Babette Haag

edit

Created by Dr. Blofeld (talk) and Vic. Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 16:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC).

  • New (article created within a week of this nomination, on May 12) and long enough (3091 characters). Quite a bit of close paraphrasing detected from the Bach Cantatas site, though I don't know if they copied the German Wikipedia or what. (The cited article has been existent in its current version since March 2014, so perhaps not). 23W 00:05, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
  • I am only the nominator. I would not be surprised if the German Wikipedia was first, being copied and translated to other similar versions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:58, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
  • QPQ is also required. The Bach Cantatas website gives its source as Haag's website, and the English translation as dating from October 2013. Interesting, the BC translator is also that website's copyright agent, so this is definitely a case where we'd want to move with caution. The BC page does have external links to both Haag's website and the German Wikipedia article. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:09, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I've noticed that quite a few translated articles from other wikis end up closely paraphrasing Bach Cantatas when translated into English. In future if it's a Bach Cantatas bio it's probably best to say so and start it using the source directly.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

  • Dr. Blofeld, something will need to be done if the English Wikipedia article has substantial close paraphrasing of the Bach Cantatas website's copyrighted English version of Haag's bio (which is based, I'm assuming, on the website's German version, almost certainly copyrighted as well). As things stand now, this nomination cannot pass. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:55, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Is it correct that the German Wikipedia - of which the article is a faithful translation - is different, - so we will have to say something different from the German Wikipedia? - It can be done, but I see some irony, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:17, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
I've shuffled it about and added a few extra bits to reduce the copyright issue. I ve added myself as a minor author and the QPQ can Tales of Frankenstein as the QPQ Victuallers (talk) 12:49, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you so much! You can use the qpq next time, I reviewed Parliament House (Malta) t failed to mention it, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

issues were fixed by Victuallers, please check, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:10, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
