--Reisen8 (talk) 05:37, 11 November 2015 (UTC) I will try to contribute a translation of my article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inga_Semp%C3%A9 which I created after the September WikiD event in Berlin.[reply]

Hello everybody, due to time lag I won't be able to contribute during the time of your meeting, so I already finished my article now, see below. Please check for language and other errors, thank you. I couldn't manage to bring in any photos - the way I did it in the German version, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inga_Semp%C3%A9 seems not to work in the English wikipedia. Maybe one of you has a solution? Always welcome. Have a nice meeting!--Reisen8 (talk) 18:14, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
