Unsung: A History of Women in American Music

Just came across the Unsung: A History of Women in American Music article. Nice job there! Awesome that we have an article for this important book. Best – Aza24 (talk) 01:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Aza24 Thank you! We need even more books out there like this. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Translation of page from German Wikipedia

Long time, no talk. I am working on a page for John Toner (see my 5th sandbox). Originally I translated the page from German wikipedia using Google translate. I have been adding to the page and updating references. How do I acknowledge it came from German Wikipedia? Should I try to rewrite the entire page? Mvitulli (talk) 16:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mvitulli: There is definitely a way to do this. Rosiestep} and Ipigott often do translations and should have an idea which template is best to use to show translation work was done and how. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:11, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Sue. I put a note on Rosiestep's talk page. Mvitulli (talk) 22:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Mvitulli: When you create a new article, you should actually say in your first edit comment that you are translating from the page in German. If you forget to do so, you can mention it in a later edit. It is also a good idea to include a translated template on the article's talk page. You can find more details in Help:Translation. I believe you are referring to your draft of John Toner which is based on the German John Toner (Physiker). I therefore suggest that when you next edit the article or move it to mainspace, you include in your edit comment "This article is based on a translation of the German page John Toner (Physiker)." It looks to me as if the article is ready for mainspace. As we already have an article on John Toner, I suggest you call it John Toner (physicist). Would you like to move it yourself or should I move it for you? The move would be a good opportunity to mention the translation.--Ipigott (talk) 08:53, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks u:Ipigott. I need to correct a few things and then I will move it myself. I will call it John Toner (physicistj Mvitulli (talk) 14:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
