[Wikimedia-l] Generated texts

Hoi, We have often had discussions about generating texts to be used in Wikipedia articles. The drawback of articles that are generated in this way is that they do not get updated as more information becomes available. The data in Wikidata is comparable with the kind of data often used in such pr

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Generated texts

Hi Gerard, The problem that I have with Wikidata and automatically generated content like the reasonator does is: how do you know when has the script and the data reached an acceptable level? I've tested Reasonator a little with Romanian vilages and found errors in both the Wikidata fields and in

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Generated texts

Hoi, There are two parts to your question. - When is the available data good enough - When is the script that does the text generation good enough The second is something that you can help with. When it is good enough for one item that is really well developed like JS Bach, it is good enoug

Hi Andy, that message comes up when the JavaScript is broken. I just tried the Bach link, and it works fine for me. Probably a stale browser cache; force-reloading the page should help. Cheers, Magnus On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 8:27 PM, Andy Mabbett wrote: > Your link has "gone very wrong". I woul

Your link has "gone very wrong". I would wait the suggested half hour before telling you this, but by then I hope to be asleep. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk On Feb 7, 2014 4:42 PM, "Gerard Meijssen" wrote: > Hoi, > > We have often had discussions about generating t

[Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

Hi, I just got a message that the Finnish Police have asked the fi.wikipedia, by sending an email to the wikifi-ad...@list.wikimedia.org, to give a written statement about their possible violation of the laws that regulate fundraising in Finland. There is a little news about this already onlin

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

It’s incredible that some governments think they "own" the language(s) mainly spoken in their country: fi.wikipedia.org is in Finnish but not related to Finland (non-Finnish people could visit fi.wikipedia.org, and Finnish people could visit other language Wikipedias). And it’s sad if they

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

My Finnish is hardly perfect, but the letter essentially outlines the Finnish law regarding what is and what isn't money collection activities, and then compares what goes on with fi.wikipedia.org with the relevant Finnish statutes, concluding that the fundraising campaign is in fact a money collec

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

In Australia, we (Wikimedia Australia) had to get fundraising approval before the 2010 fundraiser (when the chapters accepted and processed the payments and then passed a share back to the Wikimedia Foundation). This was made more complicated due to the fundraising laws being a state issue rather

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

I would dispute the suggestion the Finnish Wikipedia is specific to Finland; I read it regularly and have never been to Finland. There are at a bare minimum something like 300,000 fluent Finnish speakers who don't live in Finland (and I don't think that's counting the portion of Swedes who speak F

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

Most importantly for all this, the SERVERS are not hosted in Finland (unless something snuck in there behind my back). Under US and EU laws, I would think there's no Finnish jurisdiction over where the servers are located. If the Finnish Police are asserting authority over any website written in

Of course it's not a strict 1:1 ratio! But I was comparing it to (for example) English or Spanish, which the country of origin represent a minority of all speakers worldwide. Charles On Sat, Feb 8, 2014 at 12:54 PM, Kevin Gorman wrote: > I would dispute the suggestion the Finnish Wikipedia i

Hello all, We are handling this issue, and we are contacting the authorities to resolve their questions. If you receive any official inquires about fundraising on Finnish Wikipedia, please direct them to the Wikimedia Foundation legal team, to me or Andrei Voinigescu (avoinige...@wikimedia.org).
