User:TheSealOfApproval

Starting summer term 2021
Hello guys! Nice to spend this course with you, the seal of approval and I look forward spending the next weeks with you translating :)

Who is the seal of approval?
That's my 'pet'. He loves to approve or disapprove anything. Things he approves:
 * Food
 * fluffy things
 * correct answers
 * exciting books and stuff
 * plants
 * figure skating and messing around on ice

I should mention that he has a little sister: The seal of disapproval. But she's quite easy to handle.

Who am I?
Just someone who keeps two seals... and many plants, fluffy blankets and food to satisfy the seal of approval.

I, on the other hand, like trying out new stuff, getting my hands dirty and, to be honest, I mess up a lot but... I learn, one mistake at a time.

Why am I interested in translating?
In my job I need a lot of spontaneous translation skills. I also want to be able to translate my favorite book "die Stadt der träumenden Bücher" by Walter Moers for my friend in the US. Translation is a life skill I want to master... one day... For my language proficiency, please have a look on the "Babel user information" on the right.

Things I want to learn

 * 1) How to insert pictures! Sorry, I wanted to upload a picture of the seal of approval / a cool pic I took in Lisboa, but Wiki commons didn't allow it
 * 2) Why I can't cite anything here, otherwise I had inserted a passage of the book above.
 * 3) How to upload pictures and how to cite pictures in here.
 * 4) Probably some things more I don't know about yet.

Texts to translate
Whyever Wiki didn't recognize its own pages - these are all wiki pages that either are insufficiently, partly or not at all translated to Engish (dibs on Zamonien!)

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal_an_der_Porta_Westfalica this page isn't translated completely. I was at the Wilhelms memorial when I was one day old... so, this has a quite sentimental meaning for me.

Robert Blum This page is briefly summarized in English, the German page offeres a lot more AND there is a hint from the wiki-admins that this page lacks quotations and refers mainly to external links.

!!!!! dibs on Zamonien !!!!!

Zamonien This has not been translated to English so far - Zamonien is a fictional continent where most of the stories of Walter Moers take place. (favorite books... #nerd) 5500 wtt

!!!!! dibs on Zamonien !!!!

Der Bücherdrache is a book of Walter Moers that was published in 2019, '''1300 wtt. English page doesn't exist'''
