Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 07:48, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Dear SshibumXZ, always nice to read in English the rules I try to follow up in my German contributions for wiki. Thanks a lot! Best Regards Cphweise (talk) 11:41, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

specific points in translating

Some of these are English style in general, some are enWP peculiarities.

1. Please watch out for capitalization. e.g. Jewish not jewish , German not german.
2. Please check for idiomatic word order : "In 1998 she defended her dissertation "The poetical prose of Vladislav Khodasevich" at the Russian State University for the Humanities in Moscow ", not "In 1998 she defended in Moscow at the Russian State University for the Humanities her dissertation The poetical prose of Vladislav Khodasevich."
3. and idiomatic wording "pedagogian" or "pedagog"is in English almost always "teacher"
4. Italicize all book titles every time they are used.
5. State the most important factor for notability in the first sentence.
6. Avoid all adjective such as renowned , well-known etc.
7. Unless a list is very long, use paragraph format, and word as compactly as possible. Lists belong in CVs. The exception is lists of publications . For publications, include all books, but not articles or book chapters, List all translations, or at least give their language.
8. Do not use internal links: Change them from " He was a fellow at [http:.... Whatever] " to "He was a Fellow at Whatever <ref>[http...] </ref>"
9. We call Weblinks "External Links" The Further Reading section should be books, not web links.
10. For authors, include references to all important published reviews.
11. Don't say "in such newspapers as X and Y" , but in "X and Y" .

You might want to look through your current articles and drafts and fix these things. They're not necessary for an article to be accepted but it helps to get it right. In practice, long lists of journal articles often get an article rejected for advertising. At this time some reviewers, in my opinion incorrectly, are insisting on outside sources to verify even basic biographical facts. They are in my opinion totally wrong--an official CV is more reliable than almost any secondary source for academic details, but it's better to add them than to argue about it. An easy one is to the record for the doctoral thesis in the national library. The best source for a prize is from the awarding institution, not the person's own university.

I work here ma inly on bios of academics, and I can help you with any difficulties. DGG ( talk ) 17:02, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Dear DGG thank you very much! During the week I am working in a language school and we have native speakers here. I wrote on sunday at home (and even did not translate - my english simply not perfect). And to tell the truth: I am not so much familiar with the english wiki - in contrast to the german one. Well I am coming from humanities, but sometimes crossing the borders. The rules are really quit helpfull. You keep them in mind when you are regulary writing texts for wiki. I am doing that only from time to time. Concerning the Further Reading Paragraph in the Petrowskaja article: The Munzinger Archiv - see english wiki and to compare with the german text - still exists in the printed form for some people. So for Katja Petrowskaja, because this text comes from IBA - Internationales Biographisches Archiv (first section in german article under "Loseblattsammlung"). In times digitalisation Munzinger as well shows the texts online, for readers in universities full text. Same with BBKL - Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon, where I published articles already 20 years ago. When you are working with biographies - do you know the WBIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Biographical_Information_System_Online. I started to use it in times of microfiches. Actually I still have an other open draft. The one on Katja I wrote after the recent canceling on Andryi Lyubka. How to cooperate? Via talk page? Via email? Best regs, ChristianCphweise (talk) 19:15, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

There is considerable disagreement over what language competence is needed in translation for WP--the ideal is someone with native competence in the language being translated from (the source language) and near-native in the language being translated to (the target language), who also knows at a professional level the subject area under discussion, knows the cultural and linguistic nuances between the two languages and the two cultural areas in general and in the subject area, and is familiar with the relevant guideline and conventions of the source and a good knowledge of the relevant ones in the target wiki. There are actually a few such wikipedians, and some of them insist that nobody but they should do translations here. Most of us working on translation and revising translation have much more limited skills, and know enough not to attempt more than they can handle.

For myself, I have only a limited college knowledge of German--I can read with occasional use of a dictionary a German magazine article on a general subject or a paper in my academic field of biology, (and similarly in French)--I'm an academic from a generation where this knowledge was expected even of Americans.

I usually limit my work to very straightforward and obvious corrections of what I know to be common machine translation errors, or to translations of straightforward biographical articles of academics--an area where I know the cultural differences between the US, UK, and several European academic and publishing systems, and also the usual language used to describe them and their work. For example, I know which of the many titles and awards given to Russian scientists are actually top-level.

I will look at your other draft. DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

I have worked on such articles in the English WP for 12 years ever since retiring as a librarian

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
