'''Kharayeb''' (Arabic: الخرايب) is a historic town in the Sidon District in the South Governorate, Lebanon. The town is 77 km (48 mi) south of Beirut, and stands at an average altitude of 190 m (620 ft) above sea level. The town boasts a rich historical legacy, with archaeological excavations revealing a complex settlement history spanning from Prehistory to the Ottoman period. Notably, Kharayeb's origins can be traced back to the Persian period (539–330 BC), when it played a pivotal role in the region's agricultural and economic landscape, culminating in the construction of its Phoenician temple around the 6th century BC. |

[edit]Tech News: 2024-42
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [1][2]
- WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [3]
- View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.
Updates for technical contributors
- Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [4]
- Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [5]
- Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a
<bdi>
element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [6]
In depth
- The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.
- The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition include: research about improving topic suggestions related to countries, improvements to PHPUnit tests, and more.

榭/謝 unit of measurement?
[edit]Hello @Donald Trung, as you are an expert on Vietnamese coins. I was wondering if you know of this unit of measurement and if you could provide any other sources on it.
When I was reading Ấu học hán tự tân thư 幼學漢字新書 (In the process of digitalizing it). At the end of the first book, page 20, It mentions units of measurements specifically 尺, 寸, 丈, 斤, 两, and 榭/謝. (榭 is found in a different version of the book). The text mentions that a 榭/謝 is comprised of a 100 (百) 斤. I tried searching online about this unit, but could not find anything. Hope that you can help me. Lachy70 (talk) 05:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Lachy70:,
- I've never heard of Tạ (謝) as a unit of measurement. While I know a lot of modern books on Vietnamese cash coins and I've found contemporary official government reports and newspaper articles, these documents aren't mint documents and don't really contain any information about units of measurement.
- Now, interestingly enough I had come across this document (a few weeks ago) from the year Thành Thái 10 discussing the Hàm Nghi Thông Bảo (咸宜通寳) series of cash coins that were briefly minted during the reign of the Hàm Nghi Emperor, but I wasn't able to find the whole text online.
- I know a man who has read original mint documents and imperial decrees relating to the rules and regulations of currency during throughout Vietnamese history, François Thierry, 6 (six) years ago I contacted him through "fr.thierry@transasiart.com", but I'm not sure if he still uses this address.
- By the way, are you able to read the seal script on the seal affixed to the above document? I can only read "XXX XXX Nguyễn Xuân Phiếu" (XX阮春縹), unfortunately almost nobody can read seal script anymore outside of Taiwan and I don't know any seal masters I can ask. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting that the Resident-Superior of Tonkin was mentioned on the document you linked, now, maybe you've seen this, but are you aware of any documents in Classical Chinese written by the Residents-Superior of Tonkin or the Residents-Superior of Annam, or the Residents-General of Annam and Tonkin?
- Because I know that the Governors-General of French Indo-China used this seal on Classical Chinese documents, but I've never seen any Classical Chinese documents by the Residents-Superior. Interestingly enough, the mayors of Hanoi did place their (French-style) seals on French and Romanised Vietnamese texts, but not on chữ Nôm texts ('"Exempli gratia). -- Donald Trung (talk) 08:54, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for trying anyway. Also I am not able to read seal script, sorry. I believe there are groups on Facebook where you may find people who can help you with that. Giao lưu Ấn Chương Triện Khắc - 印章篆刻 is one notable group. Good luck. Lachy70 (talk) 09:57, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out. Donald Trung (talk) 11:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
