Christian PETIT, I have deleted the page you created, Henri Marius Petit. It was clearly a translation of the text at e-monumen.net. The article fr:Henri-Marius Petit was twice deleted from French Wikipedia as a copyright violation of the same page when it was at this address, but it looks as if no one informed you of that. I note that you also have a copy of that text on your French Wikipedia user page, fr:Utilisateur:Christian PETIT; that is also a copyright violation. Wikipedia cannot have copies of other people's words. Only very short quotations, clearly marked with where they are taken from, are permissible. This applies also to translations. If you wish to make an article about Henri-Marius Petit, you must use your own words and give references to your sources. To help you to understand, I will repeat this message below in French; please excuse my French.
Bonjour Christian Petit! Je repète en français, prière de m'excuser les fautes. J'ai supprimé la page que vous avez créée, Henri Marius Petit. Il était évident q'elle était une traduction du texte qui se trouve à e-monumen.net. La page fr:Henri-Marius Petit a été supprimée deux fois de la Wikipédie francophone comme violation de copyright (droit d'auteur) de la même page quand elle se trouvait à une URL précédente, mais il paraît que l'on ne vous en a pas apprivoisé. Je vois qu'il y a en aussi une copie à votre page d'utilisateur, fr:Utilisateur:Christian PETIT; il s'agit aussi d'une violation de copyright. Les copies des mots d'autres ne sont pas admissible dans les sites Wikipédie. Seules les citations très brèves, avec de claires indications de leurs origines, sont permises. Cela vaut également pour les traductions. Si vous voulez créer une page au sujet d'Henri-Marius Petit, il est nécessaire de l'écrire vous-même, avec des notes d'identification des sources.
