Translation request

Please, could you translate the following article?

Joseph Smith, Jr. (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, also known as Mormonism, and an important religious and political figure during the 1830s and 1840s. In 1827, Smith began to gather a religious following after announcing that an angel had shown him a set of golden plates describing a visit of Jesus to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. In 1830, Smith published what he said was a translation of these plates as the Book of Mormon, and the same year he organized the Church of Christ.

Thanks for your help.

Wikipedia Asian Month Updates

Hi Filipinayzd

Thanks you for joining the organizing team of Wikipedia Asian Month, here are a few updates.

1. If you or your colleagues haven't set up a local page for Wikipedia Asian Month yet, here is a sample page for you to translate it to your local Wikipedia without worrying designing. Make sure you also localize this template and this subpage.
2. If you already made the page, great job! Here are some changes on the sample page that you may also want to moderate your local page.
3. Please make sure you make a clear statement that article about which county will not count on the local event. Usually are the countries primarily speak this language. For example, Hindu Wikipedia shall not count articles about India. Local organizers have the final say on this issue.
4. Ask some Wikipedians to organize this event, and sign up to receive further updates at here.

Wikipedia Asian Month update

Hi Filipinayzd

After nearly three months of preparation, Wikipedia Asian Month will start in a few days. Here are some changes and action items that need to be done in the next few days before the event starts:

• As we discussed on meta, if the article is a list, it will not count. However, on the English Wikipedia, the rules have been changed so that a list that is promoted to a Featured List will be counted. Other Wikipedias that also have Featured Lists (BN, BA, FA, KO, HI, ID, JA, RU, UK, UR and ZH) are invited to consider and add this rule.
• There will be two CentralNotice banners used during the event. Please translate these into your language. It should take a maximum of 3 minutes. One is for Ongoing, another is for ending. It will generate huge impact!

  If you have any question regarding the banner in your language Wikipedia, free feel to leave a message on meta.

• Any Asian topic will be counted. Topics do not have to be about geopgraphy. You can make a clear statement so that participants understand this.
• For smaller communities, it is okay to reduce the standard from 3500 bytes and 300 words. I will suggest no lower than 2500 Bytes and 200 words. Please report this change on meta.
• I will make a short video demo about how to use the judging tool. This should be done no later than November 10. I would recommend organizers not start judging articles before that if you plan to use the judging tool.
• Ask some Wikipedians in your community to assist you if you are the only organizer. Tell them most work has already been done. There is only a little work for being an organizer from this point forward.
• For any questions or thought about Wikipedia Asian Month, you can leave a message here. I'm monitoring this page 12 hours everyday.

Check all submitted articles before 15th December, 2015, and send me a data set that includes: total number of submitted articles, number of qualified articles, total number of participants, and articles selected for DYK. For the few Wikipedias that allow article expansions, please also send me the number of new articles vs. improved articles. Use this page to submit results.
2. List all qualified organizers, up to five on each Wikipedia. Qualified organizers are ones who work actively; those who only have their name on the page or just made a few constructive edits for the event (less than, say, 5-10 edits) will not be counted. Due 20th December, 2015. Use this page to submit organizers.
3. List all qualified editors who can receive a postcard on here at meta. Also, please determine the Wikipedia Asian Ambassador of this year. For some Wikipedias, we are also honoring the second greatest contributor as an ambassador, as long as they have created at least 30 articles. Please talk with me about these potential additional Ambassadors. Due 25th December, 2015. Use this page to submit Ambassadors.
4. Create a local results page. A sample page will be provided soon. Due 30th December, 2015.

Tips and Extras:

1. Place {{WAM talk 2015}} on talk pages of qualified articles to record that it was created as a part of Wikipedia Asian Month. If your Wikipedia does not have an equivalent template, make one! See this talk page example to see the template in action.
2. Translate the message at this page. This message will be sent to all participants on your local Wikipedia to encourage their participation. Let me know when you finish the translation. For some Wikipedias that have fewer editors, you can send it by yourself.
3. If you haven't started to check articles, try to give at least one result to each participant to let them know their contribution are qualified, or why they do not qualify.
4. If you find out that some editors on your local Wikipedia are editing Asian Content but haven't sign up yet, send them a short invitation to ask them join. All edits made in November will be counted regardless of when the editor signed up.

Rules Clarification:

• Since it is hard for organizers to keep the checking process very quickly, and may cause some editors who submit five articles being told one of their article does not qualified after the end November. We will still send postcards to those who submit five articles but one of those does not qualified with a minor problem. Minor problems include:
  1. Needs a few words to reach 300 words.
  2. Has a less-important issue tag.
  3. Needs to count one or two edits in the end of October or beginning of December to be qualified.

Best Wishes,
Addis Wang

Wrap-up

Hi there!

We made it! The first edition of Wikipedia Asian Month has successfully ended! While your efforts are still needed since the wrap up stage is another big challenge for us. I understand everyone is busy in December, I will trying to cover everything we need in this message, hopefully can make this easier.
Guideline

1. Check all submitted articles before 15th December, 2015.
   1. When you do so, please make a category that includes all articles of WAM. My approach is using the {{WAM talk 2015}} on the talk page of all articles, and generate a category for talk page.
   2. If you already submitted result on this page, please take a look that I add another column for articles selected for DYK. It could take a while for DYK process, you can fill that column later.
   3. You don't need to provide bytes column since I'm looking for a easy way to not brother us too much.
   4. When you checking articles, if you ever find an article submitted about Bashkortostan, Russia, please list them out. Bashkortostan community would like to send a postcard to whoever create that article.
2. List all qualified organizers, up to five on each Wikipedia. Qualified organizers are ones who work actively; those who only have their name on the page or just made a few constructive edits for the event (less than, say, 5-10 edits) will not be counted. Due 20th December, 2015. Use this page to submit organizers.
3. As you submit the qualified participants on this page, please also use P, O and A to mark them so I can know how many postcards should they receive. P(Participant), O(Organizers), A(Ambassadors). Please review the page if you submitted already. This is due 25th December, 2015 as previously mentioned.
4. We will make a barnstar for whoever contribute to Wikipedia Asian Month, a user box for whoever accomplish the mission, and a ribbon bar for Ambassadors. It will be distribute after we have all qualified editors.
5. You can find me on Facebook as Addis Wang, easiest way to talk with me for any questions or need my assistance. Leaving a message on meta is another option.

Further Actions

1. You are welcome to submit an blog post draft for Wikimedia Blog at here about Wikipedia Asian Month in your local community, a specific story is more welcomed. I will help on that, and maybe integrate stories from different communities together to make a enough length articles. So don't hesitate to submit a short paragraph.
   1. A specific story about WAM. Like how some volunteers contribute in the event makes them special.
   2. A one sentence statement from you or participants about how you feel about Wikipedia Asian Month; why you like the event; what do you think we need to improve next year
   3. A short introduction about your community if it has not been introduced yet on Wikimedia Blog. Goals, current problems, why your community special etc.
2. Sorry for the rough pages on meta. I will make a more beautiful page for all organizers and Ambassadors to honor their great contribution for Wikipedia.
3. Next year: Many communities show their interest to hold this event again next year. We want to plan it in advance. If you represent a Wikimedia affiliate in Asia, please considering to include around 100 U.S. dollars in your annual grant application or similar. So Wikipedians around world can have a taste on your country or region next year! A mail list will be set up and inform you in next update. We will definitely make this event easier to participant next year, and improve our tool to give a better experience for both organizers and participants.

My Best Wishes and appreciation,
Addis Wang

Admin action

Hi Filipinayzd! Could you review Special:ListFiles? Several files have no license and so violate the wmf:Licensing policy. Also it would be nice to have all free files in Commons, so that other Wikipedias can use them too. Some other Filipino Wikipedias, e.g. warwiki and cebwiki have transferred all free files to Commons. Maybe bclwiki can join them and improve interwiki collaboration.

Temporary permissions expired

Hello. I've removed your sysop permissions. According to our logs you were granted temporary adminship for six months on May 2009 but for unknown reasons they forgot to remove the permissions when they expired. Please let me know if I missed a discussion or decission on Meta-Wiki which gave you permanent administrator status here and I'll restore the permissions. So far, I couldn't find any. Sorry for the inconvenience. MarcoAurelio (olay) 11:52, 20 Enero 2018 (UTC)

Note

Hi Filipinayzd, I will try to explain the situation, Helder is not an administrator of another project, we are Global Administrators and we can act in all projects that do not have at least three active administrators, as is the case in this Wikipedia (please see [1]). We never trying to overpower a local admin. because our scope is to help doing administrative edits, and we have a permission to unblock oneself (unblockself) as mentioned in the link above.

As Helder mentioned above that for now it will no longer delete the images I believe the problem is solved. You and Ringer are collaborating in a great way with the project, please continue like this. Sincerely DARIO SEVERI (olay) 09:13, 25 Enero 2018 (UTC)

As if overruling was not enough. The timing of the removal of my adminship and this certain Holder's being blocked in Bikol Wikipedia is very telling that he abused his authority. -Filipinayzd (olay) 13:27, 25 Enero 2018 (UTC)

I am not reapplying over and over agaib for a temporary adminship as I have discussed avout a decade ago in Meta. Better propose for the closure of this wiki. -Filipinayzd (olay) 13:30, 25 Enero 2018 (UTC)

Hi Filipinayzd, I understand your frustration at having to always ask to renew the status of administrator, but I will quote you my example, even though I am an administrator on Wikipedia (pt) and having more than 80,000 editions as an editor plus 20,000 administrative actions I have to always renew the my administrator status on Wikinews and Wikivoyage because they are considered "small" Wikipedias. Meta give only temporary admin. in "small" Wikipedias. The Bikol Sentral Wikipedia has more than 7.000 articles, they do not close one like this one, there are probably one hundred wikipedias smaller that this one. I hope I have helped explain. Best regards. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 14:03, 25 Enero 2018 (UTC)

Help

Hi Filipinayzd ...

I'm trying to find in Commons a solution for the images that are to be deleted, they are here (see [2]), I'm afraid someone else will come and erase them, in any case I saved them on my computer we can recreate them later ... this is one solution ... to create them with a new name by adding the license.

I was asked if it was discussed in this Wikipedia the decision to transfer the image to Common ... as you are one of the most active editors I need your help in answering this question. Depending on your answer maybe I have the solution to this problem. Best regards. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 05:16, 3 Marso 2018 (UTC)

Hi Filipinayzd and DARIO SEVERI and Holder:

I am trying to transfer all the pictures into Commons but they take time. Many of these pictures are just not properly uploaded with the right license. Can anyone please retrieve back the picture (painting) of Mariano Arana? His relative Ex-Judge Bartilet has expressly given me permission to upload it, and this painting dates back to 1900. Ringer (olay) 23:57, 9 Marso 2018 (UTC)

Bikol Wikipedia needs an admin that understands the language

Greetings Filipinayzd, sorry to bother you, but Bikol Wikipedia is in need of an admin that understands the language, will you reconsider applying for temp adminship, you will be doing a great service for the community. This was screwed up, but I think temp admin is better for the community than no admins at all. I hope you will reconsider.--Lam-ang (olay) 17:16, 27 Abril 2018 (UTC)

- there is no admin in BCL wiki, thats a good idea if we put a temp. Admin. Since there is no admin here. ShiminUfesoj (olay) 17:31, 27 Abril 2018 (UTC)

This project used to have an admin which was immediately removed by a global admin after the former stopped the later from deleting important files locally uploaded by the community back when there was still no centralized uploading via Commons. Let the powerful global admins take over and do their job in cleaning up "small wikipedias". Applying for temporary adminship is just like licking their asses. Thank you for your concern @Lam-ang. --Filipinayzd (olay) 18:49, 28 Abril 2018 (UTC)

It was worth a try to convince you, but eventually the decision is all yours. Just to clear things up, global admins/sysops cannot change local user rights, it was a steward who changed you user rights.--Lam-ang (olay) 07:21, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate your effort and understand that there is a need for a local admin in this project. The community gets to decide who they want to nominate and support. -Filipinayzd (olay) 09:11, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

Good that you brought out this important matter, Lam-ang but I brought this problem to DARIO SEVERI, a global sysop but honestly I don't know which forum to go to, to endorse him as admin (again) to bcl wiki. I learned several local editors should push for his endorsement. Well, perhaps FroyAgta and ShiminUfesoj can join me in endorsing Filipinayzd not only as temporary admin but as one of two permanent admins in our local project? Ringer (olay) 19:09, 28 Abril 2018 (UTC)

I guess, this is the page you are looking for @Ringer. --Filipinayzd (olay) 19:27, 28 Abril 2018 (UTC)

@Ringer - a user must want to be an admin no endorsing and canvassing for votes, anyone here in this community can request for adminship, make your announcement at Olay sa Wikipedia:Portal kan Komunidad and let it run for two weeks so users have a chance to comment, once completed follow the instructions at m:Steward requests/Permissions and wait for approval.--Lam-ang (olay) 07:21, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ringer + Lam-ang + ShiminUfesoj the best person to be an administrator here is Filipinayzd and I would appreciate if he accept being on. Global admins are not powerful, they are chosen to help the small Wikipedias in erasing vandalism or pages that do not comply with the rules of the Wikipedia Foundation and block vandals, only that. I support Filipinayzd to be a sysop here. What needs to be done it is someone proposes him to be a sysop, other editors give their opinions and after a week the discussion is taken to the Meta (here ) .... but he must accept to be one. You can open the discussion in this page. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 14:12, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

An example may be this here [3]. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 14:26, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

I support on what @He said, but i dont know if Filipinayzd can do it his obligation by his own. Its better to have two or more admin than one. Thats a suggest only.

ShiminUfesoj (olay) 15:29, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

Hi ShiminUfesoj, I agree with you ... the editor in this Wikipedia need also choose another one. Two is better than one. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 17:42, 29 Abril 2018 (UTC)

We need more than just one admin and I totally agree with that. -Filipinayzd (olay) 07:34, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

I was an admin already until a global sysop call the attention of somebody to remove my rights. Asking me if me to agree first that I want to be an admin is preposterous. Seriously? I was removed as an admin (temporary admin for the many years) because I was just doing my job as a local admin, trying to stop a global admin from messing with our project. Restore my admin rights and let's add one or two more local admins. We do not have to worry if this project does not have a local admin since the global admins will be the ones in charge anyways. -Filipinayzd (olay) 08:20, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

Seriously Filipinayzd? Ranting then demanding your admin rights to be restored is not how the process goes, you keep this up and no sane steward will ever hand you back those admin tools, now I'm starting to regret I ever brought this back up...I thought you were cooler headed than this.--Lam-ang (olay) 14:38, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

I am not demanding. I just want to point out what he did and offering me to be an admin without him acknowledging the damage he created in this "small Wikipedia" is bribery. I support @Ringer and @ShiminUfesoj to be admins. -Filipinayzd (olay) 09:32, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

I dont know why did he/she remove your right as an admin.. But past is past, we cant restore it, I agree with you to all one or more local admins here. If we put two admin.. Who will be the one to position as an admin?

ShiminUfesoj (olay) 08:47, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

I support ShiminUfesoj and Ringer, as well as the restoration of my adminship. -Filipinayzd (olay) 09:47, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

It has been quite a time our local project has no admin and I would propose Filipinayzd be accepted as admin (and who formalize the appointment? -sorry, I am totally clueless on this)), and, if it would be best for everybody in and outside of the Community, I nominate myself as the 2nd admin. Perhaps my active involvement in this project since 2008 will be a great advantage. But my weakness in the technical side may be a handicap, I dunno. Ringer (olay) 15:30, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ringer, its okay for myself to become you as a one of the local admins in bcl wiki, Both of you have a great contribution to enrich our beloved wiki and also our language.. Its a great help.. ☺

Im a newbie here , Im also totally clueless on this so im just accept what will the result of this . ShiminUfesoj (olay) 16:19, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

It is about time to have 3 admins who will keep the project vandalism-free. --Filipinayzd (olay) 16:21, 30 Abril 2018 (UTC)

Much better, if we have three admins. I want to nominate myself as admin, but I dont know if Im qualified to be an Admi.. :( ShiminUfesoj (olay) 05:55, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

I withdraw my initial support to Filipinayzd because he does not seem to know some of the basic rules of the project. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 07:09, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

• If he disagreed that the pages (image) that were in the category to be eliminated were deleted, ... he should have removed the note of "delete" and explaining the reason for being against the elimination and not block a Global admins. that has eliminated them.

1. Deletism is one of the causes of decline of contributions at least in Wikipedia. Teaching newbies or anyone who seems does not know much about Wikipedia like the veterans do is a taboo. What happened to Good Faith. -Filipinayzd (olay) 10:48, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

• He does not seem to understand that to get the admin tool back, which has been removed because it was temporary, he needs to make a new request. Criticizing Steward is not the solution.

The timing of the removal of temporary adminship is very telling. --Filipinayzd (olay) 10:48, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

• As a former Sysop he should be happy if anyone appears in this project to eliminate vandalism and block vandals. He is simply criticizing Global admins for collaborating on this project (... "Let the powerful global admins take over and do their job in cleaning up "small wikipedias". Applying for temporary adminship is just like licking their asses" ... see [4]).

The files contributed way back before Upload wizard was introduced were being deleted. Those are not vandalisms. -Filipinayzd (olay) 10:48, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

I am mentioning later vandalism that I deleted and not the one you mention above, please do not mix things. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 17:43, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

ShiminUfesoj, any editor in this Wikipedia can ask for be an admins, and if he/she has the support of other editors he/she will be an administrator. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 08:44, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

I know it, but I will change my mind if, he cant change his thought.,.

It is clear then that there is no acknowledgement at least in your part on the effect of your actions. The local Community can nominate whoever it wants to nominate as administrators. Ringer and ShiminUfesoj humbly admitted their lack of knowledge on how to function as administrators nevertheless I support them. If you are now contradicting your statement regarding who you think is the best contributor to be an admin here, I am not surprised anymore. Global admins know better than local contributors so if you think you can manage "small Wikipedias" better then so be it. As for me, we need 3 local administrators to manage the project well and of course so global admins can now focus in other projects. --Filipinayzd (olay) 09:23, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

Sorry Filipinayzd you wrote above ... "It is clear then that there is no acknowledgement at least in your part on the effect of your actions." ... Filipinayzd, you mention this is completely without sense.

You also mention that I think that ..."Global admins know better than local contributors so if you think you can manage "small Wikipedias" better then so be it."... This is the opposite of what I think. Global Sysops have always favored the existence of local administrators and I have always supported editors who have become interested in being administrators. You are simply trying to win sympathies by mentioning wrong things and this shows that you are not prepared to be a sysop here.

I agree that this Wikipedia should have more than one administrator, two or three it is perfect. I support Ringer and ShiminUfesoj, administrators should be humble and you, Filipinayzd, do not have this quality. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 17:43, 1 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

We can argue until doomsday Dario. I am not here to gain sympathy as you want to gain mine when you wanted to "endorse" me conditionally. Your action was disruptive and counterproductive. Well done. -Filipinayzd (olay) 00:54, 2 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

chill guys we are collaborators here, for me If what the result is the result. BCL wiki need an admin to enrich her language, so chill. ShiminUfesoj (olay) 06:19, 2 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

Hi DARIO,Filipinayzd and Ringer, we need to decide who will position to be admin, I have notice, there are some vandalism, look NBA on CBS, NHL on ABS and also the article about Indya, the two first mention, the article written in English and the last one, the article contained tagalog words.

ShiminUfesoj (olay) 05:30, 5 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

Kategorya: Tolos-tolos na mga pagparà

I am informing you that several Infoboxes (templates) created by you have been sent for deletion because they are currently outdated (see [5]). They will be eliminated if you do not demonstrate that they are still useful. DARIO SEVERI (olay) 06:00, 3 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

These are useful although outdated. Would you be so kind to update them instead of deleting everything. Wikipedia is the biggest work in progress. Everything goes outdated every minute. Be the solution, do not create more problems. No to #deletism. --Filipinayzd (olay) 08:07, 3 Mayo 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to Organize Wiki Loves Love 2019

Wiki Loves Love (WLL) is an International photography competition of Wikimedia Commons to subject love testimonials happening in the month of February 2019.

The primary goal of the competition is to document love testimonials through human cultural diversity such as monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture, and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love; to illustrate articles in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. February is around the corner and Wiki Loves Love team invites you to organize and promote WLL19 in your country and join hands with us to celebrate love and document it on Wikimedia Commons. The theme of 2019 is Festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of love.

To organize Wiki Loves Love in your region, sign up at WLL Organizers page. You can also simply support and spread love by helping us translate the commons page in your local language which is open for translation.

The contest starts runs from 1-28 February 2019. Independent from if there is a local contest organised in your country, you can help by making the photo contest Wiki Loves Love more accessible and available to more people in the world by translating the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. See for an overview of templates/pages to be translated at our Translations page.

Imagine...The sum of all love!

ShiminUfesoj

Hi Filipinayzd ... Stewards are not concerned about whether or not this Wikipedia has Sysops, but as an editor, not as a Global sysop, I believe that ShiminUfesoj's effort on this project deserves to be one [6], just as I think others should apply too. Best regards DARIO SEVERI (olay) 05:00, 24 Agosto 2019 (UTC)

Apparently there are 2 temporary admins in Bikol Wikipedia. Who is the other one? --Filipinayzd (olay) 05:05, 24 Agosto 2019 (UTC)

Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2024 Writing Competition

Please help translate to your language

Dear Filipinayzd,

Hope you are doing well, Wishing you a Happy New Year!.

We extend a heartfelt invitation to you to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition, which is scheduled to take place from February 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024. This year's edition of Feminism and Folklore will concentrate on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics, aligning with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and featuring a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

This year we have created two new Tools for the Feminism and Folklore project. The tool is called Campwiz. This tool is created by the international Tech team of Wiki Loves Folkore especially crafted for Feminism and Folklore project. The tool works as same as fountain or dashboard but has extra abilities required for jury and submission of articles.

To create a new campaign on Campwiz, organizers to follow these steps:

1. Go to the tool link: https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/
2. Select your wiki on which you want to organize the campaign (enter the name or short code, such as "bcl" for Bikol Central Wikipedia).
3. Give your campaign a name example "Feminism and Folklore 2024 on Bikol Central Wikipedia)".
4. Select the start and end dates (note: keep your start date as Feb 1 and end date as March 31).
5. Provide a description for your campaign (you can briefly describe the campaign in this section).
6. Make sure to keep the checkboxes ticked for "Allow users to submit articles that were not created but expanded." if you want to use the campaign for expanded articles also.
7. Keep minimum added bytes as 4000 and minimum added words as 400 and click next.
8. In the jury section, keep the checkboxes ticked for "Allow jury members to participate in the campaign" and "Prevent jury members from seeing each other's votes." As per your preference.
9. Under the jury search box, type the username of your jury and click on the "+" button to add; you can add multiple jury members.
10. Click next to review and then click on save.

With this we have also created a Missing article tool. This tool identifies articles in the English Wikipedia that are absent from your native language Wikipedia. You can customize your selection criteria, and our tool will provide you with a table displaying the missing articles along with suggested titles. You also have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats.

Both tools, the Missing Article Tool and the Campwiz Tool, are now available for public use during the Feminism and Folklore campaign. You can find more information about these tools here: https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/

There are also some changes in the rules and criteria's. Please go through the rules below.

1. Minimum Length: The expanded or new article should have a minimum of 4000 bytes or 400 words, ensuring sufficient depth and coverage of the chosen topic. The local organizers are free to choose the minimum length criteria as per needs of their local Wikipedia and must be clearly mention on local project page.
2. Language Quality: Articles should not be poorly machine-translated, ensuring that language quality and readability are maintained at a high standard.
3. Timeline of Creation or Expansion: The article should be created or expanded between 1 February and 31 March, aligning with the specified contest timeline.
4. Theme Relevance: Articles should directly address the theme of feminism and folklore, exploring connections between gender, cultural traditions, and intangible heritage.
5. No Orphaned Articles: Articles must not be orphaned, meaning they should be linked from at least one other article to ensure visibility within the Wikipedia ecosystem.
6. No Copyright violations: There should be no copyright violations, and articles should adhere to local Wikipedia policies on notability, ensuring that the content meets the standards for notability.
7. Adequate references and Citations: Each article should include proper references and citations following local Wikipedia policies, ensuring the reliability and credibility of the information presented.

Learn more about the contest details and prizes on our project page here. Should you require any assistance, please feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or via email.

We eagerly anticipate your enthusiastic coordination and participation in Feminism and Folklore 2024.

Next Steps and Feedback Request for Feminism and Folklore Organizers

Dear Organizer,

I hope this message finds you well.

First and foremost, I want to extend my gratitude to you for your efforts in organizing the Feminism and Folklore campaign on your local Wikipedia. Your contribution has been instrumental in bridging the gender and folk gap on Wikipedia, and we truly appreciate your dedication to this important cause.

As the campaign draws to a close, I wanted to inform you about the next steps. It's time to commence the jury process using the CampWiz or Fountain tool where your campaign was hosted. Please ensure that you update the details of the jury, campaign links and the names of organizers accurately on the sign-up page.

Once the jury process is completed, kindly update the results page accordingly. The deadline for jury submission of results is April 30, 2024. However, if you find that the number of articles is high and you require more time, please don't hesitate to inform us via email or on our Meta Wiki talk page. We are more than willing to approve an extension if needed.

Should you encounter any issues with the tools, please feel free to reach out to us on Telegram for assistance. Your feedback and progress updates are crucial for us to improve the campaign and better understand your community's insights.

Therefore, I kindly ask you to spare just 10 minutes to share your progress and achievements with us through a Google Form survey. Your input will greatly assist us in making the campaign more meaningful and impactful.

Here's the link to the survey: Survey Google Form Link

Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication to the Feminism and Folklore campaign. Your efforts are deeply appreciated, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards,

Feminism and Folklore International Team #WeTogether

Hello Filipinayzd

I am Uzoma, the Movement Communication Specialist supporting the Language team.

The WMF Language team has been working on MinT for Wiki Readers, and we plan to enable two entry points in Central Bikol Wikipedia. This announcement contains the details.

Since you are a prolific contributor in this Wikipedia, we thought this feature might interest you. Please feel free to read the announcement, test the feature, and provide your feedback.

Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback.

Hello @UOzurumba (WMF). This is truly amazing! It will open more possibilities like it will support contributors using the content translation tool, i.e. using Wiki Readers side-by-side with the content translation tool as an additional reference to ease content creation. I hope there would be a way for native speakers to create a new article based on the translation seen on Wiki Readers upon validation of the translation. This will fast track our work. Kudos to the people behind this project! --Filipinayzd (kaulayon) 00:32, 3 Hulyo 2024 (UTC)
