Copyright attribution required for all future translations – you need to repair all past instances
Hi Doremo. I just saw your creation of Paolo Sperati, and from your edit summary, understood you had translated it (or parts of it) from existing content from the Norwegian Wikipedia article. I then noticed that you have done this many times before. Sorry to tell you this, but each and every one of these is a copyright violation. In short, we (us Wikipedia writers) own the copyright to our contributions (well those that pass the threshold of originality), but we automatically release our content under a free copyright license when we edit, that requires (among other things) credit to us as authors when the content is re-used. So when material is copied from one Wikipedia or Wikimedia project to another, or from a page here to another, the free copyright license requires that suitable credit be given to its authors.
Wait, don't worry, fixing the issue is easy (but must be done; I'll get to that below). All that the giving of that credit requires is that you state what you are doing and provide a working link in the edit summary to the source of the content you are copying or translating from when you save. Doing so gives suitable credit because the page history is available from the linked source's article, where the list of authors may be accessed, and every revision showing who added what, when, is accessible.
Please review Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia, and especially the part of that page headed "Translating from other language Wikimedia projects", which is at the shortcut WP:TFOLWP. See also Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. At both pages you will find detailed instructions, with suggested edit summaries, for how to provide proper copyright attribution.
The above though is for your future, similar translations. The issue now is fixing all past translations where you didn't provide proper attribution. For this, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Repairing insufficient attribution, also known by the shortcut WP:RIA. See also Help:Dummy edit, where I list similar material about use of dummy edits to repair past instances of not providing attribution in a variety of contexts.

- Thanks for letting me know; I'll start working through the articles and adding dummy edits to repair past instances. Doremo (talk) 07:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for jumping on this, and taking care of it! Sorry for how spoonfed the above is; I grow unused to meeting competent people like you in the Wikipedia wilds.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- I appreciate the clear instructions; it makes it easier to fix the issue. Doremo (talk) 14:45, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Considering that you are first mentioning PU (Policijska uprava) and then listing an official source, then you should acknowledge the fact that the official source in Slovenian mentioning PU clearly states that "presumably" or "supposedly" are there buried I don't how many Croats... it is not a fact. And further down that same source it also states that while location is determined, further research is needed. So the numbers of the dead or their nationality are inconclusive. Please correct this or I will add my own addition with the same correctly translated text and the same footnote as yours. Starangel19 (talk) 15:00, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
