Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 01 2009, 03:39 We're currently doing some behind the scenes work on some of the reference sections of tubular.net, one of them being the articles section. Of those articles on that page which were originally published in a language other than English, do any of you have copies of them in their original language, or know where we could find them? It would be incredibly helpful if you could email them to me, either as a link to somewhere it's already been published or transcribed online, as a text file (or text pasted into the email, or indeed as a PDF or any other format which isn't too obscure) or an image with a scan of the article. We'll try and look for them ourselves if nobody else knows where to look, but if you can help us, it'll make the whole process much quicker! Our aim is to use them to help make sure all of the English translations are as accurate as possible, as well as possibly offering the original text to those who want it. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 01 2009, 08:54 I don't, unfortunately. I think I might have a few in magazines which aren't in the articles section yet (including at least one, maybe two, from Guitarist) but not that one. I might know where I can get hold of it, though. I'll let you know if I have any luck...that's unless anyone else has it easily to hand. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 01 2009, 16:29 You could always just take a picture of them with a digital camera, as long as the article is readable enough in the picture. It would probably mean that it would have to then be typed up by one of us rather than just OCRed in, but it'll still be a massive help! Back to top

Philippe Tavares Group: Members Posts: 1613 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: July 01 2009, 18:32 @ Yannick ? as tu l'article paru en France dans " Voici " , sorte de tabloid Français ; il parle de maisons de stars aux Baleares et de celle de Mike ; il y a une photo De Mike . Si tu l'as , c'est inutile que je l'envoie a Korgscrew . Il me semble qu'il soit assez rare celui-là ! Yannick do you have the article published in France in " Voici " , a kind of French tabloid ; it speaks about celebrities houses in Balearic Islands and so the one of Mike ; there's a pic of him ! . If yes , no need i send it to Korgscrew . I think this one is pretty rare ! Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 01 2009, 20:13 Another option if you don't have a scanner is to make photocopies (we can reimburse you the cost). Back to top

I think the most simple is to ask a friend of him to scan the magazines , it's a nice option too ... i guess ! Back to top

yanouch65 Group: Members Posts: 680 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: July 02 2009, 02:06 When I say "more than 350 articles", I mean not only interviews. Most of them are articles about Mike, his intsuments, his life, his houses...etc... What are you interested in? Only interviews or everything about him? I can see there are already a lot of articles under "articles section" -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top
