Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 23:22, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Re: translating Philebus
[edit]I understand you were trying to help out there translating the article from German, and I don't want to necessarily discourage you in the future, but in addition to copy-editing more in the future, you might want to take a look at the essay on Translating German Wikipedia before translating anything else from there so you're aware of the pitfalls.
As someone who's translated several philosophy articles from German wikipedia, I think it's still a valuable resource and often has much more thorough coverage than we do, but in addition to copy-editing there's a fair amount of verification of sources that needs to be done because German wikipedia has much more lax standards for verification than we do here, e.g. a lot of what appear to be cited sources are actually just suggestions for further reading. Usually I find it helps to make a copy of the article in your sandbox or a notepad file; it's less work than starting from scratch by far, but typically I'd say even with access to the cited sources and knowledge of the background material, it's still about 10-20 hours worth of work after machine translation to get an article "ready" for enwiki, and at that point it's still pretty far from something like GA even if it was a featured article over there. Still often worth it in my opinion, but not quite the easy win it might seem to be at first! Psychastes (talk) 05:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- OK, thank you for the advice! Most of my translations have been from Portuguese Wikipedia, with varying success. Sometimes something was removed, so I went back to Portuguese Wikipedia and requested for the original to be removed too. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 11:12, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
I have sent you a note about a page you started
[edit]Hi Thiagovscoelho. Thank you for your work on Sentence letter. Another editor, Voorts, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Please remember to tag redirects that you create per WP:REDCAT. I would also recommend adding a mention of "sentence letter" and a citation to the article Propositional variable.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Voorts}}
. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
