Article from Simple English Wikipedia...

Hello, what you have here is an 1:1 copy of the page at Simple English Wikiupedia. Look at https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Child-headed_family&oldid=8053293 for details as to who edited the page, or what different versions there are. I also don't know if you need a history import (like German Wikipedia did) Eptalon (talk) 20:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Eptalon. Going forward, the easiest way is to specify in the edit summary, when you are creating the article, that it is copied and wikilink to the source article. For example: copied content from [[simple:page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. In this case I have done it here. DanCherek (talk) 20:30, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eptalon, @DanCherek: I went ahead and added Wikiprojects. Are they accurate? It's hard to find one that's active and also pertains to the article subject. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 21:05, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can't really say too much, but would expect something related to aid, to geography; possibly something relating to Africa (I have no idea how prevalent the problem is in Asia, or if it exists elsewhere). We are looking at (ideally, not awlays) teenagers, who need to work, to get funds to feed the family, rather than getting an education; in the case of infectious diseases such as AIDS, it is likely the parents passed on the condition to their children. We might also be looking at one of those overlooked problems (like the diseases that no one develops drugs against, because the people who have the diseases likely won't be able to afford the drugs)?Eptalon (talk) 21:14, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eptalon I've added both Africa and Asia; I remember a YouTube documentary that followed a mostly child-headed family that had parents living in another city. So, in Asia, the problem might come from different origins and be milder, but is still a problem. Other than that, I'm not sure which other Wikiprojects to add.
