Checking on your people

Hi Elinruby,

This is in response to your request here.

This is probably too soon to notice much activity, plus this probably needs a "results" column which I forgot to add (next version!) but for starters, this should help you at least keep track of everybody. Note that some of these editors haven't contributed in quite some time, so I wouldn't hold my breath on results back from them.

ER invitees from June 2-7

In col. 2, en-N assumed, unless specified.

Hope that helps. If I notice results coming in, I'll update the table, but I don't have them watchlisted, so I'd have to drop by here to find out; when you're back let me know, so I can stop. Mathglot (talk) 07:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Added a place to put results. Mathglot (talk) 07:53, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
@Mathglot: I am checking messages. I intend to be heading back out in maybe a day or two and will be reviewing stuff after that. Btw I ran into someone today (rl) that I'd been trying to recruit for Dilma Rousseff and mentioned to her that we have some articles on the history of Mozambique and Goa in pt, and she seemed to be saying she'd come in. She'd be a brand new account if she does, so lend a hand if you can to anyone you see like that in the pt articles. She says she is fluent because she is married to a portuguese speaker. Elinruby (talk) 23:57, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Will do. Maybe coach her a little on core principles as it takes a while to learn how things work around here, remember? Or, if she's just going to be doing copyediting at first for grammar, style, etc. (not a bad way to start, to get the hang of previewing/saving etc.) then she doesn't need to know much, but as she starts picking stuff up from Pt sources and adding them here in En, she's going to need to know how to [WP:CITE|cite sources]], and pretty soon after that learn about templates like {{cite book}} and {{cite web}} to back up her additions. But first, let's see if you get her on board, that would be great. Mathglot (talk) 00:21, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
I got several answers and will update the list and the table shortly, but I need to go do some stuff just now. I will be in and out most of the evening, but mostly out. My friend is a nice sensible lady and totally understood the fairness issues I was explaining to her about the Dilma Rousseff pages. Elinruby (talk) 00:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
back online, going to go log answers, update lists. Unless you tell me something else I plan to put check marks next to the ones that are pass, since we have a native speaker saying it is a good translation and presumably ok with putting the translated template on those, right? I am thinking I will update the by-language list and then the translator list to show who has responded. (?) Re translators who have not edited in some time, in some cases there is nobody who has posted more recently. This was the case with Turkish for example and either Latvian or Lithuanian. Or maybe both. The editor who was talking about Bulgarian had not started yet as far as I can tell but look, the Bulgarian-language about slavic and scandinavian art is essentially a database import in places, very formulaic. I questioned a couple of painting titles and they proved out. These articles are all referenced to that 280 best work of art in Europe project last year. (I forget the exact name). We should check copyright on these and get translated templates on ones where a native speaker says the translation is accurate. Incidentally, didn't Turkey turn wikipedia off? *I* don't really want to be on the same side as the current government of Turkey, personally so I urge we keep Turkish articles as a matter of policy. A lot of these are about archaeology and should not be controversial, as I recall. If these articles are going to some sort of draft space anyway I don't see the harm of doing a second round of recruitment for Turkish, because I am sure there is somebody. I don't have myself listed for anything on Wikipedia, for example, just Wikimedia Commons. Heck, it makes me want to organise Turkish expatriates to into an editathon; we/they would have to be very careful about attribution though....

Did you notice that one of your es translators, Ce_Ele_415 (talk · contribs), is ca-N? Spanish translators are (relatively) easy to find; if I were you, I would call them off working on the es articles, and send them some Catalan instead. I'll be out most of tomorrow, back in the evening, and if you'd rather I take that on, and I can; let me know. Mathglot (talk) 09:06, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

no, although the name suggests it somehow. I will try to get to this but I am having trouble getting through the to-do list I set earlier. I have annotated the invited-translator list on my user page as of a couple of hours ago, but have only updated the master list for one translator so far, danish. One question about a word in the title that is being varyingly translated as door, garden door and French door. There are answers from several, including the vietnamese articles. Elinruby (talk) 09:34, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
actually I sent a message about this before I forget. I mentioned you so you should get a notification Elinruby (talk) 09:39, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
