[Wikipedia-l] Project: This wikipedia-related article is a stub...

[Sabine Cretella]

Ahhhh Elian, I see: we need your article on the stub-gnomes even in 
English ... well I am trying to translate it into Italian, it is fun, 
but really quite a difficult task as it has many of those "fine 
meanings" that don't need translation, but you need to re-write the 
whole text giving the same meanings in the other language to it (I 
already wrote it once and then re-wrote .... but it still lacks 
something) .... so I suppose the litteral translation "stub gnome" in 
English does not work well ... maybe we should think about Snowwhite and 
her "dwarfs" - so these could be come the "stub-dwarfs" ;-)

So who are going to be the English writing stub-dwarfs that make some 
nice present to these articles "giving" a bit more information :-)

Well: I am not contributing much to wikipedias (I am more concentrated 
on wiktionary) ... simply because my home are "languages" ;-) and this 
mail is about them :-)

Ciao!

Sabine
