Thought about education program on zhwiki

Hello, I've been thinking about the education program on Chinese Wikipedia and how to avoid conflicts between students and experienced editors. Here are my initial thoughts, and an update on zhwiki for your information.

1. I discussed with some experienced editors and summarized how to prevent common mistakes (e.g., avoiding the use of machine translation). You can find the page here: User:SCP-2000/Reminder_for_student_editing_on_Chinese_Wikipedia. As it is licensed under CC0 license, you can use and adjust it based on your need freely:)
2. This point is not related to avoid conflict:) In the Communication module, there's a story in Chinese bout students misusing AI.. In my opinion, this story may not be suitable for students due to its rude language and uncommon slang. Perhaps listing examples of abusing AI would be enough (I'm willing to help with this task)?

   For instance, some phrases that may be considered inappropriate include: 不然我万一要是再戴上一顶“对新用户不友好”、“乱怀疑”、“思想上滥用CU”等帽子就更糟糕了 (Otherwise, it will be even worse if I wear the hat of "unfriendly to new users", "distrustful", "ideologically abusing CU", etc.), 首先声明，这不代表我提倡随便就CU别人赛博开盒，或者到处家访查其他用户的历史记录，但这实在确实不好忍 (First of all, this doesn't mean I'm advocating randomly CUing other people for "doxxing", or going around checking other users' contribution, but it's just not something to put up with!), 互煮客栈 (a joking reference to the Village Pump)

3. Furthermore, the zh community has created an Education noticeboard fyi, which you can use to announce course information or ask for help.

The above thoughts are just my two cents. I appreciate your efforts on the educational program. By the way, your Wikimania presentation about what educators think about using Wikipedia is great! SCP-2000 13:21, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

@SCP-2000 Thank you - this is very useful and I'll share it with my students. If you have not seen this yet, here is a longer guide created by another editor familiar with Chinese contexts as well: User:TheLonelyPather/Essays/Guide for a translator

I will annouce my new courses shortly on the zh noticeboard! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 18:58, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Pan Wołodyjowski

I see unusual title for the novel/film: Colonel Wolodyjowski and Colonel Wolodyjowski (film). I do not see any reliable refs that any of film/literary critics used "colonel". I see the title Fire in the Steppe for the translation of the novel. but I see no English-languaeg film releases. Any iea what to do with the titles? --Altenmann >talk 08:10, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

@Altenmann I'll reply at article's talk shortly. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:32, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
