chefkeem: 06/11/2013 - 05:15 PM Thanks for clarifying that, 'Chef' Achim. I'm not making sense tonight... And now back to sorting non-Wizzley 'stuff' out so you don't have to deal with my witterings until I have slept.

I said that I'd start with Wilfred Owen. Where else was there to begin? The WWI War Poems of Wilfred Owen: The Poetry is in the Pity My stuff: A Writer's Guide to Wizzley | Beautiful Britain!

WordChazer: 06/11/2013 - 05:02 PM Thanks a lot! Trouble's that I am stuffed like a goose with work for university 'till july. I just bought some original books about WW1 from Helfferich dated 1919 so I can provide information about that time period. I might start my own business of republishing public-domain books on Amazon-Kindle. |

Found this German site with amazing resources re: WW1. Don't know if Google Translate will do a good job. Just thought I post it anyway. http://www.politische-bildung.de/100_jahre_erster_weltkrieg.html Achim "Chef Keem" Thiemermann is the co-founder of a pretty cool new platform called...um...er...oh, yeah - Wizzley.com.

Sounds like it has potential, Christian. Good luck with it! Achim, the link translates very well via Google. But I've veered off into a second link from it, and the translation there is dodgy as... well, something very dodgy. The general essence seems to be that the average German has focused so much on studying and understanding WWII, that all previous history has largely been ignored. I find this utterly fascinating, even as the historian in me is shuddering at the disconnection. WWII doesn't even make sense without referencing the first world war at least; and that couldn't be grasped without the context of everything else. To my mind, this is like attempting to create a garden by lying cut flowers down on top of the soil and hoping that something grows. Is that how history is really approached in Germany? Or has Google translate totally mashed all meaning from the article? If it is, I'd love to read a proper article about it, if any of our English-speaking Germans has one in them to write. Thank you for the resource, Achim! My stuff: A Writer's Guide to Wizzley | Beautiful Britain!

My English isn't good enough for writing articles I am sorry altough I try to once in a long while. Every try from my side is another grey hair for Achim :P.

CADoerr: 06/13/2013 - 02:29 PM I could attempt a translation from German, Christian? Described by one of my clients as 'a literary grammarian', writing, researching and reading are requirements for sanity, at least this side of the keyboard.

WordChazer: 06/13/2013 - 02:31 PM Interessant. Das wäre einen Versucht wert. Habe aber noch bis Juli einen Berg von Arbeit für das Studium zum Erledigen. Danach können wir uns über ein Thema einigen. Ich habe einiges an Literautr über den ersten Weltkrieg daheim und es wäre eine tolle Zusammenarbeit. Ich könnte deine Artikel übersetzen und du meine. Deal? Christian |

Das koennte mal gehen! It's certainly easier for me to write in English with my QWERTY keyboard than German! Described by one of my clients as 'a literary grammarian', writing, researching and reading are requirements for sanity, at least this side of the keyboard.

JoHarrington: 06/11/2013 - 04:49 PM I might translate these articles into german as far it is possible and I will add information if I find additional one. Maybe we could also write the first part of the "PageWizz Series" as an eBook :). What I could offer would be to write some articles about "Manfred Richthofen" the Red Baron and I am still looking for a copy of "Infantrie greift an" from Erwin Rommel. I see a nice collaboration beginning soon.
But 'till july I am struggling to get my things done for my study. |

Kein Problem! I'm always busy too. Good luck with your study. Das ist wichtiger als PageWizz, ehrlich. Described by one of my clients as 'a literary grammarian', writing, researching and reading are requirements for sanity, at least this side of the keyboard.

CADoerr: 06/13/2013 - 02:29 PM That would certainly interest me, if you were up for it, Sam. And Christian {{{hugs}}} . As for basing PageWizz articles off mine - go for it! My stuff: A Writer's Guide to Wizzley | Beautiful Britain!

Translating articles? You may have to be careful, as Google recognizes translations as duplicate content. Achim "Chef Keem" Thiemermann is the co-founder of a pretty cool new platform called...um...er...oh, yeah - Wizzley.com.

Knowing how liberal my translations can be, Chef, this could be the dark side of unlikely ;-) Described by one of my clients as 'a literary grammarian', writing, researching and reading are requirements for sanity, at least this side of the keyboard.
