Your recent edits

Hey slow down a bit. Those project pages needs simplification, remember this is Simple English not English Wikipedia. Also, ask yourself, are those projects really needed here? What I meant on my talk page about you adding articles are articles with redlinks. If you look at our recent changes admins have placed a special toolbox where you can find the most request pages and the translation of the week. Also please credit the source and use this template: {{Enwp based | url= (add full address here) }}. Best, Jona ^{talk to me} 14:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes to Wikipedia:Article development

I reverted your changes to this page for these reasons:

The text was not simplified.
You added protection templates when this page is not protected here.
We don't need most essays duplicated here. If we don't have anything different for this Wiki, we often use the soft redirects.

Please get to know how we operate here before you duplicate more articles. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 16:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We like and strongly encourage helpful changes to Wikipedia, but an article you created was derived from the English Wikipedia or another Wikipedia. Even a derivative work requires attribution. Attribution must be done or the article will be deleted in time. You may see instructions/guide on how to do this here. Thank you. Osiris (talk) 01:03, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just For Laughs (Gags)

This page has been deleted as a copy paste from the English Wikipedia. This is both a breach of copyright, and unsuitable for this wikipedia as it was not in simple English. Please read our guidelines on creating pages.--Peterdownunder (talk) 06:19, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.I will not copy paste from the English Wikipedia anymore.Receptie123 (talk) 06:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article, work out what it is saying, and then rewrite as simply as you can. There is no problem using the English Wikipedia as the start or basis of the new article. It just needs to be written simply. Then on the talk page you add a comment that this where the page came from. You will see examples of this on many of our talk pages, we even have a template for it. No one will give you a hard time for trying to simplify, but a straight copy and paste will end up being quickly deleted.--Peterdownunder (talk) 06:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
