Main Page
en.wikipedalia.com collects the original English-language articles by Sheldon Brown (1944–2008) and his collaborators, above all John Allen, which have been published since the 1990s on sheldonbrown.com. For almost two decades, volunteers have been translating these articles into German on wikipedalia.com. This site brings the originals and the translations together: every mirrored article links to its German translation and back.
The articles are reproduced here with the written permission of John Allen and Harriet Fell. They remain the copyrighted work of their authors and are not under a free licence — see WikiPedalia:Copyright. The authoritative version of every article is the one on sheldonbrown.com.
This site is being built up step by step (started September 2026, 1,428 already transferred).
