Fynsk flag
[rediger kildetekst]Hej Palnatoke. Jeg ser med interesse at det mystiske opslag om et såkaldt fynsk flag er blevet slettet. Jeg er bagsideredaktør på Fyens Stiftstidende og skal formentlig skrive en masse om forslag til et fynsk flag, så jeg kunne godt tænke mig at få en snak med dig om Wikipedias bud på et fynsk flag. Mig bekendt findes der ikke noget fynsk flag, så formålet med skriverierne på Bagsiden vil være at få læserne til at være kreative og sende forslag til hvordan de mener, vores flag skal se ud. Med venlig hilsen Hans Faarup Journalist Bagsiden Fyens Stiftstidende Mail; hfa@fyens.dk Tlf: 65455125 Mob: 29291352 (Skrev 212.130.116.157 (diskussion • bidrag) 28. jul 2015, 22:43. Husk at signere dine indlæg.)
- Hej Hans. Jeg kan konstatere, at en helt ny bruger i dag har indsat et afsnit om et fynsk flag på artiklen om Fyn (samt oprettet en hel artikel om samme emne, som allerede er slettet). Det er ikke Wikipedias opgave at fremføre forslag til nye tiltag, fx et fynsk flag, så hvis der ikke er noget belæg for, at et sådant findes (og tilføjelsen sandsynliggør det i hvert fald ikke), så vil tilføjelsen blive slettet snarest. Når (hvis) der så eventuelt opstår noget mere fast forankret om sådan et flag, kan det komme på tale at beskrive det her, men så længe det bare er løs snak, er det altså ikke relevant her. Mvh.

Wikidata weekly summary #170
[rediger kildetekst]Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
- Discussions
- Successful request for oversight rights: Sjoerddebruin
- Events/Blogs/Press
- Wikimedia UK is organizing a Wikidata training session. You can sign up here.
- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Talk pages on Wikidata can now be converted to use Flow. You can request migrating your talk page at d:Wikidata:Flow.
- Mix-n-Match got a bunch of new catalogs for you to match up with Wikidata. Currently matching is happening at about 500 items per day. Pretty sweet :)
- @happybirthdayauthors is a new Twitter account posting reading suggestions based on Wikidata data.
- Arbitrary access is rolling out to a large number of wikis over the next two weeks.
- Duplicity can help you match up unlinked Wikipedia articles to a Wikidata item.
- Did you know?
- Development
- Made some small changes to the style of the edit warning and sitelinks so they are easier to notice and understand
- Added error messages for Special:GoToLinkedPage and Special:ItemByTitle so you get a useful message in case no result is found
- The Entity Selector now displays alias in brackets behind label
- The number of entities loaded via the {{#property:…}} parser function and via Lua will be reported in the “Parser profiling data” (which can be found below a page preview or within the Html of a page)
