I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Did you translate word-for-word? If so it's a copyright violation. Marcus Qwertyus 00:03, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a really good point. I am trying to translate it so that it sounds relatively good in English. I don't think that I'm translating it word-for-word, but I am including the same basic facts like population and altitude. Now that you mention it, the entries on the Spanish wikipedia for this municipality are mostly an exact copy of the link. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Ah. Marcus Qwertyus 00:28, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I think they're doing a better job of presenting it originally on the Spanish wiki. I could translate from the pages on the Spanish wiki, I believe that there's a template that I'd need to put on the talk page to prevent copyright violation. Do you know it that's legal?

Questions about translating and not violating copyrights

{{helpme}} I'd like to translate pages into English (and other languages) without violating any copyright laws. If I translate from one wiki to another I believe that all I have to do is include a template on the article's talk page (I have yet to track that down but I know it exists) and include the references from the original article. Are those the only things that I have to do to prevent copyright violation? Thank you in advance!! Lelapindore (talk) 01:10, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes--you just need to attribute the original source. The template is Template:Translated page. Cheers, —fetch ·comms 01:13, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again! Now I can really get to work! Lelapindore (talk) 01:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
