Notability of Hans Schauder
Please copy your post from my talk page to the article talk page, where other editors interested in this article are more likely to see it. Also, please take time to read through Misplaced Pages:Notability (people) policy. What the article needs is more proof of independent notability; few mentions in local media and by organizations one is involved in are not the best sources. Has he been a subject of mainstream media non-trivial coverage, of academic research, of books; did he gain fame by received major awards, doing highly cited research, etc.? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:02, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
Regarding Else Klink
Hi 3rdWorldkid, it's nice to know that you translated this article from the German. I was wondering how such a full article appeared all at once. I am curious if she is mentioned in English sources; it's not strictly necessary but for German sources it can be hard for English speakers to evaluate whether the notability (based on importance shown in the sources) is adequate. I haven't heard of her before but I'm not in the Eurythmy world. If you do find sources in English, they will help bolster the German version too. --Karinpower (talk) 21:45, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
- If she is notable, there should be books that mention her. I sometimes just plug a name into Amazon to see what books come up, and use the search-in-book function to try to read what it says (though it's not always available). Then for the citation I find the googlebooks url and cite that. Here's a search: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=else+klink. I'm not going to delve through these to see if any are useful but perhaps you might find them helpful. And I'm leaving the assessment of notability to other editors; I just flagged it as a question to be addressed. --Karinpower (talk) 08:28, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- You are welcome! Glad you found that helpful. I would say the next step would be to do some thoughtful editing.... In my opinion this article includes far too much biographical detail. This isn't meant to be a complete biography; other people probably only need to be mentioned if relevant to her contribution to Eurythmy, for instance. I don't know enough about the history to evaluate all of that. Perhaps you or someone else who is knowledgeable will be able to trim out the extraneous. I will do a quick edit and pull out some obvious bits to show you what I mean. If you like my edits you might consider reflecting them in the German article. The goal is to make the text relevant and clear for the reader, getting to the important bits succinctly and then providing the references so they can read articles and books for all the additional details if they like. --Karinpower (talk) 22:11, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- PS. Let's move this discussion to the talk page of the article. Then, if others are interested, they can follow it and chime in. --Karinpower (talk) 22:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
3world Kid (talk) 22:43, 29 November 2014 (UTC) Sure, I think that's a good idea. I shall look over the article again. You are quite right. I translated an article whose language and clarity I was not really happy with and did not look so much at the language as the content. Thanks again for all your help and support.
Welcome!

Associação Comunitária Monte Azul - possible translation?
Hello 3rdWorldkid, thank you for creating that very interesting article. It seems, like parts of it or the whole article are translated from the German Misplaced Pages. If that's the case, no problem - translations are a great addition to other language Wikipedias. However, you should "attribute" the original article per Misplaced Pages's Creative Commons license and Terms of Use. You can use Template:Translated page for this attribution: 1) create a talkpage for the article, if none exists yet 2) Insert the template (with correct language code and article name of the original Wiki) somewhere on top of the talkpage. Additional usage information can be found in the linked template documentation. Please make sure to attribute all of your older articles as well, if you have re-used translated content in some of them. Misplaced Pages:Translation has more information about translating Misplaced Pages articles. Thanks again for your work on this - if you need any help with the template, feel free to ping me anytime.

Disambiguation link notification for December 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Associação Comunitária Monte Azul, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Brazilian and Paraná. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Slavery numbers
3rdworld, just to let you know, many countries have articles dedicated to human rights issues, usually title Human Rights in XXX (see Human rights in Brazil as as random example). Notes about the number of slaves currently in those countries would work better in those articles. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 20:07, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Your edits about slavery
Hallo, I reverted your edits about slavery in some countries. The problem with them is that the used source is considered unreliable, and previous edits using these figures have led to an ANI (you know it since you participated to the discussion) and to the block of users and their sockpuppets (see for example here). If you want to add figures about slavery, please use reliable sources, as an UN agency. Alex2006 (talk) 07:29, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
