Hello, Setergh!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Hello! Thanks for creating the draft. While reviewing your work, I noticed some minor issues and wanted to bring them to your attention. Kindly note that Wikipedia relies on sources. You need to provide references for everything you add. Also, Instead of listing sources at the end, you should add them in the text so that anyone can verify that information. If you require assistance with citing your sources, please refer to WP:CS.-- Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 08:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Can you add citations to two paragraphs that are missing them at the end? Ping me when you do so and I'll publish your work, all that's missing IMHO are those citations for those few sentences. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.
The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
.Thanks again, and happy editing!
Theroadislong (talk) 17:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from pl:Bitwa pod Pińskiem to Battle of Pinsk. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires 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 an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing Polish Wikipedia article at [[:pl:Exact name of Polish article]]; see its history for 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 must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Feel free to reply with any questions, or check out the Wikipedia:Tea house.

Setergh, the article Battle of Pinsk, which you translated from Bitwa pod Pińskiem, has a couple dozen external links in the body of the article that link directly to articles on Polish Wikipedia. Per WP:NOELBODY, these are not allowed, with rare exceptions. Please use wikilinks to equivalent articles on English Wikipedia, where such exist. In the following examples, please replace the values on the left, with the ones on the right:
[[:pl:Janów_(Białoruś)|Janow]]
⟶ [[Ivanava]]
[[:pl:Kosów_(Białoruś)|Kosow]]
⟶ [[Kosava, Belarus]]
Where an equivalent article does *not* exist on English Wikipedia, you may use template ((interlanguage link)) instead (or its abbreviated name, ((ill))
) as in these two examples:
[[:pl:Byteń|Byten]]
⟶ ((ill|Byteń|pl|v=sup))
[[:pl:4 Rewolucyjny Pułk Warszawski|4th Revolutionary Warsaw Regiment]]
⟶ ((ill|4th Revolutionary Warsaw Regiment|pl|4 Rewolucyjny Pułk Warszawski|v=sup))
(but, see below about proper noun translation, *before* replacing this one)After you have done those, there are about 18 more external links in the article; please fix them in the same way.
Note that when translating a proper noun in Polish, it is not like translating running text; in the latter case, it is normal if ten different translators come up with ten different ways, all essentially equivalent, of expressing a sentence from Polish Wikipedia in English. That is okay. But it is not okay for translating a proper noun. If the proper noun is a subject that is studied and written about by historians in English, then it is important to use the English words they use, not words we choose from our knowledge of the two languages.
As an example, consider the first example, which you translated as "Janow". But English Wikipedia uses Ivanava for this, so that is the term that should be used here, regardless what automatic translation may say. Now consider the last example, where Wikipedia does not have an equivalent article: 4 Rewolucyjny Pułk Warszawski. For this, you chose "4th Revolutionary Warsaw Regiment" as the English term. Are these your words, or did you find that phrase in an English book or journal? Because if there are reliable sources about this regiment in English, then we have to use their words, not ours. You have to look into what title is used most commonly in English sources. For example, Davies (2011) calls this the "4th Red Regiment of Warsaw Hussars" on page 40, unless that is referring to something else?
These are the things you have to think about in translating proper nouns. It is not so much "translating" a proper noun, as it is "finding the equivalent term"—that is, finding what English historians call it. So in the last example above, we should replace the first parameter with the English name of the regiment with whatever your research finds is the common name for the regiment is in English. If there is disagreement among sources, pick the most common one, or the one by the most reliable historian, if there are very few examples to be found. Does this make sense? Adding 7804j, Piotrus.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Battle of Byteń, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zarzecze. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for your contributions to Yaroslav the Wise's attack on Brest. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:19, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
