Hello my friend,
About this modification: mk= parameter is not needed anymore in {{VN}}. {{VN}} is now capable to take the information from Wikidata.
I saw that you added mk in wikidata also.
This is really a good thing. Sadly very few of our taxon categories are linked to wikidata.
Are you familiar to wikidata ? Did you see how {{VN}} can help connect wikidata to wikicommons ?
I tried to document wikidata for wikicommon's biologists here: User:Liné1/sandbox2.
But my doc is not yet good enough.

Now tagged for translation. Any feedback on the structure would be welcome. I am trying to balance between the needs of translators, who seem to dislike any type of mark-up, and the needs of the article editors, who like all sorts of mark-up, except for translation mark-up. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 20:58, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Aymatth2: Thanks a lot! I am fine with the translation page as it is (although it doesn't accept the translations yet), but I do prefer mark-up, so the more robust, the better. The structure itself seems fine; I wouldn't mind if it had more code markups because it means that we can accomplish the job better. It is also desirable that any links should be marked for translation, so that I can use the links to the original Macedonian of the laws in question. Thanks again! B. Jankuloski (talk) 21:38, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I have contributed to Wikipedia for many years, but apart from file uploads am fairly new to Wikimedia and the challenges of translation, so am on a learning curve. For the past few months I have been trying to get the COM:CRT/Country pages into shape, and more recently to make them translatable.
The translation system seems very slow today. I noticed that with another page earlier today.
Everyone has different views on mark-up. I prefer to generally go with the wiki defaults on fonts etc. I think bold, italic, underscore etc. is usually just irritating to the reader. I prefer to use tables sparingly, and to push citation details to the back of the article to declutter the text. But I still see translators dropped simple mark-up like <ref name=Law2012/>, and see editors dropping "meaningless" mark-up like <!--T:11-->.
Where possible, I have added links like [1] that point to both English and Macedonian versions, or given separate links to the text of each law in different languages. That way a translator can cut and paste from the law in the translated page language, assuming there is a version in that language. I use {{Sref}} to refer to sections / articles in the law, so the reader who is curious can go to the list at the back and pick the version of the law in their preferred language to find out what [17/2014 Art.13c] really says. I think, but don't feel strongly, that this may be better than presenting a list of citation details to a translator who will not know what to do with it.
@Aymatth2: Your approach is the best one, I think. Moreover, it is good practice to link to both official English version and the original language (here, Macedonian) in the same elegant way, and this would make sense for every such instance of whatever language. I like it when there are two versions one after the other in the same line, as it is also in keeping with legal tradition. It's true that it's not a requirement, it would be helpful to those who may be concerned with looking into it from a legal perspective. --B. Jankuloski (talk) 23:00, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
Going forward I will try to put multi-language links to the laws. That is, <ref name=Law2012/> near the front would point to a citation at the back which, perhaps in bulleted list form, gives links to the law in the original language(s) and in formal and informal translations. That would clearly be an improvement. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 23:16, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
There is something odd happening here. See Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Consolidated list Southern Europe/mk. With some of the entries, e.g. Ватикан, Македонија, I see e.g. <translate> North Macedonia</translate>, which I what I get when I do not balance the <translate> tags. But they look balanced and versions of the list in other languages do not have that problem. I made a start at translating COM:CRT/North Macedonia into French, and had no problem. Is there something about the Cyrillic script that throws off the translation or transclusion? Aymatth2 (talk) 21:08, 31 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Naraht: Hello, Naraht. Strange, how someone missed such an obvious thing. I have swapped the words now, so you can refresh the file page to see it. Cheers --B. Jankuloski (talk) 21:37, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello.
I saw you recently made a translation of my map File:Celtic_Sea_and_Bay_of_Biscay_bathymetric_map-en.svg. I wanted to let you know that I created a new map with data of higher resolution. I already uploaded the new version in Macedonian but there are plenty of new names of submarine features, so you may want to translate them as well. To ease the task for you, I left in the file a hidden layer with these names in English. Sting (talk) 22:04, 28 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Sting: Thanks a lot for that, your map work is pretty excellent, I have to say. It sure took long to translate these properly and lay them all out, it will be nice to add the new ones there. Seems a bit confusing when I bring the new layer up, because it contains both the existing sea features as well as the new ones. sp they tend to cluster. Do you have some idea as to how many of them are completely new? --B. Jankuloski (talk) 22:34, 28 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well, no, because I had also to move a little bit some of them to make place for the new neighbors, but most important, several canyons were misplaced due to the former lower resolution, so I think the best would be to start from zero, using the layer in English, at least for all the canyons starting from the Whittard one, more or less at the center of the map, down to the Capbreton one at the southeast.

Hello, as the main contributor to Template:Technique/mk I'd like to ask you for help:
Template:Technique/mk uses the order noun-adjective for the "main group" and the order adjective-noun for the "over group", "on group" and "mounted group".
Currently, I'm finishing the Lua rewrite of {{Technique}} which retrieves noun-adjective-order centrally from Module:Linguistic's function p.noungroup(). I've added data there from https://wals.info/feature/87A where it gives the order adjective-noun for Macedonian[2].
But should the order indeed differ for the main and other groups like currently in Template:Technique/mk? Thanks a lot in advance, --Marsupium (talk) 19:54, 15 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Marsupium: Hello. Thank you for looking into this and the careful consideration. This is very interesting. Macedonian never uses the noun-adjective order, except in poetry, so your WALS source is correct. Even though I have translated most, if not all of these and have seen their results on the file description pages etc. I have never actually seen anything shown in this order, or else I would have corrected it. Only now do I see it in the code and for some reason, haven't noticed it before. But, to make it brief, everything in Macedonian that isn't poetic verse must be in the adjective-noun order, or else it would look wrong, as it does in English. I hope I answered your question satisfactorily, and tell me if I had missed some technicality. B. Jankuloski (talk) 03:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, without any knowledge of the mk language and difficulties with the characters, I am working on another version for Drupe fruit diagram-mk.svg; unfortunately I cannot extract the text because it is pathed instead of embedded. Would you please help me and let me copy the text of the eight words? Please ping me when I can get it. Thank you -- sarang♥사랑15:02, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Sarang: Hello, Sarang. Thank you for the attention to my translation. I ought to have arranged for it to be placed in an article already, so your new version will be a good occasion for that. I path them because it gives legibility on the page, otherwise the diagram look rather bad on the image. Here are the words in the exact order that they appear, so that you may copy them. I have swapped one word with a better one.
@Sarang: Thanks for that. It's rather convenient. I made a mistake - I wrote Еднокарп, but I meant to write Ендокарп. Needs to be corrected, I swapped the letters by accident. I'd appreciate if you can correct it. Sorry for the trouble. --B. Jankuloski (talk) 10:36, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
My fault, too - I did not read the cyrillic letters but took them without; it had been easily to detect, even for my poor knowledge... I corrected it in the code, but I'll wait a bit before again uploading the file - maybe some other languages will be added and one or the other upload can be spared. I won't panic because of a small error, much more essential is that you suggested the better translaton 'Околуплодник'. I see the there are articles in a lot of languages where the image does not yet contain a translation; may be I'll contact some other users -- sarang♥사랑12:35, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, in 2015 you translated this file. Now I try to make a multilingual version. Unfortunately in 2015 you made all path text, making it impossible to copy text. Would you please give me the 8 text strings in mk - e.g. there as an answer? Thank you -- sarang♥사랑13:54, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello @Sarang: Sorry for the inconvenience, I do that because the text renders awfully in articles. I annotated the file with the same text, so now you can just hover over each string (bounded by the yellow squares) and get a copiable version of it. It does take a little time to load the annotations, but I think that will solve the issue. --B. Jankuloski (talk) 08:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Text is weakly to awfully rendered, yes. Nevertheless I am thinking that with simple graphics is not such a problem, and where not severe considerations are against it, text should be embedded. Just my personal opinion! Thanx for your work with the texts; now they are embedded. -- sarang♥사랑09:28, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Yes, there is a very good reason for that. The move for the formal renaming of the country was completely politically cynical, undermocratic and is detested by practically everyone. People do not use it in real life, nor do they want to see it on our wiki. Our reputation will suffer enormous losses and our many years of efforts will be for nothing in our reader's minds if we do that. So much so, that even the media will pick up on it that the Macedonian Wikipedia is doing it. It's a very unfortunate situation, but the consequences of that are great. This is why we use the common name of the country - simply Македонија, which everyone uses constantly. We confine our use of that nomenlclature with "Северна" only in absolitely necessary formal appelations and nothing more (even then, we put a disclamer). It's a situation that few countries have ever been in and cannot be conveyed easily unless you are are member of that society. I hope you have a better understanding now. Regards. B.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
