Overleg gebruiker:AWossink/Archief 2015

Hallo AWossink, en welkom op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia!

Welcome message in English

Hartelijk dank voor je belangstelling voor Wikipedia! We werken hier aan het ideaal van een vrij beschikbare, vrij bewerkbare, volledige en neutrale gemeenschapsencyclopedie. We waarderen het enorm als ook jij hieraan wilt bijdragen!

De Nederlandstalige Wikipedia is sinds 19 juni 2001 online en telt inmiddels 2.157.027 artikelen. In de loop van de jaren zijn er voor het schrijven of bewerken van artikelen en voor de onderlinge samenwerking een aantal uitgangspunten en richtlijnen geformuleerd. Neem die als nieuwkomer ter harte. Lees ook eerst even de informatie in dit venster voordat je aan de slag gaat. Geen van de richtlijnen heeft kracht van wet, want Wikipedia is en blijft vóór alles vrij bewerkbaar, maar een beetje houvast voordat je in het diepe springt kan nooit kwaad.

• De vijf pijlers van Wikipedia
  Uitgangspunten en richtlijnen in vijf regels
• Snelcursus
  Leer stap-voor-stap bewerken in een ogenblik
• Tips voor het schrijven van een goed artikel
  Slimme aanwijzingen van ervaren Wikipedianen
• Dingen die je beter niet kunt doen
  Veelgemaakte fouten en hoe je ze vermijdt
• Conventies en relevantie
  Nuttige hulp voor het schrijven van een nieuw artikel
• Portaal:Hulp en beheer
  Algemene handleiding van Wikipedia
• Zandbak
  Voor het experimenteren met bewerken
• Helpdesk
  Voor al je vragen over Wikipedia en over zaken buiten Wikipedia
• Veelgestelde vragen
  Antwoorden op de meest gehoorde vragen
• Coachingsprogramma
  Een coach helpt je bij jouw eerste stappen op Wikipedia

Deze pagina, die nu op je scherm staat, is trouwens je persoonlijke overlegpagina, de plaats waar je berichten van andere Wikipedianen ontvangt en ze kunt beantwoorden. Iedere gebruiker heeft zo'n pagina. Wil je een nieuw overleg met iemand anders beginnen, dan kan dat dus op zijn of haar overlegpagina. Sluit je bijdragen op overlegpagina's altijd af met vier tildes, dus zo: ~~~~. Een druk op de handtekeningknop (zie afbeelding) heeft hetzelfde effect: je bericht wordt automatisch ondertekend met je gebruikersnaam en de datum en tijd waarop je je boodschap voltooide. Versturen doe je met de knop "Wijzigingen publiceren".

Support request with team editing experiment project

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.

Bericht in de kroeg

Beste AWossink,

Gezien dit bericht in de kroeg is een reactie van uw kant misschien wenselijk. Het is nu voor de gemeenschap niet helemaal duidelijk wat uw functie precies inhoudt en naar aanleiding van de nieuwsbrief komt het denk ik een beetje verkeerd over. (Wat overigens niet verwonderlijk is). Ziet u misschien kans om dit te verduidelijken? Bij voorbaat dank!.

Vragen

Geachte heer AWossink,

Hierboven alsmede in WP:De kroeg (waar u gelukkig wel antwoordde) staan diverse vragen die op antwoord wachten. Geen uitstekend begin voor een betaalde kracht. Ping uw werkgeefster en een van uw trouwste projectmedewerkers. Terzijde: als <citaat>casual editors</citaat> in driedelig grijs of een ander net kostuum bewerken, zijn ze dan white collar editors en minacht u ze dan minder? Collegiale groeten,  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  12 mei 2015 08:49 (CEST)

AWossink moet dit voor zichzelf bepalen, maar ik vraag me in dit geval af of het echt zinvol is om te reageren. De enige vragen die ik nog zie staan hebben betrekking op de persoonlijke opvatting van hemzelf, die naar mijn indruk de oorsprong hebben op de Engelstalige Wikipedia waar men wat minder open staat voor bewerkingen gedaan vanaf een IP-adres.

En KlaasZ4usV, zou je voortaan verwoordingen als "trouwste" voor je kunnen laten? Dank! Het slaat namelijk nergens op. Ik neem deel in een aantal wikiprojecten samen met andere gebruikers, omdat door een dergelijke samenwerking een beter resultaat behaald wordt voor de artikelen van Wikipedia. Romaine (overleg) 12 mei 2015 15:47 (CEST)

De spijker op z'n kop, beste Romaine. Ik had niet gedacht dat je boos zou worden om dat woordje. Had je liever gezien: hardst werkende? Vermoedelijk gebruikt de heer Wossink nog 1 of meer sokpoppen [ik zou zijn IP-adres(sen) er buiten laten, maar dit terzijde] op de WP's van de talen die hij kent, maar daar heb ik eerlijk gezegd geen boodschap aan. Kennelijk heeft hij dat bij het solliciteren bij mevrouw Rientjes in zijn curriculum vitae gezet en was ze daar gevoelig voor en kan hij betaald gaan meewerken (of slechts leiding geven?). Ik heb veel meer respect voor jou en alle anderen die dat vrijwillig doen en (nu spreek ik even niet voor mezelf, want ik ben geen lid) ook nog contributie betalen. Werken en nog geld toegeven ook. Het moet niet veel gekker worden.  Klaas `Z4␟` V:  13 mei 2015 09:48 (CEST)

Bibliotheken en de Nederlandstalige wikiversiteit

Hallo AWossink,

Onlangs heb ik contact gezocht met bibliotheek Zuid-Kennemerland om eens te praten over de Nederlandstalige wikiversiteit (een zusterproject van Wikipedia). Zelf denk ik dat de wikiversiteit interessant kan zijn voor de bibliotheken. Ben jij bekend met de Nederlandstalige wikiversiteit? Graag maak ik een keer een belafspraak om kennis te maken en te horen wat jouw plannen zijn. Misschien dat we elkaar kunnen versterken?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Tim Ruijters, Timboliu (overleg) 15 mei 2015 23:34 (CEST)

Ontmoete Wikimedianen: uitnodiging

Hallo AWossink, Op de Duitstalige Wikipedia heeft men al een aantal jaar een systeem waarin gebruikers die elkaar in levende lijve ontmoet hebben kunnen bevestigen dat ze elkaar kennen. Dit systeem heeft men bedacht om meer vertrouwen tussen gebruikers onderling te scheppen en zodoende een prettigere sfeer te creëren op de wiki. Op de Duitstalige Wikipedia is dit een groot succes en ik heb daarom enkele jaren terug het grootste gedeelte van dat systeem vertaald naar het Nederlands om ook op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia een prettigere werksfeer te creëren. Het zou daarom leuk zijn als meer gebruikers zich aanmelden. Het heeft pas zin om je aan te melden in het systeem als minstens drie andere gebruikers in levende lijve hebt ontmoet. Wij hebben elkaar al eens ontmoet bij bijeenkomsten waar ook andere gebruikers aanwezig waren, dus dat zit wel goed. Als je je aangemeld hebt, kun je pas andere gebruikers bevestigen dat je ze ontmoet hebt, als drie gebruikers jou reeds bevestigd hebben. Over het gehele systeem is meer informatie te vinden op Wikipedia:Ontmoete Wikimedianen. In het groene kader staan de instructies. Op Wikipedia:Ontmoete Wikimedianen/Deelnemers probeer ik een overzicht bij te houden van gebruikers die actief zijn op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia. Het zou leuk zijn als je je aanmeldt! :-) Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 11 okt 2015 05:18 (CEST)

PS: Nu je meer gebruikers hebt ontmoet, hoop ik dat je deze uitnodiging nog eens wilt overwegen. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 29 nov 2015 14:55 (CET)

GLAM

Hallo Arne, Dank je voor het updaten van de GLAM-pagina. Daar was die pagina zeker aan toe en ik ben blij dat dit nu gebeurd is. Ten aanzien van dit. Er is steeds meer de tendens om niet slechts één schrijfdag te hebben, maar een serie, omdat alleen bij een serie de deelnemers echt bedreven kunnen worden in het bewerken van Wikipedia, terwijl slechts één dag erg kort is. Daarom zat ik te denken dat we op een of andere manier kenbaar moeten maken dat er ook de mogelijkheid bestaat van een serie, sterker nog, dat dat meer voorkeur heeft omwille van de continuïteit. Als je een andere manier weet om dit tot uitdrukking te brengen zie ik het graag. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 18 dec 2015 14:15 (CET)

Tech News: 2016-02

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Wikimedia no longer uses visitor statistics from comScore. [265]
• You can make interactive graphs with the Graph extension. There is now a tutorial for how to do this. [266]

Problems

• Some pages do not turn in up in categories where they should be. This is because link tables are sometimes not populated. [267]

Changes this week

• The Nuke extension will work with Flow. This will make it easier to handle spam in Flow. [268]
• New file uploads will now be patrollable. [269]
• Internet Explorer 8 will no longer have JavaScript support. You will still be able to browse and edit Wikipedia if you use Internet Explorer 8, but will not be able to use some features. This can be solved by upgrading to a newer version or switching to a different browser. [270][271]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 January at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• URLs in the recent changes IRC feed will no longer be rewritten to unencrypted HTTP. This could be a breaking change for bots dependent on the IRC feed. [272]
• The edit tabs for the wikitext editor and the visual editor will be combined to one single edit tab. You will be able to choose which one you prefer. If you are not logged in, your choice will be saved as a cookie in your browser. You can test the single edit tab. [273][274]
• There is a beta feature that adds links to the subject on other Wikimedia projects. This works much like the links to for example Wikipedia articles in other languages. It will go out of beta testing and be enabled for everyone in January. Wikis that don't want this can decide to have it disabled. [275][276]
• The difference between "alerts" and "messages" notifications is unclear to some. The developers want feedback at the Phabricator task or on MediaWiki.org so they can make this better. You can give feedback in your language if you can't write in English.
