Muli Bwanji Icem4k. I noticed you're the new admin on the block! Are you a native speaker? Chewa or Nyanja? Cheers. Lycaon (talk) 11:10, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

@Lycaon Ife tiri bwino. And no am not native to the language am Luvale/Tonga but I have a high level of understanding of the nyanja and chewa language I was born and raised in Zambia. I didn't know of Wikipedia in chewa until after Wikimaina 2018 in South Africa that's how I applied to see if I can fix one or two things here. Thank you.

Oh, great. I was just in Zambia last August, was in Mpulungu, Mutinondo, Kitwe, Lusaka and Livingstone. My wife is Bemba and we visit Zambia every three/four years. I used to be a teacher in Chipata in the late 1980's. Lycaon (talk) 12:32, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

@Lycaon Wow you used to teach in Chipata you must have the full knowledge of the luaguage plus you have a Bemba wife thats fantasitc. Am planning to visit Chipata and run an edit-a-thon to teach the people of chipata and hope that they can help on perfecting so of the artcles here. Hoping we could meet one day.

Pages for deletion

Please see Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and take care of those pages however you see fit (deletion, rewriting, etc.). That's a category that you should monitor regularly as the wiki's only active admin. Also, see the newly created Madzi, which, while perhaps not worthy of deletion, is nonetheless a very poor article in need of rewriting. - dcljr (talk) 08:06, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Main and user namespace

Hi, as you are one of the most active ones here, I wanted to directly ask you what your view on the interactions between article and user namespace is. User:Icem4k/Zanco Mpundu Mutembo for example is in [[Category:1936 kubadwa]]. My experience is that the links between these namespaces are limited and article drafts should not be in main namespace categories etc. I'm interested in your POV. --Zenith4237 (talk) 00:02, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Tech stuff to be done

Yo! Zenith4237 The translation 100% correct.--Chabwino (talk) 00:09, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Haha alright, perfect! I was meaning "Palibe chithunzi chowoneka lero." down at "Chithunzi chowonetsedwa" on Tsamba Lalikulu. Get some sleep! ;) --Zenith4237 (talk) 00:11, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Expo 2020

Excuse my bad Chewa. I had removed the image because it contains the wrong logo as it was made as a joke. This is the right logo of Expo 2020. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 17:42, 25 Okotobala 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)
