I wanted to thank you for your work on my translation. I wish you all the best, take care, Claudi/Capsot 15:56, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

力任せに訳してみました。長いから日本語も統一取れてないし、ばしばし（全書き換えの覚悟で）編集よろしくお願いします＞Research:Wikipedia Mobile Readers Survey 2011/Translation/ja　気になったところなど、あとでノートに書いておきますので、そちらもチェックしていただければ幸い。--miya 16:12, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

大変お疲れさまでした。一日前に冒頭のところを少しだけ編集しましたが、ほかのところもこれから見てみます。 --whym 16:22, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your activity with fundraiser translations so far!! I have one small request to make: We had to change three of the appeals; the change is the same in all of them, and the replacement text is quite short, so I don't want to e-mail people just to fix that, and that's why I'm asking you instead. It would be great if you could do the following fixes in Japanese:

• Jimmy Letter 002
• Kaldari Letter (remember the change from 420 million to 422 million)
• Alan Letter

Since these are small changes you don't have to go through the cycle of having it proofread and everything, unless you are unsure about the translation. Thanks in advance. :-) Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 05:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Done with Alan's and Kaldari's. I'll see if I can do it with Jimmy's later. --whym 12:05, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi! To simplify how we do commit access, I've enabled you to commit to MediaWiki extensions as well. This shouldn't cause you any trouble; if it does, please send an email to commit-access-requests@wikimedia.org and let us know that you're having access issues. Thanks!

Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation 8 Nov 2011

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I can see no problem with this. --whym 03:06, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 14:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Whym. Please let me know on my user talk page when you have finished proofreading the Terms of Use, I will then copy the new version over to the Foundation wiki. Thanks! The Helpful One 17:29, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Published the pages to Foundation Wiki - thanks! :) The Helpful One 15:52, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for your help on the Request for Comment. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 17:31, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

No problem. :) --whym (talk) 09:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey Yusuke, do you think you could finish up the Japanese translation by adding the two voting options? They're under the "Option 1" and "Option 2" headers. Sorry, I know that page is really long and somewhat messy in edit mode, now that there are many translations. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 17:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I've just fixed it. They have been there but mislabelled. Sorry for my carelessness. --whym (talk) 07:28, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

No worries! Thank you so much for the translations. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 17:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Dear Whym:

Thank you for helping to translate the WMF Grants program pages on Meta. Thanks to your efforts, these programs will be accessible to more people all over the world. We would like to send you something in appreciation of your work, so please contact us by Email at grants at wikimedia dot org with your name, shirt size (optional), address for delivery (not a PO Box), and telephone number (for delivery).

We would also like to let you know that our programs are growing and we will need to make some significant changes to these program pages in the next few weeks. When this happens, these pages may need to be retranslated, although much of the new text will be identical or similar to the text you've already translated: you've already translated this text, so you'd be able to copy and paste much from your existing translation. Please consider continuing to support the movement's work in this area, and please continue to let your multilingual friends and colleagues know that this support is still needed as our programs grow!

Please also let us know if you have any feedback for us: it's always welcome.

With appreciation,

Wolliff (talk) 18:51, 14 August 2012 (UTC) (on behalf of the Wikimedia Grants Team)

Hi Whym! We're looking for volunteers to serve on the newly forming committee for Individual Engagement Grants. The committee will review project proposals and make recommendations for the first round of grants during Feb/March this year. If you'd be interested in getting involved, more info is on the IEG page. Deadline for committee signup is Feb 8, deadline for project proposals is Feb 15. I also will spam you with an email, since I'm not sure how often you check this meta account. Hope all is great with you :-) Siko (WMF) (talk) 20:12, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Responded by email :) --whym (talk) 12:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Whym,
Thanks for signing up to join the Individual Engagement Grants Committee! It is my pleasure to confirm your membership. We’ve got a lot to accomplish together, particularly during the next 6 weeks, and it will be awesome to have your help. Here is how to get started:

To make your membership official, please do 2 things by February 11th:

1. Introduce yourself in the IdeaLab.
2. Send your email address to IEGrantswikimedia.org, so that we can subscribe you to the committee mailing list.

Then there are 2 first tasks' for active committee members to start on right away:

1. Review information in the Committee Workroom (your new organizing hub on meta), including responsibilities and the review process. Feedback and questions are very welcome at this stage.
2. Start giving feedback on open ideas, drafts and proposals. Asking questions to gather information you’ll need to make a recommendation helps prospective grantees think their projects all the way through, and will give us more great proposals to choose from.

Our formal review of proposals starts February 22nd. I’ll be posting information about scoring and selection of proposals on the committee mailing list and in the Workroom soon, so please keep an eye there!

Thanks again for joining this new grantmaking program...I hope we’re going to see some amazing impact from these grants! :-) Siko (WMF) (talk) 07:23, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Pleas, I would ask your attention to the comments of the committee evaluation, thank you.Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton ^m 01:14, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

	Individual Engagement Grant Barnstar
	For spreading the word about the program, sharing your expert assessments and great ideas, and for always contributing something wise to the discussions in this first round, I am grateful to you. Thanks for contributing to IEG, I hope we'll continue to benefit from your expertise in the future! Siko (WMF) (talk) 22:32, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks and kudos to you, too, Siko :) --whym (talk) 09:55, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the Wikimedia Foundation would like your feedback on Individual Engagement Grants! We have created a brief survey to help us better understand your experience participating in the IEG program and how we can improve for the future. You are being selected to participate in our survey because you served on the IEG Committee.

Click here to be taken to the survey site.

The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. We really appreciate your feedback! And we hope to see you in the IdeaLab soon.

Happy editing,

Siko and Jonathan, Grantmaking & Programs, Wikimedia Foundation.

	Individual Engagement Grant Barnstar
	Thanks for participating so actively again in this 2nd round of IEG, Whym! I particularly appreciate that you took time to discuss issues with so many of the technical proposers directly, that was really helpful! Hope to have you return again next year :) Best wishes, Siko (WMF) (talk) 00:52, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Siko. Honestly my involvement in this period has been limited, but I'm glad if it helped anyway. :) Hope to be back to discuss ideas for the next round soon. --whym (talk) 10:59, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Whym, glad you like our project. Weibo.com do need an account to get access to those posts. The link you find is kind of mirror sites, which is a good platform for people who has no account to find out what we post. I will add it in my report. And as Siko recommended, I will create a learning pattern later for what we learn through the project, and provide our experience, like the best time for social media post and posting strategy. Hope this could be much helpful for all of us.--AddisWang (talk) 10:04, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep an eye there. :) whym (talk) 10:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Whym! I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with the translations of the new trademark policy. I also want to apologize in advance if any of the new modifications we are making detract from your great work, or otherwise fail to communicate the policy changes we are trying to document. Please feel free to correct any of our changes :) MBrar (WMF) (talk) 02:27, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

What was that about? PiRSquared17 (talk) 04:20, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

@PiRSquared17: It was an advertisement of laser pointers they sell. (sorry for not including that in the edit summary.) whym (talk) 09:28, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

This is regarding the announcement (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/labs-l/2014-July/002762.html) if you have missed it.

We have added some fields in addition to description field which is already there on your projects. Please click "Edit Documentation" in your project page/ project pages and fill the blanks. It will only take few minutes from your valuable time.

If you have any comments or suggestion on the form please let me know.--Sandaru (talk) 16:56, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

The bot's login was expired or somehow invalidated. It should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know. whym (talk) 09:40, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

• Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer
• Letter on change.org

I'm notifying you because you participated in one of several relevant discussions. -Pete F (talk) 22:24, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Sometimes when I set up an archive, I'd kind of like to have it run immediately–maybe once for a talk page and then stop bot archiving altogether, or maybe once with one location, and later (e.g., after moving the page to a new title) set it up with different settings. Do you know of any bots or scripts that will do on-demand archiving? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:01, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): You could install an instance of Pywikibot, and invoke archivebot.py everytime your need for archiving arises. My instance runs daily by cron, but another instance needs not to be so. -page argument should make it work only on a specific page(s). You might get other ideas if you ask at en:WP:VPT or somewhere appropriate on English Wikipedia, though - the wiki seems to have a bit more variety of archiving bots. whym (talk) 13:13, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Dear Whym, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.

Hello Whym,

I would like to ask you to configure the bot to run on simple.wikipedia.org, for the archival of talk and project pages, once a day? - Pages like Simple talk, Administrators' noticeboard and a few user pages are set up to support archival. Having the bot automate the archival would really be helpful. Thank you. --Eptalon (talk) 12:21, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

@Eptalon: Sure, it's not difficult for me to add simple.wikipedia.org to my bot's targets. However, it appears that there is User:SassoBot (operated by User:Djsasso) as well. Did you try talking to them? whym (talk) 14:00, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Whym. Would you mind have a look at this edit and seeing what can be done to stop ArchiverBot removing the section itself. Thanks for the bot.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: I'll remove {{User:MiszaBot/config...}} from the page and it should stop the bot. As far as I know, my bot never did anything useful there, so there will be no loss. Steinsplitter's has done the job. I have dug the history and it appears that MF-Warburg tested the config in August, but probably forgot to remove. [1] whym (talk) 01:39, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at it. I cannot remember the history of the page. <shrug>  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:14, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

In addition to taking the the survey, you are welcome to participate in these ways:

• Respond to questions on the discussion page of the idea.
• Join a small group conversation.
• Learn more about this consultation.

This survey is in English, but feedback on the discussion page is welcome in any language.

With thanks,

Hi, sorry in advance if I am bothering you. I just want to inform you about a possibilty here on meta. After the SUL finalization there is a search for additional Global_renamers (GR). You made some edits in the guidelines.

As I did with other users, I am contacting you because at the moment in Global_renamers#Users_with_global_rename_access and Stewards#List_of_current_stewards, if I correctly remember, only two are ja>3. Kanjy and Nihonjoe but they're both not very active as a GR. More than 125 millions people speak Japanese... wikipedias with similar size and amount of active users such as Spanish or Italian Wiki have much more global renamers... so there is a gap IMHO.

Now, you have a good cross-wiki activity and you are a sysop on different projects, and you deal with user-related issues even as a OTRS member and a sysop. If you want to be more involved in the GR tasks in the future, please feel free to apply. We have accepted in the past months candidates with much lower cross-wiki activity or language skills than you, so you probably have good chances. Some of them were en-1 and you are en-3.

Please notice that I am not an expert user on meta nor a local bureaucrat or sysop, I just care about the "variety" of the meta environment and I though that it was useful to inform some users of the opportunity. If you know yourself some user with a good profile (local sysop, cross-wiki activity) who might be interested, please let him/her know about this "opportunity".

If you think you won't be very active in the next months or you are simply not interested, no problem. In case you want to apply, I suggest you to complete the translation of the pages Global rename policy and Global renamers into Japanese.

Thank you again for your time and have a nice wiki.--Alexmar983 (talk) 19:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello!

There is a conversation on es.wikiversity about automatically archiving the Village Pump page and I am wondering if it would be possible to activate ArchiverBot on that wiki to do that.

Would it be possible??

Regards, Lsanabria (talk) 13:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

@Lsanabria: I would like to see explicit consensus that the local community wants it. I can see you are promoting it, but it's not clear to me if your fellows are endorsing the idea. whym (talk) 09:44, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

If such consensus is secured, here are the things we will need to have done.

1. Translate the docs: mw:Manual:Pywikibot/archivebot.py/setup.
2. Create the marker template (see the docs above) on your wiki. The content can be empty, and the title can be anything. My suggestions for the title are Template:Auto_archiving, Template:<the translation of "auto archiving">, or Template:AutoArchiving. See en:voy:Template:Auto archiving and en:User:MiszaBot/config for an example.
3. Ensure no AbuseFilter is triggered when the bot removes content from talk pages.
4. Get ArchiverBot flagged as a bot locally. Otherwise it will notify you every time it archives your talk page.

whym (talk) 09:44, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I added a note to the conversation asking people to express their position on the matter. --Lsanabria (talk) 14:10, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I left the message in the village pump and the user who started the discussion and myself voted in favor. The item was in the page for 1 month and given the low activity levels in that project I don't think we will get more votes. Do you think we can proceed? About the things in your list:

1. «Translate the docs» Done
2. «Create the marker template» Done: I created Template:Archivar (Plantilla:Archivar in the local language)
3. «Ensure no AbuseFilter is triggered when the bot removes content from talk pages» Done
4. «Get ArchiverBot flagged as a bot locally»: The account does not exists locally yet. Could you login there to create it before I ask the Stewards to give it bot flag?

Thank you for your help on this. It is really appreciated. --Lsanabria (talk) 13:10, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@Lsanabria: Thanks, it looks ready to go. v:es:Usuario:ArchiverBot has been created. Can you please embed Plantilla:Archivar into a couple of discussion pages? (e.g. your user talk page) I'd like to test the bot before getting the flag. whym (talk) 09:53, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Done! I set up minthreadsleft to 15. Feel free to set it to something smaller if you need to do more than one test run. --Lsanabria (talk) 13:09, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

I took the freedom of requesting the bot flag here: [2]. I saw the edits from the bot and looks good. We really appreciate your help on this. Let me know if there are any items pending or if there is anything we can do for you :-) --Lsanabria (talk) 13:58, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I started a run of mwscript updateArticleCount.php --wiki=jawiki --update=1 manually so you don't need to wait a month. Legoktm (talk) 18:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign to encourage new ideas focusing on content review and curation in Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Whym, for some reason the ArchiverBot has not archived any topic from Talk:Title blacklist since 6 nov 2015, can you have a look please? Syum90 (talk) 11:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

It won't work (and has never worked) as expected there—it assumes every request has a level-2 ("==") heading. Other formats are not supported by archivebot.py. Please consider changing the talk page's format or seek other bot options. For long-term solutions, you might want to file a new task on Phabricator. whym (talk) 08:37, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, we're discussing about archiving this page by other bots; current discussion is at Meta:Babel#Archives_on_Talk:Title_blacklist. Thanks and regards.--Syum90 (talk) 11:58, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
