Article about a village in Germany

edit

Hey Aboluay, do you like to translate the article Twist, Germany into Arabic. That would great and would be greatful--95.88.99.149 (talk) 23:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

history of the alphabet

edit

Hi Aboluay,

Yes, you have made some valuable contributions, but unfortunately they contained factual errors as well, and I didn't have the time to figure out how best to correct them. You got the names of the Phoenician letters wrong (or at least their English transcriptions were wrong), and the Phoenician alphabet was the source of neither the word "alphabet", which is from Greek, nor "abjad", which is from Arabic. I believe that the information you added already exists in the article, though perhaps not in the best location, and it certainly already exists in the alphabet and abjad articles. —sabt (talk) 19:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

For starting the article. I've learned a lot by looking up stuff on al-Jamal. Always enjoy it when that happens. Anyway, I'll try to do what I can tonight, but my wikitime is limited. Thanks again. Tiamuttalk 18:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Arabic Wikipedia and Rami Tarawneh

edit

Hi! Thank you for making additions to Arabic Wikipedia. I took a look at this and I'm puzzled why Rami Tarawneh is omitted in the edit. Secondary sources and not primary sources are the bread and butter of Wikipedia and Wired states that Tarawneh is very influential in the Wikipedia's development.

WhisperToMe (talk) 17:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

This sounds like something that really needs to be discussed on the talk page. WP:V stated that "Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." - Are there any secondary sources that mentioned any claims about other people taking credit or "So-and-so is not really to credit, so-and-so is?" If those sources don't exist, you have to follow what Wired says. That is unless/until a journalist interviews the other side and they get an article written about them. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:13, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

"publicly published correspondence between Wikimedia and ArabEyes, the history of the Arabic Wikipedia discussions, the Wikipedia logs, the users talk pages and many other neutral secondary sources" - I believe all three would be primary sources because they are made by people directly involved in the Wikipedia community. Have you considered sending Wired a letter to the editor? WhisperToMe (talk) 03:42, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Don't worry, I'm not a lawyer! I'll take a look at your suggestions and refer to relevant passages from the Wired article. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:17, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

The suggestions and responses:

1. "The phrase "Contributors encouraged him to start an Arabic Wikipedia" is incorrect. The Arabic Wikipedia was started by the Wikimedia German User group by mandate of the Foundation and was not initiated by any Arab individual."
  • Text of the Wired article: "Angry at this misrepresentation, Tarawneh contacted one of the English Wikipedia contributors, who told him that Wikipedia is a collaborative work. He hadn’t realized that. “If I find something wrong, I should fix it,” Tarawneh says. “Then the Wikimedia people told me, why not start your own language version?” Thus began Arabic Wikipedia, at first just a group of about five contributors, all Jordanians studying abroad in Germany."
  • So what I will do is modify it to say that this specific group began contributing in 2003. The Arabic Wikipedia itself was established before then, but the question is when did the mass development of articles start? Unless/until there is more literature on that I'll rewrite and state that the group of Jordanians in Germany began at that time.
"The phrase that starts with "By 2005, there were fewer than 20 contributors" till the end of the paragraph should be incorporated into the sentence that starts with "However, in 2005..." this will give more meaning to the flow of the history."
  • That's a good suggestion!
3. "In the sentence, "Therefore Tarawnah and other..." I suggest to replace it to say "The volunteers worked on recruiting new users". Choosing one name over others is not fair for the others."
  • The reason why I only gave Tarawneh's name is because the article did not mention the names of the other PhD students working with him. Unless/until someone finds the names of the other four...

Support request with team editing experiment project

edit

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 South East Asia, Japan/China or India 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

A bit of help reviewing two small changes to two Arabic pages ?

edit

Hello Aboluay,

In addition to your offer to translate from Arabic to English, I see that you contribute a lot to the Arabic Wikipedia.

Just to get a feel for other languages and their Wikipedias, I occasionally make (trivial) edits in other languages, including Arabic.

A couple of months ago I fixed a typo here and here.

The changes are still pending, and are apparently awaiting review by someone else. Is there any chance you could do that?

Can you help verify translations of articles from Arabic

edit

Hello,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Arabic to English Wikipedia?

File:Language icon.svg

This would involve evaluating a translated article on English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Arabic article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Arabic , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Arabic. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Arabic article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 09:41, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
