Killroy112233

Hi ~www~. I brought up the subject of User:Killroy112233 in the channel and a number of users and I went through his contribs and undid most of his edits. He has edited more Portuguese pages recently but he has been warned twice now, if he edits any pages like this again he will be blocked. For zh-hans, I was not sure who was active enough in translating for it to contact so I am glad you have undone his edits to those zh-hans (and zh-hant) pages now. Thank you for your help. seb26 20:39, 12 January 2012 (PST)

User Passant

Hey, there's a new user Passant who has been creating zh-hans articles at a high rate. Looking at his contributions, do you think he could be using an automatic translator like Google Translate? This wiki does not accept translations done automatically because they tend to be very low quality. I don't want to bother the wiki admins with it unless he really does appear to be using software to translate quickly. What do you think? Thanks, – fashnek _(talk·c) 23:32, 15 January 2012 (PST)

I got wind of this as well. I know most of it is copied from the zh-hant pages, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as someone fluent can confirm that it still makes sense. There's no rule against copying the text in an article. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 08:13, 16 January 2012 (PST)

No it is not acceptable. It has been done in the past by a number of users (zh-hant being copied to zh-hans) and the articles were all deleted as traditional Chinese is not simplified Chinese; I will delete the articles tagged by ~www~ after confirming they have been copied seb26 12:49, 16 January 2012 (PST)

Like I said, as long as it makes sense. Which apparently it doesn't. Well, I'm not pretending to know anything about Chinese, so I'll go now =) » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 14:24, 16 January 2012 (PST)

It's indeed a serious problem than you think, Cooper kid. The coping shall not be tolerated, even though here is wikipedia. 20:55, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Were the zh-hans pages tagged straight copied or changed? If they are not the same, were the changes manual or just with a character conversion tool? seb26 20:59, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Hi, could you check if the Heavy achievements/zh-hans page (also created by Passant) was copied from Heavy achievements/zh-hant?  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 06:36, 19 January 2012 (PST)

RE:Hello, EpicEric. I did notice this page, and yes, they copied it too (cause the quote is exactly the same words).However most of the content are template, and I saw that they hadn't translated the template yet, so I decided to spare it. 06:41, 19 January 2012 (PST)

Hi ~www~

Hi ~www~, sorry for the deletion of your post :( I was trying to make my discussion page look nice. BTW do you have steam? i want to ask you about some rules and stuff thx - Lockon

Lockon

I have deleted the pages you mentioned as they almost exactly matched what I got from putting English source text through Google Translate (see [1]). I have also posted on User talk:Lockon about this. Thank you for pointing these out to me seb26 19:07, 11 February 2012 (PST)

Hi there

Wondered if it is important that the user: User:A008503abcd has 2 persons behind it. I talked with him about the source for a picture on his userpage, and he told me that the other guy which is also using this account for translations uploaded it. Just wanted to inform you. I don't made a screenshot of the conversation but i copied a short part of it in the chat yesterday maybe the logs show it. You watch over him so i just wanted to inform you. TheDoctor 06:39, 12 February 2012 (PST)

If they can translate the pages well, I think that monitoring how much people are behind the account is not necessary. 18:40, 12 February 2012 (PST)

He added me on Steam requesting a higher resolution of my side images, and asked for some Japanese XXX :V A008503abcd 08:06, 13 February 2012 (PST)

User Bestipod

Hi there. I appreciate that you don't want people copying your work, but I've spoken to Bestipod and he assures me that, while he took inspiration from your well-written articles, he did not directly copy anything. He also said that what he's written is correct and understandable, but I'll have to take his word on that as I don't understand any of it! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 09:16, 14 February 2012 (PST)

I can pointed out many evidence that he truly did coping. So Cooper Kid, I understand that you were confused about the situation, however don't completely trust anything that he said before totally understand the problems. 09:24, 14 February 2012 (PST)

我们在STEAM上来聊一聊

你上线STEAM

I refuse.

Please be reasonable, ~www~. Bestipod's new and just wants to help translating the wiki, but there appears to be a misunderstanding between you. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 09:32, 14 February 2012 (PST)

I can be reasonable, if you want to listen the whole long story. And due to what he said "你上线STEAM", I consider there's threatening tone inside. Therefore I will not talk with him. 09:34, 14 February 2012 (PST)

Forgive my ignorance again. Bestipod friended me yesterday when he started editing because he wanted advice on how to translate - I've spoken to him a bit today and he's just a little distressed that all his pages have been deleted. He seems to be a nice guy, please give him a chance. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 09:44, 14 February 2012 (PST)

I understand your confusion. However, what it "appears to be" doesn't mean that it's the truth. After almost 2 years of managing the zh-hant pages, I have strong confidence that I can judge who has copied the pages, who hasn't. Therefore I am NOT going to negotiate, compromise, or even giving a chance to the person who apparently trying to lie and make others believe him. Chinese is also a complicated language, thus the people who don't understand Chinese might be hard to find out the evidence of coping or anything else. Please have a trust on my knowledge of Chinese and my honest character. 09:54, 14 February 2012 (PST)
