Help to add a new language to an article

Hi there!

I've translated an article from Persian into English and I want to publish it. However, Wikipedia says that publishing translations is limited to experienced users.

This is the translated page (in English): Draft:Public Voice

And this is the original article (in Persian): آوای مردمی

Can you please help add the English translation as another language to the original article?


Thank you very much! Hobabe.shisheh (talk) 22:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Hobabe.shisheh, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, just because an article exists on a different language version of Wikipedia does not mean that it meets the English Wikipedia's content guidelines, and in particular, it seems like the draft has large amounts of uncited text, which is problematic (especially when discussing living people). Verifiability is one of the core policies of Wikipedia, and it seems that the independent sources cited do not verify most of the article's content. I would recommend waiting until an active AfC reviewer takes a look at your draft for more thorough feedback; unfortunately I personally have not had much time to contribute to Wikipedia recently. eviolite (talk) 00:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks eviolite ! Really appreciate your input. The reason for few independent sources is that really there are very few English sources for the content. Can I use the Persian lanuage sources to further support it with sources?
Since there very few English sources for this band, this Wikipedia entry could really help them being more recognised for their work in New Zealand now that they have settled in this country. Would you be so kind to introduce me to a colleague of your who could potentially review this? (or can I ask you to please review this if you find some time as it is a short one, would sincerely appreciate it). Hobabe.shisheh (talk) 04:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
@Hobabe.shisheh: Sources in other languages are allowed, yes. I and many other AfC reviewers do not take review requests, as it would be unfair to other drafts waiting in the queue and because we are all volunteers. eviolite (talk) 17:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
