Thanks

Thanks for your kindness and deep interest in Philippine photos; history and only history will judge these pictures which are framed in the corridors of Mystic Reality and human solitude; as a Philippine Regional Trial Court Judge, I chose instead to capture the deepest secrets of human wisdom in this lonely planet from the farthest villages, sitios and barrios of towns of provinces of Luzon ... if you have time, please visit the Philippines, it is so beautiful as evidenced by the photos that come from my spirit and heart; I respectfully remain very sincerely yours, and best regards -Judgefloro 13:56, 7 April 2018 (UTC) (talk)

Tech News: 2018-15

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [1]
  • You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [2]
  • The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [3]
  • Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [4]

Problems

  • The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [5]
  • For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [6]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
  • Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [7]

Meetings

  • Recurrent item You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Brief aan Dr. T. D. Yih van de Museum van Volkenkunde

Kongsi-munten en andere Indische kèpèngs (09 D. 04 M. 2018 A.)

Dr. T.D. Yih is een werknemer van de Museum van Volkenkunde te Rotterdam gespecialiseerd in het muntgeld van China en Indië, voornamelijk de kèpèng-munten van deze regio sinds de Borneanen, Javanen en Balinezen hun eigen kèpèngs gebaseerd op de Chinese kèpèng produceerde. Sinds de informatie over Indische kèpèngs momenteel op Wikimedia Commons zeer schaarst is lijkt het mij zeer wenselijk om de informatie over deze onderwerpen hier (meer) op Wikimedia Commons afbeeldingen van Javaanse en Borneaanse kèpèng-munten te plaatsen. Momenteel lijkt er op Wikimedia Commons een groot aantal afbeeldingen van Chinese kèpèngs te zijn, van Japanse kèpèngs is de informatie “zo goed als compleet” met alleen een paar zeldzame “missende kèpèng-munten” en van Viëtnamese kèpèngs en Koreaanse kèpèngs lijken er ook een redelijk aantal te zijn, van Javaanse kèpèngs en andere Indische kèpèngs zijn er zover ik weet alleen maar de Balinese godinnen-beelden gemaakt van Uang Kèpèng uit de Tropenmuseum. Voor deze reden hoop ik snel meer Indische kèpèngs aan Wikimedia Commons toe te voegen, maar zodra de OTRS-kaart van Dr. Luke Roberts is verwerkt kan ik al een redelijke beeld van Javaanse kèpèngs (op Wikimedia Commons) scheppen.


“Geachte Dr. Yih,

Mijn naam is Trung Quoc Don uit Hanoi, Viëtnam en ik ben een vrijwilliger voor Wikimedia Commons en verzamel afbeeldingen van Chinese en andere oosterse kèpèng-munten om voor educatieve doeleinden (zoals voor Wikipedia) te kunnen gebruiken, ik zag via Charm.du dat u gespecialiseerd bent in de munten van de Kongsi van Westelijk Borneo en Java zowel als de kèpèng-munten van de Mongoolse Yuan-Dynastie. Indien u geïnteresseerd bent om de kennis van deze culturen niet alleen makkelijker voor het publiek toegankelijker te maken maar ook voor toekomstige generaties wil preferenen kunt u wellicht uw afbeeldingen en informatie dat u over deze Indische munten heeft doneren aan Wikimedia Commons zodat anderen deze afbeeldingen kunnen gebruiken als leerzame illustraties.

Hoogachtend,
Dhr. Trung Quoc Don

I am pretty sure that there's a better way to push these types of notifications, such as creating a unique code identified with a user account that can only ve identified by the Wikimedia Foundation of something, I should probably write that down at the Phabricator or something... --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 02:29, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Letter to the owner of Banknote.ws (titled: Issue with the website)

"Dear administrator of Banknote.ws,

For some reason I get a 404 message whenever I attempt to visit some links like :

http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/FAN/FAN.htm

Is the website having issues?

Yours faithfully,
Trung Quoc Don (徵國單) Sent 📩 from my Microsoft Lumia 950 XL with Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile 📱."

Letter to Gary Ashkenazy (16 D. 04 M. 2018 A.)

This is a letter that I had sent to Gary Ashkenazy from the website Primaltrek / Primal Trek that mostly concerns itself with Chinese charms, as I have an interest in writing Wikipedia articles on ALL different types of Chinese numismatic charms but have little to no interest in collecting them myself in real life I asked Gary Ashkenazy to donate the images from Gary Ashkenazy's Primaltrek / Primal Trek by himself.

“Deae Gary Ashkenazy,

I hope to soon see you on Wikimedia Commons, I understand that you dislike the idea that your work will constantly be vandalised but the claim that Wikimedia Commons is constantly being vandalised is also greatly exaggerated. I personally patrol new pages and only very rarely find actual cases of vandalism happening.

Below is an example of how typical “vandalism” looks which is mostly just users adding nonsense, please see:

As you can see most vandals like this won't attempt to add hoaxes and/or other types of false information 🛈 so there really isn't any need to assume that misinformation about Chinese (numismatic) charms will be spread through Wikimedia Commons. Now I hope that you, Mr. Gary Ashkenazy will love 💘 this website and be happy 😊 with the Chinese Numismatic charms you can find here:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Chinese_numismatic_charms

Yours faithfully,
Donald Trung Quoc Don

As I believe in transparency I am sharing this off-wiki contact I have had that relates to Wikimedia Commons with Mr. Gary Ashkenazy from Gary Ashkenazy's Primaltrek / Primal Trek regarding me attempting to convince him to join the website, although he said that he tried to be a contributor some time ago he didn't feel motivated “for personal reasons” and I tried to convince him to join.
