I am a chinese (be more specific, cantonese) speaker who is not familiar with chinese input method. But I am actively improving the quality of the chinese wiki by
Improving/Creating templates. It can improve the readability as a user and the ease of editing as a writer.
Adding inter-wiki links between the chinese wiki page and rest
Different from an editor, the major role of administrator is to make sure that the wiki platform is user-friendly to the editor as well as the reader. Maybe I seldom type chinese. But I believe that can't stop me from being a good/responsible administrator.
I have been finding this is a problem on many pages (especially templates) that people are keep editing in order to keep the content readable in their language. My chinese is bad means I failed to make this two parties happy.Winston (留言) 2010年7月14日 (三) 14:35 (UTC)[回复]
The role of an administrator/sysops is to ensure the quality of the page is good. I believe it's good to have fast chinese typing but I don't believe it's a essential skill. In addition I can type chinese on the writing pad. Winston (留言) 2010年7月14日 (三) 17:05 (UTC)[回复]
(-)反对:Duty is everything: the greatest of joyd, the deepest of sorrows. Never can a non-chinese speaker be a syspop unless it's in some special situations, so I'm afraid that I have to vote this. (PS:怎么投票的都是我们的人……)--CHEM.is.TRY2010年7月14日 (三) 13:24 (UTC)[回复]
I could post the changelog here for everyone's reference. You have edited three things
Change the name of principle. I checked the official web site before reverting back to original version
Posted one picture and titled it 2011-2012學長會及學生會會長. As an alumni (not the sort of 菜鳥 you mentioned) I know 2011-2012學長會 will not be formed before the school year, which will be started in September. Winston (留言) 2010年7月15日 (四) 16:36 (UTC)[回复]
Could you give any official reference to your unofficial result? Also '他自己也說過會做未來太空人' could you please provide reference as well? Winston (留言) 2010年7月15日 (四) 17:27 (UTC)[回复]
(=)中立:I don't mind anyone speaking English to me in person; however, it would be seemed as an impolite manner for most Chinese people who do not like to use English. If you want to be the administrator, you'd better try to satisfy the other users' requirement or priority. —Walter Grassroot☸留墨存香2010年7月18日 (日) 00:01 (UTC)[回复]
(=)中立, I don't think it's too bad. It's reasonable to give a non-Chinese-speaker the admin rights, especially to the ones who can deal with technical problems. However, you need to do something SPECIAL to prove that you need admin rights and that you can manage them well. --达师 - 147 - 2282010年7月18日 (日) 10:41 (UTC)[回复]
Thanks for your advice. As I mentioned before I have been actively working on creating a good practice by setting templates and applying to some pages. I would be able to input chinese I would use some device to help. But still there is not much chinese input needed for creating templates.Winston (留言) 2010年7月14日 (三) 15:30 (UTC)[回复]
I would like to manage the quality of the article as well as template. To make sure the data is valid and consistent between english and chinese version.
Sometime I created wrong page (either template or wiki content page). I believe it's kind of dirty to move the page and keep the redirection on the wrong page. But it need administrative rights to remove a wrong page.Winston (留言) 2010年7月14日 (三) 15:31 (UTC)[回复]
Honestly speaking I have no specific topic that I am interested. However if I find the inconsistency between the english version and chinese version I would prefer reference the english version
I accidentally use the "新同文堂" browser plugin, which will automatically convert the chinese text coding. After the submission the inter-wiki link doesn't work. I got a warning from an administartor and figured out it's my problem.
So far I seldom find conflict on chinese version as the number of active editor is limited.
My chinese is bad means that I don't know how to type chinese (without any writing pad). But of coz
I can read chinese without any problem
Most of the work I've done is format editing (improve the readability/promoting standard templates) instead of adding content. Therefore it's not a problem if I don't know how to type chineseWinston (留言) 2010年7月14日 (三) 14:23 (UTC)[回复]
Sysop rights are not necessary for maintenance works such as improving readability or promoting stardard templates. --Bcnof(留言)
