Viola list
Hello Peter, You are absolute right about the viola list. I should have discussed it first. My apologies. Hrdinský 03:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
"Translator" permissions
Hello, Peter.
May I ask you for me to have "translator" permissions, so that I can edit the MediaWiki message pages directly? Sometimes I'd like to add Japanese translations to them.--Supertchan 08:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Peter. Go ahead and make Supertchan an Admin, as per the forum discussion.-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 12:21, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Just a moment... how do I do this again...--Peter talk 19:37, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
All appropriate changes made.-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 19:41, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your kindness!--Supertchan 23:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Music Publishers
I'm very sorry about Music Publishers! It was careless mistake. Thanks for your warning.--Supertchan 01:43, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- No problem! --Peter talk 07:19, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Handel Scores
Hi Peter, these are the CD Sheet Music scores that were uploaded on the FTP server. Sometimes they forgot to erase all the plate numbers, so I've added those if I find them, but I don't have any more information on them. (They are definitely Public Domain, otherwise they would not have been able to make CD's of them to sell.) Operalala 21:00, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Finnish translation of main page
Hey Peter,
I asked Carolus about adding the Finnish translated main page to the list of languages (Etusivu), and I wasn't sure whether it would be better to have the IMSLP-links in the translated page linking to the English translations of pages, or whether I should have them as red links, linking to the creation of the respective Finnish pages - so Carolus suggested I ask some other admins for their opinion :) (I am asking Perlnerd, Daphnis, and you - I have asked the same question exactly to all of you)
Let me know what you think - on a sidenote, my Finnish is sloppy to say the best, so we would have to find a native Finnish speaker to do the translations of the pages, as my translations of the titles might not be accurate or correct.
-jujimufu 17:13, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- From the experience with other translations, I can very easily advise to link to English pages. Most, if not all translations, experience a short-lived interest after one person translates the main page and some other pages, but die soon afterwards: the red links never get blue and the mainpage gets outdated. So if you do not have immediate plans for translating a redlinked page, link to the English page. I would even dare to advice against a translation itself if you are the only finnish-speaking in the active community.--Peter talk 22:02, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- User Käkki is a native Finnish speaker, and has agreed to help with the translations. Once we start the most important pages, I will send an e-mail around my university (which is full of Finnish-speaking people) and ask if anyone would want to contribute to the translations by translating maybe one paragraph. If half the people translated one paragraph, the Finnish translation of the website would be over in a couple of days! :) I'll let you know how it goes.
- Also, Finnish's ISO code is fi, but the language itself is Suomi. Where would it go in the list of languages? The rest of the languages are sorted according to their ISO code, but it would be silly to have Suomi appear next to Français, but putting a "fi" iso code in a non-alphabetical order might cause problems (I remember being told that when using IFLAND we should always put the language codes in alphabetical order).
- Is someone putting a link on the main page? I asked Carolus yesterday, but it's not there yet. Also, we may need to re-design the main page, because there are too many languages now and in a 1024x768 screen they look a bit squashed (at least on Firefox, under both Mac and Windows). -jujimufu 10:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- OK great. ALthough an important issue in the translation is the updating of the translations when the English versions get updated. We had to delete a nice translated homepage once because it was hopelessly outdated. I'll add a link on the main page, but there's a bug preventing adding the link to the left pane and to autoselection based on browser's language. --Peter talk 14:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ask Leonard for lay-out issues--Peter talk 14:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks a lot. I'll ask him.
- Also, do you have any idea why "Etusivu" is appearing at the top of the Finnish main page? ("Etusivu" means "main page" in Finnish, but it shouldn't appear there, just on the title).
- Thanks again!
- -jujimufu 17:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- P.S. On an irrelevant note, do you know what happened to the MIT project? Carolus said that you may have finished it or are close to finishing it. Let me know if you need any help :)
- Etusivu is the page title which is displayed standardly on each wiki page. For each translated homepage there should be a code in the style sheet to disable it - also ask Leonard. The MIT project is indeed nearing completion - all letters have been processed by uploaders. I'm just rechecking everything and updating some newly entered public domain works, but 99% has been uploaded. It's just on a low priority for me right now! --Peter talk 08:37, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Vinzenz Lachner
I found an (I think?) uncopyrighted page, at Sibley, to add to Category:Lachner, Vinzenz - is this a good reason to undelete it? (Which I can't do or don't know how to, so I'd have to ask you or someone to do so, also...) Thank you for your time anycase of course! Eric 10:11, 17 October 2009 (UTC) (forgot to look at Lachner, Vincenz. Never mind!) Eric 10:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC) )
- Done
Can categories redirect? I think so but am not sure. That's all that's necessary now, I think- a redir to Category:Lachner, Vincenz (would removing the imslpcomposer block and including the same redirect template as in Wikipedia do it? If so, can do so myself of course. Sorry about the trouble, sir) Eric 15:06, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Apparently it works. Just make sure not to include any works under the redirecting category. Best regards Peter talk 08:40, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Halvorsen, Johan
Hello Peter, I believe that the newly added Sarabande is a different piece from that of the Passacaglia. All the best and keep up the great work you are doing here!!! Generoso 16:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry! That is a stupid mistake. Reverted --Peter talk 19:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
