Amarcord

Caro Aubrey,

mentre orfanizzo la prima edizione de Il Bibliotecario mi è caduto l'occhio su una discussione interessante in cui tu mettevi in luce le molte attività in ballo o in sospeso che ci affliggevano nel settembre 2008: leggi qui: in quattro anni abbiamo portato a termine quasi tutto! εΔω 20:26, 20 mar 2012 (CET)

Ogni promessa è debito

Adesso, un tool per i soli apostrofi esiste, si chiama newApostrofi() e può essere chiamato con un bottone della "bottoniera", o in qualsiasi altro modo che ti sia più comodo. :-) --Alex brollo (disc.) 18:14, 25 mar 2012 (CEST)

Problema

Mentre stavo leggendo i frammenti di Saffo con la visualizzazione per la lettura cioè questa pagina in cui anche se è edizioni Wikisource penso ci sia un problema. Inoltre nella pagina prima cioè questa e in quelle prima si accavallano cioè si replicano in ogni pagina le frasi della pagina prima. Guarda inoltre che nell'indice non compaiono i titoli delle poesie o frammenti che nel testo originale ci stanno. Non lo posso fare io e ciedo venia sia perchè alcune cose penso di non saperle, sia perché sono già occupato su Quote a uniformare la numerazione dei frammenti nella voce Saffo nelle citazione e credimi non è proprio semplicissimo. Ciao :) Raoli (disc.) 19:21, 29 mar 2012 (CEST)

Re: Benvenuto

Ciao Aubrey, grazie per il benvenuto e l'aiuto offerto; è un gusto per me collaborare qui nella misura delle mie possibilità.--Taba1964 (disc.) 01:44, 30 mar 2012 (CEST)

Mio contributo al bar "mangiato"

http://it.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Bar&diff=next&oldid=1114401 : sembra che nel corso di una tua modifica sia sparito un mio commento. E' stato un incidente/un intreccio di edit o è stata una cancellazione voluta? Beninteso: se è voluta, non ho nullissima da obiettare. --Alex brollo (disc.) 12:35, 11 apr 2012 (CEST)

Testi in francese

Caro Aubrey,

Apprezzo profondamente le tue parole.Il punto menzione circa la traduzione di articoli e la necessità di riferire alla sorella wiki, richiesta di vostra cooperazione ignorare i passaggi richiesti da questa regola.Vorrei anche chiedere che cosa fare prima di articoli contenenti immagini, se è opportuno eseguire la sua trascrizione senza inserendole. (Paura che la complessità tecnica del processo di caricamento immagini su Commons, supera la mia conoscenza limitata e può generare effetti indesiderati).

Saluti, e molti grazias! --Taba1964 (disc.) 02:34, 21 apr 2012 (CEST)

Problema Scientia

Toppa messa. Esiste una funzione emergenza() (nomina numina...) richiamabile con un bottone:

newButton("emergenza","emergenza");

che recupera i dati delle pagine erroneamente svuotate in corso di caricamento. Vuoi spargere la voce? In caso di difficoltà dammi le coordinate degli utenti incastrati; studierò qualcosa di meglio, penso che sia uno dei tanti effetti di Resource Loader (che bello se s'inventassero qualcosa di meno perplingente...). --Alex brollo (disc.) 09:15, 24 apr 2012 (CEST)

Strafalcioni

Ciao, come posso rimediare a questi strafalcioni?--Italo da b (disc.) 19:09, 2 mag 2012 (CEST)

Primo congresso e primo sangue

Ciao, ti ringrazio, in effetti risulta piuttosto difficile ambientarsi in questo progetto, affascinante e per certi aspetti superiore a pedia. Un paio di domande ancora:

• Ho difficoltà a creare la Categoria:Criminologia poichè mi escono cose mostruose

Lascia stare, ci proviamo noi.

• Ho notato che su google ci sono alcune edizioni con antemprima, ciò non pregiudica la presenza contemporanea su wsource?

No.

• Le pagine bianche sono da scannerizzare anch'esse? In b/n o a colori?

Fa lo stesso, non ti preoccupare.

• Su wsource c'è la possibilità di inserire sia la versione con immagini sia quella con solo testo, ma ciò significa che le tabelle devo per forza inserirle nella versione testo oppure posso tranquillamente lasciarle come immagini?

sarebbero meglio come testo, perche sarebbero leggibili. Ma ognuno poi non è obbligato a fare nulla.

• Come posso rendere lo sfondo delle pagine a colori, ad es. un giallo paglierino o un verde acqua molto sfumato, giusto per non affaticare troppo la vista?

Chiedi ad Alex brollo :-)

Il quale ficcanasa nei messaggi altrui e quindi capta la richiesta. :-)

Io farei così: estrarrei dal pdf Google le immagini delle singole pagine in formato tiff (abbiamo un tool in python per farlo); con un batch editor di immagini aggiungerei il colore di sfondo (e chiederei lumi a Luigi61; forse il tool python può imparare a fare anche quello); poi dalle immagini tiff otterrei un djvu a colori (abbiamo un altro tool per farlo: djvuToy).

Unico problema: le immagini djvu con colore di fondo sono nettamente più pesantucce di quelle B/N.

Mi pare una proposta molto interessante, adatta a un quesito sul bar tecnico, annunciandola nel bar normale. --Alex brollo (disc.) 12:40, 3 mag 2012 (CEST)

Grazie per quanto potrai assistermi.--Italo da b (disc.) 12:13, 3 mag 2012 (CEST)

Hai un attimo?

ciao, ti vedo online. Hai un attimo da dedicarmi? Ho sbagliato a cliccare e ho creato una pagina Delle strade ferrate italiane e del miglior ordinamento di esse/Capitolo I. che invece doveva essere un'altra che avevo aperto su altra scheda Delle strade ferrate italiane e del miglior ordinamento di esse/Discorso Secondo/Capitolo I.. È stato creato un redirect che probabilmente non serve(valuti un admin..:-)ma soprattutto c'è una transclusione un po' strana (ma questo me l'aspettavo). Il Capitolo Primo comincia a metà pagina. E quindi nella NS0 si legge anche quello che non c'entra. Va bene così Oppure puoi sistemare questo pasticcino? Io proprio non ho idea. Ciao grazie e scusa. --Silvio Gallio (disc.) 09:13, 10 mag 2012 (CEST)

Trasferimenti

Ciao! Ho notato che i trasferimenti da Wikipedia sono fermi da quasi quattro anni!!! Noto che tu sei un'addetta, se potessi smaltire un po' di voci sarebbe l'ideale, altrimenti ci impantaniamo e non si va più avanti. Un saluto PandeF (disc.) 11:38, 27 mag 2012 (CEST)

SAL 100%... sei sicuro?

Caro Aubrey,

vedendo questa diff mi chiedevo se sia il caso di far tornare le "frecciate" del Rapisardi a SAL 75%. - εΔω 12:46, 15 giu 2012 (CEST)

Provo a spiegarmi meglio:

Fino al 3 gennaio 2009 il testo non aveva alcun SAL.

Il 3 gennaio 2009, inserito il numero di verso, attribuisci al testo SAL 100%, ma o hai riletto il testo dalla fonte cartacea, dato che fonti online non sono indicate, e a quel punto metti SAL Edizioni Wikisource, o non hai riletto il testo e hai posto il SAL 100% per motivi a me non chiari. Ecco perché ti scrivo. Questa segnalazione parte da questa iniziativa, che dobbiamo cercare di portare avanti. - εΔω 17:15, 15 giu 2012 (CEST)

adotta una parola va a scuola

Ciao Aubrey, Ho letto del progetto Adotta una parola va a scuola. Semplice e intelligente! Posso dirti che il mio lavoro mi porta ad essere referente di tanti istituti per progetti di lavoro innovativi e che scuola e tecnologia sono la mia passione. Mi piacerebbe dedicare energie allo sviluppo di Adotta una parola va a scuola. Se vuoi ti spiegherò nel dettaglio cosa ho in mente. A presto.

Re:Benvenuto

Grazie Aubrey

di questo nuovo benvenuto. Sì perchè ci stavo già da un po' qui dentro... come Kaeru. Ma quando ho voluto trascrivere Le satire di Giovenale, con quei dati di login non accedevo alle pagine in latino. Adesso il problema è risolto e registrandomi sul portale latino ho accesso senza problemi alle corrispondenti pagine in italiano. Grazie ancora e a prestoWill Rollo (disc.) 16:33, 27 giu 2012 (CEST)

Proposte

Caro Aubrey, avevo in mente qualcosa riguardo al Portale:Comunità (che vedi in preparazione nella mia Sandbox) e volevo parlartene.

• Puoi vedere dal link la prima sezione dedicata WikiLoveMonuments, Wikimania e collaborazioni (c'è altro?); al momento li ho inseriti in maniera piuttosto lineare, ma se avessi idee in proposito sarei ben lieto di applicarle;
• La proposta fatta da te al bar (Chiedi al bibliotecario) e quella di IPork qui potrebbero essere ben inserite nell'intro del portale (parte ancora da sistemare).

Per entrambe le proposte potrebbe essere un buon campo di prova. Fammi sapere cosa ne pensi.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 15:49, 24 lug 2012 (CEST)

• Collaborazioni era momentaneo: provo a sistemare come dici, vediamo cosa viene fuori; se preferissi qualche cosa di più (non so, banner nell'intro del portale), si può provare;
• Per il wikibibliotecario: certo, in pagina principale sarebbe ottimo; qui possiamo fare delle prove, tanto ancora è un portale in lavorazione;
• Colore: sicuro no, anzi forse il mio schermo (in cui ho di molto diminuito la luminosità) non rende a me l'idea.

Faccio qualche sistemazione; se dovessi avere qualche altro suggerimento, sono a disposizione.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 16:54, 24 lug 2012 (CEST)

A parte il colore, qualche cambiamento è stato fatto: prova a vedere e sappimi dire.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 15:04, 25 lug 2012 (CEST)

Il cambiamento, in effetti, era dovuto solo avevo dei dubbi sul suo equilibrio grafico: ho sistemato spostando una sezione a destra.
Lo small al momento l'ho rimesso perché distingue i portali dai progetti della sezione sottostante, ma il tutto è ancora da verificare.
L'altro link a WikiLovesMonuments non potrebbe servire? Una volta lo cercai inutilmente. L'ho inserito come coordinamento, a meno che ci sia un link nella prima pagina linkata che reindirizzi a quello, ma non sono riuscito a trovarlo.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 17:29, 25 lug 2012 (CEST)

Grazie per il benvenuto

Ciao Aubrey, grazie per il benvenuto. Vorrei contribuire a Wikisource rileggendo alcune pagine di poesia.--Marcello Bar (disc.) 16:32, 2 ago 2012 (CEST)

Perseus

Aubrey, ho intravisto tra le collaborazioni l'aggiunta del Perseus Project e pensavo di aggiungere anche questo link alle collaborazioni nel portale in lavorazione (beh ormai terminato, direi). Posso o ci sono ancora questioni in sospeso? Inoltre non so se l'immagine logo del sito sia passibile di essere inserita in Commons o ci sono delle limitazioni in proposito.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 16:30, 21 ago 2012 (CEST)

Fatto L'immagine, a questo punto, si cambierà a tempo debito.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 17:53, 21 ago 2012 (CEST)

PP

Tutto Eschilo a colori, stessa edizione (tu lavori su quella del 1921, questa è del '22) e già divisa in singole tragedie: è il caso di valutare inserimento indici in parallelo? --Xavier121 12:11, 28 ago 2012 (CEST)

Risposta da me. --Xavier121 11:47, 29 ago 2012 (CEST)

Ultimi dubbi sul mondo wikimedia

Aubrey, mi chiedevo se non fosse utile avere nella sezione dedicata del Portale Comunità anche Biblioteca e WikiAfrica.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 21:19, 7 set 2012 (CEST) Fatto

Romagnoli aggiornamento

Una marea di lavoro offline. Ho croppato tutto. Sto controllando ogni singola pagina per evitare errori nella composizione; a breve caricamento su Commons, comunque entro la fine di settembre dovrei farcela. --Xavier121 11:33, 11 set 2012 (CEST)

Perfetto, sei un mito. Ti stai coordinando anche con Boschetti? Ti do la sua mail? (mi serve la tua). --Aubrey McFato 12:43, 11 set 2012 (CEST)

Nuovo approccio per i nuovi utenti

Ora vorrei chiederti solo un parere su quest'altro modello per it.wikiquote: Template:Benvenuto. So che un tuo parere è indicativo perché una parte dei wikimediani la pensano come te. Se lo trovi troppo... poco...il titolo leggermente... i colori...è normale poiché dietro c'è più di quanto credi e nulla è stato lasciato al caso. Sono orgoglioso di proportelo.

Re: Bottoli

Se ti dicessi che non ci ho pensato mentirei, ma mi serve più esperienza per evitare di far danni. Riguardo al rigaintestazione non è così semplice, altrimenti l'avrebbe fatto Alex già da tempo: ogni opera ha una sua struttura e, a volte, non standard per tutte le pagine; un occhio umano è indispensabile.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 17:41, 15 nov 2012 (CET)

Non sarebbe una brutta idea; non ti dico tutto quello che mi passa per la testa, mi limito a questa fantasticheria: avere un pagina in edit con la struttura e gli strumenti di un Word (scegli pure tra OpenOffice-LibreOffice o il classico Microsoft); in realtà abbiamo già un Wikieditor, ma mi sembra debba essere scaricato e soprattutto non è opzionale tra gli accessori, il che non lo rende appettibile ai più. Inoltre la possibilità di conservare, una volta salvata la pagina, la formattazione (e non i template usati per ottenerla) così da non ritrovarci, col primo aggiornamento, con una formattazione dissimile da quella voluta e ottenuta tempo prima: lo dico perché mi è capitato di dover risistemare Pensieri e discorsi e chissà quante altre volte succede e non lo sappiamo se non quando ricontrolliamo i testi.--Barbaforcuta (disc.) 16:31, 19 nov 2012 (CET)

Categoria automatica fastidiosa

Caro Aubrey, la tua sottopagina Utente:Aubrey/Creator/preload viene automaticamente categorizzata in Categoria:Autori senza opere su Wikisource. Se trovi un trucco per evitarlo, meglio; la categoria potrebbe essere usata da un bot per individuare glui autori da spostare in Wikisource:Autore citato ed è bene che sia "pulita". --Alex brollo (disc.) 09:14, 31 dic 2012 (CET)

Iconette

Adesso le iconette sono al loro posto; ma ho dovuto, come immaginavo, dare un ritocco a MediaWiki:Common.js (e anche ritoccare l'URL chiamato dal visualizzatore di Magnus, che era puntato su en.source). Così adesso sappiamo come mettere iconcine-bottoni nel titolo riga, a destra, cosa che non è niente male. Come l'abbiano fatto su en.source, non sono riuscito a capire. :-(

Curiosità: per come l'ho fatto io, funzionerà per qualsiasi elemento div class="Top-icon-raw" in qualsiasi pagina. Vedi smiley in questa.... --Alex brollo (disc.) 07:58, 10 gen 2013 (CET)

Wikidata weekly summary #50

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
    • Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
    • Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (bugzilla:45821)
    • d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
  • Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
  • Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
  • Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
  • Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
  • Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
  • Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
  • Support for multi-line references in diff view
  • Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
  • Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
  • Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
  • Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny had a look at some data about Wikidata
• Events
  • 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
  • Wikidata trifft Archäologie
  • SMWCon Spring NYC
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
  • Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
  • Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
  • d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
  • Detailed list of bots
  • Collecting information about creating a bot
  • We’ve crossed Q8000000
• Did you know?
  • When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.

Wikidata weekly summary #51

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first 11 Wikipedias can now include data from Wikidata in their articles (If you want to see it in action see the infobox at it:Torino)
  • Worked on automatic summaries for statements
  • Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use {{#property:executive director}} instead of {{#property:p169}} for example
  • Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
  • Selenium tests for qualifiers
  • Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
  • Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
  • Proposal for a vandalism policy
  • Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on d:Q153)
  • Should Wikidata have featured items?
  • RFC about restricting the ability to create properties to some users
  • Heise.de reporting about deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias
  • Report about a collaboration event between Wikipedians and archeologists
• Events
  • Newline 2013
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
  • Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
  • Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
  • We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
  • We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
  • In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
  • We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at bugzilla:44228
  • Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: bugzilla:46461
  • Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
  • The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
  • Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
  • Wikidata was added to wikipulse
  • A template to retrieve data from Wikidata if no local value is set
• Did you know?
  • If you need to merge two items d:Help:Merge explains how
• Open Tasks for You
  • See note at the end of this weekly summary
  • Help test qualifiers (m:Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer#Qualifiers - see also example statements there) on the test wiki so we can roll it out with the next release
  • Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
  • Add some missing descriptions to those items with the same label?
  • Hack on one of these

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk)

Wikidata weekly summary #52

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
  • Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
  • Worked on improving recent changes code in client
  • Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
  • Implemented string formatter
• Discussions/Press
  • RFC for defining the bureaucrats role on Wikidata

  • There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
  • There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
  • We hit Q10000000
  • A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
• Did you know?
  • There are a number of task forces that take care of specific jobs or topics on Wikidata
  • You can get database dumps to play with
  • There are a lot of stats about Wikidata on http://stats.wikimedia.org
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hit a random item and add a missing source?

Biblioteca di agricoltura Antonio Bizzozero di Parma

Ti so ottimo conoscitore delle biblioteche di Parma, ma forse non ti sei mai occupato della Biblioteca di agricoltura Antonio Bizzozero. I testi sono di proprietà regionale, ma è stata affidata al comune di Parma che la gestisce nel'ambito della Biblioteca civica. Ho iniziato un discorso tutto sperimentale. La biblioteca è molto di nicchia (agricoltura e tematiche connesse), non ha le forze per digitalizzare i suoi testi (molti a cavallo tra l'ottocento e il novecento) come ha fatto la biblioteca La Vigna di Vicenza, ma si è mostrata interessata a tentare di radunare gli ebook disponibili di agronomia, letteratura georgica ecc. Per ora te la do solo come notizia. Se matura qualche cosa di serio chiederò il tuo aiuto, magari anche per verificare se è possibile realizzare qualche sinergia con le altre realtà parmensi.

Wikidata weekly summary #53

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
  • Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)

  • Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
  • Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
  • There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
  • If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
  • There is a new user right: property creators
  • There is now a page to request deletion of a property
  • We now have Bureaucrats
  • Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hack on one of these
  • Help draft the next weekly summary

Duemilaquattrocento

Non erano 2400 anni dalla nascita di San Ciriaco, ma dalla fondazione della città di Ancona! A questo punto è proprio necessario, secondo me, fotografarla. Ho già chiesto al comune, ora provvederò anche per la Curia. Lagrande (disc.) 07:45, 24 apr 2013 (CEST)

Il comune mi ha risposto che non è necessaria una autorizzazione se non uso le foto per scopi commerciali o pubblicitari. Per scrupolo avevo mandato loro il link al sito wikilovesmonuments.

Allora, se vedi la voce w:Italia su Wikipedia, noterai la citazione a inizio pagina di Francesco Petrarca; così, io, che ho portato la Lombardia ad essere una voce di qualità, ho notato che nel corpo della pagina c'era una citazione di Alessandro Manzoni e così, prendendo esempio da quanto fatto con la citazione di Petrarca nella voce Italia e studiandomi il template , ho fatto il collegamento diretto Wikipedia Lombardia-Capitolo XVII dei Promessi Sposi su Wikisource, con messa in evidenza la citazione in questione. Spero che tu abbia capito... Dvdsca (disc.) 09:11, 26 mag 2013 (CEST)

Frecciate

Ehm, Aubrey, come mai porti le Frecciate ad EW? Fin che si tratta di testi digital-born, ok; ma qui parliamo di una rilettura di un testo cartaceo fatta off-line da un utente notoriamente portato agli strafalcioni ortografici (in pochi secondi ne ho trovato più d'uno...) Io non mi fiderei troppo e terrei tutto al 75%. Candalùa (disc.) 15:30, 8 lug 2013 (CEST)

Perdonami, ho presunto troppa buona fede. Ho visto che erano brevissimi e mi sono detto "massì. li avrà riletti con il testo cartaceo sotto". Rollbackerò. Per le altre opere, ho trovato l'Asino di Machiavelli su Google Books, e l'ho messo su Internet Archive. Le poesie di Manzoni del Porta invece gnente, come gnente Rosmini. Bisognerebbe trovare la "Scienza in Cucina" scansionato, allora sì che faremmo un bel M&S. Aubrey McFato 16:53, 8 lug 2013 (CEST)

Boncompagni e OCR

Ciao Aubrey, è come dici tu. L'OCR non mi funzionava evidenziandomi una finestra di errore quando usavo il relativo tasto e quindi stavo digitando di sana pianta. Ora....ehm....non ridere....mi sono accorto che il testo di Boncompagni non solo esiste già in Source ma è quasi SAL 100%. Ti posso chiedere di verificare e se confermi quanto ho detto di procedere al cestinamento di quanto ho fatto?--Stefano mariucci (disc.) 12:28, 13 ott 2013 (CEST)

Domani mattina dovrei riuscire a farlo (spero). Appena ho finito ti scrivo qui. Intanto ciao, grazie e buona serata.--Stefano mariucci (disc.) 20:02, 13 ott 2013 (CEST)

Buongiorno Aubrey, ti confermo di aver ultimato i collegamenti. Ora se vuoi puoi cancellare il mio doppione. Nei prosimi giorni provvederò a proseguire la rilettura dell'opera già esistente (inserita da Snark) e portarla a SAL 100%. Buona giornata. Caio.--Stefano mariucci (disc.) 06:20, 14 ott 2013 (CEST)
