Translating from Wikipedia articles
(CC, as "accepter".) Thank you again for having created the article that's now titled Kidai shōran. But actually creation here meant that it was translated from the Japanese article on the same subject, which was largely the work of. As explained here, the fact that it was a translation from a Wikipedia article is something that should have been made clear at the time. If you do any more translating, please bear this in mind. (For related information, please see Help:Translation.) Thanks -- Hoary (talk) 22:25, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
