ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ:Hari Singh~pawiki
Hi, this is Sukh and it's nice to see you contributing! I've spent a while getting the UI translation completed (I didn't actually do it myself, but lots of it needed changing and updating) and also helped in getting the Punjabi Wikipedia started.
I'm an administrator here and my Punjabi isn't all that brilliant (I'm an 'NRI' :D) but I'd still like to get the Wiki up and running. Before any major changes and pages are added we need to do simple stuff like make basic categories, template and stubs in Punjabi. We also need to add some getting started guides and so on.
Also please don't add masses of Gurbani text just yet because the encoding used on GurbaniFiles.org is experimental. Unicode does not currently support many of the features of archaic Gurmukhi and the text on Dr Thind's web site uses an experimental encoding. Thus if we add text now it will cause problems in time to come. I've recently submitted a document to the Unicode Consortium which should iron out these issues in the coming weeks, but until then we should refrain from using anything experimental.
As a general rule if the text uses features of modern Gurmukhi (paireen rara, vava, haha and half-yaiyya) and ek onkar/double dandi then it should be fine. However if it uses stuff like Paireen Yaiyya and Udaat (looks like Halant), that might be a problem.

- Hi. I've seen your posting on my talk page. Sorry for the delay in replying, I've just finished a week's worth of exams and will now have some free time. In regards to your comment "I have noticed that when you seach for an article, the system does not offer to start a new article page- but goes to a new Wikipedia:Searching page" - I have not noticed this problem?
- I think the first task we need to do is broadly set up categories in some sort of hierarchy and make relevant stub pages. Then we can get people to contribute more. Have you any ideas as to how to get this off the ground? Sukh ੨੩:੩੭, ੨੭ ਮਈ ੨੦੦੫ (UTC)

Stub request
[ਸੋਧੋ]Greetings Hari Singh, could you help me create a stub for this article - which is based on the English article. 3-5 lines would be sufficient enough. Please. Your help would be gratefully appreciated. (I do not know what the correct title should be -- Jason, 2 March 2006
Your account will be renamed
[ਸੋਧੋ]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hari Singh. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hari Singh~pawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
