[edit] Translation

Welcome to Wikipedia! I was the one that requested the fr:Réalisme fantastique article to be translated. Thanks for volunteering! The general method that I've seen to translate most articles--especially longer ones like this--is to do it in your Sandbox, or to create a user subpage (by creating an article like so: [[User:USERNAME/ARTICLENAME]], which can be deleted later). This is just an extra step so the real page won't be put up for deletion by accident.

I usually like to go to the original French article and copy the raw data from the editing page--then it retains a lot of the formatting, and can help with keeping relevant internal wikilinks.

As far as citing the original French article, under the Resources heading I put a note in italics saying that the article was translated, linking to the original article, and putting the month and year the translation was completed.

Don't forget to wikify and wikilink--it's a bit wearisome, but makes the article prettier and more connected to the rest of Wikipedia, rather than just a text dump. That's all I can think of now...again, thanks for translating, and good luck! Tamarkot 22:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

That was fast! Thanks again! Tamarkot 22:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
