Hello. Can you please not move templates? And some of the pages you moved were wrong e.g Republic of Upper Volter was wrongly moved as "Haute Volta". If you're not really sure please don't move pages.Demmy (talk) 12:58, 7 Oṣù Kàrún 2012 (UTC)

Do you speak Yoruba? If you do not then I have to tell you that the articles in Wiki Yoruba must be only in Yoruba and not in English or any other language. I didn't move any templates.--Poarps (talk) 12:57, 8 Oṣù Kàrún 2012 (UTC)

Yes I speak Yoruba. Do you? I created almost all the articles on the wiki and one of the administrators. Anyway I just want to make sure you know what you're doing thats all. You're welcome. If you want to change (i.e move) templates (àdàkọ) from their english names to their proper Yoruba names, edit them first i.e click àtúnṣe and then change the English 'name' to the proper yoruba name. Again you're welcome. Demmy (talk) 15:18, 8 Oṣù Kàrún 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Yes, I learned a bit Yoruba (my mother tongue is Turkish, my second languages are German and English). But it would be good if you create your articles in Yoruba and not in English because you have to move all the articles afterwards. This is the Yoruba Wikipedia, not the English Wikipedia. ;) --Poarps (talk) 15:39, 8 Oṣù Kàrún 2012 (UTC)

Why are you in a hurry to move the articles all at once again? I used English templates to create them because I could easily move and edit them afterward. I do that already. Just move as much as you can and don't try to do them all at once. No need. Demmy (talk) 13:55, 12 Oṣù Kàrún 2012 (UTC)

Hi Poarps! Do you do article requests? There are some articles which I would like to see Yoruba versions of. Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 00:02, 7 Oṣù Kẹfà 2012 (UTC)

I didn't answer you because its obvious you don't know what you're doing. Many of the moves you made were wrong and I had to revert them back. There is nothing like Distrikt Àpapọ̀ Bràsíl or Bràsíl in Yoruba. Move only articles you're sure of their translations. Demmy (talk) 18:29, 12 Oṣù Kẹfà 2012 (UTC)

But you don't lead this Wikipedia correctly either. 90 percent of all articles here are in English, not in Yoruba. In every Wikipedia version, an article has to be in its own language. I wonder how you beacme administrator...--Poarps (talk) 09:45, 15 Oṣù Kẹfà 2012 (UTC)

This is the last warning. I told you before NOT to move a page/template if you don't understand what it means. The english template I use is pretty normal and legal. There are many pages/templates you've moved incorrectly. And STOP putting diacritic on the Yoruba names. You're getting them wrong. I will not warn you again.Demmy (talk) 20:02, 5 Oṣù Kẹjọ 2012 (UTC)


Poarps, It is fine to copy material between Wikipedias; it's not a copyright infringement as long as you indicate where the material came from. Once something is copied, it then needs to be translated; this happens on many (most) language editions of Wikipedia, not just this one. There is plenty of work to go around here and if you are upset about pages being in English, and you speak enough Yoruba to translate them, then I urge you to work on translating the text itself without worrying too much about the titles for now, or adding more text to articles. Thanks for all your contributions. -- Phoebe (talk) 18:52, 12 Oṣù Kẹjọ 2012 (UTC)
