Black women and endometrial cancer

Hi Taketa, the source I have says that those statistics are for White and Black women in general, not just in America. What source are you working from? I'm happy to send you what I'm working with if you want. Best, Keilana|Parlez ici 21:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Keilana, I reverted because your edit changed what it said without stating any source, and I thought you simply assumed that it was logical. Feel free to make the changes and add your sources to the article. All the best, Taketa (talk) 21:10, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, okay, no worries! It was cited to Hoffman at the end of the paragraph. :) Thanks, Keilana|Parlez ici 21:29, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rijksmonumenten

Hi Taketa

I noticed that you are active in creating and improving Dutch Rijksmonument articles. Great -- I don't find the time but would love to do more.

A while ago I created a template Rijksmonument that creates a small info box which automatically links through to the Monumentregister. The template is fairly simple to add as it goes {{Rijksmonument|MONUMENT NUMBER}}. Applying the template systematically has a few advantages. If websites of the register change, a change to the template should solve it for all. The What is linking here overview of the template gives an overview of all Monuments in Wikipedia. So please consider using it. All the best Arnoutf (talk) 16:52, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arnoutf, I had noticed the template and had considered using it but decided not to because I did not see the purpose at the time. I will consider using it in my future works. All the best, Taketa (talk) 17:11, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that this editor has not edited in four years does not mean that he does not exist. Or am I missing something? Unless I am, the speedy tags on his pages, which I have removed and you replaced, are not appropriate.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:35, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Created by another user, as you say, who made a number of edits but nothing since 2010. I think that the other, empty account was made in error; my apologies for arguing the point. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:44, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About the list of translators

Hello Taketa, I've noticed you are the one working on the list of Translators. I'm just wondering if you could keep me on there, I am going to work with the Norwegian and Danish Wikipedias for now, but I'm still around and checking translation request pages on this Wikipedia for any languages I can do. Thank you. --Kanashimi Hyoketsu 03:03, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kanashimi, I am checking everyones activity, and you are very active. Because you are very active, I made your name bold on the Norwegian-to-English section. This will make it easier for people to find active translators. So you are not only on the list, you are on the top of the list :). All the best, Taketa (talk) 05:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned at IRC that admin -jem- says that he is a CU confirmed sock of JimmyTwoShoes fan. He is now claiming no relationship. I cannot find jem. A Spanish admin perhaps? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:58, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Found. Please see here. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:59, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak:, thank you for the notice. -Jem- was on IRC at #wikipedia-es, using the name "Jem" and a Wikipedia cloak identifying them as Wikipedia user -Jem-. We spoke in the Spanish restricted anti-vandalism chat with several es.wikipedia admins present. -Jem- gave the link confirming multiple account abuse, which I posted at WP:CHUS, and said it was CU confirmed. I see that you have contacted -Jem-, so that should clarify. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I will follow the situation.

translation of a dutch sentence

Your user name is in the list of wp:Translators available#Dutch to English. I wonder if you can help me with a translation of the following sentence to English: "Er is nooit een artikel van mij gepubliceerd in een scientific tijdschrift." thanks.

I do not want to waste your time, but if you would like to hear about the background, here it is. The sentence source is an interview with Norman Finkelstein in a dutch newspaper. I added a translation of this sentence to his article, but 3 different users claims that the translation is wrong. When asked what is the problem they do not reply. So it is stuck. Ykantor (talk) 13:04, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ykantor, your translation is correct. I have had a look at the article. I think the main problem is context. You put the text in the article a bit weird. A single sentence quotation, which cannot be understood without context, is not a good way to start a section. It does not make sence without a bit more sentences around it to explain the situation. The situation is explained afterwards, so maybe find a different spot to put it, more at the end of the scientific career section, after all the conflicts have been explained. Or maybe somewhere in the middle with some extra text. All the best, Taketa (talk) 14:33, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is not true that no-one has replied to Ykantor's query. There has in fact been several hundred words of discussion on this very point. I would appreciate it if, rather than simply stating "your translation is correct", you could offer your own translation of this sentence, to help resolve the ambiguities. Thanks. RolandR (talk) 16:37, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As literal as possible: "Never has an article of mine been published in a scientific magazine." All the best, Taketa (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to persist on this, but the tense really matters here. Does the Dutch translation of his statement (presumably originally in English) quote him as saying that no article of his has ever at any time in the past been published in a scientific magazine, or that no article of his is ever now published? You comment above that the context is the main problem, and this ambiguity reflects that. Also, since he is a historian, what do you understand by the word "wetenschappelijk"? Is it "scientific", as we would use the term in English, or is it broader: scholarly, acadenic or similar? Many thanks. RolandR (talk) 21:50, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, taking the paragraph the sentence is in as background. He states how he is treated in the United States academic circles/environment if one critices Israel like he did in his work "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict". Everything else in the paragraph is about how he is treated in the United States. The "er" in the sentence can both refer to the United states or be meant in general, I cannot be sure. A few sentences before he says he has never been able to get a job, this is clearly an exageration, and the never been published may be the same; never been published in any prominent journals. You ask whether "wetenschappelijk" in this case is "scientific". I believe he means scientific journals, but then again, from this paragraph I do not have enough context to be sure. You asked for the tense is this case, this is never ever. All the best, Taketa (talk) 22:26, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's still unclear. Does the sentence say "I have never ever been published" (which would be untrue), or "I am never ever published"? The difference, in terms of the overall meaning of the statement, is immense; it is the difference between "My work is too insignificant to publish" and "I am paying the price for my views". RolandR (talk) 02:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence says "I have never ever been published". Even if it is untrue, it is what it means. This is very clear in Dutch because it says "is nooit", the other meaning it would have been "wordt nooit". As you can see he also said he has never ever been able to get a job, which is obviously untrue. (Possible interpretations:) His intend may be an exageration, a certain type of job and a certain type of scientific journal. It could also be that he is referring to a past period in which his statements were true, but that his current situation, at the time of the quote, is better. However it would be an implied meaning from the context and not a literal meaning of what he says. All the best, Taketa (talk) 07:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ik ben geen martelaar, zegt Finkelstein, als hij vreest dat hij die indruk aan het wekken is. "Elke vijf jaar oude Palestijnse jongen die een steen gooide naar Israelische soldaten heeft meer moed dan ik. Maar als je wilt weten hoe je wordt behandeld in het Amerikaanse academische milieu, als je kritiek hebt op Israel zoals ik heb gedaan in Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict dan is het dit: ik heb nooit een baan kunnen krijgen. Ik ben op Hunter College een adjunct- leraar, wat zoveel is als liftjongen. Mijn inkomen ligt tussen de 15.000 en de 18.000 dollar, ver onder de armoedegrens. "Als dit appartement er aardig uitziet, komt het doordat de meubels van mijn ouders er nog staan. Ze stierven allebei in 1995, ik was al ingetrokken in hun woning. Ik kon schoon schip maken en alle meubels eruit gooien, of het zo laten. Ik heb het zo gelaten, dat was ook een manier om het te verwerken. "Ik ben één keer uitgenodigd voor een sollicitatiegesprek, op de universiteit van San Francisco, een klein jezuïetencollege. Er is nooit een artikel van mij gepubliceerd in een wetenschappelijk tijdschrift. Ik mag op Hunter nooit college geven over de jodenuitroeiing, alleen over de geschiedenis van de politieke theorie. Ik geef ook zelden overdag college, meestal 's avonds. Ik heb mijn prijs betaald.

I am not a marter, says Finkelstein, when he fears he is creating that impression. "Every five year old Palestinian boy that throws a stone at an Israeli soldier has more courage then me. But if you want to know how you get treated in the American academic environment, if you criticise Israel, like I did in Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict then this is it: I have never been able to get a job. On Hunter I am an adjunct-teacher, which is as much as an elevatorboy. My income is between 15.000 and 18.000 dollar, far below the poverty line. "If this appartment looks nice, it is because the furniture from my parents is still there. They both died in 1995, I was already living in their house. I could make a clean start and throw out all furniture, or leave it like it is. I left it like it is, that was also a way to process it. "I was one time invited for a solicitation interview, at the university of San Francisco, a small Jesuit college. Never has an article of mine been published in a scientific magazine. On Hunter I am never allowed to give a college about the extermination of the Jews, only about the history of the political theory. I also rarely teach during daytime, mostly in the evening. I have payed my due.

I hope this helps. All the best, Taketa (talk) 22:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the translation. User:RolandR is one of those 3 users that claimed that the translation is wrong but have not said what is wrong. However, the secret is exposed here. He apparently wants the translation to be "I am never ever published" rather than your translation "Never has an article of mine been published in a scientific magazine".

A reader pointed out (OTRS 2015013110000591) that the article is about Kathryn Adams Doty, born in 1920, while you added a photo of KATHRYN ADAMS, born in 1897. That photo was taken in 1920, which may have led to the confusion.

Image added to Flat leaf sponge on en:

Hi Taketa, How do you identify the taxon for this photo? Regards, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 14:01, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pbsouthwood, I followed your own identitfication on Commons [3]. If this is not correct please let me know and I can make changes on several Wikipedias. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 14:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is a best guess identification based on a photo in a local field guide. I am not an expert and sponge taxonomy is notoriously problematic. I was hoping you had a better method, or were independently agreeing:-/ I will leave it to your discretion. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:43, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an expert either. I checked some images for comparison before adding this particular one, because it did not have an obvious name or description and I wanted to be sure the category was correct, but it was too hard to tell for sure. Sorry I cannot help. Taketa (talk) 07:48, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article on ITSU

Dear Taketa, It was pleasure talking to you yesterday and really appreciate the support you provided on the article. As per your suggestions, i have made changes to the article. As you have gone through the article in details, it will be great if you could spare few more minutes and have a fresh look and let me know if this can now be published. Thanks and best regards, Prashant.chitkara (talk) 10:48, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
