Welcome, Olaf! Lady Tenar's given such a complete greeting above that I can only add one thing -- if you are interested in translating from German to English, I encourage you to look at the Wikipedia:Translation into English project. There are many other wikipedias in different languages, and the W:TIE project seeks to fill gaps here by translating articles from other wikipedias -- de.wikipedia.org is quite large, and so there are a number of projects awaiting good speakers of German! My own abilities are very limited (ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch), so I try to recruit others to handle tasks I cannot. :-) If you have questions about the project, feel free to ask me, or even better, ask User:Jmabel, who started the project and has done a remarkable job keeping it on task and well-staffed. Welcome, and enjoy your time here! Jwrosenzweig 22:13, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The following paragraph lists similarities from [1] and de:John Sedgwick... I hope you can see my point. I would not go as far as accusing anybody of copyright violations, but the similarities are striking, at least in the beginning of the article.

  • Die Militärakademie in Westpoint hatte er 1837 als 24. seines Jahrgangs abgeschlossen. Aufgrund seines jovialen, vertraulichen Umgangstones nannten ihn seine Truppen stets Uncle John, also Onkel John. Er war der dritte und zugleich letzte Korps-Kommandeur der Potomac-Armee, der im Feld gefallen ist.
  • Born in Cornwall Hollow, Connecticut on Sept 13, 1813, Sedgwick attended Sharon Academy briefly and taught school for 2 winters before entering West Point where he graduated 24th in the class of 1837. Affectionately called "Uncle John" Sedgwick by his troops, he became the third and final corps commander in the Army of the Potomac to be killed in action.
  • Seine aktive Karriere vor dem amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg war recht untypisch gewesen. Ursprünglich der Artillerie zugeordnet kämpfte der Neuengländer zunächst in Florida gegen die Seminolen, und verdiente sich später im Krieg gegen Mexiko zwei formelle Belobigungen. Um 1855 versetzte man ihn als Major zur Kavallerie, wo er in die blutigen Kämpfe in Kansas während der Mormonen-Expedition und in weitere Scharmützel mit Indianern verwickelt wurde.
  • This Connecticut-born West Pointer had an unusually active prewar career. Originally posted to the artillery, he fought in the Seminole War, was involved in the Trail of Tears episode, and earned two brevets in the Mexican War. Upon the expansion of the regular establishment in 1855 he transferred to the mounted arm. In this branch he served in "Bleeding Kansas," on the Mormon Expedition, and in further Indian fighting.
  • Gerade im Range eines Brigadegenerals als Führer einer Brigade im Herbst 1861 eingeplant, übernahm Sedgwick eine ganze Division, da General Charles P. Scone in Ungnade gefallen war und unter Arrest gestellt wurde. Dadurch setzte man ihn in Peninsula ein, wo er bei Yorktown und Seven Pines mit seinen Truppen gegen die Südstaaten kämpfte. Während der Schlacht der Sieben Tage verwundete man ihn bei Frayser´s Farm. Am 4. Juli 1862, am symbolträchtigen Nationalfeiertag, verlieh man ihm den Rang eines Generalmajors und setzte ihn weiterhin als Divisionskommandeur ein, bis er bei Antietam mit seiner Truppe in einen Hinterhalt geriet und von drei Seiten eingeschlossen wurde. Dabei erlitt er drei Verwundungen, so dass er bis zur Schlacht von Fredericksburg außer Dienst gestellt war, um danach das 2. Korps, dann das 9. und bis zu seinem Tode das 6. Korps der Potomac-Armee zu führen.
  • Initially in charge of a brigade in the fall of 1861, Sedgwick took over a division when General Charles P. Scone was placed under arrest. This he led to the Peninsula where he fought at Yorktown and Seven Pines. During the Seven Days he was wounded at Frayser's Farm. On the nation's birthday he received the second star of a major general and continued in division command until Antietam where his division marched into a trap, being struck on three sides. Sedgwick himself suffered three wounds and was out of action until after Fredericksburg when he returned to lead first the 2nd Corps, then the 9th, and finally the 6th.
  • Im Verlauf der Kampagne bei Chancellorsville kommandierte er im eigentliche Sinne die Truppen General Joseph Hookers bei den zweiten Kämpfen um Fredericksburg, da dieser durch einen Einschlag einer Kanonenkugel zeitweilig besinnungslos war. Dabei durchbrachen seine Truppen erfolgreich die feindliche Frontlinien bei Marye´s Heights, um den Druck von den Abteilungen seines Oberkommandeurs zu nehmen. Gestoppt bei Salem Church war er gezwungen, sich in nördlicher Richtung wieder über den Fluss zurückzuziehen. Die Schlacht von Gettysburg sah sein Korps lediglich beim Einsatz als Reserve, doch bei der Rappahannock Bridge im Herbst war ihm das gern zitierte und abgenutzte Kriegsglück wieder hold.
  • In the Chancellorsville Campaign he commanded Hooker's force at Fredericksburg. He broke through Marye's Heights in an effort to relieve the pressure on his chief but was stopped at Salem Church and was forced to withdraw north of the river. At Gettysburg his corps was in reserve, but he scored a signal success at Rappahannock Bridge that fall.
  • Gerade als Uncle John die Stellungen seiner Artillerie überprüfen wollte, schoss ihm ein Scharfschütze der Konföderierten in den Kopf. Ironischerweise hatte er just zuvor seinen Untergebenen erklärt, dass die Konföderierten auf diese Entfernung selbst einen Elefanten nicht treffen könnten. Der bullige General, den die Scharfschützen aufgrund seiner untersetzten Statur leicht identifizieren konnten, war auf der Stelle tot. Sedgwick wurde an seinem Geburtsort beerdigt.
  • While placing his corps artillery he was shot by a Confederate sharpshooter in the head. Ironically he had just declared that they couldn't fire accurately at that distance. He died almost immediately. Sedgwick was buried where he was born, in Cornwall Hollow, Connecticut.

Schiessbefehl

Can you answer my question about "shooting astray" at Talk:Schiessbefehl? -- Jmabel 06:32, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

John Sedgwick

Could you comment on the status of the German-language article de:John Sedgwick by the relevant request on Wikipedia:Translation_into_English? Thanks. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:01, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry I did not reply for over a month. I somehow got lost in real life. (I have to complete my thesis and have an additional job ;-(
It is correct that the German article has been edited and I think that the issue is clarified now. It should not be translated from the German source but rather put up under article requests. The German author has added literature references in the English stub, so we can write our own version. Unfortunately I do not have the sources myself or have any spare time during the next months to do it. Olaf Fritz 22:21, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

LaCrosse

Hi Olaf! I noticed you were on the German-English translators list. I was wondering if you could do me a HUGE favor and translate these sections from de:Lacrosse#Deutschland and #Österreich: "
