Hi Superzerocool, I could not approve your request for bot-stats for the lad.wikipedia because it was to badly done. Asking it on the tal page of a user on a other wiki is not good. Please do the following and I will be happy to grant it; Make bot-request page on LAD, ask permission, use YES / NO section, put an start and end date on it (1 week or so) and when he has local permission and make a new request on meta. --Walter 09:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

IEG Committee questions
editHi Superzerocool, thanks for adding yourself as a candidate for the IEG Committee! The committee has decided to ask candidates 2 questions so that we can get to know everyone a little better. I hope you won't mind coming back to the committee's meta page to answer these questions? Hope to see you there soon! Siko (WMF) (talk) 04:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to the IEG Committee
editHi Superzerocool,
Thanks for signing up to join the Individual Engagement Grants Committee! It is my pleasure to confirm your membership. We’ve got a lot to accomplish together, particularly during the next 3 months, and it will be awesome to have your help. Here is how to get started:
To make your membership official, please do 2 things by Tuesday 10 September:
- Introduce yourself in the IdeaLab.
- Send your email address and preferred username to IEGrantswikimedia.org, so that we can subscribe you to the committee mailing list and get you setup on the committee's internal wiki.
Then there are 3 first tasks for active committee members to start on right away:
- Review information in the Committee Workroom (your committee organizing hub on meta), including responsibilities and the review process.
- Join a working group.
- Start giving public feedback on open ideas, drafts and proposals. Asking questions to gather information you’ll need to make a recommendation helps prospective grantees think their projects all the way through, and will give us more great proposals to choose from.
Our formal review of proposals starts in early October. I’ll be posting information about scoring and selection of proposals on the committee mailing list and in the Workroom closer to that time, so please keep an eye there!
Thanks again for joining us to help make impactful IEGrants :) Siko (WMF) (talk) 23:52, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Translation request
editGreetings. I see you have experience translating pages here at Meta. If you are willing and able, Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group, is currently recruiting people to assist with page translations. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. --Another Believer (talk) 16:50, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you very, very much for your assistance. You can click on tabs at the top of the Wikimedia LGBT page to view other project pages, such as Activities, Business, History, Participants, or you can view Category:Wikimedia LGBT. You can see that many project pages are currently being translated into multiple languages, which is fantastic. Again, thank you for your help. --Another Believer (talk) 17:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

For being among the top 40 Meta-Wiki translators in 2013, with over 500 translation units edits! If I knew all the Wikimedia languages I'd also compliment you for how spot-on your translations are, but I must leave that to your language colleagues. :) Cheers, Nemo 21:49, 1 May 2014 (UTC) |
Translation request
editSuperzerocool, might you be willing to translate the main Wiki Loves Pride page at English Wikipedia into Spanish? Wikimedia LGBT is organizing a global campaign called Wiki Loves Pride, which will be held in June. I speak only English, but ideally, there will be similar project pages at Wikipedias of other languages. This will allow collaboration, discussion and the ability to organize events in languages other than English. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. --Another Believer (talk) 15:35, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Superzerocool. You can create the page at the Spanish equivalent of this page). For example, see the de.Wikipedia and fr.Wikipedia interwiki links, which direct to [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride this page and this page? I assume the page would be at es:Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride, or whatever "Wikipedia" and/or "Wiki Loves Pride" translates to in Spanish. --Another Believer (talk) 21:01, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Notice of removal of global bot status from one or various accounts of yours
editHello Superzerocool. You are being contacted as owner of one or more accounts flagged with global bot status. This is to inform you that pursuant §1.1.4 of the global bot policy as amended by this RFC one or various of the global bots which you operate are inactive in the terms laid out by the global bot policy. As such, global bot status from those account(s) have been removed. This message is being left on Meta-Wiki and on your homewiki. We thank you for your work as global bot operator. If you have any questions or concerns, you can raise them at the Stewards' Noticeboard on Meta-Wiki. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 23:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Future IdeaLab Campaigns results
editLast December, I invited you to help determine future ideaLab campaigns by submitting and voting on different possible topics. I'm happy to announce the results of your participation, and encourage you to review them and our next steps for implementing those campaigns this year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered time to participate and submit ideas.
With great thanks,
I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, Wikimedia Foundation. 23:56, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Global bot
edit- This message is being left on your talk page at Meta-Wiki and those of your home wiki(s). Sorry for the duplicates.
Dear global bot operator: Some days ago you received a message in which you were informed that one or various accounts you hold lost a global bot flag because of inactivity. Due to a mistake, messages informing about this were not sent before removal took place as policy mandates. As such, if you think your bot will be active again on global bot duties, you can request the restoration of the global bot flag on the stewards' noticeboard at Meta-Wiki within the next two (2) weeks after this message has been posted. Please note that this removal was purely procedural based on inactivity. If you have any questions, you can reach me on my talk page at Meta-Wiki. Please accept my apologies in advance for this. Best regards. -- MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of MarcoAurelio at 18:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Permiso de coordinador de traducción
editHola. Al final te he asignado yo mismo los permisos. Estoy enfadado, la verdad, pues esperaba que algún compañero lo hiciere y así evitar posibles conflictos de interés (por mi parte ninguno todo sea dicho), pero parece que nadie está dispuesto a hacer su trabajo. En fin, espero que estas nuevas herramientas te sean de utilidad. Como le digo a todo el mundo, por favor léete los manuales de uso de la herramienta y de formato de traducción. Si no los han vuelto a cambiar de sitio, estaban en mediawiki. Un abrazo y perdona la demora. —MarcoAurelio 12:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.
Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Project Grants committee's wiki
editHi,
I've created the Project Grants committee some months ago.
To continue to set up this wiki, we need a committee member to be bureaucrat. Responsibilities include to get an account on this wiki, then create accounts for fellow committee members.
As I've noticed you're active to comment grants requests, I'm asking you to do this. Could you reach me on IRC, so we can configure that together (my nickname is Dereckson)? --Dereckson (talk) 11:30, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello tech ambassador! This month has seen a good influx of new faces in this crew \o/ , so it is time to reactivate our conversations. Now that we have a pretty good coverage of so many different projects, here are some topics for your consideration.
- Are there further thoughts on the role itself? I hope the questions available on Meta can help spark them. Please weigh in at Talk:Tech/Ambassadors/List#Tech ambassadors, take 2.
- How about we try and organise future collective work in a Phabricator workboard? Talk:Tech/Ambassadors/List#A Phab workboard for us? has all the details to explore this proposal.
- Finally, you are also welcome to comment at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177923, should you happen to have suggestions for the Community Liaisons team, currently wondering how to measure "Wiki projects requesting beta features and other early deployments".
We hope to be able to host a live discussion in early 2018; until then, we're looking forward to hearing from you on Meta! All the best, --Elitre (WMF) (talk), on behalf of the Community Liaisons
Getting started on Phabricator
editGreetings, ambassador!
As recently discussed within this group, we are ready to experiment with setting up a project and its related workboard on Phabricator, the platform used in the Wikimedia movement for project management, software bug reporting and feature requests. It will help us coordinate and cooperate better on projects that should require ambassadors' involvement.
For the time being, I'm just asking that you please add your Phabricator nickname next to your name in the ambassadors' table (you can create an account now if you don't have one already). I will send you further information soon! Thanks for your patience as we get to the operational stage of this effort :) Best, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 14:51, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
New community space for IdeaLab on Connect
editHi folks. If you're receiving this message, you've contributed to IdeaLab or an Inspire Campaign this year. Thanks for participating to develop ideas and review ones from other Wikimedians.
We are preparing some changes to IdeaLab and Inspire Campaigns. One of these changes is a new community space on Connect, where Wikimedians can find each other based on common activities or skills, and ask questions about the space. You are invited to join this community space for IdeaLab, especially if you would ever consider needing to find contributors with certain skills (like design or project management) or would like to offer your skills to others in our movement. To join, please proceed to Connect/IdeaLab and click on the "Add yourself" button on the right. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 19:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.
If you're interested, consider joining the Inspire Campaign. I JethroBT (WMF) 17:14, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
BOT-Superzerocool en ca.wikinews
editHola, he visto en tu página de usuario de es.wikinews que ahora sólo estás activo en Meta y en es.wikipedia, por eso te contacto por aquí. La cuestión es que el bot lleva desde el 17 de noviembre sin actualizar la plantilla de ca.wikinews y sería genial si pudieras echarle un vistazo y corregir el problema para que el bot siguiera con su trabajo en nuestra wiki. Un saludo.--Syum90 (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Talk pages consultation - it is time to close the Phase 1!
editHello
You have volunteered to be a coordinator for the Talk pages consultation 2019. Thank you again!
Community summaries are due by Saturday, April 6, 2019. It is now time to close the conversations. We really thank everyone who has participated. Every opinion matters.
What is a community summary?
The goal of a community summary is to wrap up the discussions and provide a summary of what your participants said. That way, other communities can learn about your community's needs, concerns, and ideas. We have seen very different feedback on different wikis, and it is time to discover what everyone thinks!
Please include in that summary:
- every perspective or idea your community had, and
- how frequent each idea was; for example,
- how many users shared a given opinion
- whether an idea was more common among different types of contributors (newcomers, beginners, experienced editors...)
You can add as much detail as you want in that summary.
Please post it on the page for community summaries, using the most international English you have.
Can't the Wikimedia Foundation read all the feedback?
We are trying, but we really need your help. For most conversations, we have to use machine translation, which has limitations. This can help us find the most common needs or global ideas. Machine translation is useful, but it does not tell us how people are feeling or what makes your community unique.
Your community summary should be built from your community's perspective, experience and culture. You might also know of relevant discussions in other places, which we did not find (for example, perhaps someone left a note on your user talk page – it is okay to include that!). Your summary is extremely important to us.
What are the next steps?
Phase 2 will happen in April. We will analyze the individual feedback, your community summary, and some user testing. We hope to have a clear view of everyone's ideas and needs at the end of April.
Some ideas generated during phase 1 may be mutually exclusive. Some ideas might work better for some purposes or some kinds of users. During Phase 2, we'll all talk about which problems are more urgent, which projects are most closely aligned with the overall needs and goals of the movement, and which ideas we should focus on first.
Discussions about these ideas may be shaped and be moderated by the Wikimedia Foundation, guided by our decision criteria, listed on the project page.
How can I help now?
- Please provide the summary. :)
- While we study the feedback, we may ask you for more information.
- We will need your help for Phase 2 as well, probably to translate or publicize some future materials we may have.
If you have any questions or need some help, please ask.
Thank you again for your help, Trizek (WMF) 18:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your support
editHello. 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)
Talk pages consultation: Phase 2 starts!
editThe Wikimedia Foundation is currently conducting a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
Phase 1 of the consultation is over, thank you very much for your help on setting up that first phase. We've published the Phase 1 report. The report summarizes what we've learned, proposes a direction for the project, and asks specific questions to explore in Phase 2.
Very briefly, the proposed direction is that wikitext talk pages should be improved, and not replaced. We propose building a new design on top of talk pages that changes the page's default appearance, and offers key tools like replying, indenting and signing posts. To keep consistency with existing tools, the new design will be a default experience that existing users can opt out of. We also propose building features that experienced contributors want, including the ability to watchlist a single discussion, and the ability to move, archive and search for threads. Building these features may require some loss of flexibility, or small-to-medium changes in wikitext conventions. The goal is to only make changes that directly enable functionality that users really want.
You can see more information and discussion about the proposed direction in the Phase 1 report, including the results of new user tests and some of the quotations from Phase 1 discussions that led to this proposal.
Now it's time to start Phase 2!
We have six questions to discuss in Phase 2, asking for reactions to the proposed direction, and pros and cons for specific changes that we could make.
Can you help by hosting a discussion at your wiki? Here's what to do:
- First, sign up your group here.
- Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, a dedicated page, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group.
- Then start the conversation with the six questions listed in the Questions for Phase 2 section of the report.
- Inform your community about the Phase 2. We will display a banner on the wikis when some communities will have setup their local consultation places.
- When the conversation is concluded, please write a summary of the discussion on the Phase 2 community discussion summaries page, and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public. Community summaries for Phase 2 are due by June 15, 2019
You can read more about the overall process on MediaWiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.
Best, Trizek (WMF) 07:35, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Talk pages consultation Phase 2 update
editThe Phase 2 of the talk pages consultation has begun. Several communities have already signed-up. This email is sent to every Phase 1 coordinator to provide you some updates.
If you prefer not to participate to the phase 2 as a coordinator, no worries: you can ignore that message, and you will not receive any message from us for the phase 2. In the future, we will only send messages to people who've listed their names on the phase 2 page. You've been very helpful for the phase 1 and we still thank you for your help. Can you forward this message to other people who may help?
Create a group or have it ready
Some groups are ready, some other are still under construction and we still miss some languages or wikis. We invite you to sign-up your community page for the phase 2.
We have two tables: one for under construction pages, the other one for ready-to-go pages. Under construction pages should be listed: we can help you to built it if needed. Those pages have to list the questions we have and should provide a link to the Phase 1 report.
Pages that are ready to be used have to be moved to the "Confirmed participant groups" section to that we can add them to the banner.
Banner and advertizing
When a community page is ready, we will help you to have it known. We are going to display a banner with link to the consultation on your wiki. We need some help to translate that banner (it is very short). We will not display a banner without translation to your community.
Don't forget to add a link to the consultation to any page on your wiki where people can see the information. You can also invite other wikis in your language to participate to one global page (like for Russian language).
Don't forget to post the information about Phase 2 on social medias related to your wiki(s), and ping people who participated to the phase 1.
Phase 1 report
The Phase 1 report is ready and communities should be aware if it. Please invite people to read it!
If you have any question, please contact me !

The Research team could use your help
editHello. You are receiving this message because of your recent activity in the Translations namespace.
The Wikimedia Research team is developing a new algorithm that automatically recommends sections for editors to add to articles. Translations have already occurred for some of the few languages that we are testing in, except for Spanish and Russian. If you have some time in the next few days, please consider translating the short message (only 6 items) we aim to send out soon, in one or both of these languages. (And if you feel like you want to support your tester peers even more, you can do so by taking care of the related instructions page.)
Thank you! Jonathan Morgan & Diego Saez-Trumper, Wikimedia Foundation Research - 18:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hello. Reaching out to you as you're among the "tech ambassadors" for this language. Now that the translation work is over, we'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts about the recommendations this week, and also you spreading the word to other experienced editors willing to lend a hand! Thank you! Jonathan Morgan & Diego Saez-Trumper, Wikimedia Foundation Research --08:30, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk pages consultation: final report published
editHello
Over the past six months, a big consultation was hosted on various wikis about talk pages. You have helped us to host those conversations on your wiki, and we want to thank you about your help. Without your assistance, it would not have been possible to achieve it.
We are happy to inform you that the the Phase 2 report is now published. Like every community member, you are more than welcomed to write your thoughts about this report on the talk page, and watchlist the project page.
The publication is an important step: now we have a direction and the Editing team is going to work on the talk pages project. The next steps will be presented at Wikimania, on Saturday August 17, at 14:00 UTC. The session will be livrstreamed and recorded.
Thank you again for your help and assistance. The success of this consultation would not have been possible without you.

- We'd love to send you this badge as an actual sticker. If you want, you can use this Google Form to communicate your address so we can ship it to you. Note that we will close the form on October 13, 2019, and all data will be removed shortly afterwards. Details about this external site are provided at the top of the form.
- We also have this badge waiting for you on Wikimedia Space. You can use the form linked above to let us know what your username is on this brand new hub, so that you can get the award there as well. If you don't have an account yet, just go ahead and enjoy joining via Wikimedia login in just a few clicks. (And in case you hadn't heard yet, you can join the community of translators there as well).
Again, thanks for everything you are doing to make this movement a better (and multilingual!) place: please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions, and I hope to hear from you soon. --Elitre (WMF), 13:03, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
Un grazie e un libro sulla conoscenza libera per te
editGentile Superzerocool,
oggi ti scrivo a nome dell'associazione Wikimedia Italia per ringraziarti del tempo che hai dedicato ai progetti Wikimedia.
Come piccolo omaggio avremmo piacere di spedirti una copia (tutta in carta riciclata) del libro di Carlo Piana, Open source, software libero e altre libertà. Fornisci un recapito per ricevere una copia del libro.
Pochi giorni fa il mondo ha festeggiato la giornata dell'amore per il software libero, ma ogni giorno è buono per ricordare le garanzie delle licenze libere e le centinaia di migliaia di persone che si sono unite per costruire questo bene comune della conoscenza. Speriamo che questo libro ti sia utile per apprezzare quanto hai fatto e per trasmettere la passione della conoscenza libera a una persona a te vicina.
Se desideri una copia ma non puoi fornirci un indirizzo a cui spedirla, contatta la segreteria Wikimedia Italia e troviamo una soluzione insieme.
Grazie ancora e a presto,
Lorenzo Losa (msg) 14:50, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Wiki of functions and Abstract Wikipedia
editHi Superzerocool. I was wondering if you would be interested in helping to translate some content related to the Abstract Wikipedia project. In particular: this short message I plan to send next week; and the intro and first 2 sections (and optionally more!) at Abstract Wikipedia/Wiki of functions naming contest. As a multilingual user, I also hope you might be interested in watching the main project page, and participating more in that entire project in the future, if you're not already! Much thanks if you are able to help with this, and I hope you have a good weekend. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:29, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Community Wishlist Survey
editThanks for taking care for the invitation message! Is it possible for you to translate more messages about the Community Wishlist Survey? If you know other English-Spanish translators, you can also share this request with them. Gracias! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 01:25, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Notification about a grant request
editHi.
As someone who commented about my grant request (including the talk page) last year requesting funding to create the GlobalWatchlist extension, I thought you might want to know that I have requested another grant to continue development. You can see the new request at Grants:Project/DannyS712/Continued work on GlobalWatchlist extension - if you support this, I hope you'll consider endorsing the request.
My apologies if you were already aware of the new grant request (I sent a similar message to the subscribers of User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Updates - sorry for any duplicates).
Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
SeroBOT
editHola,
Escribía para comentar que el robot a veces falla. Cambié una cosa hace unas semanas porque estaba mal redactada y SeroBOT la ha revertido cuando no se ha escrito nada obsceno ni se ha eliminado un parrafo entero, ni nada por el estilo.
La edición era la siguiente (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcharocles_megalodon): [Resalto en negrita el cambio en la frase]
Texto actual: El megalodón o megalodonte (Carcharocles megalodon; del gr. μέγας megas ‘grande’, raíz megal-, y ὀδούς odoús ‘diente’, raíz odont-) es una especie extinta de tiburón que vivió hace entre 19,8 y 2,6 millones de años, aproximadamente, durante el Cenozoico...
La corrección (revertida por SeroBOT): El megalodón o megalodonte (Carcharocles megalodon; del gr. μέγας megas ‘grande’, raíz megal-, y ὀδούς odoús ‘diente’, raíz odont-) es una especie extinta de tiburón que vivió hace unos 19,8-2,6 millones de años, aproximadamente, durante el Cenozoico...
P.D. Lo que intento decir, es que hace entre no tiene sentido. Está mal redactado.
