Yes, but Wikipedia would have no easy way to gauge the intentionality behind it, at least in this case we have good reason to believe that they're acting on behalf of the subject of the biography, and can treat anything they say accordingly, if it was just a random web page then we don't even have that. -- -Ian Woollard ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
Re: [WikiEN-l] "Fixed our client’s Wikipedia page."
It's not clear if they understand Wikipedia's image licensing policy. The way that article is phrased, it sounds like they are licensing the picture to Wikipedia. The article also has this: To mitigate this, we wrote an official biography on our client’s site. This biography carried more weight than the online citations used by other Wiki editors. which sounds like a classic case of having to jump through hoops. since the information would be equally accurate whether they created a page for it or not.___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
[WikiEN-l] [ResourceLoader] JavaScript may break on your wiki: Fix it before that happens
Greetings, As you may know, the Wikimedia teach team has started to upgrade MediaWiki on some wikis. MediaWiki is the software that runs all Wikimedia wikis. The most visible change for Wikimedia users will be the deployment of ResourceLoader [1]. ResourceLoader optimizes the use of JavaScript in MediaWiki, speeding up its delivery by compressing it sometimes, and cutting down on the amount of unused JavaScript that gets delivered to the browser in the first place. The installation of ResourceLoader may cause compatibility issues with existing JavaScript code. Trevor Parscal and Roan Kattouw, the main developers of ResourceLoader, will be available on IRC [2] on Monday, February 14th, at 18:00 (UTC) [3], to answer questions and help fix issues related to ResourceLoader. *If you maintain JavaScript code on your home wiki, please attend.* Don't wait until your wiki's JavaScript is all broken. Please spread this information as widely as possible; it's critical to reach as many local JavaScript maintainers as possible. Logs of the session will be published publicly.
