 * Dear Kj cheetham,
 * Thank you for your kind greeting.  It will be fun to work on Wikipedia.   Of course, I have a specific goal in mind which is to translate a page about a friend and colleague from the German Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia ... but I understand that I have to practice by doing some service work before submitting it.  I was hoping that translating an existing page wouldn't count as a "new" page but I understand the rules.  I'm off and running :-)
 * Have a great day!
 * Cheers,

 * Dear Jim, translating something from German Wikipedia still counts as new to English Wikipedia I believe! Given it's an article about someone you know, you should also be aware of it being a potential conflict of interest, so you should take a look at WP:COI too. But should be okay if you put it through WP:AFC once you're ready rather than moving it to mainspace yourself. Have fun! -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:40, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:Howard Wieman has a new comment
 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Howard Wieman. Thanks! CNMall41 (talk) 00:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Dear CNMall41,
 * Thank you for your quick reply.  I'm having fun and learning a lot about how the Wikipedia world works ... but obviously I have much more to learn.
 * The Draft article about Howard Wieman (English) is a nearly word for word translation of the same article that was posted on the German Wikipedia for a number of years. See Howard Wieman – Wikipedia     The content of the original German article (not authored by me) was taken mostly from material collected at the American Physics Society and I included that reference in the English draft as Reference 1 (Prize Recipient (aps.org)).
 * Are these sufficiently good references for review?  I would be delighted to hear your thoughts. HeavyIons (talk) 01:07, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
