Covid response project

Dear User Group, My name is Papakow Baiden and I am writing to inform you about a project we are working on here at the Moleskine Foundation. We are gathering a movement of volunteers and professional translators to write the 10 most relevant articles to help spark creative solutions to the pandemic in African languages. So far over 200 volunteers have signed-up to translate the articles into more than 30 languages including Hausa, and our published work has been seen over 30k times. We are in need of experienced wikimedians who can a) help with uploading the articles onto Wikipedia (volunteers are currently collaborating on google docs as they’re new to Wiki) and b) if you see content from our project appear in Hausa, please engage and help improve the article. Many thanks, Papa –Papa Baiden (talk) 21:00, 14 ga Yuni, 2020 (UTC)Reply

Admin rights request

Hello All, after my second one-year administrator access expired, I am planning to request to be given administrator access rights again. My Hausa is still far from perfect but I am able to identify vandalism and you can of course check my admin logs: deletions, blocks and protections. For instance, over the coming months I am planning to delete step by step all the automated translations in this category. After that the Hausa Wikipedia will be more or less cleaned of automated translations and will only have legitimate content. Kindly type "Support" below if you support this. Thank you for your trust, na gode sosai, –DonCamillo (talk) 11:22, 30 Mayu 2019 (UTC)Reply

Update on the consultation about office actions

Hello all,

Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.

This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.

For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.

Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.

Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 08:03, 16 ga Augusta, 2019 (UTC)

Hello Fellows, I would like to inform you that I'm requesting Administrator right access again after the expiration of my first Temporary access, in order to keep what I have been doing to improve the project. Seeing that we still don't have local permanent Admins yet.

Admin rights request

Hello everyone/Barka da rana,

I had only temporary admin rights here and lost them a while ago. My Hausa is still very little (kadan-kadan) but I believe I can help here. I have a lot of experience in editing Wikipedia (mostly the French version but also this one with 5000+ edits and 1000+ stubs created). I need admin rights to be able, for instance, to finally clean this category, to update the main page, block vandals who are damaging the project, da dai sauransu.

Sentences to translate

Here are some basic sentences that I would like to translate, use, and adapt for more language articles, and of course for Harshen Mumuye.

  1. Mumuye is spoken by 400,000 people. = Mutane 400,000 ne ke magana da Mumuye.
  2. Mumuye had 400,000 speakers in 1993. = Mumuye nada mutane 400,000 masu magana dashi a 1993.

Gidan harshe

  3. Makici is a village located near Igwama town in Mariga LGA, Niger State. = Makici ƙauye ne dake kusa da garin Igwama a Ƙaramar hukumar Mariga a Jihar Neja

There is an academic journal called Harsunan Nijeriya (Languages of Nigeria) that is published in Kano. There are many terms in linguistics have been used in Hausa linguistics publications and textbooks. We can make a list of Hausa linguistics words if we can find those books.

Sabon Harshe (talk) 19:54, 26 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the suggestions, it would really help if we can get the published journal, I translated the above sentances and would keep on helping you when you need them.

Google Translate template

Roughly what proportion of Hausa Wikipedia articles are copied and pasted from Google Translate? We can make a template to tag such articles. Sabon Harshe (talk) 20:10, 26 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply

It is difficult to say, a lot of them have been deleted over the years and I believe there are that many left (except this category, I'm currently cleaning it and should be done soon...). But having a tag would be very useful. We also need one for articles when a part of the content is in English.
Could a Hausa native speaker translate these two sentences? I can create these templates very easily. Nagode sosai! –DonCamillo (talk) 06:50, 27 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply
"Parts of this article have probably been written using machine translation. Kindly rephrase them or delete them."
"Parts of this article are not written in Hausa. Kindly translate them or delete them."

Articles to translate

We can also translate these English Wikipedia articles of British linguists who have contributed a lot to Hausa linguistics.

Language names

Thanks to User:Abubakar A Gwanki and User:The Living love for their recently article created articles Ut-Ma'in and Shuwa-Zamani‎, both of which are endangered languages of the Hausasphere. I would generally recommend using the Hausa names provided in Harsunan Najeriya#Sunayen harsuna under the Harshe (sunan Hausa) column. For each Wikipedia language edition, it is generally the standard to use the local exonym (name that the majority ethnic group applies to the local people and language) unless it is derogatory. Language names in Hausa can be identified by the -anci suffix, as with Turanci and Latanci. The names used on English Wikipedia are standard ISO 639 standard names that not Hausa locals may not be familiar with. Ultimately, our goal is to make these articles useful to the Hausa community and hopefully attract more contributors.

Similarly, that is why plant names in Hausa rather than the standard scientific names would be more useful on Hausa Wikipedia. Sabon Harshe (talk) 19:30, 26 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply

Najeriya vs. Nijeriya

Should we decide on whether to use the spelling Najeriya or Nijeriya? We should use whichever one is more commonly used and natural-sounding. Sabon Harshe (talk) 20:02, 26 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply

There is no agreement on which form to use, even the most important medias in Hausa don't necessarily use a standardized spelling (BBC uses Najeriya and Nijeriya, for instance...). In general I think it is difficult to choose and different spellings can coexist. Moreover very different spellings are used by people who are also English speakers (in Nigeria) and those who are also French speakers (in Niger, Benin, Cameroun, Chad...). The best way to handle this might be to allow different spellings to coexist, using redirects, mentioning alternative spellings at the beginning of articles... –DonCamillo (talk) 06:42, 27 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply
What DonCamillo said is absolutely correct, both the two are often used interchangeably, Hausa people from kaduna,kano,katsina and bauchi they use Najeriya, hausa people from Niger and sahel region use to say Nijeriya, it is just a Hausa dialect Anasskoko (talk) 13:58, 27 Disamba 2019 (UTC)Reply

Join the conversation on the Universal Code of Conduct!

Greetings / Gaisuwa a gare ku!

After about 3 years of rigorous discussions aimed at shaping the Wikimedia 2030 strategy, the Wikimedia community has come up with ten (10) solid recommendations that would guide our actions from now on in this movement. One very important recommendation in the line-up is to “Provide for Safety and Inclusion” and a major action point in this recommendation is to create a universal code of conduct, which would be designed and implemented in conjunction with our communities across the globe.

The universal code of conduct would be a movement-wide policy which seeks to ensure the existence of a universal baseline of acceptable behaviour for everyone participating in our movement, in order to minimize incidents of harassment, bullying, discrimination or even disenfranchisement. This is even more important for much smaller Wikipedia languages like the Hausa Wikipedia, where policies like this do not already exist. A first draft of the Universal Code of Conduct was concluded in October 2020.

As a global movement, we aim to further develop and enforce this very important blueprint through an inclusive process, with respect to local contexts and existing structures. Hence, we would like to invite the Hausa Wikipedia community to discuss the different ways that you think that the Universal Code of Conduct should be implemented on this Wikipedia and across the global movement.

You can share your initial thoughts directly under this message, or on the UCoC meta talk page. You can also reach out to me personally on my talkpage or privately through my e-mail (soyeyele-ctr@wikimedia.org). For further general information on the universal code of conduct, please also check out our frequently asked questions page.--SOyeyele (WMF) (talk) 12:03, 18 ga Janairu, 2021 (UTC)Reply
