Thanks for creating the Stephanie Hansen article!
Good work ... had she lost (Heaven forfend!) she would probably not have been notable, but the second she won you were right there!

I have started the talk page with the relevant WikiProjects.

I am also wondering if you would be interested in making this a DYK nominee (Biden going door-to-door is a great hook right there!) I think we want to add more about her biography, which is out there on her website and in the news. Daniel Case (talk) 07:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

The more I think about it, I am wondering if we might be able to tease out a separate article on the race itself. Most of the article as it is now is devoted to the race, not her, and since The New York Times and The Washington Post both gave it non-trivial coverage, it meets the notability standards. We usually AFAIK don't have articles on special elections for state legislatures but I think we can justify an exception here.

If we can make a separate article on the race, we can include both of them in the DYK hook (and it would be easier to justify the Biden hook, since generally when we have articles about a person on DYK the idea is that the hook should be something having to do with them specifically). And having a twofer hook always looks good to people reviewing noms (I have a lot of experience at DYK, as you can tell from my userpage; I can handle the QPQ aspect if you want). Would you be OK with doing this?

This would also give us room to add some more detail to her article about her political and pre-political past. Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I have some errands to do, and when I get done with them I'll start it. Daniel Case (talk) 19:41, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Sorry it took me longer to do than I thought (because Oscars) but after running down every possible reliably sourced bit of information about her career I finally think the bio aspects of the article are down cold. Now I have some more things to do and then I'll start the election article. Daniel Case (talk) 21:00, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

OK. The election article now exists. Daniel Case (talk) 05:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

I have nominated it for DYK (with you getting credit as well) and it has been approved! I don't know when it will run, though, but definitely later this month (as I continue to work on the election article). Daniel Case (talk) 19:40, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Can you help verify translations of articles from German
Hello Socrates Burrito,

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) Ursela Monn
 * 2) Waddensea of Hamburg

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)
