User Info

Hello! I'm Marc, and I've decided to put my unstoppable talent for spotting spelling and grammar problems to good use. I also thought I should contribute something new, having some knowledge of: Biology; Chemistry; Computing; Photography; and Countless items of random trivia that my brain seems to spend most of its time collecting. I hope that I can add useful information to a resource that's frequently been of benefit to me, even if it's limited to translating the work of others, or adding coordinates to anything that moves doesn't move. Ja ne. Wikipedia:Translation /Translations: articles I've translated or proofread, or I'm currently translating/proofreading. German to English Wikipedia:Translation/*/Lang/de: all German to English translations, plus Translation Request form. Category:Translation Request/de: requested translations. Category:Translation In Progress/de: articles undergoing translation. Category:Proofreaders Needed/de: translated articles needing proofreaders. Category:Completed Translation/de: completed translations. Wikipedia:Translation/*/Featured Articles/German: featured articles that could be translated. Creations I'm more of a fixer than a creator here, but I have added some new pages, listed below for simplified tracking: Articles Bremen City Hall: a translation from the German Wikipedia's Bremer Rathaus. Bremen Roland: another, related translation; technically, still in progress. José de Guimarães: a Portuguese artist who made tiles for the Berlin U-Bahn. Jacobsthal number: completing the named Lucas sequence articles. Ernst Jacobsthal: the mathematician who gave his name to the Jacobsthal numbers. Redirects Pontycymmer → Pontycymer: an alternative spelling that I personally don't use. Innsbrucker Platz (Berlin U-Bahn) → Innsbrucker Platz: more of a placeholder in case the target article becomes solely about the square, but also for consistency with other U-Bahn station articles, which generally end " (Berlin U-Bahn)". Rathaus Spandau (Berlin U-Bahn) → Rathaus Spandau: similar reason to the above. Jacobsthal numbers → Jacobsthal number: plural form is perhaps just as likely in a search. Templates Proofreader needed: a template to draw attention to the need for proofreading an article. Berlin U-Bahn lines: a template to add to the bottom of Berlin U-Bahn line articles (such as U9 (Berlin U-Bahn)) with links to the other lines. Adverts Wikipedia:Translation wiki-ad: currently displayed at the top of this page. Milestones Killer Instinct: first accountable edit - a typo fix and minor copy edit. Saint Thomas Church (Strasbourg): the first translation for Wikipedia - from Thomaskirche (Straßburg). Henry's law versus Raoult's law: first new information added - clarification and expansion of existing section. Bremen City Hall: the first page I brought into existence - another translation, from de:Bremer Rathaus. Template:Proofreader needed: the first template I thought could be useful; used to potentially recruit proofreaders. Sandbox links Sandbox 1: Main article under construction (Berlin U-Bahn). Sandbox 2: Second article / experiment (part 1 of expt. re. service). Sandbox 3: Experiment extension (part 2 of expt. re. service).
