Thank you foryour contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere,Wikipedia's licensingrequires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in anedit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation andlinking it to the source page. Sample wording for this is givenhere. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attributionmust be given retroactively, for example:
NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
Retroactive attribution may be added using adummy edit; seeRepairing insufficient attribution.It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted{{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you mustadd attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it atWikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.
