Hi, I am user meta:user:Walter. I respectfully request this community to consider my following request; I write a newsletter about what is going on in the Wikimedia projects in all languages. It is my hope that every community, like this one, has some people who read Wikizine. Then I can maybe receive some news from those readers about your project and in the other direction the can inform there community in your own language about the Wikimedia news possibly. I would like to ask this community to include on this page on the top and/or a relevant page a small banner for Wikizine.

If a banner is placed here on the correct page the change that someone here will think about Wikizine and report some local news will increase highly I suspect. Or that people will take a look and read the Wikimedia news. And maybe even share it locally. Here are the banners; meta:Wikizine/banners

My apologies that this is in English and the Wikizine is also in English. But there is not other way to do this. If there are questions please ask it here. I will be watching this page for two weeks from now frequently. Greetings, --Walter 14:36, 20 Iulii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Things to Do

recencere

Please list anything down here.


Historia Romana

recencere

(EN) I'm new to this wiki, and it looks like there's not much going on. Perhaps a fitting topic to work on would be roman and ancient history. I don't have much time, but I'd be willing to work on it a little. What do people think?

(LA) Novus apud hanc vici sum ac nihili mihi multum volutum videt. Fortasse res operem dandi apta sit historia romana antiquaque. mihi temporis non multum est, sed rarum operem dare propensus sum. quid sentitis? Mogle 24:21, 1 Decemberis 2006 (UTC)

(EN) Hi! If you plan to create textbook-style content, then Vicilibri is the right place here. If you plan to work on encyclopedic content (objectivity, relying on sources), you might want to consider the sister project Vicipaedia, the free encyclopedia written in Latin. As a starting point, you may want to take a look at w:Categoria:Imperium Romanum or w:Categoria:Roma antiqua. Greetings, --UV 23:13, 1 Decembris 2006 (UTC)[reply]
(LA) Fortasse Vicipaediam Latinam inspicere vis, encyclopaediam liberam Lingua Latina scriptam? --UV 23:13, 1 Decembris 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move Source Material to Vicifons

recencere

There are hundreds of things that we need to do. Something that anyone can do is tag articles which need moving to Vicifons. Do this by putting in the template {{Vicifons}}. Articles tagged with this are listed in Categoria:Vicifons. Dbmag9 16:56, 30 Maii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you see an article here tagged with {{Vicifons}} but it is already there, please change {{Vicifons}} in the text to {{Vicifons2|NAme of article}}. See Wikibooks:Vectura for more information. Dbmag9 12:51, 1 Iunii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translate Interface

At the moment I'm concentrating on system messages which appear regularly. If you see one, list it below. Dbmag9 16:56, 30 Maii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • All the editing commands.
  • Loads more.

Build a Community

recencere

There is no community here. That is not good. People, when you come here, stay here, and get other people to come here. I will soon make a welcoming message for new users. Please, make people, new and old, welcome here! Dbmag9 16:56, 30 Maii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Make useful Content

recencere

Vicilibri and Vicifons are two very different things. Vicilibri is for textbook-style content that you have made yourself, while Vicifons is for public source material that is notable for some reason. They are both important and useful, but they are very different. Please don't confuse them further. Dbmag9 16:56, 30 Maii 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We need a purpose here. We have a general one: Vicilibri is for textbook-style content that you have made yourself, but this is not enough. Please put below clear ideas about what you want from Vicilibri.

  • Vicilibri should be something that people who speak Latin (yes, I know, there are no native speakers) can go to, and learn how to do something. Dbmag9 16:02, 6 Iunii 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • la.wikibooks will have only books written for the pleasure of writing in latin. There are no speakers and making a book is a more complex thing than writing a dictionary voice or an enciclopedic one this make, this site one of the most slowgrowing wm project. So now ve have only 0 pages. I can put here all my experience of it.books sysop and my poor latin. I will traslate here the latin book. let's try. The Doc 19:25, 5 Iunii 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I noticed that the Latin Literature deserves from little to no space to technical and medieval textbooks. Even if I understand that this should be a point of collision with Vicifons, the inclusion of such prose (according to criteria to be discussed and shared with Vicifons) would prevent this project to be completely empty. What about this?
    • I'll take my poor English and my poorer NeoLatin to help any scriptor willing to tinker with latin prose composition (as I currently do at la.wikipedia). My experience in wikibooks is near to zero, but where I don't reach, others will. εΔω
