Paola Barbato

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with [LINK your edit to ], as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Basing an article on the English Wikipedia on its foreign language equivalent is not acceptable under these policies, since that is circular sourcing.

In addition, while I laud your ambition in expanding the topic's knowledge to other languages, it's not a good idea to do this if you do not have a command of the target language, as much of the material in the English article is incomprehensible. There is also the problem of the translation barrier. I do not understand, for example, how how can have "screenplays" for comics, since comics do not have screens. Comics writing is done in the form of scripts, not screenplays, at least in the English language.

If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks, and Happy Holidays. :-) Nightscream (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
