  • 16:25 16:25, 14 July 2022 diff hist +36 m MadhyamakaRestored some missing diacritical marks -- more should be checked and corrected! -- and removed inconsistency in the article's use of Sanskrit "sutra" vs. Pali "sutra". The Pali text titles may use "sutra," but the article is written in English and should use one English word throughout. "Sutra" is the most widely used form in English.

  • 15:46 15:46, 14 July 2022 diff hist +491 MadhyamakaDeleted bracketed interpolations in a block quotation that made the quotation much harder to understand, in part by referring to a doctrine of "links" that the article had not yet explained but seemed to be taking for granted. The interpolated brackets had also sharply (and in my view not just unnecessarily but also incorrectly) narrowed Nâgârjuna's meaning. After this, clarity also required adding in a few explanatory phrases to follow and elucidate the quotation more helpfully. Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit Advanced mobile edit

Also, I added the publication dates to Judith Gautier's volume (source was https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Gautier), Tag: Visual edit
  • 19:52 19:52, 18 February 2021 diff hist +12 m Das Lied von der Erde →‎History: Just incorporating into the summary, for accuracy, the fact that the poems are multiply removed from Chinese -- Bethge freely adapted Heilmann's German version, but Heilmann knew no Chinese and merely translated from the French of two other writers, one of whom (Gautier) had herself taken many liberties and made many errors. See doi:10.2307/746721 (and my other proposed edits to this page).
  • 19:33 19:33, 18 February 2021 diff hist −1 m Das Lied von der ErdeFixing punctuation minutiae on the edit I proposed a minute ago.
  • 19:28 19:28, 18 February 2021 diff hist +17 Das Lied von der ErdeThere was a mistranslation from the German page & a misspelling. I also filled in more information from a peer-reviewed source (but I don't know how to insert references). The source is: Hamao, Fusako. "The Sources of the Texts in Mahler's "Lied Von Der Erde"." 19th-Century Music 19, no. 1 (1995). Cf. [de]: "Bethge hatte ... Heilmanns deutsche Übersetzungen der französischen Übersetzungen ... frei nachgedichtet" means "Bethge had freely adapted Heilmann's German translations of French versions."
  • 18:18 18:18, 18 February 2021 diff hist +10 m Hans Bethge (poet)Corrected a mistranslation (from the German Wikipedia entry): "Der Bildhauer Wilhelm Lehmbruck, dessen Genie Bethge früh erkannte, hat ihn mehrfach porträtiert" means that Bethge recognied Lehmbruck's genius, not the reverse. The correction also removes the false impression that the English entry is tainted by advocacy, praising Bethge as a "genius".

  • 07:57 07:57, 4 August 2020 diff hist +1,687 Standard GermanThis article is still a mess, a mix of accurate facts and uninformed opinions, as also of good clear writing and other passages that look to me to be the work of a decidedly inexperienced writer. I don't have time to provide all the references for the bits I rewrote, but the related wiki articles are generally accurate and should be consulted carefully by anyone working on this entry henceforth.
  • 05:39 05:39, 4 August 2020 diff hist +8,901 Talk:Standard GermanThis entry suffers from a lack of attention by qualified linguists, with too much armchair reasoning that misleads or is simply wrong. I just added a lengthy rejoinder to the most obvious error, namely the implication that standard German originates from Northern German dialects.
