Direct and indirect quotation

In your Draft:Kuo Ying-Nan, we read:

“As long as people know that this song is from The Amis of Taiwan and is sung by my wife (Igay Duana) and me, then we’re cool with it", replied Guo Ying-Nan.

Thanks to the quotation marks, this will be interpreted as a direct quotation. However, what the cited source actually says is:

In the beginning, the Kuos were only asking for recognition as the original artists: "All I want is for the people of the world to know that part of the music they hear is performed by the Ami aboriginal tribe in Taiwan and the singers are Kuo Ying-nan and Kuo Hsiu-chu," Kuo was quoted as saying in the United Daily newspaper.

So what you presented as a direct quotation was not a direct quotation. It's fairly faithful to the original meaning, and you could instead have used it in an indirect quotation, such as:

Guo Ying-Nan commented that as long as people knew that this song was from the Amis of Taiwan and was sung by his wife and himself, then the two of them would be cool with it.

(However, the idiom "be cool with" is hardly in a register generally thought suitable for an encyclopedia.)

I don't know about the conventions of written Chinese. In written Japanese, the distinction between direct and indirect quotation is vague. Even in the English of two centuries ago, it was fuzzy. But in today's English, the distinction is very clear. When writing for Wikipedia, please be careful to observe this. -- Hoary (talk) 22:46, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 19:45, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
