Books & Bytes – Issue 55 The Wikipedia Library: Books & Bytes
Sent by MediaWiki message delivery on behalf of The Wikipedia Library team --12:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC) About reliable sourcesHello. You dismissed my draft because there were no reliable sources: Draft:Roman temple of Augustobriga I made some changes but I just wanted to ask you something, since I'm kind of new in creating articles and get easily confused by things I don't understand well. I read all about reliable sources in Wikipedia help, and I think the sources I use are probably the most reliable existing (or at least available). I really wouldn't know how to prove my information with better papers than that. But since my article is about a Spanish manument quite unknown and there's hardly anything about it in English (except for some rough mentions), I wonder if "no reliable sources" could mean "no reliable sources because I understand no Spanish so I can't check them". I make this question because I just created another article about a historical Spanish character, using even historical original sources, and someone else rejected it for the same reason. Nevertheless, the Spanish version for both articles was approved no problem. That's why I wonder if the problem is the language or the source, because if the problem is the language then there's nothing I can do about it, reliable sources are in Spanish and not in English. Also, most of the information comes from the same source, so I could either insert tons of references, most of the to that same source (often even to the same page), but I thought that would be clumsy and not helpful, so apart from a few references, I created the section "Main Source" and gave full detail of it, even using a link to an online version of the article hosted on an official page. I thought that could be useful for anyone wanted to expand on the article or check its sources, and at the same time avoiding pestering the reader with usless duplicated references. But I don't trust my opinion here, since I'm not a savvy in Wikipedia and I want to learn what course of action is considered the correct way in Wikipedia, so I can correct this article and also keep it in mind for the future too. By the way, thanks for revising my article in the first place. Wikichap33 (talk) 20:09, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations! I meant to review, but obviously it wasn't needed ;) - Today we remember the 150th birthday of Max Reger, who saw the horrors of a world war right when it began in 1914, while others were still in high patriotic moods --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC) Guild of Copy Editors March 2023 Newsletter
