Could you please...
If you started Barishal by cutting and pasting it from the wikipedia, then licensing obligations require you to acknowledge its previous history. At the top of the article you should put the {{wp-cca}} tag. And, on Talk:Barishal you should copy and paste a snapshot of the wikipedia version's revision history. The wikipedia's lawyers opinion is that the legal obligation to acknowledge the authorship of the wikipedia contributors does not require anyone to be specific as to who contributed which parts. Someone copy a wikipedia article has to merely copy the names of all the wikipedians who worked on the article.
I've ported hundreds of wikipedia articles. You can see an example of my acknowledgement of previous wikipedia contributors at Talk:Policewomen of Cincinnatti. I went to the trouble of adding blank lines between each line in my big copy and paste - for readability. I almost always do that. I didn't do that with Talk:Freelancer - but I didn't port that article, someone else did. The ugly and unreadable list does fulfill our legal obligations.
So, could you please take these steps, for any article where you started with copying the wikipedia version?
Who am I? I have been a contributor here since 2012. A few years ago the site owners chose to trust me with administrator powers.
There are much fewer rules here, than at the wikipedia. Wikialpha:CSD is one of rules. Articles can be deleted if they are copyright violations. Should copies of wikipedia articles, where the copier did not acknowledge all the wikipedia contributors be considered copyright violations? Well, yeah, I think they are. Writing this note to you has triggered me to start a discussion with wikialpha's other long time contributors, to see if they agree.

Please be more careful...
You have moved pages to the Deleted: namespace.
Don't do that.
Wikialpha:CSD explains when and how to tag pages for deletion. If you think a page merits deletion, but it doesn't meet those criteria, please open a discussion at Wikialpha:Community portal explaining why you think it should be deleted. Geo Swan (talk) 02:15, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
