Congratulations for the stub creation, they are good (and better that those handmade stubs in other languages). About the Wikidata placeholder project, it sounds very interesting. 2015-09-06 2:40 GMT+02:00 Anders Wennersten : > Geonames [1] is a database which holds

Thanks for this Ivan! The last time I enjoyed Wikimania talks were Wikimania Argentina (2009), because there were some in Spanish too. I can write in English but listening is a bit hard for me. Subtitles are necessary to make the talks accessible to everybody, not only non-English speakers but

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Future of Wikipedia

It is interesting to see the reactions, but it just shows the change in how information is saved, disseminated and consumed, from analog to digital medium. I am more worried about how many encyclopedias have closed in the last years. We are moving to a world where Wikipedia is the de facto

Re: [Wikimedia-l] A proposal towards a multilingual Wikipedia

This may work very fine for little stubs about repetitive stuff, like the introductions of cities (location, population, foundation date, country, etc). But, how will that work for the rest of sections of Berlin (history, geography, politics...)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin 2013/8/7

Re: [Wikimedia-l] A proposal towards a multilingual Wikipedia

Most times the best approach is a compilation of several approaches. Perhaps we can use the Denny system for the little introduction of articles (for example: geography, biographies) and optional automatic translation for the rest of the article. I mean, if you follow a red link in a little
