User talk:VeronikaMM

Welcome!

Hello, VeronikaMM, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

However.

Just so you know - you should never sign your name after making an edit to an article. This is because any given article can have dozens, or even hundreds, of individual editors, and if everyone signed, then the article would quickly become an illegible mess of signatures. Information as to who made which edit is automatically tracked, and is available in the article history.

Conversely, you should always sign the messages you leave on article discussion pages or on user talk pages.

No harm done - this is just so you know. DS 16:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing those things out to me...

Re: Juli (band) translation

I had noticed that. I kept meaning to leave a message, but kept forgetting, so I'm doing it now. It looks so much better now, so thanks a lot for translating it. It's really MUCH better - ^Рэд_хот^{(t • c • e)} 15:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for Help

I was wondering if there is a way to have a page that is connected to my user page, where I can save have incomplete versions of translations ready, so I don't leave unfinished sentences anywhere?

You can make a temporary copy of the page in your user space if you like. Make a link to User:VeronikaMM/Draft, follow the link, copy over the article wiki markup and start editing. When you copy your version back to the article space, make sure you don't inadvertently revert another user's constructive edits. ➪HiDrNick! 16:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help!--VeronikaMM 19:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Juli Talk Page

Hi Veronika! I have answered your question regarding my previous edit to the Juli page. If you could just clarify a sentence which I have mentioned on the talk page, I would very much appreciate it! Thanks. Face-2-face 23:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:MarkusRill.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:MarkusRill.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 19:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Austria in the time of National Socialism

Hi Veronika, thanks for your message - I am sure your English is much better than my German! I've been in Austria for just over a year and working on German language Wikipedia articles is one way of improving my German. However I am much more confident at polishing translations from German to English than initiating English to German ... as you can see ...

I hope you don't mind me getting involved with this one, your translation is very good. It would certainly be a good article to have on the English Wikipedia. Rbreen (talk) 20:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am actually very glad someone is checking my translations, since it is sometimes difficult to really get everything right. I have spent actually quite a lot of time in English speaking countries, studied English at the university and for the past year I lived with my american then-boyfriend. I decided to translate this HUGE article because I thought it would be really useful and important, not only for german speaking people.

How shall we divide the article?Barbara Shack (talk) 11:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have suggested that it would make sense if you would just start with the next major section and once I am done with the early history part, I will move on to the next one and so on, if that makes sense to you--VeronikaMM (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I relate strongly to the early history part because my family originated in Vienna. My family came to Britain as refugees shortly before the start of the war. When I translate that part it links to things that my parents told me. That helps me to do the translation well. The section from the start of the war onwards is less closely related to me. Barbara Shack (talk) 03:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok for me to do the next part, so it is no big deal for me...--VeronikaMM (talk) 09:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Austria

I'm sorry, I did not know that. Carry on, please. BE TA 21:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

one way of finding out such information is that usually on the talk page of translated articles there is a message about the progress of the translation ect.--VeronikaMM (talk) 21:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have been putting information on the talk page.Barbara Shack (talk) 09:35, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I think it doesn't really make sense to add stuff to the article just yet. Right now it makes most sense to translate directly and when we are done with it, then add information, (also from other articles)... BUT it is important that you can give sources to everything, that is a crucial point on Wikipedia. Anyway thanks for helping with this translation and you are doing a great job!--VeronikaMM (talk) 15:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
