China's Jobs?

I'm doing a project on China for my library and I'm wondering what to type in order to get the best info. I have pretty much completed the research part I just need to know what kinds of jobs there are. I can't seem to find anything useful. Rainicornlove 23:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

The project is due Feb 10 so I really need to get it done!

Please reply. Thanks! Rainicornlove 23:59, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki can be difficult... it does require lots of system administrator time. It can be quite frustrating, especially when installing extensions or otherwise changing the default configuration. Jasper Deng (talk) 16:53, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

"MediaWiki.org" for the main page's namespace tab

As you probably already now, the title of the main page's namespace tab can be modified by MediaWiki:Mainpage-nstab message. I'd suggest to create this message with "MediaWiki.org" so there's not shown "Page" anymore. Do you agree with this? Tim (SVG) 08:17, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

I have a question regarding wikipedia itself and languages

Dear all,

I just got an sudden thought, that 'Why do we need wikipedia in all languages, instead we have a single pool of all the articles, from all the languages, and just translate them to the requested language.

benefits:

1. all the languages will have the all the articles.
2. less maintance of articles.

needed:

1. a better software to translate the articles -> not exist now, but can be built if open source contibuters wish to have.
2. better community -> which already exist.

It's a thought, may be someone have come across such idea's earlier, or it have some practical complications. Let the community to think on it.

I really feel sorry for my poor english. I tried on my best to write it right. Thank you all! Ganeshtheone (talk) 20:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Developing high quality, universal language (machine) translation is beyond the scope of Wikipedia. (At this point in time, it seems to be beyond the scope of anyone, anywhere!) In fact, sufficiently accurate, nuanced language translation between any two languages is not yet at the level of accuracy needed for users of encyclopedic content.

Also, the difference between the various language versions of Wikipedia is greater than the language difference. I don't know how to articulate what this difference is, but I have observed it. The current approach seems to be rather effective.

===== Summary =====

Readers can choose to use machine language translation as needed. For now, this seems the more prudent arrangement i.e. to have machine language translation as an option, a helpful alternative, rather than the default. FeralOink (talk) 05:58, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Why write "I have a question?" Why not write "My question is this?" 174.22.202.58 21:07, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Because this is Wikipedia, not Stack Overflow, nor Quora?

Because we need more machine translation?

Tiny joke.

I concur with Qgil, that any further discussion of this topic should be continued on MetaWikimedia.org. FeralOink (talk) 11:20, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

I had already proposed a similar sistem for Wikivoyage: archived discussion. Ricordisamoa 17:11, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Anybody with admin permissions listening? :) [[kgh]] (talk) 21:11, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't manage this page, but the bit about the Berlin Hackathon was obviously out of date, so I've archived it. Catrope (talk) 23:03, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that was exactly what I thought, too. :) Thank you and cheers [[kgh]] (talk) 23:05, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Learning what is Wiki Technology

I found out that this site is the top of Wiki site that uses Media technology. I like how MediaWiki works, it is easy to understand and very flexible. I think, I will visit this site more often to learn more about Wiki Technology. Good thing, I found this site. Thanks you to the people behind this very helpful site to the users. 206.77.151.27 20:44, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
