User talk:86.75.160.141

Welcome[change source]

Hello, 86.75.160.141, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your changes. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Sadly, one or more of the pages you started may not fit some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages and may soon be deleted.

There is a page about making articles you may want to read. It is called "How to write Simple English articles". If you need help, please post a message at "Simple talk", where other experienced Wikipedians can answer any questions you have. Or, you can type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will soon answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy changing pages here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will turn into your username and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but an article you created was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex and may have templates that do not exist here. Thank you. Osiris (talk) 00:34, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translating/simplifying whole articles from another Wikipedia takes time, especially if you're new to the process. I usually find it too difficult to take on whole articles all at once. If you need a draft space for working on articles from other Wikipedias, making them simple enough to publish here, you can use my user space -- User:Osiris/workpage or something similar. Or you might want to create your own account so that you can use your own space.

Please note that there are also licensing requirements that must be seen to when copying from CC-by-3.0 sources like Wikipedia. You will need to give attribution. Osiris (talk) 01:10, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I noticed your comment at the top of the draft so I restored your original to User:Osiris/workpage2. Osiris (talk) 01:15, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Might be the User:Osiris/workpage is enough complete for the simple version.

Thanks for your co-operation :) I've moved the workpage you suggested to Byte order mark and put your attribution on the talk page. Do you want to keep User:Osiris/workpage2 to work on further? Osiris (talk) 04:36, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not need for this keep. 86.75.160.141 (talk) 14:35, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
