• 00:4600:46, 22 July 2024 diff hist +408‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Step 11 (crediting the source): provide guidance for the three cases: a) copying from another Simple article; b) copying from an English Wikipedia article; c) adding translated content from a foreign-language Wikipedia.
• 00:3900:39, 22 July 2024 diff hist +173‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps: Conclusion: added a lead-in sentence about the step of crediting of the source being a requirement, and not optional. This is to constrast with the guideline boilerplate at the top stating that "It is a good idea to follow it, but it is not policy"; that does not apply to copy attribution, which, as part of the ToU, supercedes guideline and policy both, and thus cannot be ignored, as even policy can be, under unusual circumstances.
• 00:2800:28, 22 July 2024 diff hist −187‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps: Drop two unnecessary statements from the conclusion (i.e., the paragraphs following the enumerated steps, which should probably have its own header or subheader); they confuse more than they illuminate; GFDL is already linked in the intro, and a link to CC-BY-SA can be added there if desired, but really only the ToU needs to be linked here (it already is) as the ToU explains the details about GFDL and CC-BY-SA if anyone is interested; it doesn't require explanation here.
• 00:2100:21, 22 July 2024 diff hist −89‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Recast a complex statement of denial of assumption contrary to fact: "You might think that X, but actually Y" is a poor way to describe "Y". Recast it in the simple positive as a statement about crediting the source of copied text per the ToU, without worrying about what one might think or not think about X or anything else.

• 23:4823:48, 21 July 2024 diff hist −86‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Drop statement about direct cut&paste not being allowed under copyright law; this does not apply on this page, which is solely about copying from Wikimedia sister projects (such as other WIkipedias) and everything in them is released under CC-BY-SA 4.0, thus full, direct, word-for-word copying of text, or even entire articles, is allowed, given that the required attribution is provided in the edit summary.
• 22:4322:43, 21 July 2024 diff hist −119‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Simplify step 10 about categories; do not need to give detailed explanation of steps already covered better at Help:Categories.
• 22:3822:38, 21 July 2024 diff hist −42‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Consolidate steps 2 & 3: open existing Simple WIkipedia page, or create one; no need to duplicate existing instructions given in more detail at Help:Starting a new page, just link it.
• 22:3122:31, 21 July 2024 diff hist −334‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Drop steps 7, 8, 9 and 10 and summarize them in step 6 instead; these points are already covered at either Manual of Style and Wikipedia:How to write Simple English articles, both of which are already linked here in step 6.
• 22:0422:04, 21 July 2024 diff hist −7‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Step 1: "Open the page on the other Wikipedia ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶r̶e̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶S̶i̶m̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶W̶i̶k̶i̶p̶e̶d̶i̶a̶ ̶" ⟶ "...that you want to copy (or translate) from." It's not just about creating new pages here, it's about *any* copied (or translated) content.
• 21:5821:58, 21 July 2024 diff hist −49‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ Lead: actually, just drop the former section heading "How to properly copy from another Wikipedia". The paragraph already there reads like a lead, so might as well just make it the lead. No section heading needed here, especially not one that is the same as the page title.
• 21:5521:55, 21 July 2024 diff hist −7‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎How to properly copy from another Wikipedia: Change section title (was: "How to properly copy a page from another Wikipedia"). The page title is correct, the section title isn't. (And why are we echoing the title in a section heading, anyway?
• 21:1521:15, 21 July 2024 diff hist +18‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎How to properly copy a page from another Wikipedia: This page is not just about guidance for copying an entire page or creating a new article on Simple, but rather about copying any text content from another Wikipedia to Simple. (Actually, it's about copying "creating content"; attribution is not required for, say, a list of countries, dates of historical events, titles and slogans, or other non-creative content, but this is not the place to get into subtle points of copyright law.)
• 20:5620:56, 21 July 2024 diff hist −230‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Dropped "This should be done by clicking on the Permanent link,... copying the exact URL of the revision used". This was added in rev. 1452852 of 21:36, 26 March 2009, and has been wrong ever since. There is no such requirement in the wmf:ToU; it is fantasy. It doesn't *hurt* to add the revision id if you know how to do that tricky step, but it unnecessarily complicates the already complicated instruction steps, and should not be here.
• 20:4520:45, 21 July 2024 diff hist 0‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Step 16: adjust change summary example to be more inclusive; it is not just about 'creating' an article, but about 'adding text' copied to it at any point. Used wording "Added content" for this, but could use "Made it larger", or similar.
• 20:3820:38, 21 July 2024 diff hist +15‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Step 16: set the example off on its own line as sub-bullet. Balance the punctuation, use <code> font and sentence case for change summary.
• 20:3420:34, 21 July 2024 diff hist −64‎ Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia ‎ →‎Steps required: Step 16: Restore previous wording from rev. 1370285 of 18 Feb. 2009, before it was became confusing and misleading on 21:36, 26 March 2009 in this edit. This fixes unbalanced italic markup, missing example, cryptic bolded 'and' which incorrectly stressed adding *when* you copied it (untrue: there is no such requirement at wmf:ToU § 7). Further adjustments may help.
