Re: translating Philebus
I understand you were trying to help out there translating the article from German, and I don't want to necessarily discourage you in the future, but in addition to copy-editing more in the future, you might want to take a look at the essay on Translating German Wikipedia before translating anything else from there so you're aware of the pitfalls.

As someone who's translated several philosophy articles from German wikipedia, I think it's still a valuable resource and often has much more thorough coverage than we do, but in addition to copy-editing there's a fair amount of verification of sources that needs to be done because German wikipedia has much more lax standards for verification than we do here, e.g. a lot of what appear to be cited sources are actually just suggestions for further reading. Usually I find it helps to make a copy of the article in your sandbox or a notepad file; it's less work than starting from scratch by far, but typically I'd say even with access to the cited sources and knowledge of the background material, it's still about 10-20 hours worth of work after machine translation to get an article "ready" for enwiki, and at that point it's still pretty far from something like GA even if it was a featured article over there. Still often worth it in my opinion, but not quite the easy win it might seem to be at first! Psychastes (talk) 05:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)


 * OK, thank you for the advice! Most of my translations have been from Portuguese Wikipedia, with varying success. Sometimes something was removed, so I went back to Portuguese Wikipedia and requested for the original to be removed too. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 11:12, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
