"Kuka"

Dunno if it's worth mentioning but "Kuka" means trashcan in Hungarian and Pavel Kuka was a Czech footballer? // Gargaj 13:19, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I can't imagine that the trashcan translation is relevant, since this robot company is German and not Hungarian. Pavel, if he's a notable player, deserves his own article. -- Mikeblas 14:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Trashcan in Hungarian _is_ relevant. It became part of the language in the 1950s when trash collection began with KUKA designed mechanics on the trucks. Therefor KUKA "compatible" trashcans were used, and they became known as "kuka". Reference: hu:Kuka —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.140.4.78 (talk) 07:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

KUKA is just a shortform of Keller Und Knappich Augsburg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.160.77.98 (talk) 11:10, 20 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed rewrite/update draft

Latest comment: 9 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

I have prepared a draft rewrite/update of the article in my sandbox: User:Hutterundhelden/sandbox

Disclosure: I have a connection to the subject of the article, so I am not going to make the proposed changes directly. The draft mainly tries to clean up the structure, update the infobox and recent company information, add inline citations, and replace source-style Wikipedia links with internal links.

I would appreciate review from uninvolved editors on whether any parts of the draft, especially factual updates to the infobox and recent company history, could be incorporated section by section.

Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references in your draft are not formatted correctly. The citation style predominantly used by the KUKA article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.^[a] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Citation style

Bare URL reference formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3]

References

1. https://www.booksource.com
2. http://www.journalsource.com
3. http://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the KUKA article. Using that style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref>
Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3]

References

^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2020, p. 1.

^ Harinath, Prisha. (2020). "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46.

^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2020, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such as yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly resubmit the edit request below at your earliest convenience, taking care to ensure that it makes use of CS1. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor.

Regards, Spintendo 17:38, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I adjusted the references according to your requirements and updated the article in my sandbox: User:Hutterundhelden/sandbox. Could you please let me know if everything is now correct? Hutterundhelden (talk) 08:15, 30 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
