Create English language page from German - request

[edit]

Hello, An English language page does not appear to exist for this short, German Wikipedia article on the late American jazz bassist Kelly Roberty. I am not really equipped to create such an article - are you interested/willing to create this, or to direct the request to someone who might care to take it on? Thank-you.

@MVteacher: You'll find that most Wikipedia volunteers have a long list of things they are working on, and don't take requests. But you can always ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jazz. Or just be bold, and make a start at Draft:Kelly Roberty! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthwing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:44, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What I have found is that most Wikipedia volunteers tend to refuse all help requests. MvT (talk) 17:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've given you two helpful replies, one here and an earlier one at the Teahouse. But I'm not here - none of us are - to do the work for you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
