Copy?[edit]

User:CommanderWaterford, I bet this is a translation from the German Wikipedia, and the German Wikipedia may have taken the text from Mr. Maaser's website. How to detect, and what to do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, yes but also copyrighted text which has been translated is not allowed. CommanderWaterford (talk) 11:44, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No answer to my question. Yes, I know, but how to detect that what you want to translate was a copyvio? And if you do, what then? Just translate but more freely, or don't touch the topic? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:46, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can check this via Copyvio Tools, for example Earwigs Copyvio Detector which you will find here: https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ CommanderWaterford (talk) 11:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And what does that tool show? That the list of publications is largely the same. So what? Such a list is not subject to copyright. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:29, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
