User talk:Wafry

Welcome!

Thanks for translating African elephant! When you complete a translation you can simply move it to the 'translated' section on WP:TIE, someone will read and correct it, and of course you can also read and correct other peoples work, if you like. I saw that you already discovered Wikipedia:Spanish translation of the week and are helping out at the inverse translation. If you want to, you can put {t1|user SPATRA} on your user page, this will unfold to {user SPATRA}

¡Bienvenido(a)!

I'm very glad to see that you've signed on for the WikiProject Spain; we're starting to increase in many good ways! If there is something in particular that you have a special interest in, please let me know. If you're curious about little projects or tasks that might benefit from your attention, I'll be glad to offer a suggestion or two. Either way, welcome, and I hope to hear from you.

Re:SPATRA Civil Code of Argentina finished

Thanks, Wafry. I'll look the page over, see what seems best. Good translation work! --Fsotrain09 02:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On eswiki?

Do you have an account on the Spanish Wikipedia? I'm es:Usuario:Dgies. —dgiestc 18:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do, but I use more often the English wiki, as it's more complete. es:Usuario:Wafry--Wafry 19:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gracias por votar para que la Feria de Abril sea traducida correctamente al español, tiene bastante contenido que no he querido seguir añadiendo con el traductor automático. Un saludo. --Saeta 11:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CNT translation

It doesn't look like many people are joining in on this translation yet? Jlaramee 21:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. There hasnt been an edir for a week or so. In the Cantabria translation I ended doing great part of it, so I thought I could take CNT more lightly. I havent done many SPATRAs, so I dont know if this is normal or is it that people dont like the article (although it cant be more boring than Civil Code of Argentina...)--Wafry 22:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jarama

Hi. You marked the Jarama article as contradictory, but I don't understand what you mean exactly. I see the article is not a very good one, as it talks more about the bloodsheds near the river than about the river per se, but I don't see the contradiction. Maybe you could explain a bit more, and I could see if I can get it fixed. Thank you. Wafry (talk) 15:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for querying this. My concern is about the following sentences: "... often been claimed responsible for the massacre [1], although some historians [...] claim". It is unclear what is the common understanding and it seems that a link on an opinion website is given the same weight as reputable historians.

Missing encyclopedic articles/es

Hi, I see you've removed a large number of interwiki-linked communes as done, but as far as I could see they weren't. Abrest, for example, has no article yet. Regards, — BillC talk 23:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SPATRA

Hi Wafry,

You seem like someone who has both been a long-time and active member of SPATRA, so I was wondering: Is SPATRA, for all intents and purposes, dead? There are few nominations, no new votes, and translations of the week tend to become translations of the months. I was just wondering, b/c SPATRA is something I'm really interested in and it was quite disappointing to see so little activity in the whole translation dept. in general.

Thanks --Malachirality (talk) 06:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Malachirality, I wouldn't say I'm a veteran in SPATRA, but it is true that i've collaborated in the most recent translations. I can't really help you much. It is true what you say that there is very little collaboration in the project, even so that I don't know if there are any moderators, leaders or something like that, but as nobody took charge to nominate articles and all those things, i've been doing it lately. I think some people still want to help, because when I promoted Mixtecan languages, I posted it on the user pages of the people who did suppport the nomination and the article was translated in 4-5 days (although thanks to only 2 people, mostly). I don't know, maybe you could write in the Spatra walk page and ask. I will try to collaborate as long as I am not the only one and see if it gets better.
You can also check these pages which have similar projects, although probably with the same or fewer collaborators:

--Wafry (talk) 14:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm, that's a little disappointing. Any ideas on increasing membership/reorganizing/salvaging the project? Or do you think the purpose and importance of foreign language wiki translation has run its course? --Malachirality (talk) 06:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not an expert in Wikipedia project, maybe we could ask for moderator (or whatever they are called) help. Also, looking at the Wikipedia:French Collaboration Project, we could get some ideas. The French project seems to go fine. The first oughta be done, i think is merging all the different ES->EN Translation pages there are, to focus people.--Wafry (talk) 17:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joaquín Torres García/Translation

!Holá Warfry!

?Será que tu no puedes hacer una tradución del artículo antes hacer una publicación? Digo isto porque el artículo pudede ser eliminado, mas tente hacer su tradución, ?OK? (!no se esqueças del artículo!).

--Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko (talk) 01:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is part of The Spanish Translation of the "Week". You can read it at the heading, although now it is a bit more difficult to spot thanks to the expert tag. The actual article is here: Joaquín Torres García. Once the new one has been translated, they will be merged.--Wafry (talk) 01:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't known this, and I thought which the article was bringed to Wikipedia whitout a translation; If is a part of a project is Okay for me; I only thought which the article wasn't tranlated. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko (talk) 02:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CNT

Hey, so this line: "At the beginning of July, the Aragonese organizations of the Popular Front publicly declared their support for the alternative council in Aragon, led by their president, Francisco Ascaso." really confuses me. It seems to be an OK translation, but Ascaso was killed in the first week of the war, so couldn't very have been president of this organization. Do you know whats up with this? ¡Salud! Murderbike (talk) 06:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've investigated a bit and it seems it was his cousin es:Joaquín Ascaso who was still alive by then and who led the Aragonese Council.--Wafry (talk) 17:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, I had posted the question on the Spanish version of the article too, I'll change it there if it hasn't been done yet. Murderbike (talk) 20:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I just translated the article for the modern Solidaridad Obrera union in my sandbox, would you want to check out my translation, and let me know how good or bad I did? Murderbike (talk) 22:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is pretty good in general, although I have some comments. I'm going to correct it into your sandbox. You can undo it later if you want.--Wafry (talk) 23:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Disambiguating" pylon references

Hey. I appreciate that you were just trying to help, but there really is nothing wrong with leaving links pointing to a disambiguation page if an appropriate page doesn't exist. Pointing readers to a non-existent page or a page that doesn't cover the subject of the link is actually extremely unhelpful and disruptive. You have pointed quite a few pages to the mythical aircraft pylon page, and made a whole heap of other pylon links point to pages that don't cover the topic referred to. An electricity pylon is a structure that supports electricity wires, not just a term for any old metal lattice tower. The pylon page actually explains that in many cases the term simply refers to an elongated support structure, so for many links this is absolutely sufficient to clarify the term for a reader and you don't need a specific page link. Please try to make sure that any edits you make in future actually improve clarity for the reader and don't serve to confuse them. Pyrope 19:18, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I ran out of time to go back through and fix up the links. Could you please take this upon yourself? Bridge pylons are better linked to abutment; radio pylons linked to radio masts and towers; pylons for support of infrastructure and communications lines link to lattice tower; and other towers should be decided on according to the context within which they exist and their design. Linking pages to a non-existent page is still deeply suspect if done in the name of "disambiguation". Of course, you could always write a short page discussing the use of pylons in aeronautical engineering. That might be the simplest way to fix the problem of all the aircraft pylon redlinks you created. Pyrope 20:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Joaquín Torres García/Translation

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Joaquín Torres García/Translation. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Joaquín Torres García. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Joaquín Torres García - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MisterWiki talk contribs 15:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:12, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SPATRA reactivation

Hello Wafry, I notice that you were involved in the project Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week a few years ago. However I also notice that here has been very little activity since 2007. This is a project I'm particularly interested in and would love to see it revived. I've taken the bold step of identifying an article requiring translation and I'm in the process of inviting collaboration. The article History of Puerta del Sol could really use your help. In addition, I'd welcome any ideas you may have to help revive this project so that there is greater collaboration among ES>EN translators on en.Wikipedia. I'm identifying various contributors from whom the SPATRA project may benefit. If you have any recommendations then feel free to contact them directly or submit there usernames to me via my talkpage. I look forward to your participation. Gratefully - EagerToddler39 (talk) 02:05, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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)[reply]
