Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-49
The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article! The Hiroshima Maidens are a group of 25 Japanese women who were school age girls when they were seriously disfigured as a result of the thermal flash of the fission bomb dropped on Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945. They subsequently went on a highly publicized journey to get reconstructive surgery in the US in 1955. Keloid scars from their burns marred their faces and many of their hand burns healed into bent claw-like positions. These women, as well as the other citizens affected by the A-bomb, were referred to as hibakusha, meaning "explosion-affected people".

Growth team updates #4
Welcome to the fourth newsletter for the new Growth team!
The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.
We need your feedback!
We have two requests for community members:
- Now that data is coming in for the welcome survey, we are planning how to use that data to personalize the newcomer's first day. See our current thoughts here, and join the conversation here.
- Try out the help panel's interactive prototype, and read about how we're planning to roll it out, and post any thoughts or reactions here.
Two Growth team projects have been deployed (detailed updates here)
- Personalized first day (welcome survey) was deployed on November 20 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
- The survey is now being shown to half of new users (A/B test). Responses are being recorded in the database. We'll report on initial results during December.
- We are planning to test a second version of the survey, called "Variation C", which we think will maximize the number of users who complete the survey and stay on the wiki.
- The original objective of this project was to give newcomers the materials they need to achieve their goals, and so now we are currently planning how we will use the information collected in the welcome survey to personalize the newcomer's experience. We hope community members will read our current thinking and join the conversation here. Some of the plans we are considering include:
- Making it easy for newcomers to see editing activity around the topic areas in which they indicated that they're interested.
- Connecting interested newcomers to experienced editors.
- Surfacing the help content most relevant to the reason for which the newcomers created their accounts.
- Understanding first day (EditorJourney) was deployed on November 15 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias. It has been done after a longer security review and final testing than expected. Data is now being recorded for all new users on those wikis, and we've been auditing the data and preparing to make initial reports during December. Stay tuned for the next newsletter!
Help panel is under construction
- Focus on help desk (help panel) is planned to be deployed during the week of January 7 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
- This interactive prototype is the best way to see the design and wording in the feature.
- We ran live user tests on the prototype, with results posted here.
- In addition to giving the ability to ask a question, the help panel will also contain a set of links to existing help content. Our ambassadors on Czech and Korean Wikipedias are determining the right initial set of most helpful links in this task.
- We encourage community members to try out the prototype and read about the rules for who will get the feature, and add any thoughts to this discussion.
We are still looking for volunteers
Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.
Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!
Learn more about us
You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project updates page for detailed updates on the projects we work on.

- Be on the lookout for the beta testing announcement
- Help using captions has been set up, if you'd like to go ahead and see the workflow
- Two IRC office hours were held since the last newsletter
- Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd webchat
Current:
- Help determine and propose properties on Wikidata for Commons
- Review designs for structured licensing and copyright
- Join the community focus group!
Since the last newsletter:
- Review a prototype for searching structured Commons (October 2018)
- "Good coverage" for depicts tagging (Sept. 2018)
- Review and discuss mockups for displaying the new metadata section of the file page (18 September - 9 October 2018)

- Structured Data on Commons was the subject of a keynote presentation by Sandra (see slides) at the Baltic Audiovisual Archives Council conference in Tallinn, Estonia, November 2018.
- Partners and allies
- The info portal on Structured Commons now includes a section on GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums).
- We are currently planning the first GLAM pilot projects that will use structured data on Wikimedia Commons. One project has already started: the Swedish Heritage Board researches and develops a prototype tool to provide improved metadata (translations, data additions...) from Wikimedia Commons back to the source institution. Read the project brief.
- The documentation for batch uploads of files to Wikimedia Commons will be improved in 2019, as part of preparing for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. To prepare, the GLAM team at the Wikimedia Foundation wants to understand better which types of documentation you already use, and how you like to learn new GLAM-Wiki skills and knowledge. Fill in a short survey to provide input!
- Stay up to date!
- Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
- Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.

乌克兰语已开始赶上来
最近两个月乌克兰语维基百科刷条目愈来愈厉害。现在每天已增长3000至4000条条目。如此下去,中文维基两个月还创建不到1万条条目,乌克兰语已有4万条。若果情况不变,乌克兰语条目数量应可在7至9个月间超越中文维基百科。各位有何打算?--Шәτіт🐷⏣ 2018年11月13日 (二) 10:20 (UTC)
- 每天3000是跑机器人吧。人力根本难以抗衡,没有什么可以阻止的,除非中维也一起跑机器人。—AT 2018年11月13日 (二) 20:24 (UTC)
- 人手模版创建。--Шәτіт🐷⏣ 2018年11月13日 (二) 23:25 (UTC)
- 其实这种条目排名似乎也没什么好计较的,就算真的超越也只是让zh版维基百科掉到15,跟14名而言没有多大差别,就像现有的排名也根本不知哪里有进前10。如果一天拿机器人刷个一万以上条目或许可以冲到第1[开玩笑的]--Z7504非常建议必要时多关注评选(留言) 2018年11月13日 (二) 23:47 (UTC)
- 我在开机器人,但是阻力干扰会比较多,也比较慢。另外乌克兰的机器人开得比较好,他们直接从WIKIDATA提取数据,往往注释准确、图文并茂,从技术方面我自问不足。Walter Grassroot(留言) 2018年11月14日 (三) 01:24 (UTC)
- 感叹,上个月去计算机历史博物馆,看到维基百科的展览,我还要跟朋友解释为何中文维基百科不在前十名,没有听过的语言却榜上有名。不过我自己觉得中文维基质量还是不错的,即使撇开刷条目的那几个语言不谈,也比很多前十名的版本要好。--Wikimycota~receptor 🍄 2018年11月14日 (三) 19:53 (UTC)
- 按照正常速度的话,基本每天200~400左右,只有开机器人或者任何批量创建的话,的确不止这个数,但是可以参见Wikipedia:机器人建立条目小组,为什么当时立下的目标许多都不了了之,就是无法解决一些根本性问题,所以为什么之后基本没有大规模的机器人冲刺的动作。请解决一些基础性问题,例如关注度、条目质量、命名问题等。——路过围观的Sakamotosan | 避免做作,免敬 2018年11月15日 (四) 00:47 (UTC)
- 命名已有指引,问题理应不大,然而质量嘛⋯⋯模板创建也差不多。 --Шәτіт🐷⏣ 2018年11月16日 (五) 11:41 (UTC)
- 其实可以考虑在方剂列表中批量创建不同中药药方。药方属中医药范畴,作为中文维维基百科也应该协助说明。 --Шәτіт🐷⏣ 2018年11月17日 (六) 00:58 (UTC)
- (!)意见中文维维基百科? -- Sunny00217 --维基餐厅开幕了,欢迎参观。 2018年11月28日 (三) 11:39 (UTC)
- 引进先进的Lsjbot!!![开玩笑的]--仍然相信友谊就是魔法的CuSO4 2018年11月17日 (六) 09:32 (UTC)
- en:User_talk:Lsj-- Sunny00217 --维基餐厅开幕了,欢迎参观。 2018年11月28日 (三) 11:39 (UTC)
- 不过在下有一个问题,就是乌克兰语有在用机器人写条目吗?是的话我们也没有法子,毕竟我和条目神们都尽力刷条目了。除非我们这群条目神懂用机器人写条目(和懂写程式),不然中文维基百科就像PewDiePie一样等被超越吧。--维基病夫(给我留言·学生会·维基餐厅·亚利桑那州) 2018年11月17日 (六) 09:42 (UTC)
- 有用机器人,叫Rarbot。--Шәτіт🐷⏣ 2018年11月17日 (六) 13:17 (UTC)
- 在下是保留派,但(&)建议重质不重量,数字如浮云。 ——CommInt'l(留言) 2018年11月17日 (六) 15:55 (UTC)
- 有一些条目不存在一手来源也没有二手来源或数量极少,而是公司所公布的相关数据(如小城子街站),亦不能作为来源,如果采用图片形式进行佐证则可能考虑违反合理使用,这样有一些轨道交通条目撰写缓解消红链的欲望会比较困难...--☭CHNAQW最爱我家小丫头(留言) 2018年11月18日 (日) 15:09 (UTC)
- 除非关注度有问题,否则照样创建吧⋯--Шәτіт🐷⏣ 2018年11月19日 (一) 15:25 (UTC)
- 路过随便说两句,我个人对一感到条目总量就要被其它人超越,马上就会有人突击刷出一堆内容极为简单的小条目的现象表示极为反感。诸如Template:山东省第四批文物保护单位,这些条目实质上除了地点和年代并无其它有用的信息,一些用户总是站在编者的角度看条目,却完全没有站在读者的角度,更不用说后续出现的重复、消歧义、条目名称不当甚至完全错误的问题(例如根本就是子虚乌有的敕海庙)。--猫猫的日记本(留言) 2018年12月8日 (六) 15:34 (UTC)
- 不如找个懂乌克兰语的维基人去偷师学习吧。[开玩笑的]--维基病夫 —— 距离第二届年度总会尚有16天 2018年12月9日 (日) 04:07 (UTC)
Wikipedia translation of the week: 2018-50
The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article! Dazzle camouflage was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I, and to a lesser extent in World War II and afterwards. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson, though with a rejected prior claim by the zoologist John Graham Kerr, it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other.
