 * Events
 * Upcoming
 * The next Wikibase live session is 16:00 UTC on Thursday 24th June 2021 (18:00 Berlin time). This month we'll have a team member from Wikibase Stakeholders Group talk briefly about their work, and then we'll welcome people to share out about their work around Wikibase. We'll leave some space in the agenda to discuss meta issues related to the Wikibase Community Usergroup.
 * SPARQL queries live on Twitch and in English by Vigneron, June 22 at 18:00 CEST

 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Interlanguage links now work for multilingual Wikisource. T275958
 * User:Nikki/LexemeEntitySuggester.js now supports searching for senses for the translation property.
 * The call for candidates for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board elections has begun on June 9. The last date to apply is June 29, 2021.
 * Since the beginning of the month, phabricator tickets about language codes (and names of languages) were reviewed and triaged to better reflect their content and current status. Some work was done to better identify the steps for such changes, highlight and address bottlenecks and system issues. Patches for a few codes were contributed and are being released. Phabricator "Language codes" workboard provides an overview, T284856 attempts to identify maintenance steps and T284276 determine turn-around times. T284808 should finally close a gap in termbox language handeling. A way to better address some or all aspects of changes of language codes applicable to Wikipedia editions still needs to be found. Don't hesitate to request the addition or update of language names (e.g. the name of Dutch in Danish) or missing language codes, notably for monolingual strings (see Help:Monolingual text languages).

A page seems related to historical anthems of Vietnam
I discovered a page seems contains information related to historical anthems of Vietnam, can you help to look at it? -- Great Brightstar (talk) 10:15, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * https://web.archive.org/web/20140703064226/http://www.ttxva.net/hanh-trinh-quoc-ca-viet-nam/


 * , sure, I'll take a look at it, TTXVA has a lot of useful information. Unfortunately the only person that was actively importing from there was and their socks, so a lot of uploads and additions based on this website were deleted for "sockpuppetry" rather than factual incorrectness. By the way, thank you for all your work with improving flags and coats of arms, I often see your name in file upload histories of files and you often improve them.


 * Oddly enough, I didn't get a notification about your message. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:33, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * , I could actually open the link on my Microsoft Lumia 950 (which is fortunate because. The Wayback mAchine didn't work at all on my old Microsoft Lumia 950 phablet), all these anthems are already on Wikipedia except for Việt Nam minh châu trời Đông --Donald Trung (talk) 08:48, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm not really experienced with writing articles about national anthems so you can write that article if you wish, once it is launched I can try to expand it using additional sources. Anyhow, a much more interesting link (FOR ME, AT LEAST) I found was this:


 * https://web.archive.org/web/20140703064226/http://ttxva.org/quoc-huy-viet-nam/

Unfortunately no captures of it seem to be live, which is a shame as it could have given us more information about the historical coats of arms and emblems of Vietnam. Note that the website isn't universally correct, it just manages to host a lot of useful information with some information that requires more research, it is also the website that spread the "flags of Vietnamese dynasties" bullshit. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * https://tongocthao.wordpress.com/2015/12/26/quoc-ky-va-quoc-ca-viet-nam-phan-1/

Attempting to find archives from this website makes me realise how much of a shame it is that so much of it has disappeared without any archives. --Donald Trung (talk) 09:06, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
