== Bot flag for GedawyBot ==
{{Peracta|1=Flag denied. Bot now seems to have died or otherwise moved on.|text=

I will make another request on meta. Thank you.--[[User:محمد الجداوي|M.Gedawy]] 15:20, 16 Februarii 2012 (UTC)
**For clarification, what will you do differently from [[Usor:CandalBot|CandalBot]]? I have concerns about running multiple interwiki bots that may be running at cross purposes. Have you discussed this with Candalua and/or gotten his code for multiple interwikis on a single page? If not, how do you handle multiple interwiki links to different texts on the same subdomain (e.g. work here in Latin links to two translations on en.ws)? I stopped running my interwiki bot ([[Usor:Interwiki-Bot]]) because I couldn't do as good a job as Candalua could. Comments Candalua?

:: That's why i won't run the bot on "Wikisource" namespace again (Is that enough?). I already [http://it.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Discussioni_utente%3ACandalua&action=historysubmit&diff=1083051&oldid=1083012 asked Candalua] about his patch.--[[User:محمد الجداوي|M.Gedawy]] 14:24, 21 Februarii 2012 (UTC)
:::Actually, I think the problem is in the mainspace where books link to multiple translations on the same language (and if oldwikisource becomes mul.ws then where there are two works on mul). I have no objection if you go ahead and keep running without the flag and I'll wait for Candalua to comment. Assuming no one opposes, I'll flag you if Candalua says it's not going to be an issue. If you've got his patch then everything should be fine but I haven't kept up on the interwiki issues enough so I'll defer to Candalua.--[[Usor:Doug|Doug.]]<sup>([[Disputatio Usoris:Doug|Disputatio]] <small>•</small> [[Specialis:Conlationes/Doug|Conlationes]])</sup> 19:46, 23 Februarii 2012 (UTC)
Hi folks. First thing: as I already said to Gedawy, the Wikisource namespace is one thing; the main namespace, aka ns0, is a different thing! [[Foo]] is in ns0, but [[Wikisource:Foo]] is in Wikisource namespace. It looks strange that you want to run a bot without knowing about namespaces, but I hope it's a just a distraction. Anyway:
* if you run the standard pywikipedia software, we can easily trust you as a bot operator as long as you don't run in ns0, only in the other namespaces. Do some more edits here just to see that you're doing good, and we can give you the flag.
* if you run my patch, you must know exactly what you're doing. It's possible that the patch works for the version of pywikipedia that I'm using, and that it doesn't work for the version you're using. Or things like that. For this reason, before I give you the patch, I must be sure that you know what to do with it.
So: I suggest you use the standard pywikipedia for now, and then we'll see. It's also possibile that the patch will be included in future versions of pywikipedia. (Doug, I sent you an email on January 5, for you to share it with the developers, then I completely forgot the matter: do you have updates about that?)

:*Candalua, yes, thanks for the reminder, let me check on what happened with that, I made sure folks had it but I'm not sure what they did with it. I've been out of the loop for the past couple months and probably will be for a few more as I'm moving intercontinentally, but I'll try to follow up on this.--[[Usor:Doug|Doug.]]<sup>([[Disputatio Usoris:Doug|Disputatio]] <small>•</small> [[Specialis:Conlationes/Doug|Conlationes]])</sup> 06:16, 15 Martii 2012 (UTC)
*I oppose this being done now. Let them practise without the bot flag first. Maybe in a few months we approve it. I also opposed over on Sanskrit Wikisource.

:Ok, I want to make a different function please: I want to use my bot to welcome new users by creating their talk pages with <code><nowiki>{{subst:Salve}}</nowiki></code><br />
: I'll use a modified script from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/welcome.py Welcome.py]. My bot already does this function on Arabic wikis (See [http://ar.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%86%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B4_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AF%D9%85:Sheyxali&oldid=134508 this] for an example). Best regards.--[[User:محمد الجداوي|M.Gedawy]] 02:54, 11 Martii 2012 (UTC)
*You have 7 edits, 4 of them right here, and no mainspace edits. I don't believe you are familiar with this wiki. Take a look at [[Specialis:ActiveUsers]] and [[Specialis:Census]] and I think you'll realize that a welcome bot is a bit overkill for this subdomain, and that's putting it mildly. You could manually welcome all the new users about as quick as you could run your bot and welcome from a bot here says that even the few active users we have aren't actually home so we need a bot mind the house. Automated processes can be useful, but I am sorry, I have to oppose a welcome bot on la.ws.--[[Usor:Doug|Doug.]]<sup>([[Disputatio Usoris:Doug|Disputatio]] <small>•</small> [[Specialis:Conlationes/Doug|Conlationes]])</sup> 06:00, 15 Martii 2012 (UTC)

:Sarah and Dominic put me in touch with the museum on this. There has been some limited discussion at [[:en:Wikisource:Scriptorium#Walters_Art_Museum_seeking_to_partner_with_WikiSourcers]]. We need a plan to deal with the format, both the illumination and the gloss, the work appears to be three columns but it's really a single wide margin work with a substantial gloss. Someone who can actually read the material will need to align everything properly after it has been transcribed and someone with a very good knowledge of medieval manuscripts will need to perform one of the proofs or the validation.

== Please correct my article. ==
Is there a list of templates on the Latin Wikisource that includes a list of parameters or some kind of explanation for how to use them? The Category:Formulae page isn't very helpful. [[Usor:QCIC56|QCIC56]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:QCIC56|disputatio]]) 23:43, 11 Ianuarii 2014 (UTC)
== Wiki language ==
{{Peracta|1=Use user preferences, no change to local wiki defaults.|text=
It's very hard to try to make any single edition here on la.wikisource, mostly because the entire wiki (templates, user interface etc) is in Latin. I fully understand the reasons for an Wikipedia fully in Latin language, but a repository to host classical texts in Latin don't makes any sense to me. The majority of internet users are able to read and to write in English, even poorly, but not in Latin. Is there any special reason to not default the languague to English and make templates multilingual like Wikimedia Commons does?
