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. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. Chenzw Talk 08:33, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copying articles from English Wikipedia[change source]

You have been copying some pages here from English Wikipedia, but without doing the necessary changes. The language needs to be simplified, and you need to change the categories to categories that we use here. Please stop creating articles, templates, etc. until you are more familiar with the requirements here and adapt the ones you have already created. These pages might be helpful:

I am going to move the ones you already created to your userspace for further work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:05, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please stop creating new articles until you work on the ones you have already created. You can find them in your userspace at Special:PrefixIndex/User:Europeanfret/. Read the pages that I linked above to learn more about how to adapt articles for this Wikipedia, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. Thanks --Auntof6 (talk) 09:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but "Handball at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament" was directly copied and pasted from the main English Wikipedia. Please do not do that. Such articles are usually too complex. They need to be simplified before or immediately after being added to the Simple English Wikipedia. In addition, be sure to include attribution on the article's talk page. Thank you. Please stop creating unsimplified articles here. When you bring an article here from another Wikipedia, you must simplify it and make other changes so that it meets the needs of this wiki. Auntof6 (talk) 10:55, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
