German churches series

Hi Zonk43, I notices your article series about German churches. Certainly a nice idea, but I'm sure you are aware this is pretty awful English. Machine translation? - Anyway, I've started putting up some warning notices, for others to come in and help out with the English. Also, one more thing you should do: provide sources! At least a link to the German texts you translated these from, so that helpers can go back to check with the original. I do hope these texts weren't translated from a copyrighted source? Lukas 20:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not planning to do anything about these articles, but if I would, I would prefer to translate directly from German than to have to clean up these machine translations. Anyone doing it will need to know German anyway to see through the absurdities which result from automatic translations. u p p l a n d 22:30, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zonk43, I've added some cleanup tags to the articles you've started, mostly Template:Wikify and Template:RoughTranslation. I really urge you to browse Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Translation into English. In particular, as the latter page states,

Machine translation is much much worse [than even amateur translation by hand]. Never use machine translation to create an article! (This doesn't mean you can't use machine translation as a tool, but it does mean that machine-translated material dumped into the English-language Wikipedia is worse than nothing.)

Happy editing, Melchoir 08:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Aspects"

hi -- could you provide a reference to where you're getting your data from? Either as a reference at the bottom of the page, or maybe even on the Talk page for the article... as a former astronomer I appreciate the additions! thanks a lot. bikeable (talk) 19:10, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Towers

I assume you are the user who created three articles about towers on it.wiki the last night. Please do not use automatic translation tools because the result is...ahem...not understandable. Many thanks :-) it:utente:Civvi

Please stop adding machine-translated articles to Wikipedia. If you think an article should be translated, say so at e.g. Wikipedia:German-English translation requests. Since it is easier to translate from scratch than to cleanup a machine "translation", I will nominate pages like this for deletion. Kusma (討論) 21:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi at last

I was amused at the welcome message above - surely you have been contributing since 2005 March or earlier? Your handwriting seems to be the same as the person who brought us Pillar of third section of Gletscherbahn Kaprun (I spotted that one because I have been to Kaprun) and countless other anonymous tower articles. If so:

welcome indeed - at last you have a User Id so we can talk to you
I hate to be critical, but considering how long you have been contributing, you still seem to making some basic mistakes - do you ever check to see what others do to your articles after you have left them? You have a watchlist now!

But let me be specific and constructive - look at my edits to Nebraska Educational Telecommunication Tower Carroll and note the following:

we give a title of "Orfordness Transmitter" not "Transmitter Orfordness" (which is German usage) - actually you are now getting that one right
we embolden the title (once) when we repeat it in the article
we do not keep repeating the full title - "it" or "the tower" can be used in later sentences
we create a wikilink to the article about the location
we create the lat/long as a link (using a template) and include region:US. Look at some of your articles about British towers such as Orfordness Transmitter - here will you see I have used {{gbmapping}} with a grid ref - which you can usually get from Mike Brown's pages.
we put "See also" before ...
we say "External links" (always plural and always lower case on links) - again, "weblinks" is German not English!
we do not use naked URL's in external links but "pipe" them
we put the article in a category.

Sorry to throw it all at you in one go but I have been waiting nine months to say this! Above all we do welcome your contributions in whatever state they come - after all, all the things I have listed above can be put in by other editors who come after you.

Incidentally, I was amused to see an article about Woofferton transmitting station pop up, created by someone else - that's a British one you missed! And why not create your user page to tell us about yourself - you are German? Where do you live? How old (very roughly)?

Well done. Keep up the good work and don't mind me! -- RHaworth 23:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

formatting

Thank you for your new articles. However, it would be better if you formatted them properly, instead of just adding the raw text. See Wikipedia:Guide to layout. Thanks. --W.marsh 20:35, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Machine translations

Please do not submit machine translations, especially not if they contain complete nonsense like the translation of "Mittenwald" as "center forest" or "resin" for the Harz mountains - I have suggested the deletion of the really bad ones. If you would like Wikipedia to have good articles about these topics, please submit a translation request at WP:TIE. Translating from scratch is easier than machine translation, and as it says on WP:TIE, machine translation is worse than nothing. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 20:52, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translations

Please stop adding machine-translated articles to Wikipedia. If you think an article should be translated, say so at e.g. Wikipedia:German-English translation requests.

License tagging for Image:Rhoenraddenkmal.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rhoenraddenkmal.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Disappearing rocket

I've updated the Disappearing rocket article which you created but I'm not sure that this is actually a term anyone uses. Is this just your translation of the german name or do you know for a fact that this term is used in rocketry? Pascal.Tesson 23:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you tell me why you've re-added the long list of remarkable chimneys to the Chimney article? There is a discussion about this on the article's talk page.

List of Towers

Please stop adding all kinds of references to tall structures to the list of towers article. It is way too long and unfocussed already. The cleanup tag on top is there for a reason; it means the article should be focused before adding new content. Thanks Arnoutf 17:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Lahti1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lahti1.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 11:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Longwave amateur radio link

On the Longwave article you set the amateur radio link to point at LOFAR but I am not sure that this is the correct thing. LOFAR is the LOw Frequency ARray for radio astronomy in Europe not an amateur radio system in the USA as the link text imples. I did a quick Google to see if there is anything else called LOFAR but didn't find anything. Can you have another look at it and make sure that the link is correct? Thanks. --DanielRigal 22:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repost warning

A tag has been placed on Dalian Radio and TV Tower, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how Dalian Radio and TV Tower is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:Dalian Radio and TV Tower saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion.

Thanks for your translation of Raiffeisen Observation Tower. However, removing the AfD tag was inappropriate, such actions can be construed as vandalism or attempts to avoid process.

Speedy deletion of Campobasso Transmitter

A tag has been placed on Campobasso Transmitter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

non-notable

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pigman^{talk • contribs} 21:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prophetic Frenchman speedy delete nomination

A tag has been placed on Prophetic Frenchman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time.

Image:Sender_nordkirchen1.JPG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Sender_nordkirchen1.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Image:SenderWesel.jpg

Reading your talk page I recognized you're having problems with licenses more or less often. So I corrected the licensing of the picture mentioned above myself, so it at last includes the authors (=my) name and a link to the original upload site - instead of just the picture itself, which can't be used to validate anything. You're welcome to use this picture (and eventually even more of mine) when you also use correct licensing. 172.173.235.186 22:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Phare du Monde

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Phare du Monde, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

There are three sources of it in the internet, one of them looks very serious.

Rewrite the article! I have no objection to withdrawing the speedy nomination--but the article as it first was written didn't make a lot of sense. It's better now, and perhaps notability can be established. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 23:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "Three sources on the internet" means nothing. One was totally incredible, another was a picture of an ad from a 1934 magazine (but it didn't say it was an ad from a 1934 magazine). You could try two things: a. read WP:RS b. forget about Google. Drmies (talk) 02:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Gres-2.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Gres-2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 12:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Source (Artwork)

A tag has been placed on Source (Artwork) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

LHC Power system

Hi, I've undone your two recent edits to LHC, which a couple of us judged too detailed. I agree electrical power engineering is intrinsically interesting, if you are involved in it. Something that might gather more support would be a little info on the power consumption of the accelerator, whether (and how) the dipole magnet energy is recycled at the end of each major load-accelerate-collide-rampdown cycle, how much RF power is needed to makeup losses during the peak beam energy periods, etc. In the old days (1950s-1960s) we used to use motor/generator sets coupled to big flywheels, but I have no idea how it is done nowadays; maybe the energy is just returned to the grid during rampdown? If you want to argue your case, you might take it to the last section on the talk page, but I'm doubtful it will be retained as it was. Thanks though, Wwheaton (talk) 01:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "Sheldon Duck" - removed speedy delete tag

Speedy deletion nomination of Łagisza Power Station

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Łagisza Power Station requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Your contributed article, Transductor

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Transductor. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - [[:transducer]]. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[:transducer]] - you might like to discuss new information at [[Talk:transducer|the article's talk page]].

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.
