Hello, I've recently have become interested in translating Wiki articles into other languages. Normally the English articles are very well cited w/ lots of links to relevant articles. However, I noticed that most of the resources available on the web tend to be written in English, and finding material in other languages can be quite difficult. So my question is, How do I handle references when translating articles? Should I just translate the content w/out refs ? or Should I include them even if their written in English? Are there some Wiki guides to translation? One last thing, is there a way to check the word count on articles (besides copying the text into a word processor)? -- GateKeeperX ( talk) 12:05, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

We're pretty sure it's a name of some kind, but any other ideas would be nice.

Which is correct (or, do you prefer - I imagine there is not one correct answer): "17-year-old" or "17 year old"? Willnz0 ( talk) 23:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
