Needed translation

The series describes the life and suffering of the brewery owner family Wiesinger over a period of more than 30 years. It begins immediately before the turn of the 20th. Century, when Bavaria is still ruled by the Prince Regent, leads through the turmoil of war and revolution, shows the opportunities and risks of the 1920s and finally ends with the seizure of power by the National Socialists.

The family life of the extremely wealthy family is shaped on the one hand by the business ups and downs of the brewery, on the other hand by the difficult personality of the head of the family Kommerzienrat Anton Wiesinger. He is a typical patriarch and tends to make important decisions for himself alone in the "silent chamber" and often not even inform the family. He behaves authoritatively and patronizing towards his adult children. While son Ferdl basically can't please him, daughter Theres is overly guarded by him. Only Nesthäkchen Toni can develop relatively unburdened in the slipstream of the siblings. Anton's first marriage to Gabriele also suffers from his frequent infidelity. After her accidental death, he marries the much younger Frenchwoman Lisette.

Son Ferdl suffers particularly from his father's despotic traits. Although he is to become his successor in the company, he is still given little responsibility from him at the age of thirty and does not receive any recognition for his achievements. Finally, there is a serious rift between father and son. Ferdl takes a job in America and leaves Germany. From then on, Anton largely denies his existence and refers to Toni as his only son. It is only at the beginning of the twenties that a reconciliation occurs when Ferdl returns on Lisette's initiative to save the brewery with his hard dollars. This had fallen into serious difficulties during the period of inflation.

Son Toni, who had actually taken up the officer career, is brought from his father to the company after Ferdl's departure. Unlike his brother, he can successfully defend himself against Anton's interference and persuade him to withdraw from the brewery. A little later, however, the First World War breaks out and Toni volunteers to join the military. So the old Commercial Council has to take over the management of the company again. In contrast to the ubiquitous enthusiasm for war, Anton is opposed to the war from the beginning - out of concern for Toni. This is confirmed when Toni is missing in the course of the acts of war. This condition lasts so long that it is already generally considered dead. However, after the end of the war, he returns. However, it turns out that he was severely traumatized by his war experiences. He suffers from a variety of psychological problems and becomes a drug addict.

Daughter Theres suffered a riding accident as a teenager and has been a bit limping since then. This affects their self-esteem and has a negative impact on their lives for a long time. Thus, her relationship with the fun-loving and uncomplicated hop trader's son Franz Xaver Brandl fails, among other things, due to Theres' biased handling of the basically harmless disability. During the war, Theres works as a nurse in a military hospital, which gives her more self-confidence. At work, she gets to know the amputated teacher Wolfgang Oberlein. Later, both get married and have a daughter.

In the course of the late twenties, the family breaks apart more and more. Lisette begins an affair with Ferdl, but soon leaves him and returns to France. Anton first turns to a former lover, then to the younger sister of his first wife and loses more and more contact with reality. Toni is getting deeper and deeper into the vicious circle of dependence. The German-national-minded Wolfgang Oberlein believes he has found a political home in the up-and-coming NSDAP, which, however, comes to an abrupt end when he learns about the Jewish origin of his long-deceased father. The brewery, which has been converted into a public limited company, is infiltrated by a speculator and ultimately swallowed.

The death of the Commercial Council, which almost exactly coincides with the seizure of power by the National Socialists, finally marks the irrevocable end of an era. MallardTV (talk) 12:54, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Sir Christopher Furness, 2nd Baronet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Help with article usefulness

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Lego_Parts is this article at all needed or even if it is niche is it a good idea? MallardTV (talk) 23:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

If you want it deleted, tag it with WP:G7.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

No, I wanted to know if others would find it worthy of an article as I do. MallardTV (talk) 00:22, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

My vote is that such an article seems like fancruft and is too detailed and too much in need of constant updating to be suitable for Wikipedia. If the information is coming from just one third-party resource like BrickLink, there is little point in attempting to reproduce that resource here. If it's coming from original research, that's just not allowed.

WP:BITE in revert

Hey there! Thanks for patrolling recent changes and keeping on top of edits made by new users. I saw your recent revert (Special:Diff/1282293713) at the page Phasmophobia (video game), which you labeled as "Vandalism" in your edit summary. Since the laser pointer is indeed called "D.O.T.S. projector" ingame, this is a reasonable edit to make as a new editor uninformed with the encyclopedic tone/need for cited claims of Wikipedia. I'm assuming good faith that it might have looked like vandalism to you due to you not knowing details about the game. However, instead of WP:BITEing the new editor by citing vandalism as the reason, I would suggest to inform yourself, and then do an WP:AGF revert when approprriate next time instead, and if you can spare the effort, to introduce the new editor to Wikipedia guidelines and policies in addition to the warning on their user page. Cheers! YuniToumei (talk) 15:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

My apologies! I'll keep that in mind. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 15:44, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

I didn't realize I had cited vandalism as well, oops. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 19:26, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

That was my main concern, so I'm glad to see it was an honest mistake made in good faith. Thanks for all your efforts in antivandalism, keep up the good work! :) YuniToumei (talk) 21:54, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Dexcom CGM

Hello. I came across your new article, Dexcom CGM, on the DYK nominations page. I noticed a few important items missing from the article:

1. Accuracy of the results: What is the level of accuracy for the Dexcom CGMs? See: https://support.levels.com/article/453-accuracy-and-how-to-manually-calibrate-your-dexcom-g7#:~:text=With%20the%209%25%20error%20margin,how%20closely%20the%20numbers%20match.
2. Use of fingersticks: The article implies that fingersticks are no longer needed with the modern Dexcom CGMS (6 & 7). However, that is not the case. See https://dexcompdf.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/HCP_Website/LBL016530%2BG6%2BCalibration%2BFingersticks+(1).pdf
3. Use of Dexcom in hybrid closed-loop: See - This links to a uk dexcom site. Note: Often US approvals are behind European approvals. I did not research the approval status.

— ERcheck (talk) 13:37, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Well, technically, the new ones don't explicitly require calibrations in order to operate, but you're right, I'll include it when I get the chance. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 13:41, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Yes, technically, Dexcom doesn't require it. But, the Dexcom site also recognizes that there are times when the Dexcom reading may be off. Thus, the user should do a manual test. Without #1 & #2 above, it reads much like a pro-Dexcom info sheet. Their site recognizes that there are situations where fingersticks are necessary, in particular for making "diabetic treatment decisions."

— ERcheck (talk) 15:46, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Similar to other articles on FDA-approved medications, a section on Adverse effects/contraindications/issues is warranted. For example, use of acetaminophen-containing medications. — ERcheck (talk) 16:42, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

As someone who uses a Dexcom, I'm well aware of this. I'll include it. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 19:46, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Your ALT1 in the DYK is not accurate. Dexcom CGM says the 5 was the first Dexcom to use a mobile device; your DYK hook says it was the first CGM. However, Medtronic also had a connection to their CGM in 2015. See Diatribe.org — ERcheck (talk) 16:08, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Dexcom share was released before medtronic minimed connect. seee https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8120065/ MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 16:13, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

The Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM system, including its mobile app, was FDA-approved in August 2015 for use with iOS devices, and the Android app followed in June 2017.

The MiniMed Connect device received FDA clearance in June 2015. The MiniMed Connect app, which was originally launched on iOS in September 2015. The Android app was released in October 2016.

So, the "first to connect" is not quite accurate. Including the full info (approval & release, and MiniMed) would make the article accurate. — ERcheck (talk) 16:36, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

I'll remove the alt hook for now. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 16:37, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Just to make sure it is clear - I am happy to see a comprehensive article written about Dexcom. I wish there were such articles written on the other systems. As you likely know, even with these advances, there are frustrating issues with the systems, and it is important to have the article reflect that this is not yet the "artificial pancreas" that users need. — ERcheck (talk) 16:41, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Trust me, I would know 😭 MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 16:42, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

For the section on Hybrid Closed Loop systems: this article gives history. Also, first commercially available the MiniMed 670G (Medtronic) "The MiniMed 670G (Medtronic), the first commercially available hybrid closed-loop system, was released in 2016." — ERcheck (talk) 17:09, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

It was with dexcom? MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 17:10, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

No, it was its own fully integrated system. While the article is on Dexcom, including that there are other systems would give the article balance. — ERcheck (talk) — ERcheck (talk) 17:27, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

The link above, includes more history. The 780G is the current Medtronic model. — ERcheck (talk) 17:29, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Acetaminophen: Here is a reference that can be used for adding details on use of Tylenol. Perhaps the information can be added to the Accuracy section: Effect of Acetaminophen on CGM Glucose in an Outpatient Setting in Diabetes Care (2015) It is an important piece of information, especially, as not all CGM users are aware of this issue. — ERcheck (talk) 23:33, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

This is actually why I don't use acetaminophen. And cuz I'm so tough obviously 🤷‍♂️ MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 00:00, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Hmmm. Perhaps an ALT hook might include the fact that Tylenol can give false CGM readings? — ERcheck (talk) 00:08, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

ALT hook ideas:

1. ... that the Dexcom Seven, launched in 2007, was the first CGM system capable of delivering continuous glucose data for a full seven days, doubling the lifespan of its predecessor?
2. ... that the Dexcom G7 simplified the CGM system by combining the sensor and transmitter into a single, all-in-one, disposable device for the first time in Dexcom's product lineup?
3. ... that Dexcom aired its first-ever Super Bowl ad in 2023, featuring Nick Jonas, who lives with type 1 diabetes and uses the Dexcom G7 CGM?
4. ... that the Dexcom Follow app enables up to ten designated users—like parents or caregivers—to remotely monitor a person’s real-time glucose readings on their mobile devices?

— ERcheck (talk) 01:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

These are wonderful MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 01:28, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Feel free to add them to your DYK nomination. — ERcheck (talk) 12:23, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Accuracy: The statement that "As of its release, the Dexcom G7 is considered the most accurate CGM system available" is only referenced by Dexcom. That is a promotional statement. One issue with comparison is that Dexcom uses MARD, while not all the CGM manufacturers do. — ERcheck (talk) 01:12, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I can change it to say that it has the lowest MARD MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 01:17, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

20%L I think it is important to have a reference that confirms that accuracy 20% is normal, see Dexcom_CGM#Accuracy. — ERcheck (talk) 15:23, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

G6 integration: It seems that while the G6 was approved for integration with insulin pumps, at the time of the FDA approval, there were no pumps approved to integrate with the G6. Quick search seems to show that it wasn't until 2019 that the Tandem paired with the G6. See Connected in Motion. That piece of information should be added. — ERcheck (talk) 12:19, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I think this is the announcement of the first pairing - Tandem press release, December 2019. — ERcheck (talk) 12:56, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I just included the G7-15 Day (which was approved literally today). It's awesome. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 03:29, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

It will be interesting to see if accuracy is maintained throughout the 15 days.

Concerning accuracy, while MARD gives an accuracy measure of a particular CGM, it seems that Dexcom is still finding 20/20 acceptable. Should that information be included in the accuracy section? — ERcheck (talk) 04:13, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Keep these portals as is or copy one into the other?

Since the Al Williamson bios in these portals are similar, why not just streamline their content to be alike? Thanks for advice. Odla101010 (talk) 01:50, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

You do you man, it isn't significant either way in the bigger picture! MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 01:54, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Got it, appreciated Odla101010 (talk) 06:13, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Citation needed in Dexcom CGM

A citation is needed this statement in Dexcom_CGM#InPen:

It helps individuals with diabetes manage insulin delivery by calculating doses and estimating carbohydrate intake, while integrating real-time glucose data from the Dexcom CGM for more accurate dosing decisions.

Or you can remove the statement. If you leave the sentence in, I recommend that you revise it to have a less promotional tone. — ERcheck (talk) 13:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

I'll make it sound less promotional. I dunno why I write it like that, I don't even use it 🤣 MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 13:57, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
