ChriKo

Hongera ya makala ya Uholanzi. Kuna msaada mmoja: sanduku la habari za nchi - njia rahisi ni kuinakili kutoka en.wikipedia (nakili katika hali ya "edit" ) na kuibandika tu kwa sw.wiki. Halafu ukibonyeza "Mandhari ya mabadilisho" utaona ya kwamba sehemu kubwa ni Kiswahili tayari. Unatafsiri maneno machache tu. Matt ameandaa templeti hii, mimi naona ni msaada mkubwa - --Kipala 19:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Kweli, ni rahisi sana. ChriKo 12:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Hongera kwa makala ya yule ndege ( Muddyb Blast )

Kimtazamo unaonekana umezama sana kiwikipedia, mimi binafsi nimependezewa sana ile Template ulioitumia kwenye makala ya kuelezea majopu ya ndege, ni mda mrefu sana nilikuwa nikiona zile Template kwenye wikipdeia ya kingereza lakini nikijaribu kunakili zile Template zinakuwa lemavu yaani hazina uwezo kuonekana katika sw.wiki hivyo juhudi zangu zikagonga mwamba kwa upande wa zile Template nikawa nasubiria siku nimfahamishe bwana kipala kuhusiana na ile Template kwa bahti nzuri nikiwa naangalia zile kurasa mpya katika Special Pages nikaona kurasa yako inayohusu ndege hivyo mpango wangu utafanikiwa Hongrea bwana chriko na kila lakheri katika maisha yako huko uliko Ahksante.

Congratutalions, and some questions

Hi ChriKo. I hope you understand English. Congratulations with the 1000 articles in Swahili! It's just great! It's probably the first encyclopedia in an original African language with more than 1000 articles, or?

I have been involved in Wikipedias in several other African languages, such as Bambara. I will be speaking about the Wikipedias I have been involved in. And I would be grateful if you could answer some questions. Also, any other remarks are welcome.

1. Where are you from? Where did you learn Swahili?

2. When did you hear about Wikipedia? And when about the Swahili Wikipedia? When did you start to contribute?

3. What do you think about the future of this project?

thanks, Guaka 20:37, 3 Agosti 2006 (UTC)

Hi Guaka, thanks for the congrats, which I will have to share with the other regular contributors. It's indeed wonderful that the Swahili Wikipedia has breached the 1000 mark. It could well be the first in an African language, I have not checked. Reading your questions, I am again reminded that it is high time I introduced myself on the various Wikipedias to which I contribute. My answers to your questions are a start:

1. I was born in the Netherlands like yourself but left the country after my studies at Wageningen University in 1979. I have been back only occasionally since then. I learned Swahili in Kenya during a study period in 1976/7. Later, I have lived and worked in that country twice for a total of more than 10 years. I have regularly visited Tanzania as well. In addition, I have lived in Niger, Nigeria and Sudan, and travelled extensively throughout the continent. Though I now work in Benin, my Kenyan wife still lives in the highland town of Nanyuki where I visit her twice a year.

2. I learned about Wikipedia in 2004 and it did not take me long to discover the Swahili one. I started to contribute last year.

3. I assume that with "this project" you mean the Swahili Wikipedia. I have to admit that initially I was a bit pessimistic about the future of the project, especially since I had the impression that few native Africans contributed. It was partly the reason for me to start contributing. I am now more optimistic, though cautiously so. I think we need many more Africans to contribute. ChriKo 22:27, 7 Agosti 2006 (UTC)

1) I'm from the UK. I lived in Kenya for six few years when I was growing up, and still manage to visit East Africa about once a year. I picked up a little Swahili when I lived in Kenya, but I've been trying to learn properly for the last couple of years. My Swahili isn't anywhere near good enough to write fresh articles, but I've got a fair bit of experience with MediaWiki and Wikipedia, and when I have time I try and help out here with more technical wiki aspects like templates, categories, translating the user interface etc.

2) I got involved in the English Wikipedia in March 2004, and the Swahili Wikipedia from 2005. I probably first heard about it from the Swahili article in en:.

3) It's very encouraging to have reached 1,000 articles. For a long time it was stuck with around a dozen actual articles of mediocre quality. We really need to have more African Swahili speakers involved with the project, but that may be a matter of waiting for more people to get online and to get faster connections. A Wikipedia edition needs a community of editors actively working and maintaining the project, but for that, a contributor needs a fairly decent connection to the Internet. Matt Crypto 17:35, 8 Agosti 2006 (UTC)

Thats some interesting contributions here, I just came across them today (because I spent August once more in EAK and EAT and did not check very often). I have also had my thoughts about the African share among the authors. At the monent Ndesanjo looks a bit alone holding up the African flag in this wikipedia from the other side of the Atlantic, although he seems to be a tough guy and won´t be scared by all the wazungu invading here. On the other hand we probably have similar motivations for contributing here.

Surely it makes a difference if its all Africans contributing or if most contributions come from "guest-workers". Especially with articles on history, culture and society. A critical mind may call for some "decolonizing of the sw-wiki-mind" after some time from now.

On the other hand I think that it is not so grave with this open concept of wikipedia. Once an encyclopedia worthwhile to be called so is in place it will be used. And it is open to everybody to change and correct. So whatever "harm" I may do with my contributions - it's open for change.

I really find this much more worthwhile than a wikipedia say in English - German - French because this may be the only chance in a nearer future for Kiswahili to have an encyclopedia -I dont see it coming in print from any East African publisher. So lets go. Pecca fortiter! (thats Martin Luther about necessary sins ...) --Kipala 20:48, 13 Septemba 2006 (UTC)

Areas of habitat

ChriKo, could it be possible to mention countries and places where the species you describe occur? Would be helpful for interlinking. Just an idea, what do you think? --Kipala 20:48, 13 Septemba 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kipala, welcome back! Yes, countries and places will have to be mentioned when I get down to describing species. For the moment, I am listing groups that have single Swahili names, and providing short descriptions. Describing the individual species will be a lot of work, which I do not have much of at the moment. As a matter of fact, I am thinking of requesting the help of my friends of the Nature Kenya bird group. I may also contact some Tanzanian birders. ChriKo 21:32, 13 Septemba 2006 (UTC)

Nahitajii jina

Chriko, naomba nisaidie jina la "Goshawk" (kijer. Habicht). Naiihitaji kwa makala ya Azori. Jina ni lile la ndege. Naweka kwa sasa "tai" lakini si yenyewe. Ukijua naomba sahihisha neno lile moja tu. --Kipala 23:59, 15 Septemba 2006 (UTC)

Jina la "goshawk" ni "kipanga". Nimekwisha kuhariri makala yako. ChriKo 18:41, 16 Septemba 2006 (UTC)

mpungate (kakati)??

Chriko, naomba tena msaada ikiwezekana. Nahitaji neno la "cactus" - angalia makala ya "Nembo ya Mexiko". Nimetumia neno "mpungate (kakati)" lakini sina uhakika kama ni sahihi. Ukijua nashukuru ukisahisha. --Kipala 16:34, 27 Septemba 2006 (UTC)

Salamu Kipala. Mpungate ni sawa. "Cacti" haitokei Afrika kwa asili. Spishi chache zimeingizwa na ile iliyotapakaa ni "prickly pear" au mpungate. Ni spishi hii inayoonyeshwa kwa nembo ya Mexiko. ChriKo 10:35, 1 Oktoba 2006 (UTC)

Problem of lines inside taxoboxes

Chriko, youa sked me about a problem with line getting into taxoboxes. Does it persist? It could be something with the settings on your screen. I have seen it, too, but it is not consistent and sometimes off again. --Kipala 18:57, 8 Oktoba 2006 (UTC)

Majina za nchi

ChriKo, asante kwa ushauri wako kwenye ukurasa wa majidiliano / Afrika. Ushauri wangu ni tofauti kidogo: tusivutane mno kuhusu tahijia ya maneno au kutumia majina namna gani. Tutapoteza muda wetu tu.Tuongeze maumbo mengine kwa kuongeza makala za "Redirect".

Sababu zangu

• hali halisi hakuna orodha ya majina inayokubaliwa. Hatuna budi kuendelea na maumbo mbalimbali lakini tuweke viungo! Tujitahadhari tukibadilisha kitu ili tusiharibu viungo vilivyopo!
• orodha za TUKI na BAKITA ya majina ya nchi haifuatwi mara nyingi wala Tanzania wala Kenya. Jinsi inavyoonekana kwangu sehemu yake ni kazi bure. Kama orodha ya Kamusi Hai ni sawa zote mbili hazikubaliani kati yao.
• Nimejipatia "Atlasi kwa Shule za Msingi Tanzania" (ISBN 9976950403, chapa ya tatu 2005) ambayo ni Atlasi ya pekee kwa Kiswahili ninayofahamu. Haifuati orodha ya TUKI. Lakini hii ni namna ya majina ambayo wanafunzi wanafundishwa nchini Tanzania.
• inaonekana kuna nchi yenye majina ya pekee kwa Kiswahili yenye uzoefu ya miaka mingi (kwa mfano Misri, Uingereza, Marekani, Shelisheli). Haya tutetee.
  • Nchi nyingine ina majina ya kimapokeo (kama vile Uhabeshi, Uajemi) lakini kuna matumizi sawasawa ya majina ya kimataifa kama vile Ethiopia na Iran. Hatuna budi kuonyesha yote.
  • Kuna nchi nyingine ambazo hazijadiliwi mara nyingi kwa Kiswahili. Hapo matatizo yanaonekana ya orodha zilizotungwa kwenye deski ya TUKI au BAKITA lakini hazitumiki au hutumiwa mara chache sana lakini majina ya kimataifa hutumiwa zaidi. Mifano ni Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria (TUKI: Gini, Kodivaa, Nijeria) na mengi mengine. Nashauri tuongeze Redirect na kuongeza kwa mabano majina haya katika makala ya nchi.
• Mtindo wa TUKI na BAKITA mara nyingi ni kufuata matamshi ya Kiingereza. Ila tu si rahisi kuelewana kwa sababu katika Kiingereza kuna tofauti katika matamshi (Kiingereza ya kisiwani au ya Marekani auya wapi..). Wameanza tu kwa orodha ya majina machache ya nchi. Baada ya kuandika makala mengi ya nchi naona matata katika mtindo huo. Pamoja na sababu nilizotaja hapo juu inaongeza ugumu wa kuoandika makala upande wa historia, kwa mfano ukieleza asili ya jina la nchi (etimolojia). Kwa mfano Guyana ilipatikana kama jina la koloni tatu za Uingereza, Ufaransa na Uholanzi katika Amerika ya Kusini. Kwa nini tuandike nchi moja "Guyana" lakini nchi nyingine "Gwiyana" (TUKI)?? Kwa nini San Marino iwe "Samarino"?? Hizi ni fikra tupu za deski lakini si matumizi ya lugha.

Nitaandika makala kuhusu tatizo na kutoa orodha ya majina ya nchi kandokando. Nimeshandaa orodha ya TUKI/BAKITA kwa bara na nitaongeza umbo la Atlasi kwa Shule za Msingi.

Naona heri tufuate umbo la Atlasi kwa sababu hii ni kitabu kinachotumiwa, tofauti na orodha zile zilizotajwa. Unaonaje ? --Kipala 18:32, 8 Oktoba 2006 (UTC)

Kipala, nimefahamu sababu zako za kupea nchi majina fulani. Lakini nafikiri si mzuri kutumia kitabu kimoja ili kuchagua majina haya. Ni kweli kama wanaisimu hawakubali kuhusu utumiaji wa majina ya nchi. Hata mimi sipendi majina kadhaa, kama Gine na Kotivaa (hata Samarino). Wala sipendi mtindo wa kufuata matamshi ya Kiingereza. Lakini nani atachagua? Ni sisi wazungu au wazungumzaji wa kienyeji? Inaonekana kwangu kama ni lazima tuhakikishe utumiaji wa majina ya nchi miongoni mwa wananchi na kwa magazeti.

Tusipotumia majina ambayo yanafuata matamshi ya Kiingereza, tutafuata matamshi gani? Kama hakuna jina ambalo linatumika sana, labda tungetumia jina rasmi linalotumika nchini, k.m. Guyana au San Marino. Pengine tunaweza kufuata majina yanayotumika kwa lugha zingine za Bantu. K.m., “Kameruni” hutumika kwa Kinyarwanda. Nafikiri afadhali tutie –i nyuma ya majina rasmi ambayo mwisho yao ni konsonanti, kwa sababu hii haipatikani kwa maneno ya lugha za Bantu.

Kwa kila hali haya ni majadiliano baina ya wazungu wawili. Afadhali tukaribishe wananchi. ChriKo 21:34, 9 Oktoba 2006 (UTC)

Makala za mamalia

Kipala na Muddyb, salaam. Nawaandikia tena kuhusu rafiki yetu Mjanja. Ameanzisha makala nyingi kuhusu mamalia ambao hawatokei Afrika. Pengine naweza kukubali majina anayotumia, lakini kuna mengine ambayo ameyabuni kabisa au anayatumia kwa njia mbaya. Sidhani ni mzuri kama msemaji asiye mwenyeji anabuni majina mapya. Tafadhali hii ifanywe na wataalamu wa kienyeji. Majina nisiyoyakubali ni yafuatayo:

• Sloth - Mvivu-miti
• Platypus - Domobata
• Anteater - Mhanga mkubwa
• Echidna - Mhanganungu
• Horseshoe crab - Kaangao
• Skunk - Kinyegere
• Beaver - Panyabuku-maji
• Gila monster - Dubwana-gila
• Tasmanian tiger - Thilasini

Mnajua wataalamu (wanazoolojia) ambao watakubali kubuni majina ya wanyama haya kwa Kiswahili? Zamani nimeandikia wanazoolojia katika Tanzania na Kenya, lakini hakuna mtu aliyejibu. ChriKo (majadiliano) 23:02, 20 Julai 2011 (UTC)

Nakubali - asianzishe. Je tufute zote? Menginevyo: nimempata mtaalamu 1 anayejibu mara kadhaa lakiní yeye mwalimu wa astrologia. Wengine: maaraida swa na yako. Kipala (majadiliano) 22:35, 21 Julai 2011 (UTC)

Kwa maoni yangu unaweza kuzifuta. Nitaendelea kutafuta wanazoolojia walio tayari kutafsiri majina ya wanyama wasiotokea Afrika. Itakuwa ngumu kwa sababu siishi katika Afrika ya Mashariki sikuhizi.ChriKo (majadiliano) 23:27, 22 Julai 2011 (UTC)

ChriKo, nataka kukuambia tu nafurahia kila safari ninapokuona jinsi unavyoendelea kujenga msingi wa wikipedia yetu kazika habari za biolojia. Asante. 91.98.113.164 18:44, 9 Oktoba 2011 (UTC)

Désolé

Hello ChriKo,
I'm afraid I don't speak a single word of swahili, so I could not even read your message of Decembre 4th. If you could have it translated into english, I would be able to read and most probably understand it, and then answer it if needed. Anyway, I thank you very much for the attention you paid to my humble person.

Jamii:Mitishamba

Nimekuta leo jamii hii nikashangaa kidogo. Sijaangalia yote lakini ninahisi ni zaidi miti ya matunda ambayo si "mitishamba" - yaani dawa (la kienyeji) kutokana na mimea inayopatikana katika mazingira. Lakini haimaanisha "Miti inayokua shambani". Kama nimekosea naomba maelezo zaidi. Kipala (majadiliano) 13:35, 11 Februari 2012 (UTC)

Ndiyo, uko sahihi. Sikufikiria vizuri. Nikikuta jamii hii, niliangalia ndani yake nikaona miti ya matunda. Kwa hivyo nimeongeza miti ya matunda mingine. Lakini kweli, “mitishamba” ni dawa litokalo shambani au msituni. Nitaondoa miti ya matunda. ChriKo (majadiliano) 19:06, 11 Februari 2012 (UTC)

Article requests in Swahili

Hi! I know you are sw-2. Are you interested in writing short stubs for the Swahili Wikipedia? Thanks WhisperToMe (majadiliano) 01:18, 24 Julai 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I am already writing plenty of articles, stubs and otherwise, for the Swahili Wikipedia. What kind of stubs would you want me to write? ChriKo (majadiliano) 12:20, 24 Julai 2013 (UTC)

The stubs I had in mind are mainly government agencies, including radio producers, public school systems, and an aviation authority. The list includes:

Viungo vya interwiki katika makala mpya

Salaam tele Nd. ChriKo kutoka mjini Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! Baada ya salaam, ninapenda kukumbusha kuhusu uwekaji wa viungo vya interwiki katika makala mpya. Hivi karibuni nimeona ukiandika makala bila viungo vya Wikipedia zingine. Wamebadili utaratibu wa kuunganisha Wikipedia moja kwenda nyingine - je, ushajua namna ya kuunganisha? Binafsi nimeunga ya "Lemuri-spoti" kwenda ENWIKI. Tafadhali nijuze kama unaona kuna kikwazo katika hilo. Wako,--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 06:00, 19 Agosti 2013 (UTC)

Salaam kwako Muddyb. Uko sahihi. Tangu njia hii mpya kuweka viungo imetekeleza, ninasahau kuviweka mara kwa mara. Nitaisahihisha. Asante kwa kunikumbusha. ChriKo (majadiliano) 21:34, 19 Agosti 2013 (UTC)

Naomba ushirikiano wako!

Mpendwa, nakuomba uangalie baada ya siku 2,3 kurasa hizi mbili:

1. Wikipedia:Wakabidhi#Kusafisha_orodha_ya_Wakabidhi_mwaka_2014
2. Wikipedia:Ukurasa_wa_jumuia#Wiki_Indaba_2014

Kuhusu 1) napendekeza kuwachagua wakabidhi wapya na kuondoa wale waliomo katika orodha ya wakabidhi lakini hawakuwepo tangu miaka 2.

Kuhusu 2): nahitaji msaada na mawazo yenu. Nitashiriki kwenye mkutano wa Wikimedia mwezi wa Juni. Inaonekana mimi ndipo mchnagiaji wa pekee kutoka Wikipedia yetu. Ninajitahidi kupeleka mawazo ya jumuiya yetu. Naomba michango!

Nitaongeza karibuni mawazo yangu kuhusu mambo ninayoona kuwa na maana kwa mtazamo wangu. Ujumb huu natuma kwa wachangiaji wanaoonekana katika orodha ya wachangiaji hai waliochangia zaidi ya mara 3 katika siku 30 zilizopita!

Ndimi wako Kipala (majadiliano) 20:18, 13 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Kipala salaam. Nakushukuru kunipendekeza kwa kuwa mkabidhi. Hata sasa nimekataa, lakini nafikiri siwezi kuendelea kukataa. Kama watu wa kutosha wakisema ndiyo nitafanya bidii. Natumaini kwamba nitapata hatua ya kutosha.

Kuhusu mkutano, nilitaka kwenda lakini kwa bahati mbaya nilipata kazi ya ushauri wakati huo huo (si mbaya sana kwa mfuko wangu bila shaka). Nafikiri ni lazima uzungumze kuhusu shida ya kupata wachangiaji kwa Wikipedia ya Kiswahili. Nadhani ni sawa kwa lugha nyingine za kiafrika. Ninajua kwamba ni hivyo kwa ile ya Wolof. Tunahitaji waafrika wa kike hasa kwa wachangiaji, ijapo hata nambari ya waafrika wa kiume si kubwa sana. Nimejaribu tangu miaka bila mafanikio mengi. Tangu mwaka uliopita mtu fulani huko Kenya anasaidia kutafuta wachangiaji, lakini hajafanikiwa. Watu wengi huuliza mara moja kama watalipwa. Tukisema hapana hatusikii habari zao tena kwa kawaida. Tunahitaji mpango mbunifu ili kuhimiza vijana hasa wakuwe wachangiaji. Na labda tungelipa watu mara kwa mara, lakini ni ya kukanganya.

Heri kwako! ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:28, 14 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Kwanza nafurahi ya kwmaba umekubali kuwa mkabidhi. Kuhusu Joburg: mwenyewe sipendezwi na kuwalipa watu - lakini naweza kuitaja kama hoja. (ingawa neno "kukaganya" sijaelewa). Binafsi naona maana ya kuchangia kama kazi kwa wakati ujao. Hali jinsi ilivyo sasa ni chombo kinachotumika tayari na watu - naona karibu lakhi 1 kila siku! (http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN_Africa/TablesPageViewsMonthlyCombined.htm). Kila tunapoboresha watu wanaona. Idadi ndogo ya wachangiaji kwangu ni mazingira magumu.. yatakayobadilika. Kipala (majadiliano) 12:30, 19 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Sawasawa, hakuna shida. ("Kukanganya" ni kama "kutatiza") ChriKo (majadiliano) 21:08, 20 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Kura kwa Malangali

Salaam, Ndg ChriKo. Nilivyoandika kwenye ukurasa wa Wakabidhi, nimefurahi sana kuwa Ndg Malangali amerudi kwetu. Sasa ungeweza kutafakari kura yako tena kuhusu kumwondolea haki au la. Wasalaam, --Baba Tabita (majadiliano) 07:30, 20 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Ndg Tabita salaam. Asante kwa kunijulisha. Nimebadilisha kura yangu. ChriKo (majadiliano) 21:15, 20 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Mbwa na jamaa vs Canidae

Salaam ChriKo naona sasa tu kuna mifumo miwili, moja chini ya Mamalia ni "Majina ya mamalia kwa Kiswahili" . Nimeigundua katika orodha mbili za Jamii:Mbwa na jamaa upande moja na Jamii:Canidae. Ulilenga nini? ni sawa kuziweka pande zote mbili au tujenge utaratibu kivipi? Kipala (majadiliano) 20:06, 31 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Salaam Kipala. Nimeweka njia mbili za kufika ukurasa fulani wa wanyama au mimea: kupitia majina ya Kiswahili au kupitia majina ya sayansi. Ukitazama vizuri utaona majina ya Kiswahili tu katika jamii Mbwa na jamaa, na majina ya sayansi tu katika jamii Canidae. Natumaini ni sawasawa. ChriKo (majadiliano) 21:05, 31 Mei 2014 (UTC)

Uko wapi?

ChriKo, samahani nikiuliza swali la binafsi. Je uko Ulaya? Maana naangalia takwimu kwa ajili ya somo langu kwenye mkutano wa WikiIndaba; naona takwimu ya kuwa asilimia 24 za hariri zetu zatoka "Europe unspecified". Ilhali "Iran" (=mimi) inaonyeshwa kwa 15% nafikiri wewe labda umo katika hizi 24%. Ni kweli wewe? (Nyingine zinazotajwa ni Tanzania 30% = nadhani Muddy, Riccardo na wengine moja-moja, Canada 5% (?), Italy 4 % (?), USA 3 %...)

Kipala, usijali. Hii si siri. Kwa kweli, ninasafiri sana, lakini siko katika Ulaya mara nyingi. Takriban 60% ya wakati niko Maroko, 25% huko Kenya na mabaki katika nchi nyingine, Afrika hasa. ChriKo (majadiliano) 10:03, 4 Juni 2014 (UTC)

Nashangaa kwamba nchi ya Kenya haijatajwa katika takwimu ya Kipala, hasa kama ChriKo, unasafiri kwetu mara kwa mara, tena nami naishi hapa Kenya 80% za muda wangu wote. Labda tuangalie orodha hii mwezi kwa mwezi. Wasalaam, --Baba Tabita (majadiliano) 10:48, 4 Juni 2014 (UTC)

Virusi

Ndugu, kwanza nakupongeza kwa kazi zako. Sizipitii sana kwa sababu si mtaalamu wa biolojia. Mimi na wewe tunachangia Wiki katika mada tofauti, ila kwa lengo moja. Juzi nilipendekeza tujadili msamiati virusi kwa kuwa unasumbua, lakini leo naona umebadilisha virusi vi... kwenda virusi i... Nimechunguza katika kamusi za hivi karibuni, lakini hazikubali sahihisho hilo. Zinasemba ngeli yake ni vi. Isitoshe kamusi mbili zinakubali hata kirusi katika umoja. Ni kweli kwamba virusi ni neno la Kizungu, na halianzi kwa vi- kwa sababu ya ngeli, lakini katika maisha ya kila siku matumizi ni kama haya. Wasalamu. --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 13:47, 18 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Baada ya kuandika hivyo, nimekuta jibu lako katika Majadiliano ya Ebola. Basi, naongeza kwamba lugha mara nyingi haina mantiki. Inakwenda na watu ambao mara nyingi hawaelewi asili ya maneno. Tunaweza kupinga kwa muda, k.mf. wanaposema "Ana malaria mengi", lakini hatimaye hata wanaistilahi lazima wakubali. Kwa mfano kitabu na kibali si maneno ya ngeli ki-/vi-, bali i-/zi- kadiri ya Kiarabu, lakini nana atayatumia tena hivyo? --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 13:53, 18 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Asante. Ndiyo, mara nyingi lugha hazina mantiki. Nimekupa hoja yangu, lakini najua kama nimeshindwa. Watu wameanza kutumia kirusi/virusi. Kipala alijaribu pia, lakini hata yeye ameshindwa. Angalia: http://www.jamiiforums.com/jukwaa-la-lugha/75780-virusi-vya-au-virusi-ya-za.html. ChriKo (majadiliano) 21:30, 18 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Samahani kama sishiriki sana katika majadiliano haya, niko safari sasa Marekani kumtembelea kijana wangu nakaa hasa kwenye makambi (camping) na intaneti inapatikana mara chache tu. Ni kweli ya kwamba watu wasio wachache wanaona "VIRUSI" kuwa katika ngeli ya ki-vi ingawa sijaona mtaalamu yeyote kusema hivyo.

Basi naona mawili: A) inafaa kuangalia jinsi watu wenyewe wanavyosema (maana mimi ni mluteri na mzee wetu alisema "sharti kutazama midomo ya watu") B) inafaa pia kuwakumbuka Waswahili (yaani watumiaji wa lugha) wasiozoea Kiswahili sanifu kwa namna yoyote kama huko Kenya au Kongo. Kutokana na A na B naona haina kasoro tukiendelea kutumia virusi moja - virusi nyingi maana wote wanaelewa hata kama wengine wanalalamika.

Lakini kama mchangiaji fulani anaona tofauti basi tumwache. Menginevyo siku ile Kiswahili sanifu inayoeleweka na kukubaliwa kitatokea tunaweza kusahihisha kila kitu. Mnaonaje? Kipala (majadiliano) 05:57, 20 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Poleni kwa zogo. Mnafikiria sana juu ya hizi lugha. Nionacho mimi hapa ni A) Mmegubikwa na tafsiri halisi ya Kiingereza - hivyo mnajaribu kuleta maana ya Kiingereza hata katika istilahi za Kiswahili. Kama imeshindikana kwa Kiingereza - si lazima kwa Kiswahili ishindikane! B) Nimeona wataalamu kabisa wanasema virusi na kirusi. Tena naenda mbali zaidi Mwalimu wangu wa bailojia alikuwa anazungumza lugha hizi za kirusi na virusi mara kwa mara. HITIMISHO: Kwetu tunasema virusi/kirusi. Yaani, tunatumia lugha za wingi na umoja kana kwamba hili neno tumelizaa sisi! Hadi raha! Kila la kheri.--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 08:04, 20 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Kama nimeshasema, nafikiri muda umekwisha. Hatuwezi kusimamisha tsunami, hata kama wataalamu wa lugha ya Kiswahili wataamua kwamba virusi ni 9/10. Lakini kila mtu afanye vile anafikiri ni bora. ChriKo (majadiliano) 10:35, 21 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Mzee ChriKo hapo utakuwa umesusa. Na hilo halikuwa lengo! Kila la kheri..--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 07:14, 22 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Sikuwa na nia ya kusababisha zogo, ila kuona namna ya kwenda pamoja tusianze vita vya uhariri. Nadhani kitu kikubwa ni kwamba huku umepita moka kwa moja msamiati VVU kwa HIV, na tafsiri yake ni Virusi Vya Ukimwi. Ndugu Kipala, ukitaka kuona wataalamu waliopitisha Kirusi, kuna Concise Dictionary by Snoxwall and Mshindo, pia Kamusi Teule. Hata mimi sipendi sana, lakini tunajikuta katika hali hii. --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 12:32, 22 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Ndiyo Riccardo, tusianze vita vya uhariri. Na la Muddyb, sitaki kususa. Nitaacha kusahihisha "virusi vya" au "kirusi cha", lakini mimi mwenyewe nitaendelea kuandika "virusi ya" na "virusi za". Hata maneno mengine, kama "vita", yalikuwa katika ngeli mbili, walau zamani. ChriKo (majadiliano) 18:43, 24 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Bado niko mbali likizoni (yaani siwezi kuangalia kila siku) lakini napenda kusema mawili:

A) asante Muddy na Ricardo kwa kutuelimisha ya kwamba Kirusi siku hizi si lugha pekee mbali mdudu pia (pole lakini!)

B) Menginevyo namwunga mkono Chriko. Sioni hasara tukiacha yote kandokando (yaani kirusi cha na virusi ya) ilhali tu wasomaji wanaelewa. Hata kama wachache wanashagaa. Kama msemaji wa Kirusi anapata kirusi cha mafua, pole yake! Hata niko tayari kuangalia filamu kwa njia ya kideo, kama ni lazima sana. Pia namshukuru Mungu kila siku kwa sababu sijawahi kuona mwenyewe hata kita kimoja mwaishani mwangu. -- Basi, niache michezo hii maana lugha yangu ya Mama (Kijerumani) haina mantiki yoyote katika sarufi (der - die - das) kwa hiyo sina haki ya kulalamika uhaba wa mantiki kwa Kiswahili. (Ila tu zamani mwalimu wangu alidai iko...) Kipala (majadiliano) 05:50, 25 Agosti 2014 (UTC)

Upangaji wa kurasa za Punda, Punda-Kaya, na Asinus

Habari yako ChirKo. Inaonekana nilifanya makosa kwa kusogeza matini ya orodha ya spishi za Punda toka ukurasa wa Punda mpaka ukurasa wa Asinus. Naomba msamaha sana. Sasa, nafahamu ungependa kutumia ukurasa wa Punda kuwakilisha nusujenasi yote ya Asinus, na ukurasa wa Punda-Kaya kuwakilisha Punda afugwaye. Je, ninaelewa kwa usahihi unavyokusudi? Rberetta (majadiliano) 04:46, 26 Oktoba 2014 (UTC)

Rberetta salaam. Umefahamu vizuri lakini hakuna haja kuomba samahani. Ulifanya vile ulifikiri ni bora. Lakini tunapendelea kurasa zenye vichwa kwa Kiswahili. Endelea kazi yako nzuri. ChriKo (majadiliano) 18:17, 26 Oktoba 2014 (UTC)

Swali kuhusu mbinu ya viungo

Salaam ChirKo - nina swali jingine: Umeandika vigezo kadhaa vya oda za mamalia. Vigezo vichache vinatumia viungo nyoofu, kama hiki:

• [[Paa (Bovidae)|Cephalophinae]] --> Paa (Bovidae)

huko vingine vinatumia kurasa za kuelekeza, kama hiki:

• [[Cephalophinae]] --> #REDIRECT [[Paa (Bovidae)]] --> Paa (Bovidae)

Tukiendelea mbele, ungependelea mbinu ipi? Ninafikiri kurasa za kuelekeza ni bora, kwani mbinu hii itadumu zaidi kama mtu mwingine aje kuandika makala yenye majina ya Kilatini.

Nikihariri vigezo vyako kusahihisha viungo ambavyo vimevunjika, ningependa kufanya kawaida hivyo viungo pia. Je, unakubali? Rberetta (majadiliano) 15:46, 28 Oktoba 2014 (UTC)

Rberetta salaam. Tafadhali nieleze maana ya "kiungo nyoofu". Isipokuwa hiyo nani ameweka Cephalophinae kama ukurasa wa kuelekeza? Ukurasa huu haupo bado. Au umeiandika kama mfano? Unanikumbusha nimwumbe ukurasa huu. Pengine ukurasa wa kuelekeza ni bora lakini sikubali kwa mfano wa majina ya Kilatini. Sitaki watu waandike kurasa zenye vichwa kwa Kilatini isipokuwa kama hakuna tafsiri katika Kiswahili. ChriKo (majadiliano) 22:48, 28 Oktoba 2014 (UTC)

Pole - nilieleza vibaya. Nilitumia ukurasa wa Cephalophinae kama mfano tu - ndiyo kabla ya wewe kuandika ukurasa huo, haukuwepo. Niliandika "kiungo nyoofu" kumaanisha "direct link", kama hiki:

• [[Paa (Bovidae)|Cephalophinae]] --> Paa (Bovidae)

Kiungo hiki chafanya kazi bila kutumia ukurasa wa kuelekeza. Sasa hivi, kiungo hiki kipo katika Kigezo:Artiodactyla. Kigezo:Lagomorpha inatumia viungo na kurasa za kuelekeza, kama hiki:

• [[Bunolagus]] --> #REDIRECT [[Sungura]] --> Sungura

Katika vigezo ulivyoandika, viungo vingi ni viungo nyoofu, na viungo vichache vinatumia kurasa za kuelekeza. Lakini, umefanya kazi nyingi kuumba kurasa nyingi za kuelekeza, kwa hiyo mimi sikujua mbinu uliyopendelea.

Mimi sitaki kukushawishi kutumia mbinu yoyote - nataka kujua tu pendekezo lako, na nitafuata hilo pendekezo.

Pia - tafadhali nifundishe njia sahihi ya kusema "direct link" kwa Kiswahili!

Ok, sawasawa tu. Ninatumia ukurasa wa kuelekeza nikifikiri kwamba kuna uwezekano mzuri kwamba mtu fulani atatafuta neno hili katika Wikipedia ya Kiswahili. Na kama likiwa jina kwa Kilatini, faida ya ukurasa wa kuelekeza ni nafasi ya kuingiza jamii. Nadhani uliona kwamba ninatumia jamii za majina kwa Kilatini na jamii za majina kwa Kiswahili ili kufika kwenye ukurasa fulani wa kiumbehai.

Swali lako kuhusu "direct link" ni ngumu kidogo. Ningependekeza "kiungo cha moja kwa moja".

ChriKo (majadiliano) 23:47, 29 Oktoba 2014 (UTC)

Naomba ushauri wako kuhusu muundo wa kurasa za wanyama

ChirKo Salaam. Nimekuwa nikifanya kazi kufanya kawaida kurasa zote za familia Bovidae. Labda umekuwa ukiniangalia. Sasa, nipo karibu na kuimaliza kazi hii, na naomba maoni na ushauri zako. Kama kuna kitu chochote ambacho ungependa kufanywa tofauti, tafadhali niambie, na nitafanya hivyo. Kwa mfano:

• Kurasa chache zilikuwa zikitumia <small> kwenye maelezo ya ngazi za uainishaji. Niliondoa <small> kuzifanya kawaida kurasa hizo. Lakini, labda ungependa <small> kutumiwa? Kama hivyo, hamna shida - nitazibadilisha zote.
  • Mfano wa matumizi ya <small> ni: "Faila: Chordata (Wanyama wenye ugwe wa neva mgongoni)
• Nilianzisha kurasa tano zilizo na majina ya Kilatini, kwa sababu sijui majina ya Kiswahili yangefaa. Kurasa hizo ni Alcelaphinae, Antilopinae, Bovinae, Hippotraginae na Reduncinae. Wewe ukijua majina ya Kiswahili ambayo ungependelea, tafadhali niambie na nitazisogeza kurasa hizo.
• Nilianzisha kurasa mpya kadhaa za kuelekeza kwa ajili ya jenasi na nusufamilia kadhaa ambazo hazikuwa na kurasa. Sasa, [[Jamii:Bovidae]] inakuwa kubwa kidogo. Ungependa nibadilishe kurasa za kuelekeza kutumia ngazi mbili - ngazi ya kwanza ikitumiwa kwa nusufamilia zote, na ngazi ya pili ikitumiwa kwa jenasi zilizo chini ya ngazi ya nusufamilia? Au niziache kama zilivyo?

Kukuhabarisha, Orodha kamili ya kurasa za familia ya Bovidae ninazingatia ni:

Alcelaphinae, Antilopinae, Baisani, Bovinae, Choroa, Digidigi, Dondoo, Hippotraginae, Kondoo-kaya, Kongoni, Korongo_(Bovidae), Kuro_(jenasi), Maksai_aktiki, Mbuzi, Mbuzi-kaya, Ng'ombe, Ngurunguru, Nyamera_(jenasi), Nyati_wa_Afrika, Nyumbu, Paa_(Bovidae), Pofu_(jenasi), Pongo, Reduncinae, Suni, Swala, Swala_pala, Tandala, Taya_(mnyama), Tohe

Rberetta salaam. Ndiyo, niliangalia kazi yako, ni kazi nzuri. Endelea tu. Sina malalamiko mengi. Nisipopenda kitu, ninakibadilisha, hakuna shida. Halafu utaona vile ninaipenda. Jambo hili la kuweka maelezo ya ngazi kwa herufi ndogo nafikiri ni fikira nzuri. Ukitaka badilisha tu yote, lakini itakuwa kazi kubwa.

Kurasa zenye majina ya Kilatini ni sawa isipokuwa majina ya Kiswhahili. Hata kwa lugha nyingine, kama Kiingereza, familia na nusufamilia hazina majina ya kienyeji. Lakini nadhani kwamba hakuna haja kuweka spishi zote za nusufamilia ndani ya ukurasa wake. Weka tu majina ya jenasi. Nimebadilisha ukurasa wa Alcelaphinae kukuonyesha jinsi ningefanya kazi hii. Mwsihowe, usisahau kutia sahihi ukiandika kitu katika majadiliano (~ nne). ChriKo (majadiliano) 23:50, 10 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Asante ChirKo. Sawa, nitatumia mabadilisho uliyofanya katika Alcelaphinae kama mfano, na nitafanya hivyo katika kurasa mpya nilizoanzisha. Lakini niliona suala moja - ulibadilisha [[Jamii:Bovidae]] kuwa [[Jamii:Alcelaphinae]]. Je, ulikusudi kufanya hivyo? Alcelaphinae siyo nusufamilia ya Alcelaphinae yenyewe, ni nusufamilia ya Bovidae. Au mimi sielewi? Rberetta (majadiliano) 01:02, 11 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Ndiyo, ni kweli kwamba Alcelaphinae ni nusufamilia ya Bovidae, lakini ukurasa wa nusufamilia fulani lazima uwemo katika jamii ya nusufamilia yake. Halafu jamii hii itakuwamo katika jamii ya familia yake. ChriKo (majadiliano) 11:07, 11 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Sawa - naelewa. Nilitumia mfano wako kubadilisha kurasa zote za nusufamilia. Asante. Rberetta (majadiliano) 17:50, 11 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Aloe - Mshubiri

Salamu ChriKo, katika Majadiliano:Shishiyu kijana wa huko ameuliza swali kuhusu Aloe vera. Ningependa kusaidia lakini si mtaalamu. Unaonaje: Ingekuwa sawa kuanzisha makala ya "Mshubiri" kwa jenasi "Aloe" halafu "Aloe vera" kama makala ya spishi? Nimekuta hii: Traditional Food Plants: A Resource Book ambako mwandishi anaona jina "mshubiri" pia kwa Aloe maculata - prev. A. saponaria lakini kufuatana na en:Aloe maculata maculata ni mmea wa Afrika Kusini pekee (siku hizi pia mmea wa mapambo Marekani).

Halafu: tuna neno kwa "succulents"? "Mimea ya utomvu"? "Mimea chapachapa /chepechepe" (pendekezo la KAST). Una ushauri? Asante Kipala (majadiliano) 14:53, 29 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Kipala salaam. "Mshubiri" au "msubili" ni majina kwa spishi kadhaa za Aloe. Nimepata "kisimamleo" pia, lakini sijui ni spishi gani. Kwa asili majina ya kwanza yalitumiwa kwa spishi za Afrika ya Mashariki, lakini nafikiri tunaweza kuyatumia kwa spishi zote sasa. Kwa hivyo, hata Aloe maculata ni "mshubiri". Nitajaribu kupata nafasi kuanzisha makala yake.

Tafsiri ya "succulent plant" si rahisi. Niliona tafsiri kadhaa lakini sizipendi. Ni wazi kwamba wafasiri/wapendekezaji wengi hawafahamu biolojia sana. Sijui kwamba istilahi moja imeshazagaa sana katika shule na vyuo nyingi. Mimi ninapenda "mmea mwenye majani manono". ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:25, 29 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Asante kwa maelezo. makala iliyotafutwa hasa ilikuwa kuhusu Aloe vera. Hapa sioni tatizo kutumia jina hili la Kilatini maana inatumiwa kwa Kiswahili siku hizi. ila tu kwa maelezo sawa tutumie mshubiri kwa jenasi Aloe. Kuhsu succulentes sina upendeleo wowote ila ti swali: je "mmea mwenye majani manono" ni kweli tunachotaka? Si mtaalamu lakini nikiangalia maelezo mimea hii inatunza maji mara nyingi kwenye majani, lakini mengine pia katika shina. Nimeelewa vema? Sasa kama tunatumia lugha inayotaja majani pekee - je tunaweza kuingiza pia mimea inayotunza maji shinani? Kipala (majadiliano) 17:28, 30 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Ndiyo, "Aloe vera" inaweza kuwa kichwa cha makala. Kuhusu "succulents", ukitaka kutumia uhakika kwamba mimea hii ina utomvu mwingi katika majani na mashina, basi sema "mimea wenye utomvu mwingi". Lakini kwa mtazamo mwangu, hakuna tafsiri fupi ambaye inajulisha maana yake kabisa. Kwa hivyo ninapendekeza kuswahilisha (kuna neno kama hili?) istilahi hii: "sukulenti". Maneno mengi yameswahilishwa. ChriKo (majadiliano) 18:14, 30 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Labda "sukyulenti"? Silabi "kyu" ni adimu sana katika Kiswahili, lakini neno lingine lililo na silabi hayo ni neno lililoswahilishwa pia "molekyuli". Rberetta (majadiliano) 18:45, 30 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

Tukichagua "sukyulenti", basi tunafanya "barbarishaji" (shenzishaji?) mbili: kwanza uingerezishaji kutoka Kilatini na halafu uswahilishaji. Kwa sababu mimi si Mwingereza, siipendi sana. ChriKo (majadiliano) 19:31, 30 Novemba 2014 (UTC)

☺☺ Unasema kweli! Pia ni ya ukweli kwa mfano wa molekyuli - Kilatini lilikuwa "molecula" --> swahilisha --> "molekula". Kwa bahati mbaya, wasemaji wengi sana wa Kiswahili wanalazimishwa kusoma Kiingereza, yakisababisha Kiswahili kuingerezishwa. Haya pia yalikuwa ya kishenzi... Rberetta (majadiliano) 00:41, 1 Desemba 2014 (UTC)

Kuhusu "upijinizaji" naunga mkono. Haya twende kwa "sukulenti" pamoja na "mimea wenye utomvu mwingi" (redirect). "Mimea nono" ingekuwa fupi zaidi na kulingana na majina mafupi katika lugha za Kizungu (Fettpflanze, fat plant, vetplant) lakini sijaona lugha kama hii kwa Kiswahili Kipala (majadiliano) 06:43, 1 Desemba 2014 (UTC)

Hua - Columbidae

Salaam Christiaan naomba uangalie Majadiliano:Hua nimeshauliza huko je hii makala kweli inahusu streptopelia tu... Wakati ule nilitaka kuongeza jinsi nilivyotaja, sasa niangalia upya kwa sababu niko kwenye makala 1000 na kama ni sawa kuunganisha na Columbidae, basi - naweza kufuta hii kwenye orodha yangu. Unasemaje ? Kipala (majadiliano) 20:58, 14 Desemba 2014 (UTC)

Salaam, nimejibu swali lako kwenye Majadiliano:Hua. Spishi za Columbidae zina majina kadhaa: njiwa, hua, tetere, kuyu, fumvu, pugi na huji. ChriKo (majadiliano) 18:41, 15 Desemba 2014 (UTC)

Matamvua?

Salaam Chriko, naandika sasa juuu ya mfumo wa upumuaji na upumuo. Samaki huwa na matamvua (gills), lakini naona unatumia neno hili katika makala juu ya Bundi (Strigidae). Tutofautishe namna gani? Kipala (majadiliano) 20:48, 12 Juni 2015 (UTC)

Kipala salaam. Hiki ni kitu ambacho sijamaliza. Kwa kweli neno "matamvua" lina maana nyingine pia, k.m. "fringe, edge" (maana ya asili nadhani). Nilitaka kutafsiri "serrated edge" lakini sikuweza na baadaye nimesahau kitu hiki. ChriKo (majadiliano) 09:54, 18 Juni 2015 (UTC)

Mume na mke

Salamu nyingi kutoka Morogoro. Nimeona pendekezo lako la kuunganisha mume na mwanamume, mke na mwanamke. Kwa kweli sijaelewa sababu. Katika lugha nyingi kurasa hizo ni tofauti, k.mf. man na husband, woman na wife kwa Kiingereza. Mimi ni mwanamume lakini sijawahi kuwa mume, wala sina mpango... --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 14:13, 29 Juni 2015 (UTC)

Salamu kutoka Nanyuki ambapo kwetu muunganisho kwa mtandao ni mbaya. Ninaona vile unataka kusema. Ok, nitaondoa ombi la kuunganisha. Lakini fafanua tafadhali katika makala hizi. ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:35, 30 Juni 2015 (UTC)

Silausi Nassoro

Ndugu Christiaan, salaam. Nimeanza kuchoka na Silausi alivyochoka pia Ndg Muddyb. Huyo Silausi akiendelea kubadilisha makala bila kufuata mashauri yetu na kanuni za Wikipedia:Umaarufu, nitamzuia kwa muda kadhaa. Bahati mbaya inaonekana kama ataanzisha akaunti nyingine tena alivyofanya baada ya kuzuiliwa kama Mtumiaji:Lusajo Chicharito Brown. Unaonaje? Wasalaam, Baba Tabita (majadiliano) 16:46, 29 Juni 2015 (UTC)

Salaam ndugu Oliver. Hata mimi nimechoka na huyo Silausi. Mzuie basi asichange tena. ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:42, 30 Juni 2015 (UTC)

Tafadhali uangalie jamii kuhusu mfumo wa kuanzisha makala

Mpendwa, nakuomba kuaangalia ukurasa wa Jumuiya. Tuliomba wikimedia ya kutpa mfumo wa kuzuia watumiaji wasiojiandikisha wasianzise makala mapya. Kusudi lilikuwa kupunguza idadi ya makala mabaya yasiyotosheleza masharti ya wikipedia ilhali tuko wachache mno kuziangalia. Wikipedia kubwa kadhaa zinatumia utaratibu huu (kama en:wikipedia) lakini sisi tunapaswa kupeleka ombi kwa kamati fulani. Kamati hii wametupa nafasi kwa kipindi ha miezi 6 tu inayokwisha karibuni. Sasa wanakamati wamekuja wanadai tujieleza au watarudisha mfumo huu nyuma. Mimi nikiwa 1 kati ya wachache wanaochugulia makala mapya naona itaturudisha nyuma. Naomba mchangie! Sanaaaaa!! Kipala (majadiliano) 23:35, 10 Septemba 2015 (UTC)

Kidusia / Kimelea

Salaam ChriKo, nimetunga makala mafupi kuhusu vimelea. Nimeona ya kwamba wewe unapendelea Kidusia. Nikitazama kamusi naona kila sehemu kimelea, isipokuwa kwenye KAST inayotumia lemma "Kidusia (pia kimelea)". Hata nikitafuta kupitia googel napata mara nyingi kilemea. Sasa ukiona kudusia ni kawaida katika fani ya biolojia basi tuhamishe yote kule. Naomba ushauri wako! Kipala (majadiliano) 19:15, 2 Desemba 2015 (UTC)

Kipala salaam. Ndiyo, najua kwamba takriban watu wote hutumia "kimelea" kwa kutafsiri "parasite" katika maana zote za neno la Kiingereza. Lakini neno kimelea linatoka kwa "kumelea" yaani kumea mahali popote na kufunika na kukaba mimea mingine ya shamba au bustani. Kwa hivyo kimelea kwa asili ni mmea unaomea namna hiyo. Baadaye neno limeanza kutumika kwa mmea unaomea juu ya miti (mimea hii huitwa virukia pia). Wakati wa karne ya 20 neno limekopwa kwa kueleza viumbehai ambavyo vinaishi au vinamea ndani ya viumbehai vingine na hata wanyama wanaoishi juu ya wanyama wengine au mimea mingine wakifyunza damu au utomvu. Naweza kukubali kutumia kimelea kwa kueleza vidubini na kuvu fulani, lakini kwa wanyama hapana. Neno "kidusia" ni bora kwa sababu linatoka kwa kudusa yaani kula kwa gharama ya wengine. Siku moja nitatunga makala kuhusu kidusia. Nafikiri wewe hujachanga makala yako kuhusu kimelea. Ukifanya nitajaribu kuiboresha. ChriKo (majadiliano) 23:42, 2 Desemba 2015 (UTC)

Kimelea kipo tangu jana, pamoja mwelekezo kutoka kidusia. Menginevyo asante kwa maelezo kuhusu "kudusa", sijalijua neno sasa nimejifunza na kuelewa asili ya chaguo cha KAST iko wapi! Kipala (majadiliano) 06:19, 3 Desemba 2015 (UTC)

Amerika ya Kusinii

Salaam Christiaan, naomba angalia hapa [[2]]. Nimejaribu kuteua majina ya wanyama hao wa pekee lakini sijui kama yanafaa. Sahihisha tu! Kipala (majadiliano) 10:02, 5 Machi 2016 (UTC)

Steppe?

Salaam, natumaini ulikuwa na Pasaka njema! Siku hizi naangalia Urusi kwa sababu ya mgeni wetu.. Nahitaji neno kwa "steppe". Una ushauri? Mbuga wa manyasi? Pori ya manyasi? Pori manyasi? Porinyasi ? Kipala (majadiliano) 22:55, 7 Aprili 2016 (UTC)

Salaam. Pasaka yetu haikuwa njema kama tulivyopenda kwa sababu mke wangu hajaweza kutembea bado. "Steppe" ni eneo la manyasi bila miti au lenye miti michache na kwa Kiswahili eneo kama hili linaitwa mbuga. Kama eneo likiwa na miti mingi zaidi linaitwa savana. Pori ni istilahi ya jumla au eneo lenye miti na vichaka. Kwa hivyo nadhani kwamba tafsiri nzuri ya "steppe" ni mbuga. ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:14, 8 Aprili 2016 (UTC)

Asante kwa ushauri. Nimesita kutumia "mbuga" maana ni aina ya nchi inayopatikana Afrika. KWANZA Steppe ni aina ya nchi inayopatikana nje tabianchi ya tropiki. Vipi mbuga baridi? PILI nadhani mbuga ni steppe pamoja na aina za savannah, sivyo? Kipala (majadiliano) 19:14, 11 Aprili 2016 (UTC)

Kipala, samahani kwa sababu sinakubaliani na wewe. Kwa maoni yangu ukweli kwamba "steppe" haipatikani hapa Afrika siyo sababu ya kutotumia neno "mbuga". "Steppes" ni aina za "grasslands" na katika sehemu nyingine za dunia zinaitwa "prairy", "cerrado" na "grass savanna". Na "grassland" ni mbuga kwa Kiswahili. Kama "pori" likitumika kumaanisha aina maalumu ya mandhari hili ni eneo lenye vichaka vifupi vyingi (kama "maquis" au "karoo"). Kwa hivyo nadhani kwamba kutumia istilahi mpya "pori ya manyasi" si wazo zuri. Ukitaka tumia "mbuga baridi". ChriKo (majadiliano) 22:04, 15 Aprili 2016 (UTC)

Asante, twende mbuga baridi. Kipala (majadiliano) 14:07, 16 Aprili 2016 (UTC)

Jerry salaam. Asante sana kwa kuchangia makala kuhusu wanyama wa baharini. Lakini tafadhali hakikisha majina unayotumia. Unaweza kupendekeza majina mapya endapo hakuna majina kwa Kiswahili, lakini majina yaliyoko yana kipaumbele. Kwa mfano "papa kichwanyundo": ulibuni jina hili au linatumika kweli? Mimi, silijua. Ninajua "papa mbingusi" na "papa nyundo". ChriKo (majadiliano) 16:46, 3 Novemba 2016 (UTC)

Mimi ni mwezeshaji wa mradi uitwao Mwongozo Wa Kimataifa Wa Mwenendo Na Maadili. Ni mradi mchanga/mpya ambao Shirika la Wikimedia Foundation linanuia kuuanzisha endapo wadau wataona ni mradi unaofaa. Nakukaribisha usome mwongozo huo na kisha utoe maoni yako kwa kujibu maswali yote au baadhi yake kwa yale utakayopenda kuyatolea maoni HAPA

Taarifa zaidi kuhusu Mwongozo wa Kimataifa wa Nidhamu na Mwenendo


Shirika la Wikimedia Foundation lina mpango wa kuanzisha Mwongozo Wa Kimataifa Wa Mwenendo Na Maadili. Lengo la mwongozo huo ni kujaribu kuainisha vitu vya msingi vinavyopatikana katika miongozo midogo midogo iliyopo tayari katika kila jamii husika (mfano Jumuiya yetu hii ya wahariri wa Wikipedia ya Kiswahili). Lengo hasa la mwongozo huu ni kutengeneza mazingira ambayo wanawikipedia wote duniani watakuwa na uelewa wa pamoja juu ya vitu vya msingi kuhusu nini kinakubalika na kipi hakikubaliki wakati wa  uchangiaji (uhariri) wa Wikipedia na pale wanawikipedia wanapowasiliana kwenye Wikipedia au ana kwa ana katika warsha na mikutano ya Wanawikipedia. Wazo hilo limekuja baada kukithiri kwa baadhi ya Wanawikimedia kukumbana kufanyiwa unyanyasaji wa kitabia (mfano matusi, kuitana majina yasiyofaa, kutishiana n.k) na  Wanawikimedia wenzao, hivyo kuwakatisha tamaa ya kuendelea kuchangia katika miradi ya Wikimedia.Hivyo, wewe kama mdau muhimu katika miradi ya Wikimedia Foundation, unakaribishwa ku soma zaidi kuhusu mwongozo huo Hapana baada ya kuusoma mwongozo huo unaweza ku toa maoni yako Hapa kabla ya tar 15 April 2020.

Mwaliko wa kujiunga na kundi la Wahariri wa Wikipedia 


Nakukaribisha ujiunge na kundi la Wahariri wa Wikipedia kutoka Dar es Salaam ili tuweze kujadiliana na kubadilishana uzoefu na mambo kadha wa kadha kuhusu Uhariri wa Wikipedia. Iwapo utapenda kujiunga, usisite kuwasiliana nasi kupitia wikitzagroup@gmail.com, na kwa taarifa zaidi kuhusu kundi la Wahariri wa Wikipedia wa hapa Dar es Salaam na Tanzania kwa ujumla na miradi waliyoitekeleza tayari, unaweza tembelea hapa ukurasa wao wa  meta uitwao Wikimedia Community User Group Tanzania au pia katika Facebook kwa jila la Wikimedia Tanzania.

Hemp

Naomba uangalie makala ya Hemp, pamoja na katani. Hemp imeletwa sasa na mgeni; kwa Kiingereza kuna makala tofauti kwa en:Cannabis na en:Hemp. Makala yetu ya katani ilianzishwa na kijana ambaye alichangya na mkonge. Kamusi ya Mada ya 1905 (kabla ya kusambaa kwa mkonge) inasema "*Katani, n. also Kitani, flax, and what is made from it, linen, string, strong thread, twine. Uzi wa k, thread made of flax or hemp, as dist. from uzi wa pamba, cotton thread. (Ar. Cf. uzi, ugwe, kigwe, kamba.)" So should we have mkatani as separate entry (now wrongly redirect) - but then it is not clear to me if it is flax or hemp? Kipala (majadiliano) 05:19, 3 Julai 2020 (UTC)

Kipala salaam. Nadhani mchangiaji wa Hemp alitaka kuandika kuhusu aina za bangi zinazokuzwa ili kuzalisha nyuzi. Hiyo ni sawa kwangu, lakini anapaswa kutumia jina la Kiswahili. Nilipendekeza mbangi-mwitu kama tafsiri ya Cannabis sativa, lakini labda jina hili si zuri sana. Nitafikiria tena na kwa wakati huu niko wazi kwa maoni.

Suala la katani / kitani ni utata. Nadhani ni kweli neno moja, lakini siwezi kujua ni gani iliyokuja kwanza. Sina hakika kama ka- / ki- ni viambishi. Kwa hali yoyote, kuna majina kiasi ya mimea ya Kiswahili ambayo huanza na mki-, kwa hivyo mkatani na mkitani yangekuwa majina yanayokubalika. Nadharia tete yangu ni kwamba neno hilo lilitumiwa hapo awali kwa nyuzi za mimea kwa jumla, ingawa sijapata ushahidi madhubuti kwa hilo. Kwa vyovyote vile, utafiti wangu wa kwanza ulikuja na katani kwa hemp (mara nyingi sisal hemp lakini cannabis hemp pia) na kitani kwa flax. Leo nilichambua idadi kadhaa ya sentensi za Kiswahili zilizo na mojawapo la maneno haya. Isipokuwa visa vichache sana, katani ilitumika kwa hemp (pamoja na sisal tena) na kitani kwa flax. Kwa hivyo, tunaenda wapi kutoka hapa? Tunaweza kukubali kuwa katani hutumiwa kwa hemp na sisal pamoja au tunape kipaumbele matumizi yake kwa sisal na tunapendelea aina ya bangi kwa hemp. Unafikiria nini? ChriKo (majadiliano) 16:45, 3 Julai 2020 (UTC)

Kamusi ya Krapf, aliyekusanya maneno yake pale Mombasa (Kivita) ana hii: "KITANI, s., flax, linen;"

Ukiangalia hapa: mwongozo wa serikali ya TZ kwa ghala za korosho unatumia istilahi hivyo: "Korosho ghafi zimefungashwa kwenye gunia ya kitani(jute) au katani(sisal)".

Kamusi Kuu (BAKITA) inaeleza Katani kama kisawe cha mkonge, pia kama kamba, haina Kitani

Tuki Kisw-Kiing.: katani nm [i/zi-] hemp, sisal fibre.; robota* nm ma- [li-/ya-] bale: ~ la katani sisal bale. -- kitani nm vi- [ki-/vi-] linen, flax, duck

Kamusi Teule: kitani nm [ki-vi] nguo, kipande cha nguo, jora

Nimeangalia pia kamusi za Velten (1910), wakati Mkonge ulikuwa bado mmea mmpya. Natuma kopi kwako kwa baruapepe. Inaonekana hata kwake (nadhani alikusanya mengi pale Tanga) kitani na katani ni kama visawe, kiasili ni flax/hemp, lakini nyuzi zilizosafishwa ziliitwa "katani/kitani" bila kujali mmea gani. Hii inafanana na Kijerumani ambako zamani "Sisalhanf" ilikuwa kawaida (does NL not have "sisalhennep"?). Kwa hiyo walianza kuchanya maana hata siku zile.

Naona sasa pia interwiki imechanganywa katika swwiki kwa mkonge na katani. Kipala (majadiliano) 22:43, 3 Julai 2020 (UTC)

Kumbe, jute pia? Nilitafuta kwenye internet na ni kweli. Sasa tutafanyaje? Tutumie kitani kwa flax na jute na katani kwa sisal na hemp? ChriKo (majadiliano) 16:45, 4 Julai 2020 (UTC)

Fumbatio

Ndugu, vipi Kenya? Samahani, KKK na KK21 zinaweka fumbatio katika ngeli li/ya. Amani kwako! --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 09:56, 17 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)

Jambo, Kenya ni poa. Nilifuata TUKI ambayo inasema ngeli ya fumbatio ni n-. Lakini nimeona sasa kwamba li/ma ni kawaida. Asante. ChriKo (majadiliano) 13:31, 17 Oktoba 2020 (UTC)

Mtama

Ndugu, katika List of articles every Wikipedia should have, wameondoa Sorghum na kuweka badala yake Sorghum bicolor. Makala yetu imechanganya aina zote. Nakuomba utenganishe aina hiyo ili twende sawa na wenzetu. Amani kwako! --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 10:37, 8 Februari 2021 (UTC)

Asante ndugu kwa ujumbe wako. Niliangalia ukurasa wa mtama, lakini ni kuhusu Sorghum bicolor tu. Ama kuna ukurasa mwingine tena? ChriKo (majadiliano) 12:45, 8 Februari 2021 (UTC)

Nimefuatilia historia ya ukurasa: Kipala aliuanzisha kuhusu mtama aina zote, baadaye wewe uliufanya uhusu zaidi bicolor. Sasa napendekeza tutenganishe, la sivyo tubadilishe link. Asante. --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 14:05, 8 Februari 2021 (UTC)

Basi, nikielewa vizuri unataka makala mbili tofauti, moja kuhusu Sorghum na moja kuhusu Sorghum bicolor? ChriKo (majadiliano) 08:27, 9 Februari 2021 (UTC)

Walau mbili, kwa sababu mimi mwenyewe nililima mtama (millet, sorghum) na najua kuna aina nyingi: serena, ferefere, mzumai, ulezi, mawele, wimbi n.k. --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 10:53, 9 Februari 2021 (UTC)

Sawa, nimepata sasa. Serena na ferefere ni aina za mtama, lakini maelezo yao sinayo na siyaoni kwenye mtandao. Lakini makala za mzumai, ulezi, mawele na mwimbi zipo. ChriKo (majadiliano) 15:58, 9 Februari 2021 (UTC)

Makala za viumbe hai

Nashukuru sana kwa msaada kuhusu makala za viumbe hai. Mimi ni mwanabiolojia/bioteknolojia niliyebobea zaidi kwenye kilimo, hivyo nina ujuzi kwenye mimea zaidi na wadudu kwa kiasi. Kwa sasa ninatafsiri makala hii List of Orchidaceae genera kwenda Orodha ya jenasi za Orchidaceae. Swali la kwanza, kuna sehemu nakuta jina la jenasi linafuatiliwa na jina lingine (common name) kwa kingereza, nimetoa common names zote kwenye makala ya kiswahili kwa kuhofia kunaweza kua na common name nyinginge ambayo tunaita sisi. Hili ni sawa?

mnyama mbuai?

Habari, naona uliingiza lugha mnyama mbuai katika makala ya duma. Je maana yake ni nini? Umeikuta wapi? Kipala (majadiliano) 22:29, 30 Agosti 2021 (UTC)

Ni mnyamapori, hasa akishambulia wengine. Tazama KKK. Amani kwa wote wawili! --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 15:03, 31 Agosti 2021 (UTC)

Habari zenu? Maana ya mbuai ni "predator". Mawindo yake huitwa mbuawa. ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:39, 31 Agosti 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I see that you commented on Cherish Perrywinkle. I think that you should be aware that the user who created it is a long-term crosswiki vandal, see en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Angelmunoz50/Archive and [3]. Typical edits include translating articles about killed children but changing important information like age, years and cause of death. I couldn't find the Administrators noticeboard here so I take the liberty of contacting you on your talk page. Sjö (majadiliano) 09:02, 14 Novemba 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sjö. Thanks for the information. I shall discuss with the other admins how to deal with this person. ChriKo (majadiliano) 17:04, 14 Novemba 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Jina la makala Kumguni-maji mtambaazi

Habari ChriKo, heri ya mwaka mpya.

Hongera kwa makala nzuri pia ya kunguni-maji mtaambaaji. Nimeona kwenye jina la makala umeandika kungumi, je ni sawa au ni kunguni? Sikumbuki namna ya kubadilisha jina la makala hivyo nikaandika hapa.

Wako, Asterlegorch367 (majadiliano) 10:38, 3 Januari 2023 (UTC)

Jambo Aneth. Kwako heri ya mwaka mpya pia. Asante kwa ujumbe wako. Jina limesharekebishwa. Wako, ChriKo (majadiliano) 20:20, 3 Januari 2023 (UTC)
