Happy editing! — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 01:27, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi VolatileAnomaly!

Thank you for the warm reception. I look forward to contributing to the avancement of human knowledge through Wikipedia, this time with the resources you have so generously curated for me.

Much obliged – EmDashUser002 (talk) 02:29, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Northrop P-61 Black Widow, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 04:27, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello EmDashUser002,

I have been talking to Titlutin (https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Discussion_utilisateur%3ATitlutin&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en)(Thread: Zan Times) and the Translators link that Titlutin provided brought me to you.

If you cannot see the Zan Times thread, let me know and I can fill you in on the details.

The short story is that I have been asked by Zan Times to create an english Wikipedia page for them but Titlutin already has one in french and Zan Times has said that the content is totally fine.

The page is here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zan_Times

I am hoping you can translate the page so that there can be a Zan Times page on the english wikipedia.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sivarik (talk) 19:09, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Forgot to say – I am a technical writer/editor and can help out by correcting the google translation of Titlutin's page to provide an english version so you would only need to compare it to the french one to make sure the translation is right. Whatever works for you. (-: Sivarik (talk) 19:19, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sivarik,

I'll help you as soon as I can. Although, there may be some complications—in other words, I will most likely have to first "create" a page then link it to the French version at Wikidata—since I have not met the necessary requirements to use the translation tool on the English Wikipedia yet.

I'll hopefully be finished by the end of this week.

Hi EmDashUser002, thanks very much for getting back to me!

Are you planning to have be an english version of the page,

or just a few lines that point someone to the French version?

If just a few lines, I can provide you with a translated version of the french page so that the english page will have the same content as the french one. Sivarik (talk) 20:30, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sivarik,

I intend on translating the whole page myself.

In order to save my work, I started the page in one of my sandboxes, which you may view here.

If you would like (once I have finished) you may feel free to copyedit or change any parts as necessary—be bold!.

EmDashUser002 (Talk | Contribs) @ 02:15, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

"be bold!"

yeah, right.

i am very new to the Wikipedia editing world and it is daunting!

but thank you for the encouragement! and even more for your support!

(—: Sivarik (talk) 11:43, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

just got a long enough break to check your sandbox. wow! great going!

(-: Sivarik (talk) 16:15, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sivarik,

I have finished the translation—thus, the translation was moved out of my sandbox and moved to the "Main" namespace. It can be accessed at w:en:Zan Times for viewing and editing.

EmDashUser002 (Talk | Contribs) @ 03:42, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

migosh!! this is fabulous! i am sure Zahra Nader will be overjoyed! thank you so much EmDashUser002!

is the page 'live' now? that is, can Ms. Nader see it without having a wikipedia account, just a normal user?

i would like to add an attribution to the original french article and Ms. Nader may want to add references. however, i will have to learn how to edit a page first and that may take awhile. if i run into difficulties, do you mind of i ask you for help?

thanks again SO much! Sivarik (talk) 11:25, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sivarik,

Yes, as I have mentioned earlier, it is in the “Main” namapace—meaning it is in the state of what you called “live”. If you would like to see it yourself, you can try logging out to see a non-user interface.

As for attribution, I have tried my best—copyright disclaimers linking to the exact source page (can be done by finding a page's oldid in “Permanent link”) in most edit summaries, as well as a little box in the "References section" of the article essentially indicating the same thing, these two elements all present in the article.

I theoretically could help or assist in your editing quest—in fact, I do not mind at all answering your questions as long as it is within reason—although, it may be better to ask a sysop or have a proper mentor to aid you. If you are confident in self-learning but lacking most knowledge of markup (like me!), may I suggest “The Wikipedia Adventure”. If markup is too much for you, the VisualEditor is a more WYSIWYG-style method to edit Wikipedia.

Happy editing!
