- Note from John
- Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)

docentes en talleres de wikipedia/páginas de usuario editar
Necesita ayuda. Soy la encargada de la promoción de Wikipedia a los docentes en Tec de Monterrey, y la capacitación de los mismos. Es parte de un programa de actualizar el plan de estudios del sistema. Un junio hasta la fecha, empezamos con un serie de talleres y hemos tenido varios problemas. En particular, el borrar casi inmediatamente, de páginas de usuario de los participantes. Hay dos que hacen esto, Usuario:Tai Chi y Usuario:Tarawa1943. La primera vez que pasó, pasó durante el taller y tuve 9 pares de ojos mirandome buscando respuestas. Me puse en contacto con ellos y la única explicación fue contra la política.... nada más. No soy experta en es.wiki y no pude ver el texto que se borró y por eso no tuve la menor idea que era el problema. Me quejé a wikimedia-l, y con la ayuda de SJ, descubrimos que el problema fue "auto promoción" con información de contacto y/o información del CV en las páginas.
Ayer inicié otro taller y dije a los participantes no poner nada más que unas lineas, para intentar a evitar el problemas. Reunimos más tarde hoy pero uno Usuario:Alfplopez ya me dijo que Usuario:Tarawa1943 borró su página por "auto promoción." En mi opinión el borrar y falta de cooperación violan Wikipedia:No morder a los novatosy Wikipedia:Presume buena fe. La política no indica exactamente qué es "auto-promoción" ¿Cualquiera información profesional? Es muy logico que un profesor ponga esta tipo de información si piensa en usar Wikipedia como parte de sus clases. ¿No sería mejor poner una etiqueta en vez de borrar? y en el caso de alguien de Tec de Monterrey, ¿ponerse en contacto conmigo para que yo pueda ayudar al profesor? En este caso, no solo alejamos a los profesores como individuos, pero la repetición de esto puede causar problemas con la institución. Por esta razón busco ayuda con el Wikipedia Education Program. Muchas gracias por tu atención.Thelmadatter (discusión) 18:27 23 jul 2014 (UTC)

Pedido de ayuda editar
Hola. Necesito que me ayudes, quiero añadir al articulo Club Atlético Newell's Old Boys la siguiente frase:
En 1943 fue incorporado al Bloque de Clubes Grandes.
Fuente: Newell's Old Boys será incorporado al bloque de clubes denominados 'grandes' aparecido en el diario La Capital el 7 de mayo de 1943.
Se puede comprobar en la hemeroteca "Dr. Juan Álvarez" de Rosario (Argentina).
Puedo añadirlo al articulo? Saludos cordiales desde Argentina, espero con ansias una respuesta.--Marito nico (discusión) 21:02 24 ago 2014 (UTC)
An important message about renaming users editar
Dear Raystorm, My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help. I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.
As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.
Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.
The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.
Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.
In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.
Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.
Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24 25 ago 2014 (UTC)

Hola Ray, ¿te acuerdas de aquel debate? Rastrojo me aconsejó que lo fuera aprendiendo y él mismo me ha estado dando lecciones. Parece ser además que José Emilio le ha hecho algunas mejoras para nuestra wiki. No tengo más remedio que ponerme al día porque es con este editor con el que enseñamos a los alevines de la Universidad vía Wikimedia España. Todavía me siento algo insegura pero todo se andará. (Cuando esté perfeccionado va a ser la revolución). Te mando un abrazo. Lourdes, mensajes aquí 17:23 15 nov 2014 (UTC)

Hola, me gustaria tener cierta ayuda en los primeros artículos que voy a escribir para saber que esta todo ok con las políticas de wikipedia antes de publicar. He visto está magnifica funcionalidad y me parece la mejor manera de empezar. Publique algo por que tenia muchas ganas de aportar, pero un biblitecario retiro el contenido, con toda la razón, no era digno de Wikipedia. Por ello quiero que los próximos contenidos alla alguien que me los pueda revisar de antemano y me de recomendaciones para poder mejorarlo

- Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
- Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.

- New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access

- We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
- Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
