I have sent you a note about a page you started (Guan Xiangying)

Hi Toadboy123. Thank you for your work on Guan Xiangying. Another editor, Rosiestep, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

When translating articles from another language WP into EN-WP, editors must abide by these attribution requirements. Though you included the translation attribution template on the talkpage. You didn't include the attribution requirement in the Edit Summary, ergo, signalling that you wrote the content yourself.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Rosiestep}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
