Hi Cat, I just saw your introduction on the new user log. Welcome to wikipedia. If you enjoy translating (and what a great range of languages you speak!) you might want to put Wikipedia:Translation into English on your watchlist. Oh... I see you've just found it! Well, I just wanted to welcome you. I hope you enjoy yourself here.  :) fabiform | talk 14:40, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for beginning work on Theodor Mommsen! I had meant to, but my German is weak enough that I wondered if I could do a good job. I look forward to seeing what you can add to the english article! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your help, Jwrosenzweig 17:50, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome and the thanks! :) I have as good as completed Mommsen. Tomorrow I'll check spelling and add some interWiki links where advisable. Cat 18:14, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind -- I already looked through the article and caught some little things I thought needed fixing. You did an excellent job adding a lot of material: bravo! A question....you link to a de:article in the Mommsen article....perhaps you'll be up to translating it next? :-) If not, can you rephrase the remark somehow so that an English speaker would know they were jumping to a German article? Just a thought. Very good work, very glad to see you here, please keep it up, Jwrosenzweig 19:13, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I don't mind at all! :) I removed the link to the de: article, I thought it existed, but it didn't. It doesn't make much sense to link to a non-existing foreign article, so I simply changed it to a normal (empty) link. Cat 09:31, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hallo Carlo, leuk je hier even tegen te komen. Ellywa 00:10, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Could you have a look at my comments in Talk:Nihilartikel, the section ==on: Classification as a literary genre== ? I realize you went through a bit translating this part. I had originally left it out on purpose (but hadn't explained myself). I'd appreciate hearing from you, since you went through the trouble of translating. -- Jmabel 00:14, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hi Cat,

I added a section to the article Roman eating and drinking, hope i didn't do parts which you've already done on paper. I'm qhite well-versed in botanical terms, so it was not so difficult for me and i thought i can help. But i would be glad if you could look at spelling and language. You do so fine in those areas. Lady Tenar 19:54, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Excellent work Lady! I just made some very minor corrections, but it is very good. Cat 10:39, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Re: Psychoactive drugs

permanently or temporarily

This is wordy and incorrect/misleading. First of all, simply saying "alters" covers both, so it is not strictly necessary. These drugs do not alternatively alter brain function temporarily or permanently, they affect brain function temporarily with moderate use and with extreme use can affect it permanently. The brain is so organic that moderate use of any drug cannot be said to have a permanent effect. I have now inserted a separate sentence to this effect.

(such as heroin and alcohol)

I reworded the sentence to not refer to a non-existent class of "recreational drugs". This example is rather pointless; these drugs do not exemplify anything about psychoactive drugs, and are already listed below.

which treat neurological or psychological illnesses

This is unnecessarily wordy. I made it more succinct by saying just "medical". Indeed, many of these drugs are not used for neurological or psychological illnesses, so this distinction is void. I readded that information, but it is not the ideal solution. - Centrx 20:09, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

meta-translation and globalisation

Hi Carlo... (: There is a lot of new global translation to be done in the next week; a wikimedia newsletter, and a global press release. See m:Translation requests for details. +sj+ 20:51, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Paragraph 175

Could you do me a favor? I'm trying to translate the following into English and I'm not sure I understand it correctly. (If you want context, it's in commented-out text in Paragraph 175, copied from de:Paragraph 175 (Geschichte).

Im vorgelegten Reformentwurf sollte zusätzlich zum Paragraphen 296, der sich weitgehend mit dem alten Paragraphen 175 deckte, der Paragraph 297 geschaffen werden.

It would be appreciated if you'd just put the translated sentence on my talk page. Thanks in advance. -- Jmabel 06:33, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

Also, I'm trying to decipher "Ders. (Hrsg.)" in

• Elmar Kraushaar: Unzucht vor Gericht : Die "Frankfurter Prozesse" und die Kontinuität des § 175 in den fünfziger Jahren. In: Ders. (Hrsg.): Hundert Jahre schwul : Eine Revue. Berlin 1997. S. 60-69. ISBN 3871343072

I assume "Hrsg." is "Herausgaber", but what is "Ders." in this context? -- Jmabel 21:14, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

I've gone and just put these in the English-language Paragraph 175 without translation for now. You can either edit in place or let me know on my talk page. Again, thanks in advance. -- Jmabel 21:29, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

Derselbe makes perfect sense. I'd even thought of that but couldn't work out "the same as what"? I was thinking "does that mean it was self-published? That doesn't seem very likely..."

So do I understand from what you said that this is, indeed, a self-published work? Or can Herausgaber mean "editor" as well as "publisher"?

Also, I still need help with that "Im vorgelegten Reformentwurf..." sentence. -- Jmabel 05:45, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Jmabel,

Either I have already answered all your questions on your talk page or I didn't understand your questions correctly: I gave a translation of the passage on your talk page and IMO "Derselbe" means he is author of the article and editor (not publisher) of the whole volume, which is not all that rare. If I misunderstood you, please specify what you meant. Cat 10:11, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

You nailed it all. Thanks. -- Jmabel 09:14, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Carlo. I read your article on Adolf Reinach, but there doesn't appear to be anything in it to indicate why he is notable? As it stands I think it's in danger of deletion. Could you add more about what he is famous for? DJ Clayworth 15:22, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Seeking translation help again

I'm working on translating de:Friedrich II. (HRR). I'm having real trouble with the following sentence:

Zeitgenossen nannten ihn "stupor mundi", d.h. Staunen der Welt, worin insbesondere die Verblüffung - nicht selten auch das Befremden - der großenteils im mittelalterlichen gottbezogenen Universalismus befangenen Beobachter über das hoch entwickelte Individualitätsbewusstsein des Staufers, seinen temperamentvollen Eigensinn und seine unorthodoxe, schier nicht zu bremsende Wissbegierde zum Ausdruck kam.

It seems a bit overblown, which is probably part of my problem. Here's what I've got so far (not all literal); can you assist? (I'll watch this page, so you can just reply here.)

His contemporaries called him stupor mundi, the "wonder" -- or, more precisely, the "astonishment" -- "of the world"; it is particularly astounding, even strange, that the bulk of [?] medieval gottbezogenen Universalismus befangenen observers over the highly developed individual consciousness of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, their tempermental stubborness and their unorthodox, nearly unstoppable Wissbegierde came to be expressed.

Jmabel 06:16, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)

Quite literally:

His contemporaries called him stupor mundi, i.e. "wonder (or literally "astonishment") of the world", with which the majority of the observers, caught in the medieval god-related universalism, expressed their own astonishment -- not seldom the alienation -- at the highly developed individual consciousness of the Hohenstaufen, his tempermental stubborness and his unorthodox, nearly unstoppable thirst for knowledge.

The reference "des Staufers" is directed only at Friedrich himself, it is singular. "gottbezogenen universalismus" probably refers to the idea propounded by the church that people should not indulge in their individuality (personal pleasure and gain), but consider themselves only as parts of a community (the flock of the faithful). Friedrich's individualism is quite astonishing (even alienating) and modern in this respect. Perhaps we should simply use "religious" instead of "god-related". "Wissbegierde" is stronger than curiosity, and hence "thirst for knowledge" sounds about right (actually in Dutch wijsbegeerte - "desire of wisdom" is even used as synonym of philosophy - "love of knowledge"). The passage is not all that overblown: Friedrich was indeed a very remarkable personality for his time. I'll try to give it a look in a few days. I have been very busy and unable to contribute much recently: sorry! From October onwards I should have a little more time to spare. Regards, Cat 12:39, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thank you enormously. I've worked from there. -- Jmabel 18:50, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Happy Birthday!

Just a happy Birthday message to you, Carlo.Ierna, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee!!! Have a great day!

Translation

Is there any chance you could help out on the few untranslated phrases in Campeador (which eventually will be merged to El Cid). (Please let me know if you won't be doing this...) -- Jmabel | Talk 06:53, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

eerste nl.wikimedia.org ontmoeting

Husserl

Hello!

I see that you are a Husserl scholar and at one point spent some time working on the Husserl article. I myself am an undergraduate student in philosophy and am intrigued (though only moderately acquainted with) Husserl's work. I would like to vastly improve the Husserl article, including such things as noesis, noema, hyletic data, the natural standpoint, as relating to Husserl's work. Would you be willing to help contribute to this project?

Kind regards, Kevin L. 07:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

VWN en WCN

Beste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, Effeietsanders 25 feb 2006 12:27 (CET)

Requesting short translation

I'm working on translating an 1862 biography from Italian to English, in order to write a featured article. If possible, can you please translate just this section, which goes from page 116-117:

Ho convincenti ragioni per credere che in quest'anno 1560, oppure nel seguente, egli si portasse in Venezia, nella qual città, ch'ei si facesse correttor di stampe, è tradizione riferita dallo Sweert, il quale di età non fu guari rimoto, e ripetuta quindi dal Bayle, avvegnachè non corredandola di alcuna prova: però, il frequentar ch'egli faceva la bottega del libraio e stampatore Ziletti, le belle, corrette e numerose edizioni che ne sortivano, i molti dotti uomini che a tal professione per fortuna degli scrittori allora attendevano, e tra i quali splendeva il vivo esempio di Paolo Manuzio, l'inopia stessa del Maggi, sono tutti argomenti che se non danno certezza alla cosa, la rendono per altro assai credibile. Certo è che, malgrado il suo proteiforme ingegno e l'operosità instancabile, egli non dovette dapprima avere in Venezia gran sorte, giacchè nella state del 1562 trattò per recarsi presso Massimiliano Re di Baviera, quando ad istanza di un Cadamosto e di un Cornelio da Bergamo s'indusse a restare qualche tempo ancora, e poco stante incontrò un mecenate nel senatore Giovanni Donato (1). Acgemento pure ch'egli a que'giorni poca o nessuna opera prestasse allo Ziletti, dal trovare che le due opere da lui, dopo il poema, sin allora stampate, debbonsi ai torchi di Enrico Petri di Basilea, non avendo cominciato a stampare per lo Ziletti che nel 1563 (2).

Thanks for your help :) — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-14 20:28

speech act propagation

Hello Carlo! One simple request: I've came back to read the speech act article, and had a look at the Italian, German, and Nederlands versions. I didn't like what I saw. Seems that Italian and Nederlands versions still keep the slightly biased viewpoint I quirked about in the English version. The German article doesn't even mention this problem. I'm competent enough to read it, de, and nl, not to write them. Do yo mind taking care of that editing for me, and let me know when it's done?--- I've checked French, and it's OK; I'll take care of the Spanish version.--- Cheers, Louie 21:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I think they're better now, but the wording I really liked was "social acts as performative", which I believe the most accurate description of Reinach's contribution.--- Did you check the German? There not even a mention of Reinach over there.--- Thanks, Louie 18:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I guess the risk of oversimplification pervades pretty much any encyclopedic effort *sigh*. There are two points where Reinach's account of performatives may be shown to be slightly less comprehensive than Austin's as a philosophy of language, while Austin's account of performatives doesn't develop as much its implications on law and ethics; but Wikipedia is not the place to put them, or discuss them. I guess the difference lies precisely in Reinach's interest in law and ethics, and Austin's emphasis on language as a whole. In my opinion, they're more like intersecting sets rather than relations of inclusion.--- Anyway, any luck with the translations? Louie 15:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Brentano and the Jesuits

Hello! I just found in Franz Brentano the claim that he joined the jesuits. Is this true or some misconception (on the wrong assumption that most interesting priests are jesuits)? This claim is missing in other versions of the Paedia. Do you mind clarifying it for us? Cheers, Louie (talk) 20:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
