Translating
Hi. When translating from other language versions of Wikipedia, such as at Reding Fountain, you need to give attribution:


 * You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary Content in this edit is translated from the existing Spanish Wikipedia article at es:Fuente de Reding; see its history for attribution.
 * You should also add the template to the talk page.
 * For more guidance, see Translation.

 * Hi, Thank your for your comment. I have created the article in Spanish. The English article is my own work too, so I figured it wasn't necessary to attribute. --Dcapillae (talk) 21:34, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. Apologies, I didn't look at the page history for the Spanish article. Whilst there is nothing in Translation to cover this, WP:NOATT, which is part of Copying within Wikipedia, does cover it, effectively saying you don't need to give attribution to yourself. I've already added to the talk page. Although it looks like it's not necessary, it might be an idea to retain it to prevent anybody else querying the attribution.

 * Thank you, Diannaa. I have re-created the article with a new wording. I have modified the content to make it different from the text in the sources and thus respect the copyright. I hope that's enough. It's a very short article with little content. Please feel free to modify it to better fit the conventions of Wikipedia. --Dcapillae (talk) 22:00, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
