3D-Binary File of the Logo ?
Hi, i would like to animate your Logo (3D). I can reconstruct the whole Sphere, but if there's a Binary-File (3D Studio, Cinema4D, OpenFX, Povray ...) - would be nice to use. At last - where can i upload the Result and the related 3D-Data at the end ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.190.185.90 (talk) 15:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

ceb-wp logo
Hi,
I would like to request a change of the text of the ceb-wp logo to "Wikipedya, ang gawasnong ensiklopedya" because the correct spelling is "ensiklopedya", not "ensayklopedya" as in the last version. See also my post @ meta. Thanks! --Bentong Isles 14:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Can I incorporate your logo?
I'd like to incorporate the Wikipedia logo into an icon, if that's alright. I'd like to put sunglasses on it to indicate privacy on Wikipedia for the user group {{User pro-anon}}. I think that putting the sunglasses which are currently the icon over the globe would really convey the message. What's more, I already made it. I want to get your OK before uploading it, though. Thanks. P.S. One of your cats shares my last name. -Justin Force 23:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I saw the article at [1] about errors in the logo, and though I would give fixing them a quick try. What do you think about meta:Image:Wikipedia-logo_thue.png?

- The Japanese chars just to the right of the top middle needed a vertical line on the first char. And the sanskrit char on the leftmost piece in the middle row was wrong (according to the NYT).

Hi Nohat. Thanks for your recent pointer at our discussion of markup for the hard space. I do hope you'll join in, and help with this drive for a simple change that will help make editing easier and better. Right now we have to host the discussion at a subpage of a userpage, because anywhere else it's too hard to keep order and focus. But later we want to take this to a much wider forum, and gain the necessary consent of the wider WP community.
Your advice and assistance would be much appreciated!

Can you fix the Wikipedia logo?
I've left a couple messages on the logo's discussion page, but maybe I should leave one here too. The problem is that the devanagari script puzzle piece in the logo has been pretty badly mangled by whatever software generated it. It's almost like a little poster child of the Western World's inability to deal properly with indic text. It's embarrassing. I'd be happy to fix it myself if I knew how the image was generated, but I don't. If it can't be fixed, could a new logo be created with no attempt at devanagari at all?

Saterfrisian logo
Hallo Nohat, Last December you were so friendly to create the logo for our Saterfrisian Wikipedia: stq:Wikipedia-logo-stq.png. At that time, however, it was not brought by our helpers to the top of the left column, so it can only be found at our page stq: In between we are approaching 400(!) real articles and we found it time now to have the logo moved to its right place. Now, however, some people are complaining about the text Ju fräie Enzyklopädie being unclear. Indeed you can’t read it very good.

Thanks for uploading Image:Eddie_Amador-House_Music.ogg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Hi Nohat,
Any new findings on the dull-bull merger? Approx. what percentage of the people in your area has it? I have the merger! Originally from upstate NY, moved down to FL still in my preteen years. I've been trying to get /ʌ/ into most words that are supposed to have it, but I still feel a little awkward saying them... especially Hull, Dull, Ultra-, Multi- I used to pronounce most /ʌl/ words with /ʊl/, but some with /əl/ (in my opinion, sounds somewhere in between). I don't think I ever used /ʌl/! I've heard a few instances of the Dull-Bull merger on the radio lately (e.g. the March of Dimes BellyAd Blue ad, "lullaby" is obviously pronounced /lʊləˌbaɪ/ in this ad).

If you have any questions please seeMSU Interview
Dear Nohat,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [email protected] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,

Who to ask for permissions for the Wikipedia logo
Hi. I know, you're not holding the rights for the logo, but I currently would like to use the logo for my own wiki project (no, no Wikipedia project), by altering the colors and rearranging it with other components. However, where do I have to ask for permission? I'm only reading that the foundation holds the rights - but how should they be contacted for this purpose?

Wikipedia Stories Project
Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
In my research I found that you were largely involved in the design of the puzzle globe logo, and I'd be very interested in speaking with you about it!
I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project.
Thank you for your time,

Language-population update project
Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.
A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.
Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).
Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.
Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{
Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.
If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.
The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Preposition stranding ref
Hello, in this revision, you added a reference:
- Many sources consider it to be acceptable in standard formal English.<ref name="Cutts 2009. p. 109">[[#Cut09|Cutts 2009]].
But there is no further information about what this reference is, other than a last name, a year, and a page number. Can you update the reference with more details? Nohat (talk) 00:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Based on the edit summary, I found the reference on Common English usage misconceptions in the Bibliography section. If there are any other incomplete citations, the details can probably found there.

- A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi Nohat.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at

How we will see unregistered users
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)

Diego Vega article
Hi there,
I know you seem super senior and have been around for a long, LONG time, so I am not templating you or anything like that, but just wanted to let you know that the article you brought to the main space on Diego Vega "based on the Dutch article" does appear to need a bit more work, namely in the form of added reliable sources. I know that Onel5969 has already tagged the page for needing as much, but I just wanted to let you know as well. TY — Moops ⋠T⋡ 19:45, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
