@Aftab Saeed Kirmani: Is the page you want to import TO: Asif Kirmani? What project did you translate this FROM? You can just paste the link below if you are having a problem with the formatting. — xaosflux Talk 13:07, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 Not done no response from requester. — xaosflux Talk 18:50, 29 July 2018 (UTC)



@Graham87:It doesn't look like it's done. —— FireFeather (talk) 23:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
@FireFeather: Oops, that done message was supposed to go with your first request; I hadn't realised you'd made a second one. I've done this request too. Graham87 02:02, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Import of de:Zukunftskolleg to Zukunftskolleg

So a cobyright violation/license violation is ok, if this version is overwritten?--Dehnschraube (talk) 09:53, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
    • @Dehnschraube: It is not a copyright violation; attribution in the edit summary and/or using {{copied}} on the talk page is perfectly fine. We don't use the same extreme standards of attribution as the German Wikipedia here. Graham87 14:37, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

  • @Sofre style: you have not provided enough information to proceed, such as exactly which page needs to be imported from which project. Additionally, the pages you listed above already exist here, we will not overwrite them with imports without a very good reason. — xaosflux Talk 12:00, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: I would like to preserve the history, so I am going to ask over on meta. Sorry, I thought you didn't need an iw map for XML uploads if you assign the edits to local users (in this case to me). --DannyS712 (talk) 22:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712: We get to 'assign local' or assign foreign, but we still have to assign the import Interwiki prefix: - I could just say it is enwiki, although it isn't. — xaosflux Talk 22:47, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: okay, lets do that? If it turns out that the beta cluster is added to the interwiki map, then I can always trouble someone to delete and reimport it if I care (but I don't really). Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 22:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712: I'd rather not until that discussion is closed. For immediate work you can just create the page here, and then we can always import the history later. This request will stay open. — xaosflux Talk 22:52, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: Okay, thanks --DannyS712 (talk) 22:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712: FWIW if they close that as "no" I'll still import for you as if it were here. — xaosflux Talk 23:04, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712 and Xaosflux: FWIW I do imports from non-interwiki-mapped wikis to here all the time (with my old database dump work). I just put the three-letter abbreviation of the month and then the year of the database dump in the prefix field and check the box about assigning edits to local users, but I do make sure they get to the correct usernames. If I were doing the import, I'd just put betawiki in the prefix field. Graham87 01:09, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
@Graham87: thanks for the note, since the interwiki discussion is open already, I'd like to see the result (especially as this is far from urgent). — xaosflux Talk 03:32, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
 Done @DannyS712: I've completed your upload, looks like the IW discussion at meta is going to be protracted. — xaosflux Talk 03:12, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: thanks so much (and on a side note, was I correct that you are the only user that can import to a personal js page?) thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 03:20, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712: no, Graham87 can as well - there are a few processes that override interface admin edit restrictions, and xmlupload is one of them (more visibly: globalrename is as well - for moves of such pages). Had it not been for the xml export/import part (i.e. if this was sourced from a project on the transwiki source list) any admin could have transwiki-imported it to Wikipedia: space, then you could have moved it to your own user space and they could have deleted the redirect. — xaosflux Talk 03:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: oh, thanks for explaining. --DannyS712 (talk) 03:33, 9 April 2019 (UTC)


Import of de:Ingelheimer Aue to User:Slashme/Ingelheimer Aue





Dear Graham,

thanks for your reply! I have asked Don Jaffe about the accent -- he wants to not have it anymore. I have already translated the article. Could you help me with inserting it? Shall I just copy it into here?


Best, Till — Preceding unsigned comment added by TillTank (talk • contribs) 08:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

@TillTank: You can copy it to User:TillTank/Don Jaffe. Graham87 17:03, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Great, thanks for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TillTank (talk • contribs) 11:31, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

@TillTank:  Done. Now at Don Jaffe. Graham87 14:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


Thanx! --JCS (talk) 22:57, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


Import of de:Wildburg (Treis-Karden) to Wildburg Castle (Treis-Karden)



@Xaosflux: would you be willing to rev-del Special:Permalink/913819779? I don't think it should have been imported; its from after the article was translated, and makes the end result akin to WP:Parallel histories --DannyS712 (talk) 02:41, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712:  Donexaosflux Talk 03:23, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
@DannyS712 and Xaosflux: I think selective undeletion is a much neater way of fixing this problem, so I've gone ahead and converted the revdel over. For the record, here's a link that still works to the edit in question (requires admin access to view). Graham87 05:05, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
@Graham87: I agree - I forgot it would still show up in the history. Thanks so much DannyS712 (talk) 05:06, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
@Graham87: thanks for that, I saw that one revision right after I imported it, should have just left it out in the first place. — xaosflux Talk 11:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)



Import of de:Yamaichi Electronics to Yamaichi Electronics

    • @Xaosflux:, could you please take over here? Unless I get up before you get to it ... it's way too late at night for me to be handling this. Graham87 15:57, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
      • @Franz Rosenberger:, this new page (currently at User:Franz Rosenberger/Yamaichi Electronics) is certainly not ready to moved in to the full article space. At the very least you would need to clean up all of those red errors throughout the page. When you think it is better, I suggest you send this to new page review by place the following code at the very top of the page: {{subst:submit}}. Then a reviewer will review and move the page for you. — xaosflux Talk 16:53, 18 September 2019 (UTC)



Import of es:Rose Garland Thornton to Rose Thornton

Import of de:Thomas Ertl (Informatiker) to Thomas Ertl (Computer Scientist)



@Bay Staatsoper and Graham87: A page importation is not needed, because the article has been edited by the same author in German Wikipedia. Following miniature edits have a too low threshold of originality. I copied the article into the workspace of the author to user:Bay Staatsoper/Sandbox. This case can be closed. Thank you, Doc Taxon (talk) 22:24, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Note: --Btvwiki (talk) 11:51, 5 February 2020 (UTC) 1:1 translation of a self-written article in German under Benutzer:Btvwiki/Kroos (Film) - the translated page is not yet complete
  • Note by importing administrator: Not done; @Btvwiki:, we don't import untranslated articles straight into the main namespace. Either translate it first or let me import it in your userspace. However if you wrote it yourself there's no need for an import. Graham87 02:55, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
@Visuseditor:, @JJMC89: Please import the article into the usernamespace of the GodeNehler to carry out the translation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GodeNehler/Kulturpalast_(Dresden) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GodeNehler (talkcontribs) 18:42, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Import for non-WMF page to 0x88

@Graham87: Well, I think that from the point of view of many people in German-language Wikipedia (where most importation requests come from, due to the views there on necessary attribution), page importation should be done as soon as a translation contains text from the original that is above the threshold of originality, and it seems to me that is the case here. So I fear that there might be original contributors who might frown upon no page importation being done, and even accuse me of violating the license. If you insist on not importing, I will at least put a note on the talk page that importation was requested, but denied, so I can wash my hands of the responsibility... But I see that it's a borderline case. I didn't translate a lot of the text and structured it a bit differently, that is true. On the other hand, I also added the "Expand German" template, and as soon as there is more translated from German Wikipedia, importation would be necessary anyway, I assume, so it could be done now? Gestumblindi (talk) 12:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
@Gestumblindi: I guess so ... if anything, the process to do the import is easier now than it will ever be. I've imported the edits. Graham87 13:07, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
@Graham87: Thank you! :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 13:09, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Import of de:Anett-Maud Joppien to en:Anett-Maud Joppien

  • Language: de:Anett-Maud Joppien
  • New name: en:Anett-Maud Joppien
  • Note: I would like to translate the german article into english--AMJoppien (talk) 09:11, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Note by importing administrator: @AMJoppien: Not done; I can't import a non-English article straight into the article namespace. Either write the article in English first or allow me to import the German version into your userspace. Graham87 15:48, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Note: Thank you! Whats the best way? I would allow you to import the German version into my userspace--AMJoppien (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:20, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @AMJoppien: Um ... I've just noticed that, from your username, you're the subject of the article herself, and you helped write your own article on the German Wikipedia. This is really not on in the English Wikipedia. Having said that, I've imported your article to Draft:Anett-Maud Joppien. You'll now have to use the articles for creation process to go any further with it, after you've done the translation. Also note that we have our own requirements for notability of academics; I'm not an expert in them however. Graham87 18:27, 12 May 2020 (UTC)




Import of de:Oleg Gennadijewitsch Torsunow to Oleg Gennadijewitsch Torsunow


@Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt: Not done. I'm not comfortable importing 244 revisions into the userspace of an account that represents an organisation, which is technically not allowed on the English Wikipedia and represents a massive conflict of interest. I'd only be OK with importing the edits if the page was established in the article namespace first. Graham87 15:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Import of de:Freitag Gruppe to Freitag Gruppe

@Freitag-gruppe: Pinging you. Graham87 16:05, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
