Thank you for your recent articles, including Stanisław Ostwind-Zuzga, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:19, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your recent articles, including Stanisław Ostwind-Zuzga, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:19, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have several articles that could be translated into English wikipedia. In my (small, but sufficient) experience I see that 70% work related to translation is to work out hyperlinks and bibliography. This work seems moreover extremely well-suited for some sort of script. For exmaple if I have a link in Polish wikipedia say to a "bazalt" then I have to click it, see it suggests en.wikipedia.org basalts and then link in the translated content to the basalt. This is something that a script should do - often there are tens of links in good-quality articles. And verifying links is much less work than actually manually translating.
The same could be said abound citations: Polish and English wikipedia use different syntax for references, but it is similar enough that some sort of automatic translation should be possible. Are tools like that available. I am looking for two tools in the end:
- automatic translation of links from one wikipedia to other wikipedia
- automatic translation of ref commands.
- This is really a conversation to be having somewhere like the Village pump. It will give you much more feedback and ideas than just a {{help me}} on your talk page. Primefac (talk) 15:16, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I just saw the note at Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab)/Archive 22#Simplyfying translations. You may want to go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and try out the mw:Content Translation tool. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:35, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
