Template:Welcome-translation
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions!
It appears you have translated text from a foreign-language Wikipedia onto the English Wikipedia without the required attribution. While you are allowed to translate articles across Wikipedias, you must provide an edit summary on the page, 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.
