Welcome! But ...[edit]

Welcome!

Hello, William Scheibe, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Swedish; did you know there is a Swedish Wikipedia? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! Yngvadottir (talk) 17:59, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Välkommen!

Hej, William Scheibe, och välkommen till Wikipedia! Vi uppskattar tacksamt alla bidrag. Tyvärr är engelskan i dina redigeringar inte tillräckligt bra för att vara användbar. Du verkar vara mer bekant med det svenska språket – visste du att det också finns ett svenskspråkigt Wikipedia? Kanske skulle du föredra att bidra där istället. Oavsett: välkommen, och tack för dina ansträngningar! Yngvadottir (talk) 17:59, 8 December 2012 (UTC) Yngvadottir (talk) 17:59, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I translated Egon Scheibe; I had already heard of him and knew that he was notable, so I did not want the article to be deleted (as articles in foreign languages on English Wikipedia very often are). There are already articles about him on the German and Swedish Wikipedias; I made interwiki links to them. Thank you for giving us an article on him. Who knows how long it would have been before someone else did so. However, when I looked at the other articles, and looked for references (which are required on English Wikipedia), I discovered that almost nothing in your article was true. Did you confuse the Egon Scheibe who founded Scheibe Flugzeugbau with someone else? Yngvadottir (talk) 17:59, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
