Katramarketing

Help me!

Please help me to understand what I have done wrong with my article contribution. There is initial English page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katra,_Jammu_and_Kashmir, and I just translated it to Arabic: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Katramarketing/sandbox/%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7&oldid=718398960 What should I do? It seems my translation is not getting approved.

This is the English-language Wikipedia, and contributions should be in English. Arabic contributions should go to the Arabic Wikipedia.

There is advice about translation at WP:Translate us. Note that when you post a translation, you need to give a link to the source article, so as to provide attribution to its authors. You can do that by putting the template {{Translated page}} (Arabic version ar:قالب:صفحة مترجمة) on the talk page of the trtanslated article.

Your username suggests that you need to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Please understand that Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind, articles require a WP:Neutral point of view, plain facts, no opinions.

I suggest also that you request a change of username at WP:Changing username to make clear that your account represents a single person, not an organization, because organization accounts are not permitted. A username of the form "Ali at Katra Marketing" would be acceptable and would serve to decalre your affiliation.

Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
