Joanne Eicher moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Joanne Eicher. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and it has Copyvio issues. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it 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. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:19, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Grauman's Chinese Theatre into Mary Pickford. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Translating articles from other languages

Hi, when translating articles from other languages, you must also take care to translate the references. At Beat-Sofi Granqvist, the references are currently completely filled with Finnish acronyms ("s.", "nro") and notes ("luettu", "Kansalliskirjaston digitaaliset aineistot", "Verkkojulkaisu"). Ljleppan (talk) 04:46, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As a question: if you are using Google Translate to translate the articles, how are you verifying the translation matches the references? Ljleppan (talk) 04:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. I translated the references (except the titles, so people will know they are in Finish.) I’ll have someone who knows Finnish verify the translation, I was just assuming Google Translate was doing the job well enough. Caravansera (talk) 15:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Marie

Please note that disambiguation pages like Marie are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 00:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks sorry. Caravansera (talk) 19:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
