Cambio de nombre

Hola, quería decirte que no necesitás abrir una nueva cuenta. Alcanza con cambiar tu nombre de usuario y podés seguir manteniendo la anterior. Tienes que pedirlo aquí y entonces mantienes tu lista de seguimiento y no perdemos contacto contigo. --Jalu (discusión) 05:41 1 feb 2014 (UTC)

Disculpa, no contesté porque como es una decisión tuya no pensé que mi opinión fuera tan importante. Supongo que ambas opciones son válidas. Si cambias el nombre mantienes tu historial de contribuciones y tu lista de seguimiento. Sino pones ua redirección como hiciste pero en el PU.

  • Si tienes dudas sobre cómo comenzar a redactar un artículo destacado, o deseas ayuda de algún otro compañero, te sugerimos visitar el listado de revisores donde seguramente podrás encontrar a alguien dispuesto a apoyarte.
  • En esta edición, nos gustaría retomar el siguiente comentario del compañero Canaan (disc. · contr. · bloq.) sobre el proceso de redacción de un artículo destacado:

Bueno, en primer lugar, tómatelo con calma, no te apresures en nominar el artículo sino estás seguro que está finalizado y completo en todos sus asepctos, más vale que lo repases bien unas cuantas veces [...] Si es una traducción tienes que estar seguro que es perfecta, si no dominas del todo la lengua mejor pide ayuda. Si es de elaboración propia un tema básico es la ortografía y redacción, a no ser que tengas buen dominio más vale igualmente pedir ayuda. En todos estos casos puede ser conveniente pedir una revisión por pares. Por supuesto consultar el manual de estilo y ver que está todo correcto, que no faltan enlaces, categorías, interwikis, etc. [...] Un aspecto esencial es por supuesto la neutralidad, que se hayan contemplado todos los puntos de vista, así como la completitud. Las fuentes deben ser solventes y fiables, así como verificables, las que sean de libros que sean fáciles de encontrar en cualquier biblioteca pública; y a ser posible es conveniente tenerlas a mano durante la candidatura, por si tiene que consultarlas. Aunque no es tan importante es conveniente que el artículo contenga imágenes, o bien cuadros, tablas, estadísticas, mapas, cualquier elemento que apoye al contenido, así queda el texto más fluido y agradable de seguir. Y por último que tenga paciencia.

• • Si deseas comentar, sugerir u opinar sobre algún tema relacionado con las candidaturas o revalidaciones, tienes este y este otro espacios a tu disposición.

• Colaborador de la quincena
  • En esta quincena nos gustaría resaltar la labor de participación en CAD/RAD del/de los compañero(s) XXXX. ¡Muchas gracias por tu dedicación e interés en la mejora de la calidad de los artículos de Wikipedia!

Finalmente, nos gustaría compartirte la siguiente reflexión de Carl Gustav Jung: «El zapato que va bien a una persona es estrecho para la otra: no hay receta de la vida que vaya bien para todos».

Sobre consulta de borrado

La nota no va dirigida a ti, sólo avisa a los demás, en especial a los bibliotecarios que tus ediciones en Wikipedia son pocas, lo que hace presumir que podrías ser un recién llegado o novato. Además las consultas de borrado no son una votación, sírvete al respecto revisar aquí. Por favor no lo tomes a mal, siempre tus ediciones y opiniones serán bienvenidas. Saludos. ----Durbo (discusión) 07:09 25 abr 2014 (UTC)

Re. Delete

Hola, Je7roi. El bot solicitó el borrado de la redirección a que en ese mismo instante no existía la página «Serra (Espírito Santo)» (esto puede notarse comparando los historiales de ambas páginas). No fue por razones lingüísticas. ¡Saludos! Ralgis (discusión) 17:59 9 jul 2014 (UTC)

Te respondí

---

Hola Je7roi. Tienes un mensaje nuevo en la página de discusión de Rosarino.
Puedes eliminar este aviso en cualquier momento quitando la plantilla {{Respuesta}}.

---

Yo sí utilizo mis subpáginas de usuario para comenzar a editar artículos e ir desarrollándolos, los voy trabajando a través del tiempo, les voy agregrando fuentes, los wikifico, les agrego enlaces externos, voy mejorando la redacción y recién cuando están aceptables voy al TAB y le pido a un biblio que los convierta en artículos. --JALU  ♀  21:23 23 ago 2014 (UTC)

Re: Solicitud

Hola. Actualmente no me puedo comprometer a traducir todo el artículo, además suelo traducir del ruso al castellano, pero no tanto al revés. Pero lo que he hecho ha sido crear un esbozo usando la introducción del artículo en inglés de base. Lo tienes aquí: Иммиграция в Чили. ¡Un saludo! Wadim ^{Алё, Вадим слушает!} 23:09 7 sep 2014 (UTC)

Plantillas

Hola Je7roi, la plantilla {{no es un foro}}, no hace falta colocarla en las discusiones si de verdad no hay foreo, voy a retirar las que no sean necesarias y por favor no coloques mas a no ser que hagan falta. Saludos Tarawa ( jo ta ke irabazi arte) 23:03 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

Por el momento no hay problema. pero de generarse foreo, me tomo la atribución de revertir la acción. Un cordial saludo.--Je7roi (discusión) 23:09 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

Te informo que las he retirado todas, antes de hacerlo lo he consultado con un bibliotecario, esa plantilla es totalmente innecesaria si no hay foreo en las páginas de discusión. Saludos Tarawa ( jo ta ke irabazi arte) 23:21 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

Está bien. Ya entiendo. Como te he dicho, no tengo problema alguno. Simplemente me dió la sensación que no en todos los artículos sucede la misma cosa, es todo.--Je7roi (discusión) 23:32 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────┘
Tema cerrado.--Je7roi (discusión) 04:23 26 sep 2014 (UTC)

Sobre plantilla no es un foro

¿Para qué colocaste esta plantilla aquí? No hay ningún foreo en curso, no es un artículo que se preste a discusiones exacerbadas. De hecho es una discusión que ni se mueve. La verdad que no entendí. Esa plantilla está para usarla solamente cuando se justifica. Saludos. --Fixertool (discusión) 23:04 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

Te contesto con la misma respuesta que Tarawa1943. Un cordial saludo.--Je7roi (discusión) 23:12 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

No te preocupes. Ya pasó. Es de esas plantillas que hay que usar con cuidado. No basta con que se esté discutiendo mucho un tema para usarla. Además tiene que darse que se estén yendo por las ramas, que haya agresividad, etc. Así y todo, igual hay que tener cuidado. A veces los usuarios que participan de la discusión pueden ofenderse. Es mejor dar cuenta a un biblio del caso y no poner la plantilla. Te evitas dolores de cabeza. Por otro lado, es improbable que vayas a ver muchas situaciones de este tipo que ameriten agregarla. Saludos. --Fixertool (discusión) 23:41 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

En verdad agradezco tu respuesta, Fixertool. Más claro como el agua no me pudo haber quedado. Bien, a partir de ahora, lo tomaré en consideración. Un saludo y que tengas un buen día.--Je7roi (discusión) 23:48 24 sep 2014 (UTC)

Todo bien. Me voy a tomar el atrevimiento de hablar por Tarawa y decirte que ni él ni yo te avisamos con ánimo "discutidor". A todos nos ha pasado este tipo de cosas y en la marcha vamos aprendiendo. La sugerencia, cuando se toman acciones masivas, es consultarlo con alguien antes, para saber si se está bien encaminado. Saludos. --Fixertool (discusión) 00:00 25 sep 2014 (UTC)

Lo entiendo sin problemas, Fixertool. Es más, no pretendo "discutir" como señalas. Mientras que a Tarawa1943 le he respondido sin ánimos de "discutir" o algo quizás parecido a eso. Inclusive, hasta le he contestado en la forma más amistosa que pude. No niego el hecho que un ser humano sea un aprendiz en la vida. Una última cosa... te agradezco nuevamente y simplemente tomaré en cuenta las consideraciones que me acabas de entregar para aplicarlas desde una próxima vez en adelante. Saludos y que tengas un fantástico día.---Je7roi (discusión) 00:24 25 sep 2014 (UTC)

Ja ja. Creo que me interpretaste mal o yo no me expliqué bien, que es lo más probable. De ninguna manera quise decir que tú pretendieras "discutir" nada sino que yo no me dirigía a tí con esa actitud. Bueno, cuenta conmigo en lo que esté a mi alcance. Que pases muy bien. --Fixertool (discusión) 00:26 25 sep 2014 (UTC)

Jajaja! ¿sabes qué? igual es bueno saberlo, entonces está todo bien. En mi caso, contesto con la mejor actitud, asi que cero rollos y te agradezco una vez más por la sincera buena onda. Adiós.--Je7roi (discusión) 00:40 25 sep 2014 (UTC)

Un abrazo. Cuenta conmigo en lo que esté a mi alcance. Lo único que me falta a mí es tiempo y por eso a veces tardo en responder. Que pases bien. --Fixertool (discusión) 17:37 28 sep 2014 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────┘
Gracias, igualmente. Tema cerrado.--Je7roi (discusión) 19:47 28 sep 2014 (UTC)

  • Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)

Tech News: 2014-45

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent software changes

• The "Special:Cite" page is now called "Special:CiteThisPage". That way, you know it's to cite the page, not to add a reference. T20081
• You can no longer use the insource: keyword for text searches. It caused issues with the new search tool. It will come back later. [31] [32]

Problems

• There was a bug in VisualEditor with Internet Explorer. It hid tools like the link editor when you opened them. The bug was fixed on Monday. T74392
• Issues with the new search tool caused geo data code to show up on pages on Monday and Friday. The mobile "nearby" tool was also broken. The problem is now fixed. T74559 T35704 [33]
• HHVM caused server issues on Thursday. They are now fixed.

Software changes this week

• The new version of MediaWiki (1.25wmf5) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since October 29. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 4, and on all Wikipedias from November 5 (calendar).
• Some wikis have icons at the top of a page to show if it is protected or featured. Icons show up using CSS. You can now use the <indicator> tag in these templates instead to add the icons. [34] T25796
• VisualEditor now tells you if you're editing a re-used reference. This helps you avoid changing it if you just want to add a new one. T54792
• The icons in VisualEditor's template editor tool for adding more fields are back, along with other fixes. T65158 T74191 [35] [36] [37]
• After November 6, all wikis will have the tool to edit TemplateData. [38] T62158 [39]

Future changes

• The new search tool will come to the last wikis in the coming weeks. This includes Wikipedia in French, Chinese, German and English. [40]

Las noticias técnicas más recientes de la comunidad técnica de Wikimedia. Informa sobre estos cambios a otros usuarios. No todos los cambios te afectarán. Hay traducciones disponibles.

Cambios en la aplicación esta semana

• La nueva versión de MediaWiki ha estado en las wikis de prueba y en MediaWiki.org desde el 11 de febrero. Estará en todas las wikis excepto las Wikipedias a partir del 17 de febrero y en las Wikipedias a partir del 18 de febrero (calendario).
• El miércoles tu pagina de usuario en Meta se mostrará si no tienes una página de usuario en una wiki. [109] [110] [111]
• Ahora puedes cambiar el orden de las categorías en el editor visual arrastrando y soltando. [112]
• Ahora en el editor visual deberás hacer algún cambio antes de poder «Aplicar cambios» a las citas y plantillas. [113]
• La forma en que el cursor se mueve en el editor visual cambiará. Ahora el movimiento lo manejará el navegador directamente. La mayoría no notará ningún cambio. En el texto de derecha a izquierda, el cursor ahora se moverá en forma «visible» en lugar de moverse en forma «lógica». Este será el mismo comportamiento de otros sitios, pero puede ser extraño al inicio. [114]

Reuniones
