::: You mentioned: "''A few of my translations (mostly into Chinese) have been deleted, or (for German or other languages) slapped with 'translation needs improvement' tags''". Was this one of the translations: [[w:de:Copeland-Methode]]? I'm very tempted to send a note to [[w:User:Karsten11|the editor who deleted that article]] and better understand why that particular article was deleted. It would appear from [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q5168347&action=history the history of "wikidata:Q5168347 (Copeland's method)"] that User:GreekApple123 was responsible for making the interlanguage link to the deleted article. My hunch is that this is one of the new articles you were talking about that was "slapped" with a "translation needs improvement" tag.
::: I am deeply appreciative of the people who review and refine the ample prose on this wiki. I think that Electowiki has been improving over the past year, after the prior years of stagnation due to the login issues. But I fear that adding new languages is going to make review ''much'' more difficult, since I fear that English prose is being added faster than the current community can review it. Can we review this in late November 2020, after you (and others) have had a chance to establish yourselves as trusted editors in those communities? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 03:01, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
:::: I only just now found out from checking your link that they deleted the German translation I made for the Copeland method. Bummer. Anyways, I made a translation of the Smith set article into Chinese which got deleted; that's the main one. The "translation needs improvement" was added to the Smith set article translation I made into German.
:::: Anyways, I am okay with waiting until November, or really any time before or after that, to bring this discussion back up again, though I myself am probably not going to have done enough translation work by that point to become a trusted editor. For now, if you're okay with it, I might add links to some articles saying "Here is a draft translation of this article into these languages:" linking to user pages with translations; that should be a workable solution for now.
