、もしくは何か別の記事にでも使用してみたいと思います。58.91.205.2 05:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

そこまでいわれちゃあしゃあねえなあ、新しい画像を投入してみましたよ。いや私がやったわけじゃないですけど。ええ。ところで太古の時代、Uncyclopediaのホスティングはウィキメディア財団がやっていたのはご存知でしたか？ --Aphaia 22:36, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

ご安心ください。アンサイクロペディアの歴史については、よーく知っております。実は、アンサイクロペディアのサーバーにトラブルが発生するか、もしくはメンテナンスに入ると、個人的にそういった知識が入ってくるようなシステムがすでに構築されているのです。いいか悪いかは･･･別にして。

というのも、アンサイクロペディアのサーバーに何かがあった際、ページが急激に重くなる→違うアドレスを試す→まだダメ→さらに繰り返す、というアンサイクロペディアの日常の光景において、実は最も効率的に作業を行える場所というのが、ウィキペディアの記事「アンサイクロペディア」だったりします。一体、これまで、どれぐらいお世話になったことやら。で、重いページにつながるまで記事を読むともなく読む→門前の小僧習わぬ歴史をなんとやら。内容が古いぞーとぼやきつつ。嫌な日常だ。その上、そんな話がまとまって、最終的にこのネタに結実したわけですから、ネタに生きる側としては覚えざるを得ません。うちわの話すぎるのに無視できないのも悲しい話です。

こんにちは

ラオ語ウィキペディアの投票ページから来ました。ああいう悪い冗談のような反対に負けず、ラオ語ウィキペディアが発展しますように、お祈り申し上げます。がんばってください。--Aphaia 18:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Aphaia様。励ましの言葉、心から感謝します。できるだけ多くのラオス人の賛同と協力を得て、このラオ語版を育ってて行きたいのですが、思うように協力が得られないでいます。インターネット事情や口承文化から抜け出せないでいるラオス人がまだたくさんいることが関係しているかも知れません。lo.wiktionary.orgのようなボットの積極な活用やラオスでの編集ボランティア・チームの編成とか、あらゆる可能性を考えたいと思っています。近く良いご報告をすることができればです。Tuinui 10:35, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

お返事ありがとうございます。ネット事情・適切なインプットメソッドの普及・識字率・書字文化のありかた、いろいろな事情がからんでむずかしいことと思いますが、ご健闘されているようで、頼もしく思います。

地域社会との協力については、ベンガル語版ウィキペディアの取り組みが面白いように思います。編集講座を開いたり、BBCのベンガル語放送に取り上げてもらったり、foundation-lにもいくつか報告が過去にありますが、直接 Wikimedia Bangladesh にお問い合わせされるのがよいかと思います。

またボランティアチームの編成を学校等と協力して行っていくということでは、Wikimedia Foundation の Head of Public Outreach である Frank さん(frank@wikimedia.org)にご相談されるのも一考かと思います。

インターネット事情や口承文化ということでは、アフリカで聞いた取り組みが同じような問題へ対処していました。地域のNGO団体と協力して、葉書を配り、ウィキペディアに載せたいことを書き送ってもらうというものです。またスワヒリ語ウィキペディアでしたか、地域へ出かけていって年配の方などから聞き取りをしたものを載せるということを行っていました。「出典の明示」等の原則との両立が難しいようにも思いますが、情報提供者とウェブへの投稿者が同じでなくてもよい、というのはよい着眼点であるように思います。

ご報告お待ちしています^^--Aphaia 11:24, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Request for undeletion

I would like to bring to your attention that I have just posted the following in the above mentioned section:

Any objection in having the same page in user space? Considering that was the decision of some other administrators concerning some pages that I started, undeleting the page could be a first step before moving it to user space. All this was referred to in the links of the first paragraph of my request. I could post the content to new subpage of my user space, but have chosen not to do it, to prevent that from being perceived as an act of disrespect or an attempt to circumvent an administrator's decision. If you feel comfortable with that, could you please carry the two steps consecutively? First, undeleting that page and next moving it into a new subpage of my user space. I hope I have been clear in my request and used the appropriate terminology, if not, please excuse my unfamiliarity and inexperience in dealing with these matters in English.

Sincerely,

Virgilio A. P. Machado

Requests for comment

I wonder if you could honor me with some advice. I have been "cleaning up" and closing the Requests for comment. I reviewed all the old requests up to those closed from 2008. Before proceeding to the more recent ones I want to be sure that my procedures are correct, and that there is no conflict with some decisions made elsewhere that put in place different practices.

TranslatePage extension

Hi there, Aphaia! It was nice meeting you in Gdansk :)

Look, I was talking to Siebrand about the Page translation feature of the Translate extension, and how it would be great to help translations here on meta. He said he already talked to you a bit about this, and you might remember the discussion panel we had at Wikimania regarding this. See also this thread on translatewiki. So, what do you think?

Cheers, Waldir 11:50, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from Turkey

Hello there, I could only find you to be more or less active in these last months who have once established a connection with the Turkish community. I am no administrator or bureucrat in the community; but would like to know what has happened to the Turkish team of translators and members here in Meta. Don't you need anyone from here to translate what you have here to Turkish? Could you write to me from my Turkish wiki page (link is in my personal page here) if you have read this. Best, Stultiwikia 16:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hope you're OK

Hi Aphaia, we met in Alexandria, Cologne (Wikitrain) and Gdansk, I hope you, your family and friends are OK, and so are the fellow Wikipedians in Japan! Warmest greetings from Cologne, --Elya 12:23, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Seconded. I've heard you're alright from a friend, so just hang in there please! Kylu 18:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi girls! Big hugs. Thank you for your concern. I'm fine, my family is fine. My friends, including most of Wikimedians in Japan are fine too, some of them are still looking for their families or friends though. We all are shocked facing big difficulties but I believe we overcome the situation with love, courage and knowledge we've struggled to disseminate freely for years. --Aphaia 13:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Relieved to hear that! Please feel free to contact us if we can do anything to support you. --Elya 08:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

With earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, and other threats in the wings, many people could survive Honshu, but only the Japanese could thrive there. I'm trying to persuade everyone I know to donate to one of the organizations helping with the rescue efforts and humanitarian missions there, with a little success. (Americans reading: Text 'REDCROSS' to 90999 to make a US$10 donation.)

I'm just glad to know you're safe, Aphaia. Kylu 14:22, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Translator, We need you!

Dear Aphaia,

You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.

Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.

If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.

Many Thanks

Interview at Wikimania 2011

Hello Aphaia,

My name is Matthew Roth and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at mroth@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page.

thank you,

Matthew Roth

JP honorific title policy / TH project requests

Hello Aphaia!

1. Could you please give me link(s) to those policy pages with a short summary? Please leave the like at my Thai Wikipedia talk page.
2. Please take a look at Steward requests/Permissions

Thank you very much. --Taweetham 18:58, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Taweetham, 't was nice to meet you, and sorry for my late response.

re 2: Sorry I might come back here too late so that I have no idea which particular request you mentioned. It might have been already archived. Could you please give me a more specific link?

re 1: It's no policy but a guideline (for differences, see English Wikipedia equivalent), http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MOS (Manual of Style), and its appendix-like another guideline. Your concern is referred as on the below (copied and pasted):

From ja:WP:MOS

人物・人名

詳細は「ja:Wikipedia:表記ガイド#人名」を参照

人物伝についてはWikipedia:スタイルマニュアル (人物伝)を参照

    * 敬称は原則として使用しません。事件・災害等の被害者や、「ある特定の集団からは○○と敬称をつけて呼ばれる」のような中立的な観点から敬称を記述するのは問題ありません。
    * 人名リストを作成する場合は、姓（ファミリーネーム）・名の順にリストします。表記は記事名にあわせます。

敬称は原則として使用しません - literal translation says "Honorific titles are not used in principle". I however don't recall any exception among living people bios at hand.

As said to you before, The ruling Emperor has the article of him under the name w/o any title, see ja:明仁 (Akihito is his given name - Japanese Imperial House has no surname, in Japan such is only needed for the subjects)

ja:Wikipedia:表記ガイド#人名 (Writing Guide#People names) is a bit longer, so I quote only the two principles.

    * 人名に肩書・敬称・学位・位階・勲などは付けないでください（Wikipedia:スタイルマニュアル#人物・人名によります）。

          例： サー・ウィンストン・チャーチル → ウィンストン・チャーチル

          o 皇族・王族などで付けることが慣習となっているものは例外とします。

                例： 後醍醐天皇

    * 故人において、人名の前に故を付けたり、人名の後に（故人）や（物故者）を付けたりしないでください。
 

"皇族・王族などで付けることが慣習となっているものは例外とします。" gives the case of exception: it says "Such as The royal family members, who is called with such (in context: their stati) in custom, are exception of this rule". In the Japanese Wikipedia convention, as far as I understand, it's applied only to historical figures, the example of the above, 後醍醐天皇, "Godaigo Tenno" was a medieval emperor and in Japanese current custom in most cases the past emperors are called with their status, "Emperor" and normally they are not styled as Whomsoever Majesty anymore.

I hope the above helps. Further questions will be welcome at ja:Wikipedia:Help_for_Non-Japanese_Speakers. Cheers,

IRC!

Hi Aphaia! I just wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for women and Wikipedia: #wikimedia-gendergap^connect - I hope you'll join us. (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! Missvain 21:24, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

ドイツ語 初級 - Audio-files?

Hallo Aphaia,

ich habe Dein Deutschbuch auf der Japanischen Wikibooks-Seite gesehen. Vielleicht wäre es sinnvoll auch Audiodateien zu verwenden. Mein Japanisch ist leider noch nicht gut genug, um die Hilfetexte der japanischen wikibooks-Seiten zu lesen. Deshalb weiß ich nicht, ob die Einbindung von Audiodaten überhaupt erwünscht ist. Wenn Du das sinnvoll findest, würde ich zu den deutschen Sprachbeispielen welche aufnehmen und auf commons hochladen. Viele Grüße --Ariser 17:39, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Hallo Ariser, entschuldige Dich fuer meiner spaeten Antworten: nun gibt mir persoenliches Problem von Gesundheit, besuche ich nicht so oft Meta als bevor. Natuerlich finde ich Deine Idee schoen! Es waere dir sehr nett zu solche Audio zuzusetzen und unsern Lesern vollhilflich. Hoffentlich hast du Interesse an diesem Projekt noch nicht verloren. Gruesse, --Aphaia 02:25, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Honored to be new member tonight! Hi!

Hello my name is Carla. I would love to help with editing English translations for USA. I am from northeast region Eastern Standard Time. I would also like to promote use of proper and regional English in current use without disrespectful words or profanity to avoid confusion and controversy. Example: a child translating important information to a parent whose primary language is not English (personal experience.) I also think proper grammar and punctuation are important, however I am also familiar with text language on mobile devices. To disregard this as some scholars in Boston area are doing now is leaving out a wealth of information (my personal opinion.) I an not associated with any company or brand except Google and want no financial gain ever. If I may be of any assistance especially in the area of promoting good values, correct information (NOT "debates") fun and fund-raising for this site please let me know. Thank you and I love the flower picture! Sincerely, Carlak.2011

Survey

Hi Aphaia!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Is it allowed in Wikipedia?

To keep in the pages of wiki Administrator's personnel thesis? at http://sd.wikipedia.org ? Other problem is We call Computer as same in English, but admin forcibly used his word Ganpukar of Computer. I have proof that thousands of published books called it Computer not Ganpukar. If some one oppose him he started abusive language. That is the reason sd.wikipedia.org never got attraction to Sindhi community. Plz check record there. Other things are he locked CSS due to that on the same site there are lot of font styles appeared there. He is not able to set commonCSS or Monocss. We are in trouble to work in our local Sindhi language. I don't know where to say for this problem. Record history says all the situation there. I appeal plz warn him to follow en.wikipedia.org rules, other wise he will continue use his personnel details and personnel promoted articles there. Dear I am sorry If u r not right person to say all about this, Plz suggest me where I can raise this issue. My sd.wikipedia.org ID is same. His thesis is not a violetion? http://sd.wikipedia.org/wiki/ماحولياتي_انتظام_ڪاڻ_اُپُگِرَهِي_عَڪس_ضماءُ_۽_درجه_بنديءَ_جي_طريقن_جو_اَڀياس

A barnstar for you!

This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 13:26, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Help with finding proper reference on the Japanese Wikipedia

Apology for removal of admin rights

Dear Aphaia,

I'm sorry for the abrupt removal of admin rights on this wiki, which wasn't announced in advance. We've been talking internally for a while about making the governance structure of this wiki more clear, i.e., decisions regarding content and practices in this wiki are ultimately up to WMF staff. There may be projects during which it makes sense to assign temporary adminship to volunteers, as well, but we wanted to start with a clear separation of roles and responsibilities.

I apologize, though, for the hasty implementation of this decision! I didn't intend to express any disrespect or distrust. On the contrary, I'm very grateful for all the work you and other volunteers have done on the Wikimedia Foundation wiki over the years, and I hope you won't be too discouraged by this experience. I'll be posting an update about the next steps for wikimediafoundation.org on the wikimedia-l mailing list soon.

Please do reach out to me if there's anything else I can do. Gyoung (talk) 04:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Your admin status

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on lawikiquote, where you are an administrator. Since that wiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Best regards, Rschen7754 19:44, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Superprotect status

Dear Aphaia, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.
