Walser
Hi, the Walser link looked like a test edit because it didn't link. It is a also a blog, which doesn't work for external links - WP:EL. Thanks Span (talk) 14:03, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see the reasoning of your first point, but the site is not actually a blog -- from all I can tell, it seems to be the official site of the Robert Walser Center and archive in Bern, and as such, absolutely relevant to scholarly (and encyclopedic) inquiries about Walser. This is certainly a useful link to have in the article, isn't it? Sindinero (talk) 14:32, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see that I was looking at the only part of the page in English, which is the blog. Could you add more detail about the link, adding that it is a German language site, and the official site, if that's what it is? I don't speak German. Thanks Span (talk) 14:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll try to do that soon - I've been pretty busy off the computer, so it may take a few more days. Sindinero (talk) 12:26, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
Dear Sindinero, thanks for your comments in my contribution BINDER (company). I've worked on the article to improve it. It would be great if you could have a quick look at it again. Since I'm very new to Wikipedia and this is my first article I would also very much appreciate your advise in how is the usual procedure in getting a new article finally online. Thanks a lot!

Art intro: your blanket reversal of my edits
Thank you for intervening. But now I am really confused. Am I being accused of something? Pendright (talk) 02:53, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No, not at all - the discussion I started below yours concerned a different editor. Sindinero (talk) 11:02, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. And thank you too for coming to my aid.  It says a great deal about you as a person, and the depth of your commitment to Wikipedia.   Next month marks my first year as a contributor.  While there have been a few bumps in the road, it’s been a privilege to be involved in such a worthy and far-reaching idea. Hopefully, one day I can do for you what you tried to do for me. Pendright (talk) 22:42, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I wish I could take credit for what you're thanking me for, but like I mentioned, my question to Ewulp was about another new editor. But I'm really glad you're approaching the year mark, and have had what seems overall like a good experience. Keep up the good work! Sindinero (talk) 22:52, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I get it, finally. Sorry! Pendright (talk) 03:13, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Interested?
Hello Sindineo! At WikiProject Germany/Members I read, that you're interested and competent in German politics. Maybe and if you're interested you could be a help for this problem about a non-neutral article about a new German political party. More about the problems with the article you can read here at User The Banner's Talk page and here at the article Talk page. I think, user The Banner would be glad about a little help of political neutral contributors at the article page Alternative for Germany. -- Many greetings -- Kleiner Stampfi (talk) 00:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention
at Karl Blossfeldt, an odd little article that gets a lot more vandalism than it deserves. I am wondering if the Berliner Kunsthochschule is in fact the Berlin Arts and Crafts School that links to Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin that is mentioned in the first paragraph? Always more questions. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 14:08, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Good question, and not one that I can answer. I think one would have to check the source, or at least the German Wiki article on KB. Sindinero (talk) 18:25, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Wikilinking
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
 * dates
 * years
 * commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
 * common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies to infoboxes.)

Thanks, and my best wishes.

 * Thanks for letting me know! I wasn't aware of the policy on country names. Cheers, Sindinero (talk) 23:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Can you help verify translations of articles from German
Hello Sindinero,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?



This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:
 * 1) Ulf Kämpfer
 * 2) Ullrich Sierau

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the Pass and Fail templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.

If you can help, please ping me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 07:26, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
