Hello. Shelterbelt destruction at Yangguan Forest Farm is a new translation from Chinese by an unregistered university student. The article needs work for organizational structure, better/more citations, and more. Knowledge of Chinese would be a help, but plenty of room for improvement without it.

Template:End of course week leaves an unclosed <div>, which is causing a plethora of missing end tag lint errors. Please discuss at Template talk:End of course week#Template leaves trailing <div>, no need to discuss it here also. —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:13, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do we have any guides for students on translating articles? I am familiar with general guides (Wikipedia:Translation or User:TheLonelyPather/Essays/Guide for a translator, as well as the excellent, IMHO, meta:OKA/Instructions for editors), but I don't recall one aimed at students.
I am also curious what do you think about the requirement to check translated content (stable on another wiki) for Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Recently several of the articles translated by my students (from zh to en) have been found to contain close paraphrasing. To be clear, the students did not add it - they simply translated content from zh wiki, where it was stable for many years, but where also apparently nobody noticed this problem. Do you think the students and/or the instructors should be required to check for close paraphrasing in the articles they select for translation? Or should it be mentioned as a best practice? It is not, as far as I can tell, even suggested as a best practice in the guides linked above. Should it be added to them (or to a guide for students on translations, if we have one and it isn't there already)? Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 08:03, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
