ArghDid you know that you left +20 messages for me on as many different Wikipedias, all inviting me to the same damn project? And because I don't visit those Wikipedias on a daily basis, I have them set to e-mail me if someone leaves me a talkpage message. Argh. DS (talk) 20:11, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Invitation(with Edit.C.:)Thank You very much for invitation to translate medicine themes. You know, I'm disgusted with poor state of cs.wikipedia especially in these disciplines (and once more in pharmaceutical disciplines). Unfortunately, I'm striking (=denied editing) on cs.wikipedia becauce for themes about Lithuania and especially Samogitia and their languages (usage of terms, (mis)translated from Samogitian/Lithuanian to Czech language) and also becauce for mistransliterated japanese terms. Also I'm disgusted with forced disinformations by some collegues on cs.wiki. I hope, if I could get some minimal satisfaction on these problems on cs.wiki, I should merely translate (or write) new articles on medicine (especially farmaceutic) themes. But, as more, than 2 years of my strike hadn't had any result, I'm afraid not so soon write new articles. (excuse me my poor english). Have a joly good day! Thank You again. --Kusurija (talk) 21:06, 28 January 2015 (UTC) SpamHi CFCF. Sorry for my grumpy mood, but you've left me a zillion messages via "MediaWiki message delivery" at all wikimedia projects I ever participated in, which surely also spammed my email (because of default wikimedia options to notify about talk messages). No, I do not want to do Medical Translation, neither I want to receive such messages. Please think twice before using MediaWiki message delivery - I'm sure you've annoyed quite a number of users like myself. Materialscientist (talk) 23:17, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Translation of citations into other languagesHej! As a followup to this discussion I had with Doc James, I am trying to understand how citations from the English language Wikipedia are transferred/translated into other languages. It appears that the {{cite journal}} template has equivalents in most other languages. It also appears that {{cite journal}} formatted citations can be transferred "as is" into some languages, while the parameter names must also be translated in some other languages. Where parameter name translations are required, are their scripts available to do this? Also do the citation templates in other languages generate metadata? Finally do you know whether changes that are made to the template code in the English language {{cite journal}} are propagated (i.e., synched) into their foreign language counter parts? The reason I am asking is I am trying to find out what complications if any would be caused by translating {{vcite2 journal}} formatted citations into other languages. {{vcite2 journal}} is a modification of {{cite journal}} that supports an optional
Dental cariesI've recently translated Dental caries to Malay. I thought the simplified article was at the main article so I translate it and took a weekend to translate it :P Anyway, are there anything should I do after it (besides translating more articles)? Not quite understand fully about the project :/ -- MalaysiaboyChat 10:50, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
A kitten for you!![]() Thanx for your invitation. I understand the importance of the medical translation project in many areas of health maintenance studies and spreading scientifically-proven.knowledge to all nations and language communities. That is why I do what I can in the English-Russian language pair, the only one I am somewhat proficient in. My limitations include insufficient knowledge of bio- and related sciences, especially in their current state of molecular research which may lead to unprofessionally looking translations. For example, I do not know what is NOT supposed to be translated as the Russian term corresponding to the English name of a gene or a protein is exactly the same - Russian researchers in the field may have already adopted the English term, but, because many science magazines are not freely available on the Web, I cannot be sure that this is the case - much better if translation is done by a bilingual biologist. Also, I am visually impaired, and not always can spend more time than I do in front of the computer. But when I can, I try to contribute to Wikipedia to the best of my knowledge in various spheres, including your project. Thanks again.

Tip about mass messagesHi, Thanks for your message about medical translations. I have a little tip about such messages. They arrive to many wikis, and in some of them the content language is written right to left, for example in Arabic and Hebrew. When you post English text in a right-to-left wiki, it is shown incorrectly unless you make sure to mark it up appropriately. Compare this version with this version. To make the display correct, add a div tag with appropriate attributes. See this example. Thanks! P.S. We should probably also talk about Content translation, but that's a huge separate topic ;) --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 16:30, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 4Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dyslexia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Afferent. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject. It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions.

Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." Reverting vandalism also can be marked as a minor edit, but this was not vandalism.

I wanted to ask you, just to be sure, what the current practice is in specifying column dimensions for sections laid out in columns. I thought that the current preference is to use the |30em parameter rather than the |2 parameter (meaning two columns) so that the section can display well on many different kinds of devices. But if you have heard otherwise, I would be glad to be informed what the current recommendation of best practice is. (As a separate issue, for long-term rewriting of articles, most editors recommend referring to actually related Wikipedia articles as wikilinks in main article text, shortening the list of See also links at the end, but of course each editor does one fix at a time, and maybe you are leaving that for someone else, like me, to do.) Thanks for your attention to an important group of articles. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 15:30, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
