New SPATRAs

[edit]

I have lots of potential candidates on my user page, but I don't want to clog up the main page and detract from everyone else's nominations. Any thoughts on which I should nominate? Estrellador* 19:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Template on Article or Talk page?

[edit]

Oleg Alexandrov has raised the issue on Wikipedia talk:Collaborations of whether the template for the current winner of a collaboration should go on the article or the talk page. You might be interested in taking part. Pruneau 00:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

/Translation subpages

[edit]

The current SPATRA Mesoamerica is being translated at Mesoamerica/Translation. This isn't the first SPATRA to be done this way, and it's working well now as it has in the past. I'm wondering if we should make this standard procedure for all SPATRAs that have an exisitng article, even if it's stubby, because several people don't like having a sloppy work-in-progress in the main namespace. If so, I'll write an appropriate line or two into the SPATRA process instructions. What do ya'll think? - Draeco 03:23, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable to me. In fact, why not make subpages standard procedure for all SPATRAs? Then only the finished product appears in the main namespace, free of any work-in-progress messiness. -- bcasterlinetalk 04:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Time for another

[edit]

I believe Mesoamerica is complete. - Jmabel | Talk 00:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some copyedits still need to be done, but I think that will fall to the few who are working on that right now. I'm with you, it's time to move on, I'm going to promote the LAPA flight 3142 article. - Draeco 18:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, I'm going to start that article as /Translation, which is something we haven't done before when there is no pre-existing article. - Draeco 18:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job

[edit]

Kudos to the SPATRA team and all who helped out at Mesoamerica- a very nice job indeed, will make updating and revision of that article a much easier task. Thanks.--cjllw | TALK 00:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History of Chile

[edit]

Hello. If someone is interrested in Latin America history, he can translate es:historia de Chile which is a featured article on es:.--Youssef 06:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference from {{SPATRAref}}? As far as I see, it only includes one more link to SPATRA, which is discouraged by WP:ASR... Titoxd(?!?) 06:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I created the new SPATRAcite template because I thought the SPATRA link would be beneficial. You make a valid point about WP:ASR, but it's not "one more" link but rather the only link to SPATRA in the articles. I thought the self-reference was valuable because it lets readers easily identify the hands behind the translation and gives them a link to follow to pose questions/challenges/suggestions. I didn't modify the existing {{SPATRAref}} because it has been used on several pages that weren't SPATRA's. Perhaps another option would be to put a banner at the top of Talk pages - Draeco 04:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merglations

[edit]

I've noticed several suggestions to translate articles that are already fairly extensive in the merge-to language (namely English). Examples are the Joaquín Torres García nomination and the History of Chile suggestion above, among others. In my experience these translations become difficult translation/merge tangles. However, I seem to be the only one who ever objects. Does anyone else share my sentiments, or am I just paranoid? - Draeco 04:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they are tougher, but the results have generally been good. - Jmabel | Talk 22:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Next COTW

[edit]

Speaking of merglations, our current SPATRA is nearing completion so nos toca to select a new article. Both Joaquín Torres García and Rafael Maroto have three votes. The page says the first chronological nomination gets the nod, but Joaquín has languished on the nomination list for three months now. Which will it be? - Draeco 23:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Problem solved; Rafa got a fourth vote several days ago. I'm promoting it to the new SPATRA. - Draeco 01:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How to?

[edit]

Hi folks

What is the etiquette of translating the article? Do you overwrite the bit you translate, or add the English and leave the original Spanish in there for others to check?

MyNameIsClare talk 14:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are confident (and have some basis for that confidence!), then just overwrite. If you think it needs review, then leave the Spanish commented out as an HTML comment (<-- Like this -->). - Jmabel | Talk 02:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks MyNameIsClare talk 22:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Biography

[edit]

Let us know if you happen to pick an article on a person and we'll alert our members! plange 05:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New template!

[edit]

Hello, in an attempt to help collaborate across COTW projects, I'm making a template that displays the current picks of each. I've made a template for you to be able to add the name of the current article {{SPATRA article}}, which you can also use to transclude in your other templates so you don't have to update those manually. You'd only need to update this new one to populate the others on rollover. The new template that will display your current pick is {{COTWCurrentPicks}}. plange 03:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My list

[edit]

I thought you might like to know I have improved my list of potential SPATRAs and moved them to User:Estrellador*/SPATRA. They were all featured articles in Spanish last time I looked, and all deal with local topics, as is my preference. I may have missed a few under these criteria; if so feel free to add them to the page. Feel free also to make it easier to navigate, if you have some spare time on your hands :).--Estrellador* 11:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maroto

[edit]

We could really use some help at Rafael Maroto/Translation. I was doing other things for a few days, and literally no one did anything in my absence. - Jmabel | Talk 22:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How long has this been translation of the week? Two months? Can we get a new one or does it stay up until the translation's finished? I tried to help but am not interested in the topic. Maybe others feel the same way. Lagringa 00:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, we've kept them up until they are finished. This particular one is truly a toughie. Sorry if this one doesn't interest you. Maybe we could do two at once? Because I'd really hate to see this left 60-70% accomplished and there is still a lot of need for help. I'm a pretty competent translator, but this one has been quite a challenge. - Jmabel | Talk 06:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm new to the SPATRA project... I'd like to help, but since this is my first contact with it, I'm not sure where to start. Should I wait until the next article is selected, or is there anything I can do with this article? What is still left to do here? ----Steve 13:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maroto is basically done (although there are about a dozen cleanup issues still listed on its talk page if anyone wants to be helpful, and it could still use a lot of citation. - Jmabel | Talk 19:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Time for another

[edit]

Will someone please "promote" an article for us to work on? - Jmabel | Talk 19:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been asked for help with Cúcuta. See my talk page. I think it is a good candidate. Regards, Asteriontalk 20:26, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I second Jmabel's request for a timely promotion of another SPATRA. There are so many articles worthy of this effort; let us give them their time! -Fsotrain09 21:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That time, we did Threshing-board, and I'm really happy with the result. What's next? - Jmabel | Talk 19:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am about to become rather inactive in Wikipedia, so someone else will need to move this forward. - Jmabel | Talk 19:18, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have prepared the new SPATRA, Civil Code of Argentina, which was approved with 5 votes. --Fsotrain09 00:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forests of the Iberian Peninsula

[edit]

The Spanish Wikipedia article es:Bosques de la Península Ibérica was copied, untranslated, into the main namespace. Since it is a SPATRAnom, I thought I'd request translation assistance here. I'm not suggesting that we disgard the current vote counts and make this the SPATRA, just that the dedicated translators here kindly take a look and assist if they can. My own translation skills aren't sufficient for the subject matter. Thank you! -Fsotrain09 22:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Álvaro Torres translated

[edit]

Hello all, I just translated the article of Álvaro Torres from Wikipedia en español. I also added some more info. But this article still needs a lot of work and more info. So, if anyone wants to help, please reasearch some more info and add it. Charleenmerced 02:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced[reply]

Cantabria translated - next SPATRA ?

[edit]

Hi. I think Cantabria is now completely translated. I think we should promote the next article. Nevertheless I invite all of you to read the article because it may need some copyediting. --Wafry 15:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. this evening i'm planning on promoting the next SPATRA, which will be Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, as it has 5 votes and it's older than Mixtecan Lang. --Wafry 12:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confederación Nacional del Trabajo translated

[edit]

Confederación Nacional del Trabajo/Translation is now completely translated. It may need some copyediting, but I think it's safe to promote the next SPATRA. Could someone do the honor?--Wafry 22:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mérida, Mérida translated

[edit]

Mérida, Mérida/Translation seems completely translated now. Some of the notes and externals links might need to be removed, as they are all in Spanish. However, aside from some copyediting and minor clean-ups, I think the article is pretty much done. Can we promote the next SPATRA? On a related note, is SPATRA still alive? --Malachirality 00:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Participant userbox

[edit]

If anyone feels like it would make their day to create one, it would be cool to have a userbox for people who take part in the project. Many thanks, Drum guy (talk) 20:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mean {{User SPATRA}}? Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 03:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inverse

[edit]

How about translating from english INTO spanish. You know... like because english wikipedia has the most number of articles of all wikipedias!! - Damërung ...ÏìíÏ..._ΞΞΞ_ . --

, 5 December 2024 (UTC-5)

That would be a project corresponding to the Spanish Wikipedia. Yo can help here. --Wafry (talk) 11:36, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know, but that project is only to translate featured articles (complete them mostly), and even if not, I still think we should do some kind of task or project or something to translate articles into other languages (sometimes a project that exist here is missing in other language). - Damërung ...ÏìíÏ..._ΞΞΞ_ . -- , 5 December 2024 (UTC-5)

The Spanish article on this topic has much more information and lots of references. Can anyone translate the information and put it in the English article Travesti? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:14, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A new newsletter directory is out!

[edit]

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
