Greetings Neruda!

Can you please kindly help me create a stub for this article - based on the French article or the English article. 2-5 lines would be sufficient enough and your help would be gratefully appreciated. Thankyou very much!

This church was established in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2004.

I wrote the article under the name Dibundu ya Yesu ya Kyeleka. I hope I translated the name correctly. If you have any material about this creed in Kikongo or Kituba, it could be checked from there.
Thankyou very very much for the excellent article Neruda! I am very grateful. May God bless you and may Kikongo wikipedia prosper!

Could you please write a stub http://kg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kur%C3%B3w - just a few sentences based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kur%C3%B3w ? Only 2 -5 sentences enough. Please. Pietras1988 20:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

PS - If you want writing "I speak Polish" you write Mówię po polsku ;).

I'm not going to add Kurów now because there is no page for Poland yet. I will first add pages for the Central African countries and cities. The rest have to wait.
I'm a language hobbyist, which explains the number of languages that I speak. Unfortunately Polish happens to be one of the few languages that I don't speak. ;-)

Template:Delete

soba

Hello;
I noticed you're a sysop on this wiki. I was searching for a template to tag pages to be deleted. Can you please create a Template:Delete that redirects to your local template name (if you have one)? This is used on most wikis. Thank you. --213.251.168.77 14:49, 5 ngonda ya ntete 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for helping out in cleaning vandalism. I will create the template for deleting pages soon. This wiki is still very undeveloped because the only active user is me. :-/ Neruda 14:57, 5 ngonda ya ntete 2007 (UTC)
Ok, no prob. Good luck :-) --213.251.168.77 AKA it:.anaconda 15:03, 5 ngonda ya ntete 2007 (UTC)

Hello Neruda!
I found an open proxy that vandalized a page (see MediaWiki talk:Timezonelegend). According to this policy on the Meta-Wiki, it should be indefinitely blocked. Its IP address is 66.235.180.189. Thank you. --.anaconda 03:22, 19 ngonda ya zole 2007 (UTC)

Jambo Mtizedi, mpangi ya munu. It is true that there are few contributors in this wikipedia. The language that is used here is Kikongo, which is popular in West Congo. Kiswahili is spoken in the East Coast and Kikongo in the West Coast of Africa. :-) I'm happy that you want to help in our Wikipedia.

Hola

Dearest Neruda, how are you? I am wondering if you or somebody would be so kind to help me translate a very short-stub version of one or two sentences of this article for the KiKongo wikipedia? (it is an article about a cause supported by Mario Benedetti, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and many others) Thank you very much for any advice or help you could offer :) All my best, KiKongo-aenne 01:46, 25 ngonda ya ntete 2008 (UTC)

Je sais seulement ce cours de Ikuska. Il y a des livres en français, comme Grammaire et lexique munukutuba par Jean-Alexis Mfoutou (L'Harmattan 2009). Par ailleurs, munukutuba = kituba = kikongo. ;-) Neruda 11:36, 9 ngonda ya nsambwadi 2009 (UTC)

Betwiki

soba

Bonjour Neruda

AVez-vous entendu parler de Betawiki? C'est un projet pour soutenir les Wikipedia et autres projet tel Wikibooks, etc. des langues minoritaires. Comment cela marche:

/1/ Tout les menus, messages,etc. qui sont traduit sur Betawiki vont être repris quelques jours plus tard dans une mis-à-jour par tout les Wiki. Donc: traduire ici est pour ici; traduire là-bas, c'est pour ici et ailleur, donc bon pour la cause du Kikongo.

/2/ Tout ce qui est déjà traduit ici peut être repris par Betawiki. Après vérification,on peut continuer sur Betawiki.

/3/ Grâce au soutien d'une fondation hollandaise, les traducteurs peuvent toucher une remise pour leur travail (il y a quatre sommes pour quatre parts de messages et la traduction doit être annoncée et faite dans quinze jours).

Malheureusement le site de Betawiki n'est qu'on anglais, mais GerardM peut vous aider, parce qu'il parle aussi le français. Sa page de discussion: betawiki:user_talk:GerardM. Meilleures salutations de Bombo de Lingála-Wikipedia (le 14 mai 2008 à 22:48).

connectivity project

soba

Hallo, my name is Anastasiya Lvova, I'm "duty" in Connectivity project. The essence of the "Connectivity" project is to study and enhance the coherence of Wikipedia, or, in other words, to improve hypertext navigation between articles. The project deals with deadends, isolated articles, non-categorized articles, transitivity of the category tree, etc.

We want to work with your language version, but we need configured MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for it (with direct links to template namespace pages, for example, ru:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/de:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/fr:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage). Is it possible to set it up for our usage?

thanks in advance, Lvova 18:25, 13 ngonda ya sambanu 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you commented on the change of the logo, but am unfortunately unable to understand what you wrote—does that mean you agree with the change and confirm that the logo is correct? Thanks :) Odder (talk) 13:37, 4 ngonda ya sambanu 2013 (UTC)

Global account

soba

Hi Neruda! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, DerHexer (talk) 21:51, 16 ngônda ya ntete 2015 (UTC)Reply

Few pages needs to be cleaned up after maintenance

soba

Sorry for writing in English.

Hello, after recent maintenace that was done on your wiki, a few of pages that were previously inaccessible are accessible again. Some of those pages couldn't be fixed, because their name was taken by another page. For that reason, I've moved those pages to start with T173070. I'd like ask you to review those pages, move them to correct title or delete them, if they are no longer needed. You can find the list of pages that needs maintenance in the output of the maintenance script. If you need any help with this, please feel free to contact me.

Edits of Ngumza Kwanza

soba

Hi I just blocked user:Ngumza Kwanza at swwiki. He entered obviously intentional fake information on 2 pages about a non-existing Kangowa language. (if he did it not intentionally, he has the chance to explain himself and we reconsider). He did the same on enwiki. As he has done most of his edits at kgwiki, maybe you have a look at his edits.

How we will see unregistered users

soba

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Your advanced permissions on kgwiki

soba

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for 2 years) on this wiki. Since this wiki, to the best of our knowledge, does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on the local Village Pump of this wiki. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at the m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, please request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Yours faithfully.
