Translating articles[edit]

Hi KeikiKane, thank you for your contributions. Looking at your edit history, you often translate material from foreign language Wikipedias. Could you make sure if the content you're translating is sourced in your future edits? Perhaps, you could also add the sources with the translated content. Thank you, Aintabli (talk) 20:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing! My apologies KeikiKane (talk) 20:46, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Thank you for editing Wikipedia, Aintabli (talk) 20:48, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, please be very careful about translating/transferring content from the foreign language versions of articles. If you are going to add images, especially to articles about history or science, that the picture is sourced on Wikimedia Commons. If you are transferring written info from different languages, make sure that you're adding the source with them. The source should be reliable. It should match what is on the article and should be appropriate, i.e. more often than not a secondary source as it helps avoid original commentary. The fact that the content ended up in other Wikipedias doesn't help it evade scrutiny here. And frankly, this makes translating articles difficult.

My apologies once again, I'll keep a look out for image sources in the future, thank you KeikiKane (talk) 16:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
