[Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia Zero in Google search result
Hi, I noticed that when I'm searching on Google, many Wikipedia results are in the form of lang-code.zero.wikipedia.org, perhaps just since a day or two ago. I'm not sure what items are indexed this way, but it would really be a trouble - there is no link on the page that jumps you to the standard site (even the notice links to main page of m.wikipedia.org, not the corresponding article on m.wikipedia.org) Regards, Benjamin Chen / [[User:Bencmq]] ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

Re: [Wikimedia-l] endangered languages project - Tool for map representation
Hi, I foward this mail to design, since it seems relevant here. As far as I know, currently there is no other way to create (world)maps than taking some existing blank one, and put the color on regions of interest. Maybe it would be intersting to have such a tool online, but more important, to ease contributors ability to make interactive maps, which enable readers to see how a phenomenon evolved/is evolving through time. What do you think ?

Do you know if their solution to create interactive map is free software? I would love to have such a tool within wikimedia. To my mind, it would be really useful for geographic and historical articles. Having a tool that would enable to watch events propagation through time and localisation on a map would be awesome, and it seems to me that their software is almost all that. Hi Mathieu, I don't know anything about this project beyond what's on the site -- I just ran across it. From what I can tell the user-submitted language data is CC-by but unfortunately they seem to be using Google Maps for the map interface. -- phoebe -- Association Culture-Libre http://www.culture-libre.org/ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
