Czech detention and court custody[edit]

Hello Charles, how are you doing? Long time since we were in wikicontact... my university years are behind so I've started working and I don't really have much time for anything, including wiki now. Nevertheless, I made a few edits recently.

I would like to kindly ask you to review my Czenglish in Police detention in the Czech Republic, Remand in the Czech Republic and Bail in the Czech Republic. In case you would not have time or will for that, please let me know, I will try to ask someone else.

Thank you in advance! Cimmerian praetor (talk) 11:37, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Well, I took a look at the first one and decided the intro para was confusing pretrial detention with pretrial release on bail. To my mind those two are opposites. Bail is interesting, but surely it deserves only a passing mention in an entry on detention. On the other hand, the law (like the politics) in the UK and US is much more polarised than in mainland western Europe. Maybe in middle Europe you somehow see the difference between the two concepts as more nuanced. Feel free - as ever - to correct what I did here.

I hope the working life is satisfying. The more you can get to do work that you enjoy the better, and as a (hopelessly optimistic) generalisation, the better your edcation, the better your chances of getting a job that is fun. Well, usually... Best Charles01 (talk) 19:42, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I actually worked only on the parts concerning the Czech Republic. I was contributing to Randy Blythe's Manslaughter Charges recently and following the coverage of the case, and the nonsense that may be found on the criminal proceedings in US media was simply too much to bear, so I felt obliged to contribute this to wiki so that anyone interested who can't read the Czech criminal code in Czech language may have a chance to get a grip of the issue.

Yes, I enjoy my work very much... apart from the working hours which average 12-13 a day. But that is the only way to learn how to practice the law in a leading lawfirm :/ I've moved to Prague so should you ever be on trip here, do not hesitate to let me know... if lucky, I might have a free weekend to meet with you and take you around. Thanks once more for taking a look at my contributions to those articlesCimmerian praetor (talk) 20:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's pretty understandable the way you have it. But I made a few changes to make it look a bit more like the sort of thing an English text book might write. Trouble is, that risks introducing anglo-saxon concepts which don't belong in Czechia. If you find places where I did that, probably it makes sense to reverse my changes. Incidently, there was one line I wasn't sure I understood. I rewrote it anyway, but it may now be wrong. That's the bit that runs:

An exception to the time limits above arises in cases of remand due to concern of interfering with witnesses or other frustration of proceedings, in which case the paximum pre-trial detention period may be increased by three months, except where the charged person has already been influencing witnesses or otherwise frustrating the proceedings

It is actually other way around. The time limit is not increased, it is simply 3 months maximum, only in case that the custody is not due to concern, but due to the fact that the influencing of witness (etc) already happened, the standard 1-2-3-4 lengths apply.

Is you work concentrating on civil law or criminal law? Or are you still new enough to the firm not to have decided? When I was at university, the most ambitious law students tended to go off to London to specialise in commercial law when they left uni, I guess because it was reckoned to be better paid. Lots of obscure contracts for goods and services which you'd never have thought existed or needed to exist until you found that they did. That sort of thing is particluarly important in London with it's long-standing commercial traditions. Though I sometimes wonder if the slightly less ambitious ones who went to work in small towns on less specialist matters may have ended up more happy. If less rich. But each one must make for him (or her) self his (or her) own decisions and his (or her) own progress.

Yes, I do mostly civil/commercial law. Here in the Czech Republic there are too many law graduates, which leads to the fact that the only at least a bit decently paid jobs are to be found only by large lawfirms in Prague I can imagine settling down in a smaller town elsewhere (or in other country), but for now it is all about gaining as much experience as I can.

Disambiguation link notification for September 29[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited PSA Trnava Plant, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Škoda and Kia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

C3 Picasso[edit]

Hi Charles, can i see the source you mentioned so i can access which is more reliable for the date? November and December are close but i'd rather have the correct date. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 16:32, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. Try this:

http://automotive.tuwien.ac.at/news/news_details/article/6881/10575/

If the link doesn't work let me know. Somehow making links work still hasn't made it to the list of things I reckon I can do relatively well. But we try and remember how the Panglossian mantra runs, and live in hope. Regards Charles01 (talk) 16:58, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Since November 2011 PSA Peugeot Citroën factory in Trnava is producing Peugeot 208".

Is this the section Charles? I think you may have misread it the first time as it doesn't mention the date of the first C3 Picasso assembly and to be honest it appears to be a translated article and not done too well. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 17:29, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is indeed the line that captured my eye, and I agree that whoever translated it into English does not have English as his/her mother tongue. For you to judge how authoritative it appears when compared to other sources you've looked at. Success Charles01 (talk) 17:45, 29 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Well, how it's wrote now it's not about the C3 Picasso there so i don't intend to change what i have. I've used maybe 300 references for that article and most are in it somewhere and i'm happy with the accuracy of the dates too. Thanks for pointing this out to me but i can't use it how it is. Thanks again Charles ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 18:20, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
