Changing it on one date doesn't exclude changing it again on another. I dont know if that is a common concept around the world, but if I can find an excuse to party twice for the same thing, I want to do that! Lodewijk 2011/1/6 MZMcBride > Lodewijk wrote: > > wouldn't it be nice to change the l

"The other Wikipedias weren't started on that date, so they have nothing to celebrate or commemorate." The anniversary is not just about English Wikipedia. If this was just English Wikipedia's celebration, there certainly wouldn't be more than 100 events organized in dozens of countries and on eve

Re: [Foundation-l] January 15 retro?

Wikipedia was started on that date, wasn't it? True, other Wikipedias didn't exist yet, but I don't think that makes it any less significant. If you speak a non-English language as your native tongue and wish therefore to not make any fuss about the date, feel free, but I'm certain it won't just be

Chinese Wikipedia is just planning for change the logo in the mid January. Discussion is going on in VP, and the logo is http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/File:10piece-chinese-L_k_2.svg . Chinese Wikipedia is also using JavaScript on common.js to use the logo stored in local but not commons. Some

Me too. Using the old logo is emphazising the cohesion of Wikipedia as one project. On other occasions there can be other logos. Kind regards Ziko 2011/1/6 KIZU Naoko : > I support Lodewijk and Delphine. Wikipedia 10 logo is fine, but it's > less impulsive. > > 2011/1/6 Delphine Ménard : >> On
