Who is...

[edit]

...a professional translator (Hebrew>English), recently retired from an in-house position at an historical museum and archives For further personal info, see User boxes on my main page (since June 2016) at w:User:Deborahjay,secondary at he:משתמשת:Deborahjay.

In other languages

[edit]

The Babel boxes might be updated, e.g. fr-1.5 and ar-0.25 plus a familiarity with the Cyrillic alphabet and numerous European languages. I do use Google Translate with caution and find the results highly satisfactory.

[edit]

My goal for future activity involves adding Properties content with references, using the library of my former workplace and web searches.

Previous activity

[edit]
  • Reviewing and cleaning up items with possible vandalism identified by the PL bot (16 October 2017)
  • Maintenance work at the Zulu Wikipedia (27 July 2017), assisting the Small Wiki Patrolling team in monitoring its low-level activity while cleaning up red links, missing categories, etc.
  • A page I've adopted (17 January 2017) in the interwiki aspect of the "Women in Red" WikiProject: providing a label in English and statements based on the foreign-language pages

Ongoing

[edit]

Particular sorts of polyglot Wikignome-work:

  • Supplying missing Labels and Descriptions in English from Hebrew and other languages I read
  • Adding Statements and Qualifiers to items in my subject matter fields of expertise (Holocaust history, Israel, literature)
  • Improving Random items with "No label defined" - using available content from Statements to create a label and description

And on other projects

[edit]
  • Hebrew Wikipedia (since mid-2014) with a local group of women editors in the Western Galilee, sponsored by Wikimedia Israel
  • Wikimedia Commons (since November 2014) mainly adding English-language translations for Hebrew-only material, adding DEFAULTSORT to correctly alphabetize foreign names, and sorting/categorizing images in my fields of interest and expertise
  • Yoruba Wikipedia (since mid-2018), editing support for new and existing content, categorization and Wikidata links
  • "Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos" (WPWP) (early 2020) on the organizing team
