Re: Thanks for welcome and help
You're most certainly welcome Beth... thank you for your message. I might look and act like a bot at times, but don't let that fool you ;). I can see that you've been working very hard on the Sarek National Park article, and I'm glad to know that I haven't been getting in your way with my fixes. Best of luck to you with future developments of the article. Have yourself a great day, and happy editing! :) -- WikHead (talk) 18:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Translation help
Greetings Beth, there has been a proposal on the Prem Rawat article talk page to include some info from a 2.5 min news clip from Univision Channel 41, the largest Spanish language TV network in the US. Since the Prem Rawat article is one of the most intensely debated article on Wikipedia and subject to article probation it would be best if we made sure the translation was accurate. If you're able to do it, the clip can be found at. Thanks. Momento (talk) 06:39, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I was hoping that there was more material than the subtitles provided. They seam to do a lot more talking than the subtitles suggest. Thanks Momento (talk) 13:16, 11 February 2012 (UTC) Thanks Beth.Momento (talk) 19:58, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois
Hi Beth,

I've spent a couple of days translating the rest of Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois, which you started, adding in templates and  and their sub-templates, and checking all the refs. You may like to cast your eye over it: No doubt there are numerous typos, slips, inconsistencies and some clumsy translation (e.g. unnatural word order), which I tend to miss when translating (the refs and links usually take most of the time and make one a little word-blind to the actual text).

Everything's marked on the relevant talk pages with, as required.

Translation needed
Hi,

Will you please be so kind to help me with one translation:

"Skanderbeg aux temps de son insurrection (Skanderbeg avait confié la défense de Kruje à Uran, au temps où celle-ci avait été assiégée par Murad II en 1450, tandis que Skanderbeg avait préféré se battre en dehors de ses murs)'3. Puisqu'il est porté mention d'Urana dans notre régistre, et qu'il est le père du scribe appelé Zaganos, il faut conjecturer qu'il devait être en âge assez avancé. On sait que le Comte Uran est mort en 1458. D'une note dans le même document on apprend qu'en mai 1438 ' 5, neuf villages du vildyet de Dhimitër Jonima (Dimitri Gônima, Gionima), dans le Mali supérieur, et qui appartenaient à Skanderbeg, avaient été octroyés à André Karlo. Selon toute vraisemblance cela est à rattacher à la révocation de Skanderbeg du poste de subaçi. Ces neuf villages, toujours selon le registre en question, étaient situés dans les terres de Jean (Yuvan-ili), c'est-à-dire qu'ils appartenaient aux domaines de Jean Kastriote, le père de Skanderbeg. Jean, quoique réussi, devant la pression de Mehmed 1er, à garder pour un certain temps encore ses positions sous le protectorat vénitien, dans les premières années du règne de Murad II fut absolument obligé d'entrer sous la vassalité ottomane. La note en question, datée 1438, ne laisse subsister aucun doute que c'est autour de cette date que ces terres avaient été cadastrées. Les neuf villages en question, compte tenu qu'ils se trouvaient sur le Registre de Yuvan-ili (Jean Kastriote), sont du domaine du père de Skanderbeg. L'octroi de ces villages à André Karlo doit avoir fâché Skanderbeg. Quoique l'Etat ottoman considérât ces terres des domaines d'Etat attribuables en timar, pour Skanderbeg il s'agissait des domaines seigneuriaux de son père. Jean Kastriote est mort en 1443.. Comme nous le dit Chalcocondy- las après la retraite des Ottomans dans les Balkans en 1443 devant l'Hunyade, les anciens seigneurs se dépêchèrent de tous les côtés à rentrer en possession des domaines de leurs pères. Skanderbeg abandonne l'armée du Sultan,, vient et s'empare de Kruje, et. en sa qualité de seigneur de Kastriote, prend possession des domaines de son père, qu'on avait octroyé à d'autres. En été 1444, comme tous les autres du reste,, Skanderbeg, aussi était convaincu que les Ottomans allaient être chassés complètement des Balkans. Cependant, la défaite subie par les Croisés à la bataille de Varna, fit s'évanouir ces espoirs. Après avoir traité brièvement du lien qui passe entre l'insurrection de Skanderbeg avec Kruje, nous pouvons retourner aux notes qui figurent sur les registres ottoman toujours pour ce qui concerne Kruje. Dans le registre17 de l'an 1432, nous trouvons la note suivante : "Akçahisar (Kruje) même est un château de pierre, gardé par les suivants : selon les documents délivrés par le regretté sultan (Mehmed Ier) et le sultan de notre temps"

It is a text from work of Halil İnalcık, From empire to republic: essays on Ottoman and Turkish social history.

Please inform me at my talkpage if you did have some time to translate this.

Thanks in advance.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. This is not urgent. The text is relatively longer but I think very important, so please take all the time you need.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I intend to use your translation in article building soon. I hope you would not mind if I approach again to you in case of need for additional clarification. I really appreciate your effort. Thank you very much.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 14:48, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Khutir Nadia.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Khutir Nadia.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Тимофей ЛееСуда . 01:44, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Cambridge fresher's fair
Hello Beth,

I've bid a stall on behalf of the Cambridge University Wikipedia Society at the Cambridge University fresher's fair, 2-3 October. If you are around, it would be great if you can come and help by staffing the stall for a few hours!

The fair will run, roughly, from 9am to 7pm on the 2nd, and 9am to 4pm on the 3rd; details are yet to be confirmed. You certainly won't be expected to stay the whole day unless you really want to! It'll be a sign-up stall for the campus Wikipedia Society, and we'll give out Wikimedia freebies at the event to promote awareness for Wikipedia-editing and Wikimedia UK.

Please contact me if you're interested in helping, even if it's just a few hours. Thanks! (You're receiving this message because you've signed up for a recent Cambridge meetup - apologies if you aren't around anymore) Deryck C. 22:33, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Serge Tisseron
Hi! As part of a university course, I asked my French students to write the article about Serge Tisseron (which already existed in French). I think they do a good job (nobody contributed to Wikipedia before), but the quality of English is not good. Can help us check grammar, syntax, and so on? Or can you transfer the request to someone who could help us? Many thanks! IntraLucide (talk) 12:55, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thanks a lot for your work on the article Serge Tisseron! Well, to be honest, I have no idea what the sentence you pointed out was supposed to mean. Maybe something like : "and made sure that the direction taken would be well followed"? Well, I'm not convinced by my own words actually! :-) IntraLucide (talk) 15:13, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Possible translation?
Dear Beth, There is a very interesting article that just obtained a featured status on the French Wikipedia. It is describing a statuette found in Tunisia and representing Ganymede. It has a particularity: it has been stolen in November 2013 and thus attracted media attention. As I saw you were listed in available translators from French, I was just wondering if you would be interested to translate this article and participate to sharing the knowledge about this artwork with the English-speaking readers. You can answer me on my talk page. Regards, Moumou82 (talk) 11:28, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
