Andrey Kulakov moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Andrey Kulakov. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and it consists of machine-generated text. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BerryPulpy (talk) 17:53, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

- Hi, Anonymous9012. I don't quite agree with the exact reasons BerryPulpy sent this to draftspace, but I do agree it needs some work. Translating an article from another Wikipedia can be a great way of starting a new article, but there's a few things you should be aware of. For starters, whenever you make an edit to Wikipedia, you're responsible for it. Yes, even if you're translating content from the Russian Wikipedia! Other Wikipedias may have different content standards than the English Wikipedia. Not better or worse, just different; you have to make sure the article is written in a neutral way, you have look at the sources (make sure they're reliable and that they back up the article content), before you translte. Also, on the English Wikipedia, there's a longstanding belief that an unedited machine translation (a translation mostly done by a program like Google Translate) of a foreign-language Wikipedia article isn't very helpful to our readers. They often have errors, they're hard to read, and they may use awkward phrasing that misleads the reader. It's important that translations are done by human editors competent in both the original language (Russian) and English.You also really need to properly credit the original authors, especially for copyright reasons. That means, basically, paste the URL of the original Russian Wikipedia article in your edit summary whenever you make a new translation. This is really important!I know this seems like a lot of rules and stuff to throw at you, so it's okay if you don't get it all at once; if you need any further clarification, please do ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse! It's our help forum for new editors, and the people there tend to be pretty good at answering questions about our policies and guidelines. Good luck!

Non-attributed translations
[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from ru:Š”Š½ŠµŠ³Š¾Š², ŠŠ»ŠµŠ³ to Oleg Snegov. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, 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. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Reconrabbit 19:20, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
Please do not replace citations with bare URLs
[edit] Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Vladimir Bratilov! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:
Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.
which displays inline in the running text of the article as:
- Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.
and displays under References as:
- ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool, or in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. The article about Vladimir Bratilov already had a book citation that referred to a Russian book source, although the destination of that citation's web-link appear to go to a pay-wall or is blocked. While providing an alternative URL for the publication is helpful; replacing the citation is not. It is possible to amend citation templates to add in extra information, which I have done for this article. You might like to look at the improvement I made to incorporate your bare URL into the citation. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:55, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
