[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from Meir Nir to another page. 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. Sample wording for this is given here. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution must be given retroactively, for example:
NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit; see Repairing insufficient 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. Thank you. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:53, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note, Bobby. I initially wrote the article in Hebrew (מאיר ניר) and then translated it into English (Meir Nir). Do I need to provide attribution to myself as the writer of the original article in Hebrew? Juststreamit (talk) 03:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, because you weren't the only contributor to the article, see Special:History/he:מאיר ניר. There's nothing wrong with it, you're just giving yourself more credit, really. This is also important because the number of steps in the previous article, it is best practice, yes. If you need help with the template, feel free to let me know.
