I've translated image upload process to Sinhala Language විකිමාධ්‍ය_සාකච්ඡාව:Uploadtext/si. Can you please review that. --asiri 11:41, 30 ඔක්තෝබර් 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look, soon :-) --Lee 05:58, 4 නොවැම්බර් 2008 (UTC)

In a nutshell, the admin-less projects are getting the use of a group of "global admins", who rollback vandalism, block vandals, and otherwise keep the place clean. I added a section proposing we allow them here as well. I'd appreciate your comments on the idea. :) Kylu (speak!) 01:40, 22 මාර්තු 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]


මාධ්‍යවිකි:Uploadtext/si[සංස්කරණය]

Dear Lee! Can you please solve this issue too..මාධ්‍යවිකි_සාකච්ඡාව:Uploadtext/si, This is about Mediawiki upload files. can you fix this.. Best asiri 04:32, 1 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Things are not 100% clear to me here. I believe you want that text to be displayed (as in English wiki) when a user clicks on the “ගොනුවක් උඩුගත කිරීම” link; right? I’ll check on it and make the necessary changes. But please give me some time, something strange happened when I tried it and I happened to be too busy at the moment to check on that. --Lee 05:10, 1 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Yes, That's right.you can do it freely. Lee, Sinhala WP still violating image copyrights. because users don't aware about that.So, i think we can make some barrier using that form. Isn't it? if you can redirect or do something “ගොනුවක් උඩුගත කිරීම” link to මාධ්‍යවිකි:Uploadtext/si, so we can do it easily. But i don't know that is possible to you. Anyway I really thank you keeping though with Sinhala Wikipedia continuously. Thank you ! --asiri 09:12, 1 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Thank you Lee, Now it is working... --asiri 10:47, 3 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Yes, but it’s still not 100% correct. It’s not working same as the English version. I tried updating some other scripts also but still no luck. I’ll check again to see if we can make it work the same way as the English wiki. --Lee 10:53, 3 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Import Template[සංස්කරණය]

Dear Lee,
If you have time, please import this template to Sinhala Wikipedia. Because this template would be useful UOC's Wikipedia content development project. Template:EducationalAssignment

Thank you very much for your quick response. It is happy to see active Admin here.
:) Thanks a lot --asiri 09:01, 23 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Done! I imported the basic template to the same name - Template: EducationalAssignment. Please check whether there is anything missing (It has a huge list of dependencies and I may have missed some). Hey the pleasure's all mine, I’m happy to see that there are people contributing :-) --Lee 09:13, 23 ජූනි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
A related note on that, it'd be a great idea if some of the more active contributors here could run for administrator. It's time to have some of the less active people (myself, for one) removed and replaced with fresh admins. Kylu (speak!) 03:17, 12 ජූලි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Wkipedia articel or Not?[සංස්කරණය]

Lee,
What do you think about this එකමත්_එක_රටක,_සිනමාව_ගැන_පූර්ව_අභ්‍යාසයක්. ? Before become a big issue, this should be handle. Otherwise Sinhala Wikipedia will face problems.
Ref en:What Wikipedia is not

Yes. I think the article is not in the general form of a wikipedia article. So it should be corrected or deleted. Since I come from the time where there were no contributors in Sinhala wiki, I’m not good at jumping in and deleting things on my own choice. Somebody has to propose it to be deleted if the article cannot be corrected. It’s a good thing if we can get the user informed about why we are going to delete it. --Lee 10:15, 30 ජූලි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
I think no need to delete, first we can make aware of them. Because new comers do not konw of thise things.First we can make aware him/her about this using this {{Unencyclopedic}} Unencyclopedic.Can you please import that template to Si.Wiki when you feel free. Then sometimes they will follow it --asiri 10:47, 30 ජූලි 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Lee,

I tried to solve the problem on එකමත් එක රටක, සිනමාව ගැන පූර්ව අභ්‍යාසයක්. by categorizing it separately. I accept that it is not the standard but we could try & see. As all of us know "X" people thinks differently compared to the majority. --Singhalawap 13:20, 4 අගෝස්තු 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]


Number of articles[සංස්කරණය]

Have you noticed the strange behavior of the "number of articles" in sinhalese wiki. Even though atleast 100 new articles are created in the past few days, the number of articles remains same at 1896. Strange. May need to look by some steward --122.167.105.159 14:00, 26 අගෝස්තු 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

It seems it’s rising now, isn’t it? I guess something was wrong in refreshing somewhere. --Lee 12:26, 2 සැප්තැම්බර් 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Absurd use of PILIS[සංස්කරණය]

Lee,I see the use of pilis is very upset in Sinhala Wikipedia. Why is that? Yansaya and Rakaranshaya cannot be seen! Is it a problem with the font? If so can't we change it? Please let me know! Further, can't we make editing in sinhala easier? Pasanbhathiya2 08:41, 28 අගෝස්තු 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

This issue of pilis you see, is this only on Sinhala wikipedia or do you get this behavior on all the Sinhala Unicode sites? I believe the former is the case. What is the OS you are using? Let’s try step by step to debug it. I think the issue is in your computer setup for Sinhala and that can be solved easily. Next item, editing Sinhala, yes there are a few suggestions on improving Sinhala text editing. I had issues with finding free time to implement those and later I just gave up on those ideas because there were almost no contributors here. But since now people are here, let’s see what we can do about it. If you have any suggestions on how things can be made easy please let me know. We may find time to implement them. ;-) --Lee 11:55, 2 සැප්තැම්බර් 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Need some help[සංස්කරණය]

Hi, Lee. I am active contributor at the english wikipedia, and since Sinhala is my mother tongue I thought I'd try to help here as well. What are the basics I need to know (I mean, are they any introduction pages to editing or something like that)? It'd be great if you could help me with getting started here. Chamal N 02:57, 29 අගෝස්තු 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hi, it’s good to see people joining in. Well as for guidelines in Sinhala wikipedia, you already know most of it since you’ve been in the English wikipedia. Basic things are the same as English wiki but things are a lot free here in Sinhala wiki. Almost all the pages are editable by normal users here. So all you have to do is start contributing. If you have any special issue or a question don’t hesitate to contact me. ජයවේවා! --Lee 11:45, 2 සැප්තැම්බර් 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]
It's nice to see Chamal N at Sinhala Wikipedia. HE is an administrator at English Wikipedia,and most probably the only one from Sri Lanka. Pasanbhathiya2 17:59, 6 සැප්තැම්බර් 2009 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Is there a specific method to merge articles. I did cud & past, wanted to know if there is a better method. Singhalawap 05:31, 7 මැයි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Protect articles[සංස්කරණය]

Dear Administrator Lee

I have created articles රාහු කාලය & මරු සිටින දිශාව. I have no faith on those but for people having faith on it, the accuracy is very important.

Even a miner change (such as 6:00 insted of 7:00 ) has a big impact. I request you to protect these articles so only registered users could do edits.
Singhalawap 09:29, 14 මැයි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

There is a small issue regarding this request. These pages are not complete. Plus the sources are not properly mentioned. One major thing we can do regarding sensitive items is to add a message saying not to trust the content on the page for important work. I know that doesn't sound good. But as you said there are people who believe in those and they should be warned. --Lee 11:54, 2 ජූනි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hello Lee I've started translating the page

http://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:%E0%B6%A2%E0%B7%93%E0%B7%80_%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%AF%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%80

in 2008 and had to leave the site since I had exams. I copied and pasted part of the English article on Biology and now only I've finished that part and it seems the English Wikipedia article has been changed.

Now only I know that copying and pasting is not the appropriate way of getting articles from the English Wikipedia but by importing.

What should I do about the rest of the article?

Thanks

Shane44 15:16, 22 මැයි 2010 (යූටීසී)Shane44[reply]

Hi Shane44, I don't really understand your question. May be you are referring to the comments I used when creating templates. I called them importing because I just copied the entire content from the English wiki. (Yes there is some heavy import thing in wiki, but we never use it here). When translating you really don't have to copy anything to this wiki, other than the basic formatting; isn't it? Regarding the formatting, it's perfectly OK to copy and paste it from English wiki. Let me know if I confuse you more than you were before... :-) --Lee 15:42, 25 මැයි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Lee,Yes I was a bit confused before. But now I have another problem which I've just discovered.There are two articles here in Sinhala wikipedia on ජීව විද්‍යාව http://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:%E0%B6%A2%E0%B7%93%E0%B7%80_%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%AF%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%80 which I started to translate in 2008 and http://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B6%A2%E0%B7%93%E0%B7%80_%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%AF%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B7%80 which is translated by Felidae
Now,this first one doesn't appear when I search.I didn't see that it was a portal before.So it should not be like an ordinary article right? Can you please look into this?
btw,how do you make the same message you write on another's talk page appear in your too,you copy paste or it automatically appear?

Lee, Regarding this; I believe there are still some Sinhala pages that should be speedily deleted. For example,

and some copyright violations such as

I agree with you that some of the CSD tagging is not acceptble and should reach a consensus to delete via a discussion. Therefore from the beginning I only requested some simple blatant nonsense to be deleted. So it would be greatly appreciated if you could speed up the deletion process a little. Cheers--Chanaka L (talk) 02:40, 7 ජූලි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

I have a suggestion here. What do you think if we setup a reviewer panel here? Suggestion is if two reviewers agree on (speedy) deleting a page then sysops should not worry about anything, just delete the requested page. At the present time it would be ok if the same user (who is a reviewer) tagged the page to be deleted can simply put a comment in the article’s talk page saying that he/she has gone through the request not simply marked the page for deletion. Originally I suggested on stopping the speedy deletion is that people who tagged the pages to be deleted were starting to think that the tagged articles should be thoroughly reviewed before deleting. That can hardly be called speedy deletion is it? What do you think about this idea? --Lee 12:24, 7 ජූලි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Do you mean something similar to en:WP:AFD? Mmm... good, Then I think whole thing should be centralized. Suggest creating some thing like [[විකිපීඩියා:ලිපි මකා දැමීමේ ලොගය]]. One thing we should bear in mind that in enwiki, non-admin users shouldn't close a "speedy delete" AfD. As in enwiki we should have two deletion methods. 1) Regular deletion:AfD 2) Speedy deletion. Copyvios must be "speedied" if they aren't salvageable. How's that?--Chanaka L (talk) 13:11, 7 ජූලි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
What about images without copyrights information? -- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව
My first idea was that we should inform the person who upload the image to add proper copyright information. However it's kind of too late now, isn't it? I'm in to deleting all the images without copyright information if the community think that's the best to do.--Lee 15:36, 7 ජූලි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
It seems better to inform them before delete(may be in their talk pages, may be 7/15 days time duration). If they are not taking necessary actions we need to delete even though it is their own creation. it is better to start a discussion on කෝපි කඩේ related to this. -- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව 16:14, 7 ජූලි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Sorry I was not aware that there is a discussion on this on Wikipedia:කෝපි කඩේ. I was ill & I was out of touch whats going on wikipedia for few weeks. Reason why I added the link again was mentioned in the commented lines as I was not aware of the discussion. I will contribute my idea there in kopi kade. I strongly believe there needs a link to the official web site for singhala language support in the main page very clear manner. I'm hoping to do some activities to attract new users to sinhala wikipedia. If someone visits http://si.wikipedia.org & see just blank boxes & on top of the page link to another complex wikipedia page may discourage them.

Rehabilitating "Felidae Company" Articles in Sinhala Wikipedia[සංස්කරණය]

All of you must be noticing that Felidae Company had translated portions of English Articles which are hence of no value.
Now, things to be done (according to my belief) are

  1. Renaming the improper article titles
  2. correcting grammar mistakes
  3. inserting images
  4. inserting links
  5. merging the articles

Now, these things are not meant to be done in this order.
A user may

  • Rename an article
  • search and find other articles to be merged
  • cut & paste the content to the renamed article.


Now, the renaming is O.K I suppose as the history is moved to the new article name. But, in the cut & paste operation the history of old articles are lost.
What should be done?
There is a method which only Administrators can do (which I suppose preserves the history information) Please see this; but it is

  • time consuming
  • lengthy
  • only Admins can do

I think it involves a deletion and restoration step. It is better to delay this till I could reach a consensus with Singhalawap. I will let you know then.Cheers--Chanaka L (talk) 04:34, 10 ජූලි 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

කාබනික රසායනය - merge[සංස්කරණය]

This is regarding කාබනික රසායනය

Out of the 6 sub articles I've put the content of 5 articles in the main article excluding කාබනික_රසායනය_(ඓතිහාසික_සන්ධිස්ථාන) which I think can stay as a separate article.And added content for "Organic Reactions" from the English wiki so it can be translated later.And also the internal and external links. I've come across some problems though.

1) Can you take the content from one article to the main article, then merge history and yet keep the old article as it is so that it can be developed further?

2) Do you always have to remove the content of the former article before adding the delete tag?

I've added the content from the articles කාබනික ද්‍රව්‍යවල ලක්ෂණ and සංස්ලේෂක කාබනික රසායනය , so the history should be merged too. But thee 2 articles should not be deleted since the content can be developed and made into full articles later. Thanks --Shane44 (talk) 18:10, 9 අගෝස්තු 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hi Kylu, :-) I thought you were still on a wiki break. Well, no. We still don't have a strict policy of that sort. That is something yet to be discussed. Our initial concern was these admins have gone unresponsive and right now we are making a lot of changes in our policies (for example speedy deletions are somewhat cautiously done these days). Some of our people were having issues in trusting admins, who never bother regular visiting the wiki to keep their knowledge on current policies up-to-date. --Lee (talk) 12:22, 18 අගෝස්තු 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Well, for the time being it's *really good* if we can keep the template names in English. We lag big time in infrastructure in our wiki. We don’t have resources to create those things from scratch. So we have no option but to import those basic templates from English wiki. If we can keep the titles/names of those templates in English while the import is still in progress that would help a lot in reducing time needed in debugging the issues. But ultimately all those titles *must* be translated to Sinhala. I’m talking about the transition time we are at right now. I hope you can agree with my logic. :-) --Lee (talk) 13:17, 27 අගෝස්තු 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

That page is protected and only logged in users can edit it. I also don't think you did anything wrong in putting that template there. I removed it because a part of it should remain in English so non-Sinhala speakers can understand what is going on. But there should be Sinhala translation also so people who understand only Sinhala can understand.

About bot flags[සංස්කරණය]

Lee, We need to get enable bot flags for some bots in our wiki(also for mine). What do you think about this? -- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව 16:16, 29 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

I think it's better we get the list and set the flag in one go. We might have to contact some of the bot operators on this, isn't it? --Lee (talk) 18:36, 29 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hi, Lee. I am editor at English Wikipedia, and an active global editor. I am concerned about this image currently on the front page; is it on a free licence? Also I am planning on working on more images in the future. To avoid any extra work in reviewing my edits, does si.wiki have any sort of Autoreviewer tag (I dont speak Sinhala)? :) Kind regards. Rehman 10:23, 1 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Hi Rehman, Please allow me some time to response. --Lee (talk) 11:33, 1 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
No problem. Rehman 12:41, 1 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
You are right. I don't think that image is a free image. We are still cleaning up the images with no or invalid copyright information and it seems this is something that escaped. I'm not sure I understand the part about the tag. We have the template {{NCH}} which is en:Template:No copyright holder (or en:Template:Nchd) if that is what you mean. I'm a little busy in real life these days so you have to forgive me for not been swift in answering and acting. --Lee (talk) 12:49, 2 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
I understand, no worries. Just one question, does si.wiki allow IPs to create articles and upload images? If so, I think we should prepare to stop that once we reached about 100 active users or so. Or a better way would be the Autoreviewer tag I mentioned above; if we could implement that, it would be easier to track who does who, while ignoring trusted users... Rehman 00:52, 3 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Actually I’m at a lost right now. If I delete the image without making the correction on the main page it will look really ugly there. :-( --Lee (talk) 13:04, 2 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
I think it is sort of ok to delete. At en.wiki, we frequently have image-less FAs. IMHO, it's better safe than sorry. :) Rehman 00:52, 3 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
Why cant we use "fair use rationale" සමන් (talk) 04:30, 3 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
If I am not mistaken, we definitely cannot use fair use images on the Main Page, without doubt, per fair use policy. For instance, if an FA on the English Wikipedia has only a fair use image, it would be posted on the main page without any image. Rehman 06:32, 3 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
I think we should take it down immediately before we get into any legal issues with the owner (it has happened before). I could do it, but I don't have the necessary tools. Rehman 06:43, 3 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
For the moment I have removed the image. Even though that is not the best answer. -- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව 08:09, 3 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
@Rehman, are you sure about the comment on fair use not permitted on main page? I'm having serious doubts on that! --Lee (talk) 07:27, 5 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]

Yes, absolutely. This may explain further... This wiki has just under 1000 files uploaded. I don't think it would be that difficult to review them :) Rehman 10:15, 5 දෙසැම්බර් 2010 (යූටීසී)[reply]
