tapir: Language knowledge of SL deshis (2009-01-06 13:08) [#5559]

We had some Wikipedia discussion these days, in Wikipedia there are those awful bumperstickers on homepages. But one of them is really useful -> the babel template. While I don't promote copying it here, it would be helpful to know who knows what.

So, to introduce me:

Tapir:German, Turkish, English

tderz: [ext] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TDerz German, English, Dutch, French, intermediate Chinese, but when does one qualify for 'deshi'?

You qualify as a Deshi when you choose to promote yourself by selecting the option in your user preferences. The joy of the open wiki approach.

Herman, thank you for your answer.
I read that non-definition there and are still clueless after the first part, while I do not fall into the compulsive part of the phenomical (wrong word?) definition.

Bill's definition is funny and encompasses us all.

According to PeterHB (thank you) it is a self-promotion.

I think that basically, any regular user is a deshi. And although they are often Recent Changes Junkies who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Wiki Editing Disorder, this is not always the case :-)

I think you're enough of a regular user to be a deshi :-)

Willemien can read German as well. But Japanese and Korean are Chinese to me :)
