Please be bold and help translate this article!

Tutankhamun's trumpets are a pair of trumpets found in the burial chamber of the Eighteenth Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The trumpets, one of sterling silver and one of bronze or copper, are considered to be the oldest operational trumpets in the world, and the only known surviving examples from ancient Egypt.

The trumpets were found in 1922 by Howard Carter during the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb. The bronze trumpet was discovered in the tomb's antechamber in a large chest containing various military objects and walking sticks. The silver trumpet was subsequently found in the burial chamber. Both are finely engraved, with decorative images of the gods Ra-Horakhty, Ptah and Amun. The silver trumpet's bell is engraved with a whorl of sepals and calices representing a lotus flower, and the praenomen and nomen of the king. The bronze trumpet may in fact be made of copper; the metal has not yet been analysed. Similar looking trumpets feature in Egyptian wall-paintings that are usually, though not always, associated with military scenes.

Silent for over 3,000 years, the trumpets were sounded before a live audience of an estimated 150 million listeners through an international BBC broadcast aired on 16 April 1939. The trumpets were played by a bandsman, James Tappern of Prince Albert's Own 11th Royal Hussars regiment. The recording was recently featured, and can be heard on the BBC Radio 4 program Ghost Music. Rex Keating, who presented the 1939 broadcast, later claimed that during a rehearsal, the silver trumpet shattered, and Alfred Lucas, a member of Carter's team who had restored the finds, was so distressed he needed to go to hospital. Due to their fragility, it is unlikely the trumpets will be played again in any official musical reconstructions.

Wikidata weekly summary #473

[編集]
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Interlanguage links now work for multilingual Wikisource. phab: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, phab:T284856 attempts to identify maintenance steps and phab:T284276 determine turn-around times. phab: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).

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

導入されている全ウィキペディアにおける編集初心者のコメント完了率
初心者が返信ツールを使用してトークページに投稿しようとした際、コメント投稿に成功した割合。(出典)

今年の年初め、編集チームは返信ツールの大規模研究を行いました。 主な目的としては、返信ツールが編集初心者のウィキにおけるコミュニケーションに役立っているかどうかを調べることが挙げられます。2つ目の目的は、新人編集者がこのツールを使って投稿したコメントが既存のwikitextエディタによるコメントよりも不適切なものが多いか調べることでした。

主な結果 :

  • Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
  • また、編集初心者が返信ツールで行ったコメントは、ページ編集でのコメントよりも取り消し・巻き戻しされる可能性が低いという結果が出ました。

この結果により、Editingチームはこのツールが役立っていると確信しました。

今後の予定

チームは今後数ヶ月で、返信ツールをオプトアウトで全員が利用できるように計画しています。この機能はアラビア語・チェコ語・ハンガリー語版ウィキペディアで先行的に実装されています。

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

現在、ベータ機能として「議論ツール」を有効にできます。返信ツールを導入した後は、Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussionでいつでも設定を変更することができます。
