I'm in need of someone to assist me with a couple of references that are in German, for the Biography article of Michele Weiner-Davis I am working on in my sandbox, that support her mother. I can give you specific questions I have. If you can help me, please leave me a message on my talk page here: Tinkermen Wednesday January 13th
I've copied this from my user page, so as not to take all the credit - well done everyone!
Below our star, our helpful Wikipedian has given us some hints on tables and pictures. -- AnTransit ( talk) 13:37, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

In connection with our article on the May 25 Houla massacre, what in my estimation appears to be an important new source has emerged in the June 23 article " In Syrien gibt es mehr als nur eine Wahrheit" in the Berliner Morgenpost. Given that in the past there has been much controversy over introducing sources which contradict the main narrative of the massacre, i.e. that it was perpetrated by the Syrian government, or groups loyal to it, I believe a high-quality translation of this article is necessary to facilitate a fully informed discussion about its use.
Based on past experience I have requested a translation from you as well as four other translators listed at Wikipedia:Translators available#German-to-English. Therefore, should you decide to take on this task, I would ask that you either give notice to the other four that you are doing the assignment, or to me and I will let the four other know. (I suppose, as a matter of quality assurance, two translations could be presented for comparison, but I don't see that as required at present, but if a second translator would like to duplicate, all the better.) I'm listing the other four below:
Your user sandbox could be used as target for the translation (i.e. a permanent link to it would ensure its availability in case it becomes overwritten). __ meco ( talk) 08:26, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello OberMegaTrans,
Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?
This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:
There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.
If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:
All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{ Pass}} and {{ Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.
If you can help, please {{ ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot ( talk) 06:44, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
@
Mathglot: We will be taking a look at it soon. We'll get back to you with an evaluation as soon as possible.

Hi,
I found your name in Wikipedia:Translators_available#German-to-English. I recently translated User:Degeno/Canton of Mutterstadt, using Google translate (carefully sentence by sentence, sometime clause by clause, cleaning up and resolving issues as best I could), and I'd appreciate it if you could double-check it to the point where I might be able to remove the "rough translation" banner. I lined up the original German sentences with my translations using Template:Clarify, which I hope will make that easier, but the text still follows de:Kanton Mutterstadt closely if that's better.
Thanks! - Degeno ( talk) 15:16, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Dear OberMegaTrans, please be aware that copying articles from de.wp for translation, like Sally'sWorld did with the article mainly written by Andreas Schwarzkopf at User:Sally'sWorld/Pflastermosaike in Freiburg violates the CC-BY-SA license since the creators of the translated article are not mentioned. In order to fix this, please always file Requests for page importation (which can also be done afterwards, but should really not be forgotten!). For details, please refer to de:Wikipedia:Übersetzungen#Lizenzfragen: Urheberrecht und Originaltext. Thanks for spreading "the other side of Wikipedia" at your university.

An article you recently created,
Rolf Tschierschky, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Rolf Tschierschky, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot ( talk) 01:29, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello, OberMegaTrans. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Rolf Tschierschky".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian ( talk) 20:39, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed one of you(r students?) translated an article from German Wikipedia without attributing the translation (this is vital) and without porting over the references (this suggests none of them have been checked, which is alarming). Can you please have everyone involved review Help:Translation, particularly "License requirements"? Thank you!
Regarding references, you may want to prioritize translating articles with a good set of accessible footnotes (ie, ones you can easily verify yourself - online, books held by your library, etc). For two reasons: one, so you aren't accidentally spreading misinformation, and two, so your content isn't removed. German Wikipedia has very different standards from en-wiki with regards to footnotes and tolerates unfootnoted paragraphs provided there is a "Literatur" section to which the info can plausibly be attributed; on en-wiki an apparently unsourced paragraph is very likely to be deleted. -- asilvering ( talk) 15:37, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
