Can you help verify translations of articles from Chinese[edit]

Hello HoCheungHenryLi,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Chinese to English Wikipedia?

File:Language icon.svg

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Chinese 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 Chinese , 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 Chinese. 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 Chinese article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 22:14, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kawhi the Claw[edit]

I'm in favor of explaining directly where the nickname comes from. Compare to, say Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is nicknamed "the Greek Freak" not because his nearly unstoppable Eurostep or other offensive skills, but because he's a seven-footer with the athleticism and mobility of a guard. Similarly with Kawhi; he's a great on-ball defender in general, of course, but what lead to his nickname was the ease with which he steals balls out of other players' hands. --bender235 (talk) 14:14, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize in advance for leaving this message here as I don't have another method of contact.

Regarding the Kawhi Leonard edits, I apologize for my decision to revert your edit - my instinct was that Leonard's defensive skills is more than obtaining possessions. My reasons for reverting seemed rude - which I deeply regret. However, defense in basketball is more than obtaining possessions - it also, notably, means delaying/preventing the opponent from scoring, which Leonard also does. From an entertainment standpoint, obtaining possessions is more significant than delaying/preventing scoring which explains the 'ball-hawk' definition.

Then again I would have preferred not to revert your edit and use such strong words to describe my decision. I deeply respect your contributions to Wikipedia and my strong language certainly wasn't consistent with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HoCheungHenryLi (talk • contribs) 10:39, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There was nothing rude about your revert, we just happened to disagree. But as a matter of fact, Leonard's nickname "The Claw" refers to his ball-hawking rather than his defensive overall, just like "Air Jordan" refers to MJ's hang time not his overall offensive prowess. --bender235 (talk) 22:28, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
