User talk:The Moroccan Tea

April 2023
Hello, I'm Hey man im josh. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Shilha language, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Citing sources
Hi The Moroccan Tea. Your recent editing exhibits serious problems that I want to explain. First, in many of your recent edits you copy-pasted a URL to your "source" in the edit summary, instead of adding citations in the article itself. That's not how you cite sources on Wikipedia, please see Citing sources and Help:Referencing for beginners for guidelines on how you should be supporting any new content with sources. This is absolutely essential, as all content on Wikipedia must be easily verifiable, as a previous editor explained to you already above.

As for these edits:, ,. You put the URL to an HCP page in your edit summary, but you appear to insert made-up numbers because that source only provides overall numbers at the national level, not local numbers for spoken language. At best, this looks like what we call WP:OR, which is not acceptable; any numbers must be found directly in the source you cite.

And in this edit, although the information is at the source you linked, appears to be a direct translation rather than a paraphrase, which could be plagiarism and a copyright violation; see WP:NONENGPLAG. When you use information from a source, you need to rewrite it in your own words.

There are other problems with your other edits; please see the edit summaries of the reverts. Generally, the problems is still about citing reliable sources. If any of this seems hard to understand, keep in mind that you can always ask for help on the talk pages of the articles you want to edit. But you do need to respect Wikipedia policies like the ones I linked above. R Prazeres (talk) 23:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
