Bounty for translations of the Bitcoin article in Wikipedia [upto 23 BTC]

[theymos]

Donated 25.

[ShadowOfHarbringer]

Well, i fully translated Polish wikipedia page, but there wasn't a bounty at the time.
Thanks for adding me to the list, cw.

----------------

Also, i think that it would be good idea to make somebody more trusted such as theymos, Kiba, Gavin or Noagendamarket hold the money.
No offense there cw, but you just registered.

Sent 0.5 to the fund.

Donated 25.

Thanks niooron and theymos, I've donated 25.5 as well since I can see both of your transactions in the blockchain.  Ironically enough, I can't see my own there--probably because it was mybitcoin->mybitcoin.  Sent the 25.5 from the client instead to counter this.  Still 24.5 to be matched!

Finished the full translation of the spanish version. Someone else had done the first paragraph, maybe they are around.

I have fixed some templates, categories, etc. It still needs some improvements:

• In the reference, translate all date strings (there are names of months in English).
• When references are in English, you have to add the attribute "idioma=inglés" to the cite template.

Also, some sentences do not look natural, they need more adaptation to sound Spanish. There are also a good number of missing accents and other typos. Still needs more review (either by you or others).

I'll get around to it. Some sentences just need to be rewritten.

Nobody is reviewing anything, I think these articles are really important to spread the word about Bitcoin.

Maybe there are other indonesian-speakers who want to donate an extra amount...?

I'm sorry. I'm currently travelling abroad. I'll review everything as soon as possible.

Article translated to Swedish by me (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin). Same username there as here, Zulu. Potential reward can be sent to: 1Ko9yVjydbqnMFFex1CYAP2krS76e7GNs5

Personally I found the English article to be quite lacking. I'm not sure you get a good understanding of how exactly Bitcoin actually work from reading it. It also contains a lot of repetitions. I also think the article needs to push the economic aspects a bit more and be a bit more self-critical. Right now it's mostly about the tech, which is, to most people, rather uninteresting.

Should i try campaining(sp?) to have people review and approve my translation?

Yes. I didn't expect the translation bounty to take off so quickly. So that these kind of things could be pointed out. We should improve the English article and, probably, start a bounty here for funding a bounty on Wikipedia's Reward Board. That would get some experienced Wikipedians to work on it.

Could you add some relevant categories to the article? Otherwise, looks pretty good!

Added a couple that seemed relevant.

Looks good from the point of view of references, links, format, markup, categories, etc. Although, I see it's been marked as needed grammar improvements by the user Imperto. So it might need some work yet.

Yeah, I just noticed. I don't think it's so much the grammar (hopefully) as it is the use of some English expressions and such, which is really hard to avoid when it comes to technology in general. I'll look over the article more closely during the weekend.
