You bumped into an edit filter that watches for newly-translated articles. Let us know if you are willing to work on a subpage of your user space. For example, User:Amenagement/Peter Jacobs (landscape architect). You could get someone to review your finished translation, which might allow it to be moved back to main space. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:54, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The editor is now blocked for username by User:Alexf so probably nothing more will happen on this request. Except for the username concern and a general caution about COI, I don't see any problem that would keep this editor from developing articles in their userspace.

Page you were editing: Greg Olsen (American football) (filter log)
Description: Attempted to add new information regarding Kevin Olsen, Greg's brother, to the Personal Life section.

"Kevin signed with the Charlotte 49ers in 2015 to live and play in the same town as his brother Greg. On February 19, 2017, Kevin was arrested on charges of cyberstalking, assault on a female, second-degree forcible sexual offense, and three counts of second-degree forcible rape ^[1]."

Date and time: 15:54, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Comments: I did the edit for you. Please understand that most claims, in an article about a living person, made by new users with rape accusations are, in fact, violations of our biographies of living people policy, and the filter can't recognize the few exceptions. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:36, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Description: I was adding information to the "Equipment" sub-section. Specifically I was explaining why a barbell is sometimes padded while squatting: To reduce discomfort (discomfort of traps if you're squatting high-bar or discomfort on rear delts if ssquatting low-bar). I also added that the padding in this way is commonly called a "pussy pad".

Page you were editing: Francesco Parisi (filter log)
Description: the professor is in an ongoing story involving an accused rape (he's arrested). This was the sentence I was adding with citation: "The two had previously had a legal dispute over real estate.^[1]" also there is someone who is apparently biased toward the subject (check the article history) trying to remove anything negative about his subject (paid?); the professor is so minor he probably didn't even warrant a wiki article.
