Question from Milena Buffoni (18:28, 12 May 2024)[edit]

Hi! I'd like to translate a Wikipedia page (a task directly asked me from the owner of the page), but I watched a tutorial and it says that it is a tool available only for who's already made 500 edits and whose account is over 30 days old. The deadline for my task is before the end of this month though, is there some way to translate pages anyway even if I my account is a newborn? Thank you! --Milena Buffoni (talk) 18:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Milena Buffoni Hey. It's a good thing you asked about this. The answer to your question is basically, no it's not possible to use the tool you want to use with a new account. Also, there are some things you need to know:
  1. You need to disclose you are editing Wikipedia as part of a paid job. This is particularly true since your question is going to get archived at some point (hypothetically, this could happen in a few days!). Put a disclosure on your user page.
  2. It's incredibly difficult to write an article. In your situation, it's nearly impossible to write with the clinical tone needed for an encyclopedia. After you put your disclosure on your userpage, you can write a draft at articles for creation. When you are finished with the translation, you can submit the draft for review by a more experienced Wikipedian.
Also keep in mind that each language Wikipedia has different policies that are largely influenced by different cultures; all because the person paying you has an article on one language Wikipedia doesn't mean they're noted enough to qualify for an article here.

Hi, thanks for the informations, but no one is paying for doing this, I’m volunteering to do so, it’s just that I’d need to do it as soon as possible, before the European elections. Anyways, thank you.. 62.19.19.233 (talk) 21:33, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
