Draft:Lux Films

This is another draft I started on an early studio. It's a bit of a mess with short notes on other studios. Salvageable? FloridaArmy (talk) 14:24, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FloridaArmy I am not too experienced with film studios, but I am pretty good with films themselves. I'll see what I can do here. As for Draft:Slater Mechanical School, I am even more unsure because the school has been closed for 50 years. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 16:34, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

German source

Hi! I asked this on my talk page, but to be sure you have not missed it. Could you have a look at this and tell me what you thinkk? Ok, I want to check this as well to be sure. This source is in German and I translated and changed it, but I want to know if this enough to not to violate any copyrights: Original - "Beschreibung. Länge 7,4-7,7 mm, Elytrenlänge 5,4-5,7 mm, Breite 4,7-4,8 mm. Körper eiförmig oval, dunkel kastanienbraun, Oberfläche mit matter Beschichtung, Labroclypeus, Tarsen und Schienen glänzend, bis auf laterale Bewimperung und einige Borsten auf dem Kopf kahl." Wikipedia entry - "Adults reach a length of about 7.4-7.7 mm. They have a dark chestnut brown, oval body. The dorsal surface is dull and glabrous, except for the lateral cilia and some setae on the head." B33tleMania12 (talk) 15:11, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The only part that I would not remove is the sentence on length. The other sentence is definitely close paraphrasing because the content you wrote in the article is as long as the content you are paraphrasing. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 15:16, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
