Talk:Dora Trial/GA1
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

Requests
Hi! I'm not sure if you're taking requests, but I would greatly appreciate if you would translate these articles from German to English:
 * Anton Thumann
 * Franz Suchomel

For Suchomel, I would then expand upon it when you are done with some English sources - there just are not quite enough in English to make it a good article.Hoops gza (talk) 23:58, 28 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi! Sure I'd be happy to do the translations... I see the existing German articles are well sourced with inline footnotes, so that will be simpler and leave a quality result you can expand further. When done I'll let you know. Ultracobalt (talk) 22:25, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Just saw your Kuhl link on the P'daele page
and followed it. Very interesting essay, thanks. Pity the sources are in German though I have to content myself with a few transalted passages in Terraine and Sheldon.Keith-264 (talk) 13:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

G.C. Wynne, "If Germany Attacks" (1939, 1976 edn) has been very helpful but I've had to do a lot of gleaning elsewhere.Keith-264 (talk) 14:16, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Nice start, but the article is missing a description section and referencing needs to be improved a little for a B class rating. Mjroots (talk) 04:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/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 South East Asia, Japan/China or India 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:48, 21 October 2016 (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) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
