Own words?[edit | edit source]

If we cant use simple English Wikipedia, what can we use? Thanks. Wildkratts19892 (talk) 21:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC) Im hesitate about editing right now. Wildkratts19892 (talk) 21:38, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Notification Wildkratts19892: When we say about writing articles in your own words, it means you can use other sources like the Simple English Wikipedia, but you mustn't just copy the text off their page, and paste it in here. For example, if I find the article on The Hague at the Simple English Wikipedia, I can write about the place using that article as a source for things like how many people live there, what you can find there, and so on, but I can't use the whole text verbatim, in other words, I can't just flat out copy what other people have written. I hope that helps, please don't be put off from editing. Please ask if you need anymore advice :) DaneGeld (talk) 22:29, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
