Translation question[edit]
I'm working on Czech railway topics and encountered cz:České Budějovice jižní zastávka. This is a minor railway halt in České Budějovice. The literal translation of this name would be České Budějovice south stop or České Budějovice south station. My question is this: is "jižní zastávka" a proper name/proper noun, or is this more of a descriptive name. Should I render this in English as České Budějovice south railway station (following naming conventions for stations). Thank you in advance for any insight.

- Definitely do not translate, see e.g. Praha hlavní nádraží, Praha Masarykovo nádraží. Btw. I'm surprised that there would be enough reliable sources for a separate page for a stop where there isn't even a building, just a shelter. Other wikipedias only cite the database of stops.

Petr Fiala (senator) for creation?[edit]
First, I would like to start I am new to this WikiProject. I came across some Czech election pages mentioning a senator named Petr Fiala. I am planning to create his article by translating the page cs:Petr Fiala (senátor), but does he pass WP:NPOL and WP:GNG of English Wikipedia? From what I can read on the corresponding Czech article, the secondary sources contain brief mentions and routine coverage. My Google searches mostly come up and mix him with the Prime Minister, so I would like to verify the existence of this senator. CuteDolphin712 (talk) 12:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Any parliamentarian from a sovereign nation is definitely notable, including a Czech senator :) Jdcooper (talk) 13:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I understand. Thank you. I will start working on it as soon as I found more WP:SIGCOV. CuteDolphin712 (talk) 09:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I would be happy to have help on this film set designer, author, and illustrator (paper engineer?). His work is wonderful and his story is interesting. Thanks! FloridaArmy (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi I've been looking at very old unsourced pages and came across Jakub Bursa. I see there are references on other languages wikis, so I was hoping that someone here could help with adding some refs, please? Thanks JMWt (talk) 14:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi JMWt, I added a reference and included a book about him in a new bibliography section. C679 15:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Translation question -[edit]
The Czech langauge article on the Aero A.14 (cs:Aero A-14) - contains the text "A-15.12 byl jako první v historii našeho letectví v roce 1926 nasazený na Opavsku k rozprašování přípravku na hubení mnišky." (similar text is in a 1986 article in Letectví a Kosmonautika magazine which appears to have been used as a source). According to Google translate this means "In 1926, the A-15.12 was the first in the history of our aviation to be deployed in the Opava region to spray a product to kill nuns". What does "mnišky" actually mean in this context?Nigel Ish (talk) 12:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- The sentence speaks about aerial application against caterpillars of black arches (also known as nun moth) = bekyně mniška in Czech. FromCzech (talk) 12:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
