[Wikimedia-l] Looking for Wikipedians to add already translated articles

[Rui Correia]

Hi James

I went to the page and I see that most of the Portuguese articles have "To
evaluate" next to them.

About "To evaluate" is says the following: Article needs to be evaluated by
a Wikipedian in that language ***to determine if translation is needed****.

The article on schizophrenia, for example, was started on the 31st of
December 2004. How exactly does it need "to be evaluated by a Wikipedian in
that language to determine if translation is needed"?

Regards,

Rui
