[edit] Expert translator (Certified translations)

I saw your edits to the translation page, and I must admit that am not familiar with the official title "expert translator." I know that various organizations or schools offer translation certification programs or tests (like the American Translators Association http://www.atanet.org/certification/). Is that what you mean? You see, where I live, the government doesn't appoint official translators. Could you maybe provide a link or reference showing either what it takes to become an "expert translator"? My quick search only came up with people who call themselves expert translator without any legal or academic backup. maxsch 00:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your comments! As soon as I finish a translation to be delivered this week (November 26-30, 2007), I will read/review again the page about translation and include the information you are asking for. Meanwhile, my answer to your question is as follows: on the one hand, there is the translation certification programs/tests (ATANET, v.gr.); on the other, there are special "certifications" (I'd rather to use the term "appointment," or else the term "registration") for this specific kind of translators: those who will therefore be authorized by the Superior Court to translate official documents (among others, certificates of studies, certificates of birth, powers of attorney, etc.).

Best regards,

Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs, Mexico City, 03:17 am, Monday, November 26, 2007.

Hi again, Max! The page of the Superior Court of Justice ([www.tsjdf.gob.mx]) shows the list of requirements (in Spanish) to be registered as an "expert translator" ("perito traductor," in Spanish). [1]. Best regards from Mexico City, 23:19 h., Saturday, March 15, 2008 (it was not possible for me to come earlier: first I was traveling, then I was sick, and during the last few months I've been terribly busy!)

[edit] On how to use edit summaries

Hello there. I've noticed that your edit summaries seem to all simply reiterate the name of the page you edited, but that's not what the edit summary is intended for. Anyone viewing a history page or user contributions page (where edit summaries appear as part of a list) can already see what page was edited. So I thought I'd point you toward this help page: Wikipedia:Edit_summary. Happy editing, Melty girl (talk) 08:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I had so many things to do since November up to date (I still have, in fact) I forgot to send a kind answer and say thanks for your remark. Thank you very much, Melty girl. correogsk ~~~~

[edit] Hepatitis

Thanks for adding Wikilinks to hepatitis. Could I ask you to check whether a wikilink actually leads to the right place before adding it? For instance, antituberculosis medicines doesn't exist (and neither does lung scarring, and the pages for AST and ALT are disambiguation pages for other articles. The quickest way is to open the link in a new window and see where it leads, or alternatively using the "show preview" button. JFW | T@lk 06:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lolita

Could you take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)? I think you "overlinked" this article. Also, if you put ~~~~ at the end of your messages you get a useful signature like: (John User:Jwy talk) 19:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! correogsk (talk) 19:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs

I'm adding a "welcome" message to the top that has pointers to other stuff you might find useful here. Enjoy. (John User:Jwy talk) 19:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mucus

Hi,

Note that 'see the DSM' is a little vague to be used as a reliable source for adding information. Please cite the specific section of the DSM, or [www.pubmed.org a pubmed journal] to verify that this is a legit disorder. Thanks, WLU (talk) 18:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Since the light went out for a moment (twice), I thought my changes were lost.

correogsk (talk) 18:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC) Best regards from Mexico City. Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs (correogsk).

No problem. Here are some links you may find useful for finding and generating references:
  • Citation templates
  • Google scholar autocitation, a google-style search engine and reference generator. Useful when the article doesn't have a pubmed number (old, social sciences or humanities) but the citation template isn't as neat and it does not fill in ISBN or pubmed numbers
  • ISBN searchable database, used in conjunction with Diberry to find, and generate citation templates
  • pubmed/isbn Diberry's template generator, incredibly useful, uses the [www.pubmed.org pubmed] number or isbn to automatically generate a citation template for you; the most useful if you have a pubemd or ISBN
WLU (talk) 19:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again! I will review those pages, very useful, too, for my job as an English-Spanish translator. correogsk (talk) 19:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)correogsk

[edit] About you "minor" edits to Mexico City article

If you were an anon IP I would have silently revert everyone of your "minor" edits due to two reasons

  • Most of them are not "minor" edits as you substantially edited parts of the article. Passing those edits as "minor" can be viewed as vandalism, as people checking for it tend to ignore minor changes, specially the ones made by a registered user.
  • Most of them constitute POV(check WP:NPOV), use weasel words or peacock terms (check WP:AWW and WP:APT), or appear to be some king of unverified claims or original research (check WP:OR).

I cannot start to imagine how this subtle vandalism has damaged the article. I will try to track your most controversial edits and manually revert them. PLEASE refrain to repeat this kind of "minor edits" without having properly discuss them in the talk page or having reliably sourced them. I suggest you fully read and comprehend the three Wikipedia pillars which are the already mentioned WP:NPOV and WP:OR, and also the WP:V. Thank you. --Legion fi (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

The best way to avoid this problem is to click the 'my preferences' tab at the top of the page, click the 'Editing' tab, then uncheck 'Mark all edits minor by default'. Each time you make an edit that actually is minor, such as correcting a spelling error, just check 'This is a minor edit' under the Edit Summary line. Regards, CliffC (talk) 03:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Perspective

Hi. Thanks for adding the interwiki link at Perspective. Just to let you know, the manual of style for disambig pages, says "Entries should nearly always be sentence fragments. Even when the entry forms a complete sentence, do not include commas or periods at the end of the line.". Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 20:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your remark, Quiddity. Best regards from Mexico City. --correogsk (talk) 21:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC) Gustavo Sandoval Kingwergs.

[edit] Edit to heterotroph

There's no need to add a hatnote about consumers in economics, as there is no plausible way a person would get there (they wouldn't type in consumer (biology) if they were looking for the economics article). A hatnote to resource (ecology) might be more appropriate, but that article doesn't even exist yet. Richard001 (talk) 00:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

You're right, Richard. Thanks a lot!! Best regards from Mexico City!--correogsk (talk) 07:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adding "Definition" section headers at the top of articles

Please don't do that. The lead section of each article *is* the definition, that's standard Wikipedia style. Take a look at WP:LEAD or just about any article to see how this works. Thanks. --CliffC (talk) 03:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
