You have this image, which someone seems to have copied from English Wikipedia. However, people in English Wikipedia have found out that the image doesn't belong to the public domain. Instead, you can only use it for non-commercial or educational purposes. Such is too restrictive licence for Wikipedia. [1] You can't even use the image in Wikipedia under United Sates copyright law. In English Wikipedia they are going to delete the image. I think that you should do the same because the Wikipedia servers are located in United States. -85.76.146.129

[wysig] Wikizine

Hi, I am w:nl:gebruiker:Walter of the dutch Wikipedia. I am writing you because your are listed as ambassador of your wiki. I have something to say that I think you will find useful and possibly others of your wiki also.

You know it is not easy for the members of a local wiki to be informed about what is going on in the higher levels of the Wikimedia family. This because of the language problem and the high level of fragmentation of places where you can find information.

I am now making a weekly news letter (Wikizine) that attempts to provide the news of the Wikimedia projects. The concept is to list only a very short description of the news an give the relevant url to the subject. I want it to be short, only give the news that is important for all projects. The target audience include the ambassadors. It is for people who are interested in what it going on outside there own wiki. I emphasize on the news that is practical-technical. The information comes form several "news"-pages on several wikis, the mailinglists and IRC. There will be news I can not discover. If you have news found somewhere or from you own wiki please let my know. wikizine AT wikipedia.be

I can only create one version in something that supposed to be English. I count on the readers to inform there local wiki about the news in there own language.

Wikizine is send by use of the mailinglist Announce-l. It is only used for this. So people can subscribe without being swamped by emails like the lists.

I hope that you and others of your wiki will subscribe to Wikizine and give feedback. So that Wikizine can become really a source where Wikimedians can find out what is going on. Greetings, w:nl:gebruiker:Walter PS: do not repond here. I will not see it.

[wysig] Potje

Is the word 'Potje' in Afrikaans? What is the translation?

I'm asking because it's said to be the Afrikaans name of this cooking pot. Thanks, he:User:Felagund.

In Afrikaans it is known as ysterpot, swart pot or just potjie. In English it is known as a dutch-oven.

"Pot" in Afrikaans and Dutch has the same meaning as the same word in English. It can be used for "cooking pot". "-je" is a suffix added to a word to form a dimmunitive. Well, in Dutch only, because in Afrikaans the suffix is "-jie", so the word is "Potjie".
The image you refer to has to do with Potjiekos. Danielm 19:50, 21 Augustus 2006 (UTC)
Great - thanks! he:User:Felagund.
