This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Chinese article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Chinese , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Chinese. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

• Airport Station (Shenzhen)
• Chao Cheng-yu
• Chen Bojun

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Chinese article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 21:58, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am wondering if you can please update the following article Alex Gilbert that is currently on the Chinese Wikipedia here [2]? Or if there was anyone that can help with this? It is completely outdated. Thank You! I know it's a big task, but if anyone can help that would be much appreciated. --TheDomain (talk) 20:11, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. I would like to ask you could provide some translations for the Chinese titles of episodes for Stitch & Ai (安玲與史迪奇). While the list does show English episode titles, most of them are not direct translations of the Chinese titles, at least that's according to Google Translate. (The show is a Chinese animated series, but it was produced with the assistance of American animators and was originally produced in English. The show aired in Mandarin first, however.) If you could do so, please provide the translations under the RAltTitle parameters of the episode list entries on the article. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you. –WPA (talk) 03:10, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Toll-free telephone numbers in Anglo-America. Since you had some involvement with the Toll-free telephone numbers in Anglo-America redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:08, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I got your name from the list of translators. There is a new editor who is (or was - he's blocked now) struggling a great deal. I believe it is due to a language barrier. His user page mentions that he is from China. He has been posting {{help me}} requests on his talk page, but I don't think he knows how to use them. I told him I would try to find a Chinese translator to see if that would in any way help the situation. Would you be willing to go to his talk page and see if indeed language is the issue? (and if I have the right language) And if so, see if we can possibly help this person out? Here is the talk page:

TV Movie 2007, Discovery Channel, National Geographic. The protagonist is Qi Jiguang, an historical character. Geng Zhou, one of his soldiers, and Chang Ang, the Mongol military leader, are historical or fictional? If you don't know very well this documentary, you can see the full video (Part 1, Part 2). Their names can also be changed with other historical characters related with Qi Jiguang. In this site Geng Zhou is renamed Zhou Li. Geng Zhou was probably a fictional character, but in this documentary he is the second main protagonist after Qi Jiguang, then he could have an own page. You could also create the page about that documentary Behind the Great Wall. Please, can you help me, because I'm too busy? Thank you very much. --80.181.64.26 08:21, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Have you find something after two years?

Singapore, an article you have significantly edited, has been nominated for Good Article. It seems possible for it to become a Good Article, though it needs tidying up. If you are interested in helping out, see the review: Talk:Singapore/GA3. SilkTork (talk) 16:18, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nessie, a quick Google search shows that the longan witches broom disease is known in Chinese as 龍眼鬼帚病, literally "Longan ghost broom disease". The virus is 龍眼鬼帚病毒 ("Longan ghost broom virus").--Joshua ^{Talk to me} _{What I've done?} 14:10, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joshua, I've created a new discussion about merging the British National (Overseas) passport article into the British National (Overseas) and British passport articles. Since you were involved in the last discussion about a similar proposal, maybe you'd like to chime in. Thanks, Horserice (talk) 18:16, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
