the problem with translating via English...

"海豹" is a dog-like animal that lives in the sea

"Siegel" is (for example) a roughly circular blob of red wax on a sheet of paper

wikimedia colours actually white, black, blue. change my mind
@bd808 @theresnotime never really understood why English Wikipedia is so strict about people self publishing information about themselves... surely they're the experts on themselves?

@bd808 @theresnotime as Sammy mentioned, Wikidata doesn't have a lot of rules 😅 (and the English Wikipedia is a lot stricter than most other languages/projects)

we definitely don't like self-promotion, but if it already existed and you're not doing silly things like linking every article which mentions you using "described at URL", it's probably completely fine (especially if you can add references)

just used #DuckDuckGo to find something in Google Books because Google can't find its own books 😆
