Following acceptance of a
proposal at WP:AN/CXT, we are now in an interim period where anyone may "vaccinate" articles in this list to prevent them from being removed. Details on how to this can can be found
here, but it's basically:
Article to save - articles with title in strikeout type will be kept
Article to remove - articles without strikeout type generally will be removed; you may add the word "kill" to the comment line to guarantee removal. (But User space items will not be removed regardless, and need not be struck.)
Cadenus_and_Vanessa -- Spanish es; Nothing wrong with the translation. DGG (

Elinruby (

Mathglot (
talk) 02:02, 29 April 2017 (UTC) I think it's important enough, and the translation is not all that bad--what it needs more is formatting, not rewriting. -- the translator did significant manual cleanup after the machine translation. Such articles where there is competent manual cleanup should not qualify for speedy deletion and should not be on this list. DGG (
talk ) 00:36, 4 May 2017 (UTC) It is important enough, but it's pure MT from an
WP:SPA active for one week in 2015 who does not understand French. A rewrite would be much faster than trying to fix this up, but the creator is welcome to take it to User Drafts and work on it at their leisure.
Mathglot (
talk) 02:30, 4 May 2017 (UTC) It's somewhat significant in terms of the cultural history of France in this period but it's not anything that would leave a gaping hole in the encyclopedia. That's my input. That said, if someone moves it to PNT I am ok with that also, and probably would even work on it, very eventually, if nobody else does ever, but note I am tied up for the near future with Dilma Rousseff and 1920s Paris. And there are articles that have been on that list for two years and more

Orthodox_Encyclopedia The current version is worse than a straight Google Translate, but not because of being machine translated.

Elinruby (

I'll look again when I have more time but I'm happy for that to remain in the mainspace for the time being, as I'm morally certain that Gaultier was an officer in the Waffen SS. Twenty years ago when I was taught French at school, The French Front National was fronted by Jean-Marie Le Pen, a scary person. He famously and publicly quarrelled with his daughter, Marine Le Pen, who now leads the party he founded. She is also a scary person but I don't see her as particularly Trumpish.—

However if there is a single news story in network communication in this period it was the emergence of the internet of things, so anything that promised fast communication for sensors is probably useful for that.

Elinruby (

Mortee was right to be skeptical as there are on closer inspection egregious translation errors that probably would not have been worth the time of anyone but a very advanced French speaker. I was going to suggest banning the author from translation but turns out he is already banned, period. I am fixing and expanding the translation however, if only for the surrealist tie-in. Still can go to wiktionary if people want, is essentially a long etymology.

It had no references or wikilinks at all when it first went up so I am not crying about that banner, and I kind of agree that English speakers are going to need that list to be further explained. Important because the group was first to apply the term biens mal acquis to the African kleptocracies being litigated in France, and those court cases are imho becoming more and more often cited in the wake of the Panama Papers.

On the surface, the English now looks good after copyediting, and if that were the only basis for judging, this would be a clear keep. *But* with nobody paying attention to the actual translation, that is misleading. The very
first sentence says that the village is located northwest of the capital, but oops! no it's not, it's in the northwest *part* of the capital, according to the original Spanish. [Never mind that it's actually in the east-southeast part of Tegucigalpa; we are evaluating translation here, not truth.] A rewrite here would be easier. This is an example why you have to compare to the original article; just because the English is good, does not mean the translation is good. This is a painted lemon; kill it.

Article to remove - articles without strikeout type generally will be removed; you may add the word "kill" to the comment line to guarantee removal. (But User space items will not be removed regardless, and need not be struck.)

That's my input. That said, if someone moves it to PNT I am ok with that also, and probably would even work on it, very eventually, if nobody else does ever, but note I am tied up for the near future with Dilma Rousseff and 1920s Paris. And there are articles that have been on that list for two years and more

Orthodox_Encyclopedia The current version is worse than a straight Google Translate, but not because of being machine translated. What was machine translated was a one paragraph framework of the then-existing ruWP article. it was then expanded to match the Russian manually by an editor whose knowledge of idiomatic English was inadequate & whose word choices were poorer than those from GT. That same ed. has since expanded the ruWP version, but did not correspondingly expand the English.

I'll look again when I have more time but I'm happy for that to remain in the mainspace for the time being, as I'm morally certain that Gaultier was an officer in the Waffen SS. Twenty years ago when I was taught French at school, The French Front National was fronted by Jean-Marie Le Pen, a scary person. He famously and publicly quarrelled with his daughter, Marine Le Pen, who now leads the party he founded. She is also a scary person but I don't see her as particularly Trumpish.—

Double_Ratchet_Algorithm - looks like quite a good cryptography article actually. Originally a machine translation from German, but it's been worked on quite a bit. I did not check the references but the English is idiomatic and just fine, if a bit technical, which is inevitable given the topic, I think. It mentions a few details I know to be true so although I haven't fact-checked it line by line it deals with areas where I have expertise and I'm calling this one definitely not a problem for purposes of this list.

However if there is a single news story in network communication in this period it was the emergence of the internet of things, so anything that promised fast communication for sensors is probably useful for that. I would have to research whether this article is needed for the next-ver protocol's article, or it's just a nice filler link for the version history.

Biens_mal_acquisMathglot (

Essentially I am having to dig deep into the French court system to understand it, and am importing a bunch of articles about French jurisprudence so that it won't be wall to wall red ILL links. Please don't delete this or I may cry ;) Topic is definitely notable, but I am unsure how well I have managed to convey that. I intend to get this article and its French equivalent to good article status if I can. If any one does have an issue with it though, please enunciate it and if you really think it shouldn't be in mainspace *please* send it to my user space, rather that deleting it.

This may seem like an obscure non-profit but look at all those unions and religious groups; needs wikifying and references still, not to mention fleshing out with the important colonial and Francophonie background english speakera probably won't know. It had no references or wikilinks at all when it first went up so I am not crying about that banner, and I kind of agree that English speakers are going to need that list to be further explained. Important because the group was first to apply the term biens mal acquis to the African kleptocracies being litigated in France, and those court cases are imho becoming more and more often cited in the wake of the Panama Papers. As above -- this is known to be imperfect, but accepts all the help it can get ;) please send to my userspace if you truly have an issue with it.

Tegucigalpa_Olympic_Village – es; orig 6kb by banned editor; significantly edited after, but largely ce for English, and lots of vandalism, and reverts. On the surface, the English now looks good after copyediting, and if that were the only basis for judging, this would be a clear keep. *But* with nobody paying attention to the actual translation, that is misleading. The very
first sentence says that the village is located northwest of the capital, but oops! no it's not, it's in the northwest *part* of the capital, according to the original Spanish. [Never mind that it's actually in the east-southeast part of Tegucigalpa; we are evaluating translation here, not truth.] A rewrite here would be easier. This is an example why you have to compare to the original article; just because the English is good, does not mean the translation is good. This is a painted lemon; kill it.
