Expert translator (Certified translations)

I saw your edits to the translation page, and I must admit that am not familiar with the official title "expert translator." I know that various organizations or schools offer translation certification programs or tests (like the American Translators Association http://www.atanet.org/certification/). Is that what you mean? You see, where I live, the government doesn't appoint official translators. Could you maybe provide a link or reference showing either what it takes to become an "expert translator"? My quick search only came up with people who call themselves expert translator without any legal or academic backup. maxsch 00:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your comments! As soon as I finish a translation to be delivered this week (November 26-30, 2007), I will read/review again the page about translation and include the information you are asking for. Meanwhile, my answer to your question is as follows: on the one hand, there is the translation certification programs/tests (ATANET, v.gr.); on the other, there are special "certifications" (I'd rather to use the term "appointment," or else the term "registration") for this specific kind of translators: those who will therefore be authorized by the Superior Court to translate official documents (among others, certificates of studies, certificates of birth, powers of attorney, etc.).

Best regards,

Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs, Mexico City, 03:17 am, Monday, November 26, 2007.

Hi again, Max! The page of the Superior Court of Justice ([www.tsjdf.gob.mx]) shows the list of requirements (in Spanish) to be registered as an "expert translator" ("perito traductor," in Spanish). [1]. Best regards from Mexico City, 23:19 h., Saturday, March 15, 2008 (it was not possible for me to come earlier: first I was traveling, then I was sick, and during the last few months I've been terribly busy!)

On how to use edit summaries

Hello there. I've noticed that your edit summaries seem to all simply reiterate the name of the page you edited, but that's not what the edit summary is intended for. Anyone viewing a history page or user contributions page (where edit summaries appear as part of a list) can already see what page was edited. So I thought I'd point you toward this help page: Wikipedia:Edit_summary. Happy editing, Melty girl (talk) 08:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I had so many things to do since November up to date (I still have, in fact) I forgot to send a kind answer and say thanks for your remark. Thank you very much, Melty girl. correogsk ~~~~

Hepatitis

Thanks for adding Wikilinks to hepatitis. Could I ask you to check whether a wikilink actually leads to the right place before adding it? For instance, antituberculosis medicines doesn't exist (and neither does lung scarring, and the pages for AST and ALT are disambiguation pages for other articles. The quickest way is to open the link in a new window and see where it leads, or alternatively using the "show preview" button. JFW | T@lk 06:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Mucus

Hi,

Note that 'see the DSM' is a little vague to be used as a reliable source for adding information. Please cite the specific section of the DSM, or [www.pubmed.org a pubmed journal] to verify that this is a legit disorder. Thanks, WLU (talk) 18:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Since the light went out for a moment (twice), I thought my changes were lost.

correogsk (talk) 18:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC) Best regards from Mexico City. Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs (correogsk).

No problem. Here are some links you may find useful for finding and generating references:

• Citation templates
• Google scholar autocitation, a google-style search engine and reference generator. Useful when the article doesn't have a pubmed number (old, social sciences or humanities) but the citation template isn't as neat and it does not fill in ISBN or pubmed numbers
• ISBN searchable database, used in conjunction with Diberry to find, and generate citation templates
• pubmed/isbn Diberry's template generator, incredibly useful, uses the [www.pubmed.org pubmed] number or isbn to automatically generate a citation template for you; the most useful if you have a pubemd or ISBN

WLU (talk) 19:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again! I will review those pages, very useful, too, for my job as an English-Spanish translator. correogsk (talk) 19:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)correogsk

About you "minor" edits to Mexico City article

If you were an anon IP I would have silently revert everyone of your "minor" edits due to two reasons

• Most of them are not "minor" edits as you substantially edited parts of the article. Passing those edits as "minor" can be viewed as vandalism, as people checking for it tend to ignore minor changes, specially the ones made by a registered user.
• Most of them constitute POV(check WP:NPOV), use weasel words or peacock terms (check WP:AWW and WP:APT), or appear to be some king of unverified claims or original research (check WP:OR).

I cannot start to imagine how this subtle vandalism has damaged the article. I will try to track your most controversial edits and manually revert them. PLEASE refrain to repeat this kind of "minor edits" without having properly discuss them in the talk page or having reliably sourced them. I suggest you fully read and comprehend the three Wikipedia pillars which are the already mentioned WP:NPOV and WP:OR, and also the WP:V. Thank you. --Legion fi (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

The best way to avoid this problem is to click the 'my preferences' tab at the top of the page, click the 'Editing' tab, then uncheck 'Mark all edits minor by default'. Each time you make an edit that actually is minor, such as correcting a spelling error, just check 'This is a minor edit' under the Edit Summary line. Regards, CliffC (talk) 03:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Perspective

Hi. Thanks for adding the interwiki link at Perspective. Just to let you know, the manual of style for disambig pages, says "Entries should nearly always be sentence fragments. Even when the entry forms a complete sentence, do not include commas or periods at the end of the line.". Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 20:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your remark, Quiddity. Best regards from Mexico City. --correogsk (talk) 21:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC) Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs.

Edit to heterotroph

There's no need to add a hatnote about consumers in economics, as there is no plausible way a person would get there (they wouldn't type in consumer (biology) if they were looking for the economics article). A hatnote to resource (ecology) might be more appropriate, but that article doesn't even exist yet. Richard001 (talk) 00:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

You're right, Richard. Thanks a lot!! Best regards from Mexico City!--correogsk (talk) 07:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Adding "Definition" section headers at the top of articles

Please don't do that. The lead section of each article *is* the definition, that's standard Wikipedia style. Take a look at WP:LEAD or just about any article to see how this works. Thanks. --CliffC (talk) 03:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Curious about a word

I'd never encountered the word "hemerographical" before seeing it on your user page, and I looked it up but couldn't quite figure it out. What does it mean? It's similar to "hemerografica", which seems to mean "library records" in Spanish, but the English word "hemerology" has something to do with calendars... Dreamyshade (talk) 16:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Dreamyshade!

Thanks a lot for your comment about "hemerographical". You're right: it doesn't exist in English. What I meant was "... to do some bibliographical research about some issues...", i.e., a research job in books, journals, newspapers, etc. It was a copy from Spanish "hemerográfica," which means "in newspapers and periodicals" and is different from "bibliográfica," which means "only in books."

I hope we'll keep in touch. Best regards from Mexico City!!

Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs--correogsk (talk) 07:40, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a neat word. I nominate it as a candidate for adoption into English. :) Dreamyshade (talk) 16:50, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphanage

Did you make this anon IP edit? If so, welcome! -- Avocado (talk) 03:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Fellow de-orphaner!

I noticed you added your name to the list of participants in WikiProject Orphanage. We really appreciate your help! The first things you could do to get started with us are:

1. Read the Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage page, especially the section marked "Criteria". The page contains a lot of good advice to get you started, as well as the standard procedures we are using to de-orphan articles.
2. Look at {{orphan}}, {{do-attempt}}, and {{articleissues}} closely and make sure you know how to use them correctly. (It's not difficult, but it is easy to screw up. Trust me, I have.)
3. Keep de-orphaning! Category:Orphaned articles contains all orphaned articles organized by month. Right now we're just trying to keep up with all the new orphans being created, so please start with the current monthly category. Once those are cleared out, we can start working on the backlog in reverse-chronological order.

Of course, you may have already known all of this, in which case sorry for the spam. Either way, let me know if there's any way I can help you contribute more to the project!

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lindsay Lohan, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 21:42, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Lindsay Lohan. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 21:42, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Lindsay Lohan, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 21:42, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Lindsay Lohan.

I need some help translating this into English

I saw that you are a translator on the French Translation page... I need some help translating the following letter into English. It was written by General Pulaski, while traveling to find food for the starving soldiers at Valley Forge. I know it's an inconvenience to ask you to do this, but I would very much appreciate it. If you don't have time though, I understand. Thanks.

Translation into English

Hi, Rochlafayette. I am beginning the translation. I will finish tomorrow, I think. It's a little bit difficult, since there are old terms in French. Best regards from Mexico City. Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs--correogsk (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much

Thank you so much for taking the time do this. As a precaution, I asked several people listed on the French translation page to help me with the letter. Today I checked, and several people have sent me the translations or are in the process of translating them. To every one of them, I say "thank you." I've been trying for several weeks to find a translator (first on myspace, which was hardly any help at all, then on wikipedia, which I must say has been more helpful). I hope in the future you would still be willing to help with translations. There are several letters from Lafayette that I cannot understand. But it may be some time before I need them.

Thanks again.

ps I was watching C-SPAN today, and was quite surprised to learn that after all these years, Pulaski may be made an honorary citizen.

Sleep medicine

Hello, nice to hear from you. As you work on that article 'twould be fine if you can add more non-USA information. As I wrote it, there were/are two things I have a bad conscience about:

1. too little "world wide" and the
2. lack of a "Current research" section or something like that.

I have no formal training (perhaps you can tell...), but I've had DSPS all my life. Strangely, I never thought of it as "insomnia" though many others with the same disorder called it insomnia before they learned its name, and all too many got on the sleeping pill merry-go-round. I never saw it as a problem getting to sleep, but as the impossibility of getting up at an early hour.

Thus my great interest in sleep and disorders thereof. I'm convinced that a great many diagnoses like ADHD, depression and related ailments would simply dissolve if the patients' sleep disorders were discovered and treated. In addition "hay fever", the flu and other such illnesses are much more common when we try to live on a daytime schedule.

I blog about DSPS (see link at top of my user page). --Hordaland (talk) 00:57, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 206 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of The Truce (2003 film)

A tag has been placed on The Truce (2003 film), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:43, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Festival Internacional Cervantino

Hi! Students of the Club Wikipedia at ITESM CCM and I are working on a project to create and improve articles related to the Festival Internacional Cervantino. We are still organizing although we have made some good contacts with embassy of the special guest-countries and the press people of the Festival. Ive worked on the Festival's page and two participants' pages Angereds Teater and Åke Parmerud as well as the European Festival Association to which the festival belongs. It hasnt been easy so far, even the Festival page is no where near where Id like it to be and a lot of that is finding info. That's where we hope working with the embassies and making other contacts will help. *Fingers crossed* These articles also desperately need images, another focus of the project. Anyway, we could sure use some experienced hands at this, as most Club members are still newbies at editing Wikipedia. We want the Festival's article in as many languages as possible, as as many of the participants' pages in both English and Spanish.

If you'd like to help, we'd love to have you!Thelmadatter (talk) 17:47, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

The honest truth is that I would love to have WM-MX and Club Wikipedia collaborate with each other. For school and other reasons, the two groups have to be organizationally separate, but there is much each can offer the other! There is so much work to be done, there is no reason to feel that anything one does takes away from the other. A couple of students mentioned the idea of creating a Wikiproyect page for this Festival or perhaps better to have one for festivals in general. In this way, we can collaborate freely. As far as going to the Festival, we are seeing what we can do. Its less than a month away!Thelmadatter (talk) 00:30, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I know you already have contact with some of my ITESM students. Coordinate with them, helping them and others out as a mentor. I am working on starting articles on artists and others to try to eliminate the red links (as there are MANY), pretty much only work in English right now. Any work you can help out with any of these articles, in Spanish or English is appreciated. We hope to set up several editing sessions. Ill let you know. If you know any others in WM-MX that want to collaborate (lets keep this on an individual basis, not WM-MX as a group for now) by all means have them contact me. I have worked on European Festivals Association, Åke Parmerud and Angereds Teater so far, and working on Circo Aereo and Les Objets Volants. The Festival page is improved in English but not in Spanish and we would like to have that one in as many languages as possible. More than a few members of the Club speak French and/or German besides English and Ive been working on recruiting foreign students into the club.Thelmadatter (talk) 01:26, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
