Hi, would someone be able to delete some user pages I don't need anymore? They are User:Maximillion Pegasus/userbox and User:MaximillionBot. Appreciate it! Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 05:16, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

自由與愛情

Already uploaded in zh.wikisource. See zh:自由與愛情.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But what about the translation? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get you? The translation is in public domain as well. Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:15, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I delete this page, then I will delete the translation as well. It is not present on zh.ws. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

??? It is present on zh.ws, no? Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:18, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no comparison and re-translation of the Hungarian original text on zh.ws. Sowhat666 (talk) 17:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think www.wikisource.org need to do comparison. The original poem can be found at hu.ws and it got translated in many langs. If people need, just move to its page in those langs. Zhxy 519 (talk) 20:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you can link to the hu.ws page, then I will ensure that they are connected via a Wikidata item and delete the local page. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are all connected via Wikidata. Zhxy 519 (talk) 14:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can an admin keep this page as I have some reasonable grounds to keep it!

(1) First of all, the content of the old Chinese translation is quite different from the original work. It is a free translation by the translator, adding the translator’s own meaning, and is not completely loyal to the original work. For example: the meaning of the first(生命誠寶貴，) and last lines (二者皆可拋。)of this poem are not included in the original work. There is a little suspicion of distortion, so it is necessary to add the original work for comparison!

(2) If it is really necessary to delete this Chinese translation, there is no need to delete the entire page. Only need to delete the Chinese translations included in the Chinese library. The new Chinese free translation and literal translation on this page and the Hungarian original text comparison can still be retained. . Sowhat666 (talk) 15:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any necessity at all. You are taking ws.org just as a place to upload your personal translation works. Even if they are valuable, zh.ws is enough for you. Zhxy 519 (talk) 23:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept for now with neither consensus nor prejudice while Zhxy 519 behaved questionably again at zh:Wikisource:写字间#修改認定長期不活動管理員之時限標準（縮短目前標準改為3個月） by excessively blocking someone with his illegal adminship with a wheel war.--Jusjih (talk) 16:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

與宮崎寅藏平山周的談話

It is in public domain in Chinese world from 2024. I would like to take it back to zh:與宮崎寅藏平山周的談話.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as it's back on zh.ws, let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikisource:Jimbo Wales against attacks on userpages

Technically not an essay. Just quoting and an example, but no point. If the author want to keep it, it can be moved to their user sub page.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jusjih:, it looks like you tried to have it moved once already. Do you object to userfying this page? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I strongly object to userfying this page. Hoping to peacefully solve this matter without pointing to any specific users, sadly some Chinese wiki users have been stalking around on certain matters, not here to build a better free library. The essay is derived from a portion of w:zh:Wikipedia:用戶頁#我的用户页不可以放什么内容？ mentioning Jimbo Wales, so I consider userfying this page unacceptable under my userpage. I also consider the nominating user calling it no point as unacceptable.--Jusjih (talk) 22:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The essay also extends wmf:Policy:Terms of Use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities, so I further object to userfying this page.--Jusjih (talk) 02:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Koavf:Ooswesthoesbes deleted it just for "nonsense" that I strongly disagree as an improper procedure. Please provisionally undelete it to continue the discussion.--Jusjih (talk) 22:01, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ooswesthoesbes: Undeleting as I'm not 100% sure you saw this discussion. Please chime in here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:24, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes go to Wikiquote, and not to Wikisource, so this is an obvious deletion to me. --Ooswesthoesbes (talk) 07:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. If you feel like deletion is warranted, I won't undo it. @Jusjih: if you want this page exported and you think there's a good place to import it, let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ooswesthoesbes, Koavf: it's not totally obvious to me but I would also lean toward deletion. My point is that we may need a similar policy but the page is very bad as it is (almost just an old quote that bring almost nothing), if we want to keep it we would have to rewrite almost everything, so no real reason to keep it. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 08:21, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

s:en:User:Beleg Tâl/Jimbo Wales against attacks on userpages has much better content than the page being considered for deletion here. Thus I hereby offer a compromise to let any administrator to delete it like a duplicate with some simple conditions:

Please write in the link in the reason while "Moved to the own language subdomain" may be used from the menu.
This compromise does not constitute me accepting Zhxy 519's motive or purpose while having too few edits here. Considering wmf:Policy:Terms of Use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities and our interactions across several wikis before [1], I am about to raise an interacting ban from him it in the Scriptorium soon.--Jusjih (talk) 03:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (I agree with Vigneron) Draco flavus (talk) 21:57, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To all of my dear fellow administrators: Many thanks for not having deleted it too fast. I do plan to delete it myself in the future, only after the issues involving Zhxy 519 becomes properly solved. See also Wikisource:Scriptorium#User not here to build a better free library. No interacting ban is needed here unless he misbehaves.--Jusjih (talk) 00:27, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept for now with neither consensus nor prejudice while Zhxy 519 behaved questionably again at zh:Wikisource:写字间#修改認定長期不活動管理員之時限標準（縮短目前標準改為3個月） by excessively blocking someone with his illegal adminship with a wheel war. I will deal this matter after finishing Zhxy 519's issues first, which may require months. It is not a good time yet.--Jusjih (talk) 16:25, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All documents uploaded by User:Sowhat666

Sowhat666 is taking www.wikisource.org as a place to upload their personal translation, which are mostly unnecessary, and can be done in local zh.ws. See [2].--Zhxy 519 (talk) 23:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing I see in his contributions is a page that is in Chinese, English, and some Indian language. Multilingual works should reside here: why would a work in three languages go to the zh.ws domain? @Sowhat666: which languages are you translating into and which are you translating from? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those works are not originally multilingual ones. As Sowhat666's previous message above, they is just putting all langs together in one page here for "comparison". Zhxy 519 (talk) 01:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

《梨俱吠陀》/曼陀羅 1/讚美詩 1 (ऋग्वेदः - मण्डल १)

I translated it from the original Sanskrit text into Chinese. Since ancient texts, such as Sanskrit, have multiple meanings and can be translated into sentences with different meanings, I then refer to the translations in other languages! I also add the authoritative original translation in English so that others can see the characteristics and differences of different translations. ! Sowhat666 (talk) 06:17, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually the original work lacks Chinese translation, or the Chinese translation has copyright restrictions, or the original text can be translated into other meanings and versions, so I translate it! Sowhat666 (talk) 06:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The formatting is a bit strange and should be improved (like put the texts in column or in juxtalinear if the goal is really to compare them). Also, the sources are lacking, it should be clearer where each part comes from. In the end, it's a bit unusual but I don’t see strong reasons to delete (nor to keep to be honest), especially is the presentation is enhanced. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 12:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Sowhat666 has been sloppy in their work on Chinese Wikisource (currently under a second block), and has come to Multilingual Wikisource to continue the same work under even less scrutiny. Fish bowl (talk) 00:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel very sorry and I am very upset. Sowhat666 (talk) 10:04, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept for now with neither consensus nor prejudice while Zhxy 519 behaved questionably again at zh:Wikisource:写字间#修改認定長期不活動管理員之時限標準（縮短目前標準改為3個月） by excessively blocking someone with his illegal adminship with a wheel war.--Jusjih (talk) 16:31, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Index:A Chinese chrestomathy in the Canton dialect (IA b22012941).pdf and its pages

This is already housed in English Wikisource. Justinrleung (talk) 08:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The content of this book is in Chinese, Cantonese and English.

Category:Mul (Multiple languages),Category:粵文 (yue),Category:Chinese Sowhat666 (talk) 13:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many bilingual works that use English as the metalanguage are housed in English Wikisource already. I don't see why it should be housed here as well; it would be a duplication of efforts. Justinrleung (talk) 15:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a bi/tri-lingual book, so it should reside here. I agree that we shouldn't duplicate efforts, but one of the functions of this project is multilingual texts. @Fish bowl:. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Koavf: So does that mean bilingual/multilingual works should be both here and at English Wikisource? Or all the English Wikisource books that are bilingual should be moved here? Justinrleung (talk) 00:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bilingual books should be here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:03, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nma jeni seems to be part of some project to translate works to Igbo. While a Cantonese-Igbo dictionary would be fascinating, I do not see the value in an abandoned index (user was active for less than a week) on which no work has been done, and it has led to confusion such as this deletion request.
