Country names

reagh

I'm not sure what's with the obsessive need to stick "Yn" in front of every country. There's only a handful of countries which have this in Scottish and Irish Gaelic. In most cases, the names like "Zambia" are non-English in origin, and calling them "The Zambia" or "the Namibia" makes little sense. It also means you have to mutate the next word, making it hard for the majority of readers like myself, who only know a handful of Manx. Ditto the chemical names - these are international, and it's pointless to respell them. English doesn't bother for most of them.--81.149.154.254 15:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It is not an obsessive need to stick Yn in front of the name of countries. It's part of the grammar of the language. Yn is the Manx definite article. Using it makes the following noun definite. In English most country names are already inherently definite and therefore don't use the. Some do though (e.g. THE Netherlands, THE Congo, and until recently THE Ukraine). Therefore Yn Nameeb does NOT mean the Namibia - it simply means Namibia and that Namibia is definite rather than a mental or psychological construct. Many languages use a definite article to describe countries including French (L'Irlande, La France, L'Espagne). As regards handfuls of countries in Irish Gaelic using a definite article - you made that one up. That is completely inaccurate. As an Irish speaker myself I can vouch for the fact that the vast majority of geographical entities include the definite article (e.g. An tSiombáib, An tSáír, An tSeapáin, An Namaib, An Fhrainc, An Rúis, An Astráil, An tSín, An Mhongóil, An tSile etc.)
Also, in Talk:Yn Tambia you mentioned about Yn Hong Kong etc.???? No such thing. Sorry. The Manx for Hong Kong is simply Hong Kong. The Manx for Timbuktu is Timbuktu and the Manx for London is neither London nor Yn London but Lunnin. Where are you getting your arguments from because they all seem to be opinion based. And those opinions seem to have absolutely no basis in reality. For the list of chemical elements take a look at Coonseil ny Gaelgey's (The Manx language regulator) list of terms up to 2006 here or take a look at this Periodical Table of the Elements in Manx (although it excludes temporarily named elements. Also there is a good Manx language dictionary available here. Try type a country's name in there and see what you get.
The goal of the Manx language wikipedia is not to produce articles that are easy to understand for non speakers but to create an encyclopaedic database for those people with Manx who wish to have one. MacTire02 17:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Most of these have been made up for the wikipedia or very recently and would have never been used by native speakers of Manx. How often are Manx speakers going to speak about Equatorial Guinea or some obscure element of the periodic table with a half life of under a second? Not often. "Yn" means "the". I got far enough in Manx to understand that! So why does everything have to be "the Xyz"? We might as well have Yn Sostyn, Yn Mannin, Yn Doolish etc. You'd be better off just having articles on Zambia, Zimbabwe etc. This is an example of trying to be different when, there's no need. The goal of the Manx encyclopedia shouldn't be artificial obfuscation either.
"Yn Hong Kong etc.???? No such thing. Sorry. The Manx for Hong Kong is simply Hong Kong" - why not? Most of these names were made up recently by learners, so why shouldn't there be "Yn Hong Kong" or not? One learner's neologism is as good as another. --80.46.18.68 18:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
"Most of these have been made up for the wikipedia or very recently and would have never been used by native speakers of Manx." - Can you provide evidence of that? I am not going to explain my position any further. My arguments have been based on fact, yours on opinion. If you wish to question why these place names have Yn in front of them I suggest you contact the Coonseil ny Gaelgey. They make up the rules, not I. I follow them.MacTire02 18:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I doubt if any of these ever appeared in a publication before Ned Maddrell's death. Talk about making things hard on oneself! Coonseil ny Gaelgey does a lot of good work, but not everything it does is helpful! --80.46.18.68 20:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Re Country Names. In Manx many countries have the definite article, as someone else stated that is a feature of the grammar of the language and as a fluent speaker who lives on the Isle of Man and teaches through the medium of Manx at the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh I can say that the fluent Manx speaking primary school children in my class have no difficulty coping with the article and mutations so I cannot see what the fuss is about. The argument that these country names haven't appeared in a publication before Ned Maddrell's death doesn't hold water. If we were to limit ourselves to the tiny amount of written literature before Ned died then we would have a dead fossil of a language that couldn't cope with the modern era. I'm sure countries like 'The State Union of Serbia and Montenegro' didn't appear in English publications before Ned died but that doesn't stop English speakers using new coinages such as that today. To suggest that Manx should scrap the articles and mutations to make it easier for English speakers is like suggesting that English scrapped irregular plurals like 'men' and 'women' and wrote 'mans' and 'womans' to make English easier. Most new Manx country names are borrowed from Irish or Scottish and are not simply 'learners' neologisms.' To quote from Kelly's dictionary, a publication that appeared before Ned Maddrell's death "Franck, or Yn Ranck, France. Proper names of countries are generally used with the article."

Admin Status

I wish to nominate myself for administrator. Are there any objections? We need somebody to prevent against vandalism, delete spam and nonsense pages etc. MacTire02 16:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Irish wikipedia?

reagh

Seems half of this wikipedia is now in Irish, despite the fact that Manx is closer to Scottish in many ways.

I know. It has been noted and a solution is being worked out although it might take a couple of days for it to work through the system. Please be patient while we update. Regards, MacTire02 15:27, 15 Averil 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, looking mie though. ;)

Important Translations

reagh

Does anyone have any idea how we could translate log in, log out etc.? Based on Irish I have come up with logail stiagh and logail magh but I'm not sure. --MacTire02 19:22, 15 Averil 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We also need translations for the following:

  • e-mail:
  • ID:
  • login:
  • log in:
  • log out:
  • logged in:
  • logged out:
  • Template:
  • Log(s):
  • Upload:
  • Download:
  • Printable:

Voila

  • login - ennym
  • log in - Claare stiagh (Scottish Gaelic Clar a-staigh)
  • log out - Claare magh
  • email - post-l (lectragh)
  • template - feeree
  • log book - lioar hurrys
  • ID - enney
  • Download - cur neose
  • upload - cur neese
  • logged in/out - claarit stiagh/magh
Ok. I've decided to go with your ideas for log in / out etc, up/download, and ID. I think I'll go for clowan for template. It means frame - i.e. to frame the information. As regards log(s) - hmm. Not so sure about lioar hurrys. It suggests your travelling, whereas in fact that's not what it means here. Here it simply means to a record of problems, faults, deletions, etc on the wiki-project so I'm not sure lioar hurrys accurately reflects that. Any other suggestions for this one? I'm fairly stumped myself and if we can't come up with one we probably will have to go with lioar hurrys. --MacTire02 09:23, 30 Boaldyn 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looking good. Presumably someone now needs to go through the existing templates/template-using pages and replace the terms? If we're happy with clowan I'll switch to using that. Regarding log, how about lioar chooishyn, as cooishyn is used for things like affairs, business or matters (e.g. matters arising)? For printable I'd suggest ry-chlou based on existing terms. --Shimmin Beg 18:55, 30 Boaldyn 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have you any idea as to how we go about changing [[Template:XYZ]] over to [[Clowan:XYZ]]? I've been active on Betawiki for a while now doing the translations but I'm not sure how to change the names of such namespaces as Template:, Special:, etc. --MacTire02 19:17, 30 Boaldyn 2008 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.:Great to see you here Shimmin Beg. --MacTire02 19:19, 30 Boaldyn 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Gura mie ayd, it's good to get to use the Manx a bit.

I'm afraid I don't know about changing the names of special pages (I'm not an admin, I can't change the names of pages anyway), and searching en.wikipedia didn't help at all. I'm stumped for now. I've tried a sample edit with a new page named Clowan:Sheiltynys (rigged up as a temporary thing, I'll finish it properly later) but links with { { Sheiltynys } } look for a Template: prefix not Clowan:. Feel free to experiment with it or your own templates. Shimmin Beg 23:00, 30 Boaldyn 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some new ones (add more as required) and the terms I've started using, up for debate:

  • Formatting - cummey
  • Resolution - cruinnys
  • Low-resolution - cruinnys moal
  • High-resolution - cruinnys myn

I'm planning to write off to the Coonceil ny Gaelgey to enquire about some terms, so I'll send these along and see what they suggest. I'll also send off the ones we've agreed already. Assuming they've no objections on grounds of making sense, it would be useful to have them added to e.g. the Manx dictionary, for common use and reference.Shimmin Beg 20:25, 6 Mean Souree 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a discussion underway at present about these terms and others. I'll let you know - it looks like they're going to recommend a few changes, but mostly they like your suggestions. Shimmin Beg 22:44, 9 Mean Souree 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. That's great news. I have to see what else will have to be changed on the interface in the meantime. MacTire02 22:52, 9 Mean Souree 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Some new terms (but not all those discussed) have been released by CnG - I've updated Termeeaght with the most relevant. -- Shimmin Beg 15:49, 27 Jerrey Souree 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Myr sampleyr: Jiu ta mee er groo Template:Reih chohionney as eh y fer Gaelg da Template:Collapsible option 'sy Ghaelg. Daa cholloo, foddee?

At the moment, it seems we're doing the same work twice when we get or make new templates. Sometimes I notice it's my fault - for example, I converted Template:Barrstiureyt and used that, but didn't make it obvious to anyone, and the original Tnavbar is now available as well. Different pages use them and so they don't necessarily get updated, etc. I'm thinking that putting Manx names on everything isn't always such a good idea as I did, since most other Wikis don't bother because it causes just this sort of confusion. Another example, we now have two different Infobox Language versions - Kishtey fys çhengey/Kishtey Fys - Çhengey.

Anyway, I'm thinking we should try to find out where we've got two very similar/identical templates, and keep just one of them, otherwise there'll be some confusion. Also, how about making a page where we can log what we've done in terms of making and converting pages, especially templates because it's not so easy to find them or tell whether anyone's got an equivalent template already. For example: today I created Template:Reih chohionney, which is the Manx version of Template:Collapsible option. Maybe with two columns?

I agree with you on this. I think I'll delete the Kishtey Fys - Çhengey template for now anyway. The one you created is far better looking and much easier to use (no  ´s for a start). I'll do it when I get a chance but at the moment I'm snowed under with work outside wikipedia so I might not be around to much of it. If it becomes an issue I'll see if there's any way of tranferring my admin status to you. --MacTire02 16:24, 8 Jerrey Souree 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the time being I've started working through the list of articles using Kishtey Fys - Çhengey and converting them to mine (sounds so conceited!). If we can do that you should be free to delete it. At some point I suspect we should also convert that set of templates to using small letters rere the Wikipedia policy on article naming [1] as I've had some confusion over that - and I wrote them! It'll also mean working through the articles using them and changing it all, so as the guilty party I should probably set aside some time for that if we agree.

Anyone know why the navboxes don't look the same as they do on other wikis? They don't have colours, Hide buttons and so on despite having the same code. I thought it was the absence of CSS code on the Manx site, but we've got it now (thanks, Mac) they still haven't got colours. This kind of code isn't really my forte.

Hmm! This is a problem I haven't been able to sort out myself. I can do the colors for you if you want. Just tell me what colours you want placed in what boxes.

Not 100% sure, but the Irish version is "eolaíocht" which is a feminine 3rd declension noun. Although Manx has a very irregular declension system, I would assume that it has retained the feminine form. --MacTire02 10:52, 5 Luanistyn 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A plan is in the works to found a new UK chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation, and we are currently gathering support from the community. If you are interested in being part of this new UK chapter as a member, a board member or as someone with a general interest in the chapter, please head over to m:Wikimedia UK v2.0 and let us know. We also welcome help in making finishing touches to the plans. An election will be held shortly for the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board, which will take the chapter forward, starting to raise funds and generally supporting the Wikimedia community in the UK.

Wikimedians in the United Kingdom are working to set up a chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation, which will aid and encourage people to collect, develop and effectively disseminate knowledge. A board of five members has been elected, and a company has now been set up. Membership applications are now invited, and will be processed as soon as we have a bank account. The organisation needs the support and involvement of people like you.

So far, most participants have been based on English-language projects, but we want to ensure that we work with and for Wikimedians in all languages. As this Wikipedia is in a language native to the UK, we are making contact with you.

We need to know what a new UK chapter can do to assist your project, and how we can best work together to make that happen. We are also looking for people who can translate short pieces of text, such as the first paragraph of this message, to help publicise the activities of the chapter.

Please do comment, make suggestions, and feel free to ask us any questions, whether here, on MetaWiki, or on the wikimedia-uk mailing list. Warofdreams 11:18, 1 Mee ny Nollick 2008 (UTC)[reply]
