User talk:Conversano Isabella/Hans Handler - Sandbox
Latest comment: 14 years ago by Montanabw
I'll let you flesh out this one a bit before I go in and wordsmith. Here are some ideas:
- I recommend looking at what you can verify via English language sources as well as German ones...En.wiki has a preference for sources that are in the same language as the article. Not that you can't use German ones, but if, for example, you throw in a link or a footnote to the English language version of the SRS official site, such as their list of directors, that would strengthen things in the eyes of those who care about such things. For example, a simple Google search for "hans handler" gave me all these: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=hans+handler&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=
- I suggest adding a birth date if you can find one, a date of death if he is no longer alive, etc. If he is still alive, remember WP:BLP, which basically says you have to have more and better sourcing than if he has passed away. Anything else on how he got to be Director or anything he did that was particularly special or notable should be added.
- Handler wrote some books (one, anyway...). I would therefore include a "Bibliography" section and put in citations to the English language versions of his writing (a search at Amazon.com will give you everything you need, title, publisher, date, ISBN # and so on...or if he just wrote one book, mention it in the narrative and put it in as a reference work at the end.
- Where a German title is the correct version and a translation is not suitable, put the German in italics (which cues in an English reader that this is a foreign language term) and add an English translation in parentheses: As an example, the famous [JFK quote could be written as: Ich bin ein Berliner ("I am a Berliner")
- Any sources where there is a link to the web should include the URL. Ideally you want more than one source for an article.
Get it as far as you can in terms of content, and then send me another message and I'll start wordsmithing the Engish for you. Montanabw(talk) 19:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
