Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-48

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Acids in wine Please be bold and help to translation this article! The acids in wine are an important component in both winemaking and the finished product of wine. They are present in both grapes and wine, having direct influences on the color, balance and taste of the wine as well as the growth and vitality of yeast during fermentation and protecting the wine from bacteria. During the course of winemaking and in the finished wines, acetic, butyric, lactic and succinic acids can play significant roles. Most of the acids involved with wine are fixed acids with the notable exception of acetic acid, mostly found in vinegar, which is volatile and can contribute to the wine fault known as volatile acidity. Sometimes, additional acids, such as ascorbic, sorbic and sulfurous acids, are used in winemaking.

Hey Eptalon! I was wondering if you had any feedback for my AOC GA nomination? I don't want it to go stale and I'm fully ready to fix the article pending any feedback! --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks - if you want to revert the bolding back to how it was before I flipped them around, please do. There are a few more examples in my contributions list that have the Latin name rather than the English name as the title. I will carry on doing these in the same way in case it helps alert you to which ones have Latin names rather than English names as the titles. Bobo. 11:47, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry. It's a weird thing that there is inconsistency. WP:COMMONNAME seems to make the most sense. Of course the other problem is when they have eighteen thousand alternate names... Bobo. 13:26, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

It's all good - it's easy for me to get mixed up between, for example, forest dormouse and forest dormice. I'll try to keep an eye on the right thing - I'll make sure I mention it in my edit summary.

Can't I just stick with Latin and order "sardinus maximus"? All the best. Bobo. 17:20, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Changing titles

Yes, from here on in I will remember to change the page titles as I go through them - I was waiting for you to give me the okay to do that - I didn't want to do it without you okaying my doing it first. You're more experienced in this area than me! Bobo. 01:07, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

I was just thinking about Pinus pinaster (the common pine tree that grows in the Mediterranean, and pretty much the more souther parts of Europe); it's what I commonlx associate with a pine, but I am regularly on holiday in SouthWest France where there's probably the largest such forest in the world. Note that it was planted by Napoleon III; the land there was pretty swampy beforehand. Anyway, just rambling.--Eptalon (talk) 01:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Picxk one, they are probably all common; if you are on Papua, then they likely wont call it Andaman redwood. Again: be bold, pick one, move with redirect.

Newbie

Thanks for the helpful thusfar - is there a tool on Simple. that scans an article and highlights any words not on a basic wordlist, proposing alternatives and such? I'm actually finding it quite difficult to write this, lol HaltlosePersonalityDisorder (talk) 19:45, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Personally, I am not a fan of word lists. I think the essence of SEWP is different: Try to make simple sentences that are easy to understand, and explain well. And look at the links I posted on your talk page. All I can point ot is articles such as Color blindness or Evolution, to see examples of the best we have. It will take time and also some training to get into it. So: thank you for your contributions, and keep up the good work you do. --Eptalon (talk) 19:58, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

And it's equally intended to be for children, for people for whom English is not a primary language, and for those with simpler vocabularies simultaneously? I just ask because I noticed while linking BDSM from Haltlose personality disorder that it has a rather sexually explicit image with prominent genitals, etc...which seemed odd when I'm trying to write in child-like terms on SEWP. Also is there a tool that will "import" the references that are currently labelled as undefined, from en. if I point it there? Think I'm finally done, lol. HaltlosePersonalityDisorder (talk) 20:17, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @HaltlosePersonalityDisorder: Simple English Wikipedia is for anyone whose English is not advanced. That includes children, but it's important to know that Wikipedia is not censored. It is the responsibility of a child's parent or guardian to control what media the child consumes. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:42, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
@HaltlosePersonalityDisorder: Please note that we live in an age where all kinds of different information is readily available. With only a little effort you'll find images/videos of naked people, or of almost any kind of sexual practice that you can imagine. Also, cultural values vary around the world. A well-chosen image can be used to illustrate a concept. Looking at BDSM, what would you expect to find? - It's bondage, and submission, so: naked men/women, with a collar, or other kind of restraint. Look at what other Wikipedias have, and you'll find the images are similar. So where exactly is the problem?--Eptalon (talk) 09:29, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Main image on en. is just a headshot with a collar, same with German, Arabic is just a flag, Bulgarian is a distant shot wearing pants, Spanish is just a head, Indonesian just a head, Romanian just a head....only SEWP thinks it should be a giant penis. None of them have an image so explicit, muchless as their main image, muchless so large, all of which is sidestepping the fact that SEWP has more focus on children as a target demographic than other WPs (for example having a specific editing policy on "For children" included in the welcome text you put on my talkpage, etc HaltlosePersonalityDisorder (talk) 21:54, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

German-language Wikipedia (we would probably call that article a good article) also has explicit images, for example a woman with a spreader bar, or a man in rope bondage. - You can't search for some terminology that is inherently sexual in nature, and then expect to not find content that isn't sexualized. Look at Nudity: It contains several images of naked people (or groups of naked people), but none of the pictures has sexual connotations. So, I really don't see where the problem is.--Eptalon (talk) 09:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

In my view, we shouldn't be allowing users to add Nazi theories about Holocaust denial to a talk page, and I don't see the age of the discussion as relevant to that. Racist beliefs are incompatible with Wikipedia and are not welcomed. --IWI (talk) 19:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

In what way is that 5 year old discussion revisionist? - Is odubting something revisionist? Talk pages are there for such arguments. Note that most killings were done with en:Zyklon B, which is based on cyanide. The Nazis produced three nerve agents, Tabun, Sarin, and Soman. To my knolwedge, they never used them. It is possible, that some were tested, also in the concentration camps. Sorry: I really don't see what the harm of the statement is. Thats why I undid your removal (and the collapsible border). --Eptalon (talk) 19:49, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

If you don't see the harm in Holocaust denial, then I don't even know how to respond. --IWI (talk) 20:05, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 (change conflict)  Wow. Just wow. Someone else removed that denialist nonsense (which was better than my collapsing it) and you restored it?

To my knolwedge, they never used them [poison gas].

This is the worst form of denialist nonsense. If you are you trying to get yourself globally banned from all Wikimedia projects, insistence on including this sort of thing may be as good a way as any to accomplish that. I've collapsed the section again, and I encourage anyone who wants to delete it again, to do so. As a friendly piece of advice, I advise you just to lurk and observe, and not to restore it again. Mathglot (talk) 20:07, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Actually, it isn't. I simply stated that to my knowledge, there are no documented cases, where the nazis used Tabun, Soman or Sarin, in a combat situation. Can you point to a documented case? --Eptalon (talk) 20:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

And no, I am not talking abvout the use of Zyklon B, in concentration/extetmination camps. That's well documented. --Eptalon (talk) 20:21, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

┌─────────────┘
Eptalon: I'm requesting that you be crystal clear now about your beliefs concerning the use of poison gas and extermination camps, because I am already at simple ANI and in Preview mode, composing a message requesting that you be de-sysopped (as well as de-cratted, and de-everything else). I will hold off before finishing my message (I still need to create some diffs), but I need the clearest possible statement from you. If I have misunderstood, then I apologize; but if there's any waffling in your response or skating the edge about this topic, I will finish the message and publish it. Just so you know that I don't take this lightly, nor do I have an itchy trigger finger: I've been here 14 years, and have never even come close to requesting anybody be desysopped before, so this would be a first for me. Let's hope I am misunderstanding you, but now is the time to be really, really clear. Adding IWI. Mathglot (talk) 20:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Mathglot, let me be clear: I wasn't alive at the time of the Second World War, I am not a historian either, so I need to rely on historians: They say that poison gas was used at these camps, and it was also used to kill people; I have no means to verify this information, other than the reports of different historians. This is however not the point I was trying to make: The discussion we are talking about is several years old. Yes, the topic is controversial, but there is no urgent need to remove the discussion. My discussion, also from above was that to my knolwedge the nazis didn't use the agents Tabun, Soman, or Sarin in combat situations. The use of Zyklon B (+other substances) in conentration camps, and the nazis killing people for example in the context of de:Aktion T4 are historically well-documented and not controversial. So, please provide documentation for the Nazi use of Tabun, Soman, and Sarin, in combat situations. --Eptalon (talk) 21:10, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

As to the discussion itself: comment (+user doubting these killings) in 2014, reply by another user, in 2016. Collapsible infobox/title is a more recent addition. --Eptalon (talk) 21:31, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

This is not about me, or my providing documentation for T, S, or S, in combat situations, or otherwise. I don't doubt that you have doubts about the use of those three chemicals, and that's an appropriate topic for the talk page. This is your user page, and it's about your behavior at the article (and here as well). We haven't interacted before, and I didn't know whether you were alive and politically aware during WW2 (few are; those who were 15 at the end of the war are now 90) but that doesn't matter. What's shocking to me, is that you appear either to be unaware that millions were exterminated in German death camps by use of poison gas, or you are unaware how incredibly tone-deaf it appears to other users to restore Talk page statements, such as this:

"Poison Gas ??? Oh Really? The Nazis killed millions of these people at the concentration camps with poison gas.

True The Nazis murdered millions of these people at the concentration camps with with industrial machine efficiency. But with poison gas? Even Schindler's List only showed that as a rumor. Remember that remarkable scene? Perhaps Steven Spielberg is a Holocaust Denier? Or poor researcher? Sorry, that popular powerful tale needs evidence.

as you did here, with the Edit summary, "Last known good version, there's on reason to remove a 5 year old discussion". "Good version"? How about considering this principle, when considering restoring it: there's no reason to restore 5 year old pro-Nazi conspiracy theories by an IP user. And after you restored it, it was still hidden by the collapse bar I previously added, so you doubled down, and uncollapsed it (with ES: no reason to hide a 5 year old discussion) in this edit. Wtf?

Are you really unaware of how this looks to onlookers? You appear to either be denying or finessing the question by use of words like "to my knowledge" and so forth). Were you a newbie user, or at least one not used to editing or commenting on Holocaust-related topics, I would just explain things patiently to you, perhaps with a warning to avoid disruption in this controversial area, carefully watched by many editors. But since you are German (or at least, German-speaking native, not sure how things are in Aut, CH-de, and so on) I'm well aware of how profoundly (and admirably, far better than the French, say) the events of WW2 and the Holocaust are taught to German children; so it beggars belief that you are not aware of this. But more important by far, is that you have your fifteen-year badge, and the triple mop of admin, CU, and crat; that's about as far from clueless newbie American high school student who couldn't pick out Germany on a map, as you can possibly get.

This is really troubling to me. I'm stunned, both by your original edits at Talk:Nazism, and here since. I just don't know what to make of it. Maybe I'm missing something; I'm far less used to "simple" than en-wiki. Mathglot (talk) 22:46, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

As art director at Universal Pictures for the bulk of the 1930s, Grosz oversaw the company's advertising campaigns and contributed hundreds of his own illustrations. He is especially recognized for his dramatic, colorful posters for classic horror films. Grosz's best-known posters advertised early Universal Classic Monsters films such as Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Beyond the horror genre, his other notable designs include posters for the epic war film All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) and the screwball comedy My Man Godfrey (1936).

flop not simple

Everytime I use the word flop for bad performances in certain movies, I get reminded that the word isn't simple. How come the word ain't simple? Angela Kate Maureen 23:42, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Angela, as you probably know I am not a native English speaker. From what I see, I'd say 'flop' is common, when people talk about movies or media, or perhaps even perfoming arts (like plays in a theatre). When I look at the alternatives (searching for synonyms), the only thing I see that could probably pass as simple would be 'failure'. That has the problem that its not specific enough. Personally, I'd suggest you continue to use 'flop'. But get a second opinion of a native speaker. --Eptalon (talk) 00:31, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Tropical Storm Angela: Native speaker here. When used in the context of how successful something is, flop is slang or jargon, neither of which is a simple use of language. (Entertainment reporting in particular is full of jargon.) You can see that meaning marked as informal in Wiktionary. Also, the main meaning of flop is to fall heavily, so the word has multiple meanings. When reasonably possible, it's good to avoid words that have multiple meanings, especially if the way you want to use it isn't the primary meaning. Instead of saying something like "the movie flopped at the box office," I would say something like "the movie didn't make much money." Even saying something like "the movie didn't do well at the box office" can confuse people who are learning English because that use of box office is figurative. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:16, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Flop is slangy when used idiomatically. Idiomatic uses are not simple, because if a foreign language reader is unfamiliar with street language they will not understand the term. Modern dictionaries do include idiomatic uses, but it seems many people do not use them or have them. On the other hand, idiomatic uses grow with use, and in some cultures become almost normal. It's interesting that the French language is officially governed by the Académie Française with the objective of controlling language change, especially invasions of English slangy terms! Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Note however, the Académie Française is only repsonsible for France; there are regional variations; I know of Belgium, and Switzerland, which do not recognise some of the rulings. Don't know about Luxembourg, though.--Eptalon (talk) 01:23, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Suspicious

Hey I would like something checked out please. It’s a major red flag to me.

In https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2021/Amber_Martinez#Discussion (sorrry I’m on mobile) the IPV6 user stated they have a different ip than they other keep vote. Looking at the edit history of both they don’t add up. The creator has had pages deleted, the ip users only edits are to the rfd. Seem suspicious to you?

(talk page stalker) @PotsdamLamb: IPs don't really count in RfDs anyway —Belwine (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

@Belwine: Not fully true they just have less weight unless they can actually prove. The problem I have is the ip users statement considering the other keep was by a named user. That’s why the “note we have different ips” triggered a flag with me. They are either editing while logged out or the other thing when they try to throw off a vote by acting as a different person. PotsdamLamb (talk) 23:27, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Pieris

I do not think we have any agreement to use common names over scientific names in biology generally, especially as we have so many users from non-anglophone countries. If we do, I'm not part of that consensus in any way. I notice you have recognised the problem indirectly when you offer an alternative name. The whole issue of naming was bedevilled by alternative names in different countries. It was always in doubt as to whether or not they referred to the same animal (or plant).

The one great advantage of the Linnean names is that they are exact, agreed and international. Many times the common names are not exact and almost universally they are not international. Have you any idea of how many whte-ish butterflies there are? Well, there are hundreds, and not all are in this genus. I don't mind at all using "Elephant" or "lion", but it's really not a good idea to teach readers to prefer common names generally.

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Jatindra Mohan Sengupta Please be bold and help to translation this article! Jatindra Mohan Sengupta (1885 – 1933) was an Indian revolutionary against the British rule. He studied law at Downing College, Cambridge, UK. In India, he started a legal practice. He also joined in Indian politics, becoming a member of the Indian National Congress and participating in the Non-Cooperation Movement. Eventually, he gave up his legal practice in favour of his political commitment. He was arrested several times by the British police. In 1933, he died in a prison in Ranchi, India. Because of his popularity and contribution to the Indian freedom movement, Jatindra Mohan Sengupta is affectionately remembered by people of Bengal with the honorific Deshpriya or Deshapriya, meaning "beloved of the country". In many criminal cases he defended the nationalist revolutionaries in the court and saved them from the gallows. In 1985, a postal stamp was issued by the Indian Government in memory of Sengupta and his wife, Nellie.

Common names vs scientific names

Re birdies, you might ask, why not apply the same concept to little tree frogs. They are mostly newly discovered and their so-called "common names" are just invented, and therefore silly to the point of being ridiculous. The answer is that if it keeps the user happy to create hundreds of new pages, who am I to interfere? It remains true that the use of common names is long-term not consistent with zoological nomenclature, and a phoney way to make scientific communication palatable to the general public. Understanding the importance of Linnaeus requires an appreciation of the troubles biology got into with common names two hundred plus years ago. Also, David Attenborough and the BBC do not help! Many of the so-called "common names" he uses have never actually been used by anyone but him, I'll bet. Macdonald-ross (talk) 14:50, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

You go to the supermarket, get a can/tin with fish inside; likely you'll find both herring and sardine. You go to the restaurant, and you'll find sardine on the menu (esp. around the mediterranean. Likely the sardine from the supermarket, and that from the restaurant are not the same species of fish. With herring, the situation is likely similar. And yes, there was this whitish butterfly found in cabbage fields, which turned out to be a cabbage white. I had asome biology at school, and I think I understand the problem. We do however have English learners here (and people whose mother tongue isn't english). Animal and plant names are among the vocabulary that's most difficult to learn (because its different in every langage). So, when our favorite edito searches for sardine, we had better make sure there's a page, at least for the more common animals and plants. As an illustration, the European tree frog is called Laubfrosch in German - 'Laub' -> foliage (as in: the leaves of trees), -frosch -> frog. --Eptalon (talk) 18:04, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The Kefermarkt altarpiece (German: Kefermarkter Flügelaltar) is an altarpiece in Late Gothic style in the parish church in Kefermarkt, Upper Austria. It was commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zellking and is estimated as finished in 1497. The richly decorated wooden altarpiece depicts the saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher in its central section. The side panels depict scenes from the life of Mary, and the altarpiece also has an intricate superstructure and two side figures showing saints George and Florian. The identity of its maker is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary of the altarpiece. Throughout the centuries, the altarpiece has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding. A major restoration was made in the 19th century under the leadership of writer Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area."

In very short terms: When storing a password, you add a random number or string before calculating a hash value. What you store in the password database is the hash value. You also have the "random number or string" stored somewhere. So when the user enters the password, you again enter the random string you have from somewhere, calculate the hash and copmare to what's in the password db (the hash of the password + string), but not the password alone. By definition, a hash function must give the same output, when fed the same string twice. So, when you compare the hash values and they are different, you know that the password + string was different (and the password is wrong). i know thats not what is meant by "salting" in Wikipedia, what I explained was the salting in cryptography. --Eptalon (talk) 21:25, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Verdis Deletion

Hello,

I'd like to ask, in what way was Verdis considered a fake / hoax? If you look at the deletion log of the media file, the deletion was only proposed and backed by one person (The Banner). That person's talk page on commons is shown to have aggression and even admins have suggested not to talk to him.

Sure verdis was founded by a then 14 year old kid but so we're many other Micronations on Wikipedia such as Austenasia. That shouldn't make it a hoax. It has reached enough notability on WRAL, RTL, TELEX and more.

Micronations are not always serious, for example Molossia. This does not mean they should be deleted.

Could this please he reviewed and the page restored? The the entire process has been powered by one user named the banner who has placed a deletion request everywhere. He clearly has a disliking for this Verdis project, but he is shown to be aggressive on Wikipedia.

I apologise if this is a lot to read. Looking forward to your response. I am happy to assist with this investigation. I believe that if the page is still declared controversial, it should at least be restored with a discussion for deletion. BrodieMan201 (talk) 05:49, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Tutankhamun's trumpets Please be bold and help translate this article! Tutankhamun's trumpets are a pair of trumpets found in the burial chamber of the Eighteenth Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The trumpets, one of sterling silver and one of bronze or copper, are considered to be the oldest operational trumpets in the world, and the only known surviving examples from ancient Egypt. The trumpets were found in 1922 by Howard Carter during the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb. The bronze trumpet was discovered in the tomb's antechamber in a large chest containing various military objects and walking sticks. The silver trumpet was subsequently found in the burial chamber. Both are finely engraved, with decorative images of the gods Ra-Horakhty, Ptah and Amun. The silver trumpet's bell is engraved with a whorl of sepals and calices representing a lotus flower, and the praenomen and nomen of the king. The bronze trumpet may in fact be made of copper; the metal has not yet been analysed. Similar looking trumpets feature in Egyptian wall-paintings that are usually, though not always, associated with military scenes. Silent for over 3,000 years, the trumpets were sounded before a live audience of an estimated 150 million listeners through an international BBC broadcast aired on 16 April 1939. The trumpets were played by a bandsman, James Tappern of Prince Albert's Own 11th Royal Hussars regiment. The recording was recently featured, and can be heard on the BBC Radio 4 program Ghost Music. Rex Keating, who presented the 1939 broadcast, later claimed that during a rehearsal, the silver trumpet shattered, and Alfred Lucas, a member of Carter's team who had restored the finds, was so distressed he needed to go to hospital. Due to their fragility, it is unlikely the trumpets will be played again in any official musical reconstructions.

Oh, having said this I realise it needs more refs. I'll do that over the next few days.

Well about Bird. Yes, but I have changed the order in the intro. The intro has got rather long in relation to the article, but that is because it now has to be clear about dinos right at the start. That is why I have had a bit of trouble with the sequence of sentences. You might read the intro to see what you think.

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Sèvres Egyptian Service Please be bold and help translate this article! The Sèvres Egyptian Service is a name used for two sets of tableware made by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres during the First French Empire. The first was produced between 1804 and 1806 for Napoleon I and was presented by him to Alexander I of Russia in 1808, as a diplomatic gift following the Treaties of Tilsit. It is now held in the State Museum of Ceramics in Russia. The second set was produced between 1810 and 1812. It was intended as a gift from Napoleon to Empress Joséphine. The service consisted of 72 plates with the wells depicting scenes from Egypt based on sketches made by Vivant Denon. Joséphine refused to accept the service, which she described as "too severe". It was returned to the factory and given as a gift to the Duke of Wellington by Louis XVIII in 1818, following the Bourbon Restoration. The service was purchased by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1979 and, except for one plate, was loaned to English Heritage to display at Apsley House, London, the former residence of the first duke.

Bird

OK, for better or worse, I've finished with Bird.

In passing I see that polygyny and polyandry have been redirected to polygamy. This is an error IMO, because in humans polygamy means only one thing, where in animals generally it makes sense to have the more specific terms. By redirecting we lose this distinction. En wiki has pages for the separate terms, but to my surprise they have content for humans only. So apparently I have to shut up about this! But... I see a page En:Mating system on En wiki which covers the use in animals and humans...
