[edit] SieBot

Please give a bot bit to SieBot, so it will not flood your RC as it adds interwiki links using pywikipedia's interwiki.py. SieBot is active on 200 Wikipedias. See the user page of the bot for more details, or check a complete overview of its activities here. Cheers! Siebrand (talk) Siebrand 16:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Already done. —Pathoschild 00:45:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Synthebot

Dear all, this is to request a bot flag for Synthebot. Its technical information is summarized below.

  • Operator: Julian Mendez
  • Automatic or Manually Assisted: mostly automatic in autonomous mode; sometimes manually assisted to solve interwiki conflicts
  • Programming Language(s): pywikipedia (source code)
  • Function Summary: interwiki links
  • Already has a bot flag on: global bot running on more than 200 wikipedias.

Further technical information is available on its main page. Thank you in advance. Regards, --Julian 18:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Not done; a local bot flag is no longer needed. This is a global bot, and this wiki recently enabled global bots. —Pathoschild 00:46:58, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Anonymous editors

I am an anonymous user, so any anonymous IP accounts that have been popping up are me. I'm helping out to make this Wikipedia better. 71.125.32.56 20:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Three years and not a single article.

Hi, this wikipedia has been around since 2002, not even the main page is there. There is not a single article around. Just some photos. Any indication that this project is not completely dead?--213.6.210.38 13:27, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Restart

I'm leading the initative to restart this project! Am a now an admin, and I have started contacting a few people to try and organize this relaunch. -- Zanimum 19:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

That's good. I hope that there a speaker of Inupiaq among your contacts. I see that you link a number of articles from the front page. As these articles are completely void of content, I cannot see the point in doing so. --217.83.95.227 09:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Sadly, my pursuit has been fruitless so far. I had contacted the University of Anchorage, and three federal level politicians' offices, looking for guidance. Nothing was found. Linking these poor quality articles from the front page gives new users, unfamilar with Wikipedia's editing system, so where to start. -- Zanimum 14:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Although I don't speak this language, I've been some help here since yesterday. I've improved the quality of a few articles by adding words, and I've created 2, Avieeaq and Aglaksruutit. I've translated most of the front into Inupiaq. Whoever found that dictionary deserves half the credit. 72.68.230.164 20:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I've got 1 wd to describe Inupiaq Wikipedia: tainnaunnii (Although it is not very good, it is OK)72.68.230.164 23:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unicode characters

I noticed on the featured article Iqsrabutilik that several characters appeared that aren't actually found in Iñupiaq (most notably the "e"). I believe this is caused by the author of that article using a font developed by Alaskool.org (link to the font page). There are unicode characters available for the language, as seen here. Using unicode would allow for a standard set for this wiki. --Aberwak 20:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uiqipidia

Using the Eskimo writing key on the Iñupiak dictionary, I have come up with the letters that can made into "Wikipedia". The sounds:

  • Ui = ui like quick
  • qi = q sounds like k but farther in throat, and when i is next to q, it makes a sound like is in English.
  • pi = p sounds like English p, "i" alone makes sound like i in police.
  • ti = same as pi
  • a = when alone, makes ä sound

Uiqipitdia: Makpibaat atanbiqsauruq

[edit] Very important note!!

A while ago, I posted this note to the Embassy page. It seems it is still needed, and not always read, so I repeat it here. As you can see, this page should e.g. not be called "Makpibaaq Kanna" at all.

First, while writing iñupiaq is not impossible, it needs language (especially grammar) studies; combining words from the dictionary is not enough. There is one trap, however, which one should not go into, and that is the use of the online Iñupiaq dictionary without correcting its encoding.

The dictionary is made by people with little knowledge of character set encoding. Instead of using Unicode, they have put all the Iñupiaq letters into the ASCII table, making it impossible to write about, say, Bart, Jack, Fairbanks etc. in Iñupiaq. Here, on wikipedia, as elsewhere on the net we use Unicode. Entries from the online Iñupiaq dictionary should thus be translated into Unicode, according to the following table. The wordform tunixabaa from the frontpage should thus read tuniḷaġaa. All entries in the dictionary containing the non-Iñupiaq letters b, x, o, j, f, e should be translated according to the following table (cf. also the perl script on my user page.

[edit] Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests.

Done. —Pathoschild 00:44:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
