Occitan nobility

I see you changed the category of Marie of Montpellier from "French nobility" to "Occitan nobility". That's fine, and much more logical, but, having done that much, you need to go on and create the category. Let me know if you need help doing that. Andrew Dalby 22:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Between the wikis

Thanks very much for your message, Capsot. I have no problem with your edits at all -- I think you are improving both the English and the Catalan Wikipedia! And we evidently agree that links between the languages are a good thing. I'm sure our paths will (virtually) cross again from time to time, and I look forward to it.

Aranese - "one of the strongest actors in the Occitan sphere"

Hi,

Please see my comments at Talk:Aranese language. Thanks! --Amir E. Aharoni 07:34, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hi

Hi. I found you in the category of users who can contribute in English and Portuguese. I myself am a native speaker of English, but I'm well on my way to learning Portuguese. Just check out my user page and talk page, and join in any of the discussions. To keep updated, you can even put a watch on my user page, which will automatically watch my talk page. :-) learnportuguese (talk) 16:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support!

I would definitely help in anyway I can. I don't write or speak Catalan but I can read it some what since it's so closely related to Castilian. Let me know in which way I can help. La Fuzion (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have put the template on my page. I don't know much Catalan except for being able to understand some of it written down, thanks to its relation to other Romance languages. I am sympathetic to any effort to get recognition for minorised languages such as Catalan. I think wikipedia has been a good thing for such languages.--MacRusgail (talk) 22:29, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message Capsot. I'm very much in favour of supporting minority, endangered or suppressed languages and cultures, so I'll add the template to my talk page (I'm not a big fan of userboxes and the like generally, but I'm Ok with this one on my talk :) I visited beautiful Barcelona for the 1st time last year, which was my first brief experience of Catalunya. I now need to return to explore the rest!! Good luck with your project and best wishes. --Cactus.man ✍ 18:31, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a fan of userboxes, but I did provide the link on my page so that I am listed under the category lending my support. I do not familiarize myself with Wikipedia nor Wikimedia culture much, so am not very familiar with what is required of the chapters, or if it is possible or wanted that a chapter exist across boundaries. But, the world is not so clean-cut-a-place to fit neatly within predetermined borders, so good luck to you and your effort. [tk] XANDERLIPTAK 14:17, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Catalan Wikipedia

Thanks, but my only involvement with Catalan Wikipedia has been to try to purge from the system some incorrect interwikis which someone once added to the ca:Riu Gor page. It seems that once you add interwikis, it's extremely difficult to get rid of them, even if they're complete nonsense... AnonMoos (talk) 20:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CAT support

Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support!

Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I'm Claudi Balaguer, a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment. I have been reading the debate over a Californian Chapter and I think that your opinion is right and in my opinion going against the spreading of knowledge creating boundaries to creativity and collective voluntary work is not a good thing. Our association has done a good work until now and like you said being a Chapter will make it easier for us to be listened to. So maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages, cultures and local or regional entities in the future! Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Capsot (talk) 16:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Capsot; thanks for the message. I've seen bits and pieces of what your association is doing, and it all sounds fantastic. However, I wouldn't support the formation of a Catalan Chapter, given that a big part of being a "chapter" (as the term is currently used within Wikimedia) is operating within a geographic boundary, rather than on a language basis, as it is meant to cover a single legal jurisdiction and area. For example, an English chapter would never work as it would have to operate in the US, UK, Australia, ... In such an organization, people couldn't meet up, couldn't apply for charity status/tax deductability, couldn't realistically participate in the fundraiser, etc.

That's not to say that I don't think you should be recognized by the Foundation as an organization supporting Wikimedia - just that being a chapter isn't the best approach. We need a different way of recognizing what you're doing without it being a as chapter, or by creating a variant on what a chapter is and does.

A big part of what makes it easier to get people to listen to you is the use of the trademarks - the name "wikimedia" and "wikipedia", and the logos - and having a bit of money to support your activities. I think you should be asking the Foundation for these, if you haven't already, rather than asking to be a formal chapter. Alternatively, if feasible, you should focus your efforts on forming geographic-based chapters covering the appropriate regions - of course, making sure that these represent wikimedians of those countries generally rather than solely Catalan wikimedians.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend talking to Wikimedia Brasil, as they are also an organization that doesn't really fit into the definition of a chapter in the current setup.

I hope this makes sense: if you want any clarifications, or to ask my views on anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:00, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia CAT template

Hello Cap! I have added the template, as you requested, hope its helps! A suggestion about it, leaving {{Wikimedia CAT}} instead, in your future messages to others would help users placing it directly, also reducing the size to the template to standard userbox size, would help further.

Hi about Catalan

I posted the banner, and realized I don't know exactly what you mean by a chapter for Catalan. Can you explain more about what you mean, and what the problems are that you are facing? Obviously, the language is a mix of others- I myself am familiar with English, Brazilian Portuguese, Central American Spanish (Mexico, El Salvador) and I know a few school words in French. I realize the overlapping languages in that region produced another distinct language. What exactly is the problem with Catalan and the Wikipedia? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 13:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I understand a some ideas now! Although I've edited about 4 years now, I am both computer illiterate, and Wikipedia ignorant, with little contact with more than a handful of editors who answered some early questions of mine, and that is all. I have never ventured into the Village Pump, or anything close to it. The politics of WP fly right over my head-- people use terms like Rfd (something like that), or the "DYK?" (I understand that, but the rules are stupid). I still don't know how to archive my own talk page --I know 'how' I want it kept though, and need an extra sandbox seoarate from my other one, too but don't know how. Hopefully, this gives you some idea of how far behind I am technologically, and that I'm not only an older female editor, but one who grew up impoverished without typing or other courses that I've just begun to learn in some of these things-- which was my reason for editing the Wikipedia, to learn enough to complete two University degrees! I sympathize with your situation, and will discuss it with the few editors I know. Frankly the mention of funding, etc. makes me nervous. I want the Wikipedia to be a free encylopedia for all to use. It may be naiive of me since most of the world's people do not have access to the internet. I'd hoped that the only time it earned money would be just to pay a skeletal staff only to keep front page items and the articles themslves running and pay for the servers for it all. I've talked hundreds of musicians into giving their photos to us for free, using Creative Commons, which gives them little more than a promise to connect their name and photostream to each photo. Recently, I noticed the work being done on Wiki books and seeing that little shopping cart at the top of an unfinished page made my heart just stop and freeze. Maybe it IS a good idea that I don't know what is happening out there!! I don't know. However, I do sympathize with your problem. If NYC is considered a chapter-- then it is confusing. However, for now, I think I should just watch from the sidelines and see what happens. Thanks for thinking of me in the first place, and explaining it. At the bottom of my Userpage is a section with the names and talk page links to people who have taught me over the years. They may be the people to whom you should write, since they get involved in more of the social and political side of Wikipedia. Good luck with them! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 19:44, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would be delighted to help you with the Catalan Wikipedia formation. I just added the template to my user page. Oh, and by the way, I am Irish.

Canvassing

Normally, it isn't a good idea to leave the same message on many user talk pages, especially a message trying to get support for something. For example, your recent message, left on my talk page and many others, doesn't even seem related to the work we're doing at English Wikipedia, and I personally am not sure why you left it for me, since I've never expressed any interest in this organization. This series of messages leaves you vulnerable to the charge of spamming Wikipedia users, which I'm certain was not your intention. It might be a good idea to stop using messages on individual talk pages as a way to achieve your goal. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:55, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've left another copy of this message, here. I'm afraid that Wikipedia's rules against canvassing really don't permit you to leave messages on multiple user talk pages trying to get support for your organization. Please, would you stop? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may find this list of relevance in your endeavors. At least the editors there have registered a specific interest in Catalan. Hope this helps. RashersTierney (talk) 12:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is strange; I'm sure that we discussed the fact that WP:CANVASS doesn't permit you to leave these messages, but I see from your contributions that you've continued to leave them. It will make me terribly sad to have to block you from editing Wikipedia, but I'm afraid that is going to have to be the next step, if simply asking nicely isn't enough to help you stop. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make sure that my interpretation of the rules is accurate, I've invited other users to look at your recent edits, by placing a message at [the administrators' incident board. Please feel to contribute, if you like, to the conversation there. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:40, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Catalan

Hello, I'm replying to your post about català. I am of Welsh descent, but I don't know Welsh, by the way I'm not sure I understand what a català chapter is. Doesn't català already have a Wikipedia? I'm also writing this in Spanish because català and Spanish are more closely connected than English and català and I'm guessing català is your native language

En Español: Hola, estoy contestando a su mensaje. Soy de nacimiento galese, pero no hablo galés No estoy seguro que tengo entiendo que es un "català chapter." ¿No hay un Viquipèdia en català? --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 18:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tu ingles es muy bien! Cuando estoy hablando con una persona que habla català o español, habla a él o ella en español porque quiere make things easier. Entonces ¿català to tiene un "chapter" porque no es un región geográfico? Hmm... No es justo. Català es más que una lengua. También es una cultura muy, muy rica y única. Y la mayoría del pueblo catalánes vive en el mismo región, ¿no?

English: Sorry for my bad Spanish, school is starting up again and my brain is fried

You speak English well, don't worry. I'm talking in two languages to make things easier for both of us, and also for anyone else who's helping with the effort to get català chapter who doesn't speak English well. And I wanted to practice my Spanish. I'm a little rusty, I haven't been speaking Spanish with mi madre lately. So català doesn't have a chapter because it isn't a geographical region? That's not fair... Català is more than just a language; it's also a rich and unique culture that has history and deserves representation. And the majority of the Catalan people live in Spain, don't they? On the language's Wikipedia page, it says 5,698,400 people in Catalonia speak català, 706,065 people in the Balearic Islands, 2,407,951 people in the Valencian Community, for a total of 8,812,416 speakers (and presumably members of the culture) in Spain alone. (This doesn't count the people who only understand the language, just the speakers.) The only other two places where català is spoken as an official or co-official language are Andora and Norther Catalonia, in France, which have 61,975 and 125,621 speakers, respectively. (Total: 187,596). So it looks like a majority of Catalonian people live in Spain, a geographical region... --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 16:25, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized.
