[edit] Podbradníkovec

Podbradníkovec (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A "not-english" tag was added in April 2006 and nearly a year later it still is untranslated Chesdovi 13:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The proper tag, which puts the page into the correct category, was added only in February 2007. The article has been listed at the proper place (WP:PNT) only a week ago; Introvert claims it is Slovenian and probably a hoax. Kusma (討論) 14:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

This link seems to indicate it was added in April 2006? Am I missing something?! Chesdovi 10:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

At that time, {{nonenglish}} was not yet a redirect to {{notenglish}}. I did most of the cleanup work at WP:PNT last April, and wasn't aware of {{nonenglish}}. The advantage of {{notenglish}} over {{nonenglish}} is that it asks the person who tagged the article to list it at WP:PNT, and even if they forget it, we usually check the category CAT:PNT every month or so to make potential translators aware of the article. If the article is only tagged with a template, but not listed anywhere, it won't be found. Kusma (討論) 10:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

• Whatever it's about, it's actually Czech or Slovak. My guess is Slovak. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Update: I've got in touch with a native Czech-speaking user and a native Slovak-speaking user and asked them to have a look at the article. With any luck, one or both of them will be able to give us an opinion. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per a comment from -js- (a native-language Czech speaker with good Slovak) who's kindly translated the article for me. If anyone's curious, it's Slovak and not Czech that we're dealing with here. His translation is on his Talk page, but the salient points read Podbradníkovce are unicellural organisms. Its body consists of only one cell two metres in diameter (it is the biggest known cell, is visible to the human eye). Podbradníkovec lives in very contaminated schools, swimming pools, swamps, dining rooms, attics ... It has to eat 500-800 kg of food every day, otherwise it will die etc etc. IMHO it's a rather poor joke describing a fictional organism not worth translating.

• Delete per -js-. Those lines say it all. Phatom87 16:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
