No that's not what it would mean. It would mean that if a Spanish language source is used on an English language page, we should quote that source in Spanish, and not quote it using our OWN translation. As editors we should not be creating publications, only quoting publications.

IF the text is that mportant to English speakers then there should be or probably will soon be, a erifiable English language translation *not* created in-project, but rather by reputable author publishing just such a translation. his would mean that only English-language references are acceptable n en:wp, which is of course false. Your statement takes a useful idea no original research), extrapolates it until it really obviously reaks, and then puts forward the broken version as a good thing. You appear to be mixing up policy, guidelines, practice and how you ersonally think things should be, without distinguishing which you re describing at any given time; this leads only to confusion. d. _______________________________________________ oundation-l mailing list oundatio...@lists.wikimedia.org nsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
