The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your support

edit
 

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), you can also add others. 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, 13:20, 18 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Naming conventions

edit

Hello Samir! On May 1st, here, you wrote: There will be multiple naming convention proposals to review. Some will rely on Wikipedia, some will not. After reading that, I assumed there would be something other than Wikipedia-based conventions, and yet the current three conventions all center on Wikipedia. Could I ask why we were only given Wikipedia-based naming conventions to give feedback on, especially considering the community's prior vocal opposition to it? Thank you, Vermont (talk) 01:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your modification

edit

Hello Samir Elsharbaty,
Thanks for your addition. Would you be so kind as to make your correction, please?

  1. The News section is no longer chronological. It must be put in order.
  2. The files are to be included in the Resources tab.
  3. In the Timeline tab, Phase 2 section must be updated accordingly from the pdf Timeline.

Thanks in advance. —Eihel (talk) 18:26, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
