Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France

Hi, King Pius, and thanks for creating the article, "Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France". This article contained no inline citations at all, and included a section called "References" which is more like a "Further reading" section with some original sources from the Middle Ages, and pre-revolutionary times. None of these are valid secondary sources to back up the article, which leave it completely unsourced and unverifiable. I've moved it to Draft:Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France, where you can continue to work on it at your leisure.

As a secondary point: I only noticed after the fact that the article you created is, in fact, a translation of the French article fr:Lois fondamentales du royaume de France. Wikipedia's licensing requires that we provide copy attribution or translation attribution in the edit summary for any content copied from other Wikimedia projects, like French Wikipedia. This is a policy with legal implications, and so can never be ignored. For a sample attribution statement for a translation, you could use something like this:

Content in this edit was translated from the French article [[fr:Lois fondamentales du royaume de France]]; please see that article's history for attribution.

This is required, even if the article is a Draft that never gets moved to Mainspace, and may never be omitted. Since the proper attribution statement was missing, I've added it to the Draft for you, per WP:RIA. In the future, please provide a proper translation attribution statement in the edit summary for any translations you do; see WP:TFOLWP. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:48, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, King Pius, just wanted to reiterate that I think that Draft:Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France is a very worthwhile topic, and I hope you continue to work on it. I added some "find sources" links to the Talk page, and I already can see what looks like some good references, if you click some of the links there. I speak French, if you need any help with French sources. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I know you've been busy on some other article contributions (thanks for those!), but can you take another look at Draft:Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France? I think this is a really worthwhile topic, and I'd work on it myself if I had time, but I'm snowed under. It would really be great to get this article tidied up, and released as an article. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 05:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
