J. J. McCarthy
Hello, thank you for reporting the copyvio issue on J. J. McCarthy. That’s a bad news for me, because I worked on the translation of several items (more than the half…) listed on Contributor copyright investigations/MacLeinin. I’m saving the texts, I let you investigate, and I will help you to clean all on French Wikipedia if necessary. Please keep me informed of what's happening here, I don’t use to look at English Wikipedia. Nemoi is French, and he begs your pardon for all the stange things he certainly has said here at 12:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC).
 * Hi there, I don't understand why this article was deleted. It looks like it was more to do with a problem with the transaltion into French, but I may not understand it properly. Would it be possible that you have some basic information that could create a stub for now, seeing as you have suggested you have more information on the architect. Thanks DubhEire (talk) 13:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi DubhEire, this article was deleted at en-wp as plain copyvio (see here and here if you want to know more about this case). The article at fr-wp was deleted as this turned out to be a translation of the copyvio. Unfortunately it took me longer than expected to create a new article for J. J. McCarthy from scratch. I've just published it at de-wp and I would be willing to translate it into English. This would, however, take some time again. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 17:42, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok. There is a lot of information there. My German is very poor, but that looks like good work. Well done. There is no hurry or demand to put this into English. I was simply looking for anything at all. I will look forward to some point in the future. Thanks. DubhEire (talk) 19:02, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Guten Abend
Getting acquainted here since we have worked together on Commons. Pumpkin Sky  talk  00:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi PumpkinSky, vielen Dank für die Begrüßung! I see that you have created a nice stretch of articles about Montana, Alberta and even some translations of de-wp articles. Let me know whenever you are going to hit some Irish topic :) Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 21:18, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * HEHE. What's your connection to Ireland? Pumpkin Sky  talk  21:22, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm periodically visiting Ireland since 1986 as I fell in love with that country right from the beginning. I know a lot of locations in Ireland, in particular the sites of medieval monasteries which I like to photograph. I've at home a nice library regarding Irish topics which allows me to access initial material and pointers to more literature without much effort. I haven't created any articles at en-wp yet (just at de-wp, samples are of recent work are James Joseph McCarthy, Dunmore, County Galway, and William Martin Murphy) but I am open to collaborative projects. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 21:59, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
