Can you at least check if this is true? The point is that I was the one who put this translation-table into the article, copied from the Spanish Wiki. . Later I added references too, but in THOSE REFERENCES were a later addition. An IP was removing Samuil Marshak,s name a couple of times, saying this Russian translation of the poem was made by Dina Orlovskaya, not Samuil Marshak . Now you see, the original said Samuil Marshak, and a reference added later is directing to a link where the Russian translation indeed is made by Dina but not Samuil Marshak. Wonder id it is not a misreading of sources. Either way I would like to have the translation of Samuil, who is a notable person, much more that the other.

Hello, Sca -- Can you read and translate from Lithuanian? If not, do you know anyone who can? See the last part of the exchange at User talk:Vsmith#Proto-Indo-European Urheimat hypotheses. CorinneSD ( talk) 17:49, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
If you read the article curry ketchup, it already mentions the curry powder that is sprinkled on top of the spiced curry ketchup. That is why it doesn't need to be mentioned in the french fries article. Your edit also reverted ~the link to curry ketchup; which is strange because that was what is actually being mentioned in the article. - Takeaway ( talk) 15:59, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Sca - I saw the image of gold coins (or is it one gold coin, front and back; don't remember) at FP and decided to read the article Christina, Queen of Sweden. I've only gotten through a few sections so far, and I've made a few copy-edits. I came across a section that is not very well-written and is unclear, but since I don't know anything about the history, I don't know how to fix it. It's the second paragraph in the section Christina, Queen of Sweden#Swedish and Polish Vasa, particularly the second half of the paragraph. It's just not clear, and what "Commonwealth" is this referring to? I wonder if you can improve this paragraph. CorinneSD ( talk) 22:57, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
I was reading the article on Russia and in the history section I read "Rus", with a link that leads to the article Kievan Rus'. I know that Rus' is a transliteration of a Russian word, with a particular sound at the end of the word, but that apostrophe would mean nothing to the average reader of the English Wikipedia. Also, the word is written without the apostrophe in the article on Russia. I just don't understand why that apostrophe is there. CorinneSD ( talk) 01:52, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
In the section Kievan Rus'#Golden age, there is an image of a modern Ukrainian banknote. I'm wondering if the word "model" in the caption is really the right word, or whether it should be "image". What do you think? CorinneSD ( talk) 02:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, I am not sure if we got started off on the right track. Allow me to make an attempt to correct the wrong. I had put a lot of effort (almost two years) into this article. I even travelled to his home town in now Poland. This I did largely because part of my family comes from that area. I am convinced from what I saw and read, he was born a Hyacinth and died a Hyacinth. How the Hyazinth came about I can't answer, I can only speculate because my family also changed their name over time to make it sound more German, as my grandmother once told me. MisterBee1966 ( talk) 18:12, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Sca, why in the world is "winter" capitalized in the title of the article Russian Winter? It is not capitalized anywhere in the article except in the references, where (Reference #1) it looks like the name of a tour in a travel and tour company. I don't think it needs to be capitalized in the title. What do you think? CorinneSD ( talk) 03:11, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Sca, can you read Danish? If you can, could you find the original and see if it is translated correctly? Is it "mother" and "father" or "my mother" and "my father"? See [2]. CorinneSD ( talk) 03:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
I saw your edits and the images of the paintings of Władysław Ślewiński on Hafspajen's talk page, so I decided to read the article. I also like his style. I re-wrote the first section. Then I read the section on Philosophy. I wanted to ask your opinion about the writing in that section. It seems to me that it is too well written, particularly the second paragraph. I wonder if it was copied directly from a source. Is there any way you could check? CorinneSD ( talk) 15:37, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Sca -- I hope you're enjoying the summer. I've been copy-editing articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. It's fun because they're all different. I've just finished working on Elevenie. See WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests for the original request first. I wonder if you could check the translations. Also, visible only in Edit Mode are one or two notes to editors regarding the poems. I changed "unfurl" to "unfurling" because there was a note saying that it should be a noun (I'd rather write "an unfurling", but I think only one word is allowed there), but there are other notes that perhaps you can answer. Thanks. CorinneSD ( talk) 20:31, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

I have added more information to reason for nomination, kindly have a look, if the given information also not sufficient, please go ahead with oppose or otherwise I will withdraw my nomination if you suggest. The statue is very famous, a google search may give a better idea about the same. Apart from the given information, I have nothing to add or if you can help me to give reason in a better way that would be a great support and encouragement for me.

Hi Sca-
Later today/tonight I’m going to start incorporating this table (which will be about 85-90% complete) into German Papiermark. Once that is finished, an additional section will incorporate the Danzig Mark section of this table. Eventually the latter might get its own article (right now Danzig Mark is already redirected to the Papiermark article), but this seems like a good place to start/develop it. Despite any version of the "in use” template" I might temporarily use, you are welcome to jump in if you wish.-- Godot13 ( talk) 15:24, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
Rather fascinating. I would have never discovered if Godot wasn't nomination that Muchy-banknote. (Looks like he called himself Alphonse Muchy.) Hafspajen ( talk) 15:56, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
I understand false titles are a pet peeve of yours, but it's a very common construct in American journalism and the blurb's subject was American, so I was not going to change it, especially how there is no WP:MOS violation. I would be more sympathetic to the argument if it was a British topic instead. — howcheng { chat} 07:41, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
I was just reading the article on Sneek. I noticed the people are called "Snekers". The language of the article could use a little work, but I'm busy with other articles right now. I just have to ask you, though, if you know what the second sentence in Sneek#Places of interest is supposed to mean. Corinne ( talk) 00:40, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
No action required here. That's all decided, then. Martinevans123 ( talk) 21:52, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
