Copying/translating from other Wikimedia projects

[edit]

"See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects. However, you cannot use a Wikipedia article as reference in another Wikipedia article. If the German article makes assertions, I assume that those assertions are cited to reliable sources. Your English article must cite those references themselves, not the German article. It's perfectly OK if those references are in German. So, you are attributing the German article (because it is copyrighted CC-BY-SA), but you are referencing its sources, not the article, because Wikipedia does not consider itself to be a reliable source." (From Arch Dude on Help Desk.)

Books

[edit]

Handy addition to Google books URLs: "&output=html_text" or "&hl=en&output=html_text" - shows text properly.
