“ Issue is knowing the contractual arrangements, so look to see who is claiming copyright. Though to stop any fuss on the matter and arguments at Commons, if they are needed, then would say upload them to Wikisource and tag not to be moved. One wonders how many volunteers we would get to edit the work, those sorts of work usually need someone to drive a standard formatting type, and if it has lots of quirky formatting that tends to make things not happen. It would definitely need a project to manage it and someone willing to drive it. ”

“ The final version of the "single user login" (which allows people to use the same username on different Wikimedia wikis) is moved to August 2013. The software will automatically rename some usernames. A new discussion system for MediaWiki, called "Flow", is under development. Wikimedia designers need your help to inform other users, test the prototype and discuss the interface. . The Wikimedia Foundation is hiring people to act as links between software developers and users for VisualEditor. ”

“ The exception is MediaWiki default. This is not a normal bot account. It is the default username to which content diffs are ascribed whenever internal changes to MediaWiki, or the running of internal MediaWiki scripts, result in apparent changes to content. It appears that we do have the ability as a community to determine whether we want to flag this account as a bot or not. ”

“ I like using frameless only with the knowledge that someone can make it larger or smaller by going to their preferences.
It seemed that since you were working with sizing images based on their containers, I was hoping there might be a simple way to size a text cell based on its container. So for the page you edited, the frameless image parameter (default 220px) sets the width of the text box beneath it. Currently, if I were to remove the breaks from the text cell, it would expand the image cells border too ”

“ The new interface for account creation and log-in is now the default on 30 wikis, including the English Wikipedia, Commons, Meta, and Wikidata. The feature will be added to all wikis after June 5. Users can return to the old look by adding ?useNew=0 to the web address. Videos are now played in pop-up windows if their size on the page is smaller than 200 pixels (800 pixels on the English Wikipedia) . Opening your talk page now marks notifications as read, for wikis using the Notifications feature. (bug 47912) . All autoconfirmed users can now reset transcoding of video files ”

“ This is easy from the Tumblr side of things but the process for arranging this is on the Wikisource side is a little vague. Any such person will need a Tumblr account and I don't think they need to set up a primary blog if they don't want one. Presumably, some Wikisource community approval will be required. There is a voting section on WikiProject Social media but it doesn't get enough attention at the moment to fulfil it's own requirements. ”

“ A software update will perhaps result in temporary issues with images. Please report any problems you notice. MediaWiki recognizes links in twelve new schemes. Users can now link to SSH, XMPP and Bitcoin directly from wikicode. VisualEditor was added to all content namespaces on mediawiki.org on May 20. A new extension ("TemplateData") was added to all Wikipedia sites on May 20. It will allow a future version of VisualEditor to edit templates. New sites: Greek Wikivoyage and Venetian Wiktionary joined the Wikimedia family last week; the total number of project wikis is now 794. ”

“ The lack of any specific & supportable replies by the Commission, the RNC, the DNC and similar to date only makes me more concerned that the Commission is indeed the "technical" rights holder in these narrow election debate cases. The fact they don't seem to profit any by reproducing or packaging the debate content only means they are staying within the tax laws they must operate under while bolstering their credibility, etc. in the process - it is not evidence contrary to the idea of the Commission being the legitimate copyright holder. ”

“ The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.
Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time. ”

“ It is post pumpkin hour, so I am probably a bit slow, however, I am not catching the gist of your example of work, or what you are looking to do. Generally for works that are out of copyright, and in the public domain we put the scans at Commons, only hosting scans here where they are not in the public domain in their home country, so cannot be at Commons. Are you talking specimen images alone, or specimen and text? ”

“ What to do about employee authors? While having a thump at reducing this list of missing author pages, it highlights a bit of a conundrum with regard to press releases, and works of primarily corporate authorship. On pages like E-3 damaged while landing at Nellis the page has been prepared by an employee of the defence force, as part of their duties, and the article in itself is not a view/opinion of the author. We can try to look to maintain author pages for people for whom we may not get any data, or we can look to a different approach. ”

“ There's at least one person at PGDP who has had it on his to-do list for years, but they're monsters; they have their own phonetic alphabet and ridiculous amounts of text per page. The general opinion was that the copyright on the post-1922 volumes was not something that needed to be worried about; by the time you reached them in the transcription process, they would be out of copyright. The 1928 volumes will be PD in the US in 2024. ”

“ Before every project opening, there is a incubation test. There is no other possibility than waiting to have a active community on scores/music/songs/etc. Nonetheless, we could think about it and how to do it (eg. about the perimeter which is not clear to me) . Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 15:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC) Help with a blog post? I'd like to highlight Wikimedia's new usage of Score with a WMF blog post that points to specific scores on Wikisource, Wikipedia, and any other project that's using them. ”

“ I don't think they are much interested in free competition from themselves. I concur with Billinghurst, I wouldn't put the 1923 to 1928 volumes on here until we have a strong claim that the copyright has expired on those volumes. You may want to discuss with Dan O'Huiginn on GitHub who seems to be interested in such a project. ”

“ Not very convincing imo.The case law that I've read pretty much makes this a work for hire-ish type of copyright scenario - though no monies were paid to create/participate/perform the content (the debate) . The agreement secured prior to the actual content "creation" only means some content was expected and no matter what that content wound up being in reality, the actual creator (s) of the content had already agreed to waive / share the rights to it via some agreement. ”

“ The Nearby feature allows people who use mobile devices to see Wikipedia articles about objects and places around them. Future software changes The PostEdit feature is now part of MediaWiki, and will work on all wikis. (bug 48726) The Narayam and WebFonts extensions will be replaced by the Universal Language Selector extension. MediaWiki will now be updated every week, starting on June 6. ”

“ Copyright tags for presidential debate transcripts, among other things I noticed that there's a lot of presidential debates transcribed here without a proper copyright tag. As far as I can tell from case law, speech is not copyrightable unless it is from prepared remarks, so I've just been applying {{PD-ineligible}} to them all. But I think that live debates and interviews deserve a special tag explaining the situation. I'd appreciate any input, seeing as IANAL, and not a particularly good template-maker either. ”

“ Without a replacement (and strctly in my humble opinion) - the best accommodation I would offer up here (since it seems to be all proofread already) is to subst:itute the existing content into a new stand-alone & non-transcluded mainspace work, delete the Index: and related Pages, delete the incorrectly WS domain uploaded PDF file and explain to the User why all that is being done. -- George Orwell III (talk) 03:28, 1 May 2013 (UTC) I presume that your subtext is that creating a faux scan of text is of no real value, and we may as well just have the text. ”

“ If you have a poem or a song within tags, and need to transclude specific stanzas from it that are labeled with section tags, nothing appears. Why don't section tags work within poem tags? Dovi (talk) 06:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC) Something to do with tags not being re-entrant in their "<" forms—the same problem as discussed in w:Wikipedia:REFNEST. Therefore it may be possible to solve the problem by replacing the "Blah" tags with "{{#tag:poem|Blah}}". ”

“ Can we randomize things deemed by the community as highlights? So that quality and complete high brow works can be mixed with pig swill... Yeah, it is another thing to keep track of for us, but I think that's what we're getting at anyway. - Theornamentalist (talk) 00:34, 12 May 2013 (UTC) For example, Author:Florence Earle Coates to me is worthy of highlighting; I think LJB has cataloged all her works. - Theornamentalist (talk) 00:37, 12 May 2013 (UTC) Rotating components through is definitely possible, the pun on my user page does that daily ”

“ Another alternative is that you email the detail to [email protected], and it will be stored in the OTRS system. All of these have other eyes staring at them, so none of it is perfect security. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC) In this case, Tumblr doesn't work that way. In order for the tumbleblog to, potentially, accommodate multiple people it is a "secondary blog" (personal blogs are "primary blogs") . ”

“ AdamBMorgan's project on Tumblr is beautiful and well-organized. The man cannot be perfect but one would not know it by looking at his Tumblr website.

“ I started a talk about hiding the vorbis player when using score with vorbis=1 , feel free to comment if you think about a better user interface. — Phe 23:11, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Looking for an excuse to have a play? There are plenty of pages out there tagged as needing a score. Unfortunately their categorisation is a bit of a mess: you'll find them in Category:Pages requiring musical examples, Category:Pages containing sheet music and Category:Texts with missing musical scores. ”

“ I like the idea of such a blog post, however with the parser choking on even relatively straightforward snippets (for example, Page:A Dictionary of Music and Musicians vol 1.djvu/452 where I've had to comment out the lyrics so that at least the notes will show) it's too early to circulate an invitation to the wider music community. Once it's working as per the tin, then I'd be happy to assist. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 02:18, 14 May 2013 (UTC) Beeswaxcandle - ok, let's wait to publish the blog post until that bug is fixed, but will you help me write it and then hold it in readiness to publish? ”

“ In the case that you describe maybe it would be enough having in the French version only. Anyway, here is the Request for comments in meta.--Micru (talk) 15:45, 24 April 2013 (UTC) We only just got the score extension turned on. Also, the vast majority of works with scores are going to be predominantly written in some natural language. There will only be a very small number of works that are, first and foremost, a score, and cannot properly be hosted in any particular natural language subdomain. I think these should be hosted at the language-neutral Wikisource for now. ”

“ Would it be possible to set our sites "frameless" parameter to something larger than 220px by default? I mean, most editors don't use frameless because it is small, but I imagine if it defaulted to say, 300px, it might be more attractive for editors to free up the hardcoded image widths. A simple -/+ Image size in the display options could make us one of the best sites for viewing images on any device. - Theornamentalist (talk) 12:56, 5 May 2013 (UTC) You mean like...
