Hello, I'm Askelaadden. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ismail Ibn Sharif have been undone because they was not sourced. Please check Wikipedia:Reliable sources in order to avoid WP:OR. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. --Askelaadden (talk) 16:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Hadj Mustapha moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hadj Mustapha, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Original research

I don't want to leave a warning on your talk page, but I have to ask you to stop adding original research to articles. M.Bitton (talk) 23:40, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: I apologise, I was translating pages from French Wikipedia Fleettask (talk) 10:28, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

There is no point in apologising if you intend on doing it again, like you did here and since you are copying text from another wiki without attribution, I also suggest you read Wikipedia:Copyrights#Reusers'_rights_and_obligations (you've already been made aware of the copyvio issue). Why are you creating countless redirects for articles that are already poorly sourced? M.Bitton (talk) 14:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: I added attribution to Dila'ite uprising (1677). I created redirects because those are alternative names. Fleettask (talk) 15:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

That's not how the attribution that I mentioned works. When you copy text from another wiki article (assuming you have checked its content and cited sources, since you are responsible for whatever content you're adding), you need to specify which article you copied it from. M.Bitton (talk) 15:18, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

As for the redirects that you created, they are unsourced and definitely not "alternative names" since the titles of those articles are already questionable. M.Bitton (talk) 15:32, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: I specified the article and I added the sources. As for the redirects, I created redirect pages such as Algerian-Tunisian War (1735) which redirects to Tunisian-Algerian War (1735) and Conquest of Rif and Oujda (1795) which redirects to Conquest of Oujda (1795) Fleettask (talk) 15:42, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

No, you didn't specify the articles you copied them from (just make sure you do from now on). For the redirects, the alternative names are determined by the reliable sources and not the editors. M.Bitton (talk) 15:48, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: I created a new article called Capture of Oujda (1641) and added attribution Fleettask (talk) 20:18, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Judging by this edit, I think you misunderstood what I meant by attribution. All it means is that when you translate an article from wp.fr or copy content from another wiki page, you need to specify that in the edit summary, such as "translated from url of article" or "copied from title of article". If you create a new article that isn't based on another, then you obviously only need to attribute the content itself to its supporting sources. M.Bitton (talk) 23:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: Ok thanks Fleettask (talk) 16:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk page templates

Hi thank you for translating articles from French Wikipedia. When you do this, it is essential that you add a translation template to the article talk page so that the material you create can be properly attributed. This is a requirement on our licensing. You may also add an inter wiki link to the fr.wiki article as well so other editors don’t have to go searching for the original.

You can also add project templates to the talk page of the articles you create if you wish - you don’t need to wait for another editor to do it.

Please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help with anything. All the best Mccapra (talk) 20:03, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
