Translation
[edit]I have copied the text form the article on the German Wikipedia page, and some of the functions, edits and references have defeated me today. I hope others will improve this article. Stauffer is a significant luthier, not just in Austria. --Design (talk) 11:24, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- In the future, it would be better to put the machine translation in your user space while you work on it. I think you'll agree that machine translations normally produce a hot mess, like the present article, rather than coherent English.
- I am moving the machine text to User:Alarob/Stauffer, except for a short definition paragraph. Let's work on it there until it is good shape.
- You might also think about a fact from the article that would be suitable for the Did You Know? feature on the Wikipedia main page. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB
I have added an edited and "improved" version of the english translation of the original article.--Design (talk) 02:30, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
- By using a computer translation you simply transferred all the nonsense and misinformation in the German article to the English Wikipedia. The translation "Highway 572" is absolutely priceless.--Suessmayr (talk) 09:59, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Not to mention the suburb "Weissberger" :)--188.23.247.20 (talk) 14:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have corrected both "Weißgerber" and "Landstrasse".----Design (talk) 05:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Inter-wiki links
[edit]I just added inter-wiki links to the German, French, and Russian versions of this page. What is nice is that by doing that, it seems to automatically link those pages to this one. Cheers! Mark Froelich (talk) 03:50, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
substantial problems
[edit]For instance, As of 2014 such "Stauffer style" machine heads are still made by the UK company Rodgers Tuning Machines. As of 2018, there's no actual description in the article of wtf "Stauffer style" is, and the website is defunct. This will be edited.
The article (such as it is) is weasel-prone: At 15 years of age he went to Vienna to allegedly complete an apprenticeship with Stauffer, albeit proof for this apprenticehip is still lacking. … His relationship apparently cooled with Stauffer, and Martin returned to work in his father's workshop. This will be removed.
