Translation question

I'm working on Czech railway topics and encountered cz:České Budějovice jižní zastávka. This is a minor railway halt in České Budějovice. The literal translation of this name would be České Budějovice south stop or České Budějovice south station. My question is this: is "jižní zastávka" a proper name/proper noun, or is this more of a descriptive name. Should I render this in English as České Budějovice south railway station (following naming conventions for stations). Thank you in advance for any insight.

Definitely do not translate, see e.g. Praha hlavní nádraží, Praha Masarykovo nádraží. Btw. I'm surprised that there would be enough reliable sources for a separate page for a stop where there isn't even a building, just a shelter. Other wikipedias only cite the database of stops.

Thanks! I'm not planning to write an article about it, but I do need to red link it. Mackensen (talk) 13:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Petr Fiala (senator) for creation?

First, I would like to start I am new to this WikiProject. I came across some Czech election pages mentioning a senator named Petr Fiala. I am planning to create his article by translating the page cs:Petr Fiala (senátor), but does he pass WP:NPOL and WP:GNG of English Wikipedia? From what I can read on the corresponding Czech article, the secondary sources contain brief mentions and routine coverage. My Google searches mostly come up and mix him with the Prime Minister, so I would like to verify the existence of this senator. CuteDolphin712 (talk) 12:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Any parliamentarian from a sovereign nation is definitely notable, including a Czech senator :) Jdcooper (talk) 13:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

OK, I understand. Thank you. I will start working on it as soon as I found more WP:SIGCOV. CuteDolphin712 (talk) 09:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I would be happy to have help on this film set designer, author, and illustrator (paper engineer?). His work is wonderful and his story is interesting. Thanks! FloridaArmy (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Jakub Bursa

Hi I've been looking at very old unsourced pages and came across Jakub Bursa. I see there are references on other languages wikis, so I was hoping that someone here could help with adding some refs, please? Thanks JMWt (talk) 14:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi JMWt, I added a reference and included a book about him in a new bibliography section. C679 15:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

RSN discussion on the reliability of some Czech sources

Help from any editor with knowledge of Czech publishing would be appreciated, see WP:RSN#Are these books reliable. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Translation question -

The Czech langauge article on the Aero A.14 (cs:Aero A-14) - contains the text "A-15.12 byl jako první v historii našeho letectví v roce 1926 nasazený na Opavsku k rozprašování přípravku na hubení mnišky." (similar text is in a 1986 article in Letectví a Kosmonautika magazine which appears to have been used as a source). According to Google translate this means "In 1926, the A-15.12 was the first in the history of our aviation to be deployed in the Opava region to spray a product to kill nuns". What does "mnišky" actually mean in this context?Nigel Ish (talk) 12:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

The sentence speaks about aerial application against caterpillars of black arches (also known as nun moth) = bekyně mniška in Czech. FromCzech (talk) 12:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for that - I thought it was some sort of crop spraying or pest control, but what sort wasn't clear.Nigel Ish (talk) 12:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
