German churches series

edit

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

Hi at last

edit

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

edit

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

License tagging for Image:Rhoenraddenkmal.jpg

edit

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:

List of Towers

Unspecified source for Image:Lahti1.jpg

edit

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

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?

Speedy deletion of Campobasso Transmitter

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.

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

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

File source problem with File:Gres-2.jpg

edit
 
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

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.

LHC Power system

edit

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

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.

An article you recently created, Aerial lift pylon, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)
