Translated copyvio is still copyvio. My opinion: this isn't close enough to justify nomination for speedy deletion as G12; it's complicated, so your best bet is to blank it and list it at
WP:CP (add {{subst:copyvio|url=source(s)}}

Some user boxes accept |nocat=true

to avoid
Category:Wikipedians interested in sharks. If you post links to user boxes which add an unwanted category and does not currently accept nocat then somebody can probably adapt the userbox to accept it. Often it only requires the line | nocat = {{{nocat|}}}

There is one difference - I have enabled a gadget called "Syntax highlighter" in my preferences. It colours tags in pink, templates in yellow, comments in green, links in blue, etc., and I find it makes finding these things embedded in the text much easier. However, a <br> is interpreted as an open tag, and leaves everything coloured pink for the rest of the article. This is annoying, so when I am editing an article I usually remove any unnecessary ones and change the ones in the infoboxes to <br />. —Anne Delong (talk) 22:33, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
to link to another language Wikipedia's article just type inside of doubled brackets a colon, followed by a language code (in this case "es" for Spanish) and another colon followed by the name of the article at that Wikipedia. So for example, if you wanted to link to the Spanish Wikipedia article on the slow loris, you'd type es:Nycticebus, which would format as es:Nycticebus. If you wanted to link there but have it display without the langugae code, you'd use a pipe between the link name and the display name: Nycticebus, which would display as Nycticebus.
I have noticed that the things at the bottom of an article i.e. sources marked with <ref></ref> can be called many things: References, Notes, Citations etc. Are there some specific guidelines when to use what or is the "naming" decided on a case to case basis? - W.carter ( talk) 11:02, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
In Sweden more and more data base material is becoming available online. Most of the material is just books or paper document that have been scanned or digitalized, so the actual book does exist. Example: Dictionary of Swedish National Biography. It is great for research but it poses a problem: When using these as references should I use {{cite web}} or {{cite book}}? At most of these data bases there are two sets of facts to use when referring to the article in question, the “paper one” is suggested if you want a very correct ref that does not change if the website changes, but if you want others to have easy access to the same information the “web one” is recommended. Example: Article about John Bauer (at the bottom of the page). Or is there by now a {{cite data base}}? - W.carter ( talk) 21:53, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
{{
cite book}}
, even if it is online. You should provide the other information for the book, not the database, so that others could find a paper copy if they wanted. (By the way, it's better to use {{
cite encyclopedia}}
for dictionaries.) User:Anon126 22:01, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed on your userpage you mentioned that you wished it to be more common for translations from Swedish to be improved by native English speakers.
Possibly WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests might be useful for this. --User:Demiurge1000 20:45, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
No tights or cape, just a magic WikiwandTM :) As long as Jolin's pictures are not uploaded to Commons they can be claimed under English Wikipedia's "Fair Use" criteria. See this Picasso painting as an example. If you find know of suitable images online, please post the appropriate links on my talk page —I know I could do the search myself, but you created the article so it's your call. Once I have image targets I will sort out the required graphic and licensing issues and upload them. User:Philg88 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there, I've made a few initial changes to the article, and some further comments below.
I'll leave you to do some polishing based on my copyediitng and the points above. Please leave me a message on my talk page when you would like me to take another look. Best, User:Philg88 3 May 2014 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind that I edited your sandbox article, just this once. By the way, if you think there might be an English Wikipedia article Konstnärsförbundets skola some day, you can use ill template, {{ill}}, like this: {{ill|Konstnärsförbundets skola|sv}}, which results in: Konstnärsförbundets skola. The sv link will automatically stop displaying when the English article is created. —User:Anomalocaris 20:38, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
