Resolved or old threads will be moved to the archive after a few days. If you can't find your message here, it's probably over there.

your expertise

Hello there! I see that you may have the expertise needed to verify en:n:Fifth Summer Esperanto Study takes place in Nitra, Slovakia. Would you mind taking a look? Ragettho (talk) 21:57, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the sources are in Slovak. I have a basic fluency in Esperanto (as evidenced by my note at the author's talk page) but Slovak is a long shot, I can understand maybe 50-60% of the sources' content. In any case, I'm rather persona non grata at Wikinews and don't feel comfortable editing there - I made an exception to my wikibreak because the topic is related to one of my principal hobbies.

Can't someone use google translate to help verify the content ? That's been done before. If all else fails, I'll step in, verify it, and maybe publish it. Esperanto needs more publicity ... Tempodivalse [talk] 22:44, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

My sincerest apologies for not responding quickly enough. I was unexpectedly busy the past few days, and couldn't review the article. Pi zero has failed it as stale. :(

Sorry to hear that you haven't been accepted by the community lately. It's such a shame... Wikinews doesn't seem to have been doing well lately. Ragettho (talk) 05:02, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Sigh. Well, a failure for being stale is the kiss of death. Anything, except that, could be fixed, but now the article is as good as deleted.

I'm sort of a controversial figure at WN; I've blown enough whistles to make some people unhappy. I'm sorry to see wikinews slowing down so badly, it's even worse than I remember it (I've been occasionally checking in there). Tempodivalse [talk] 15:09, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

Can you instate my rollback rights please? --Thepoliticalmaster (talk) 18:42, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Your rollback right was removed due to concerns about abuse at other wikis. I granted the right not knowing all the details. I'm not inclined to give it back now, seeing as you're blocked on several wikis and are banned on most Wikimedia IRC channels. I also have doubts that you're interested in assisting this project or actively monitoring it. I don't trust you at this time, sorry. Tempodivalse [talk] 01:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

OpenGlobe

I just haven't found any space to congratulate you formally, thus I decided on your talk page on the Simple English Wiktionary...

I just want to say, I support your actions in forking Wikinews to form OpenGlobe. I see it as a promising project and though I would love to help out, I just do not have the talent in writing news articles.

I wish you luck for your new project, but still continue contributing to the Simple English Wiktionary! Best wishes! --Hydriz (talk) 13:02, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, I don't have plans to stop editing here. :-) But please, do try and contribute! Who knows, you may be better at writing news than you think. We need all the help we can get, and I think you'd make a very good reporter. Tempodivalse [talk] 17:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL

Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to translate and review the notification that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages m:Rename practices and m:Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 17:09, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
