  • I'm afraid that refers to translating from one Wikipedia article to another; it describes how to avoid license violation. Under the United States law that governs Wikipedia, translations are a derivative work and the right to authorize them is reserved to the copyright owner of the original. In order to translate a copyrighted work into another language, we must have permission, I'm afraid. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since text is English provided originally and nonverbatim by editors with citation to the Japanese, wouldn't this fall under generic fair use for paraphrased content? The translated text does not hold strictly to the Japanese wording. -- Fallacies (talk) 16:20, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even using WP:NFCC as an excuse to include translated contact, it would not pass the "contextual significance" requirement as it does not significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, nor does its omission be detrimental to that understanding. This is just a list or random terms, most of which can already be easily understood in the plot summary. —Farix (t | c) 16:50, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've relisted this because the contributor was not notified. I am not able to quickly exclude copyvio; the first substantial change I've found moves the content away from what exists at that site: [3]. But this doesn't exclude backwardscopy, either, as it might have occurred prior to that date. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:21, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. According to the properties' metadata, that PDF was created on 6 April 2004 by "lynette", so it predates the article. After an adventure through several mirrors of this article and even a book (2007) with the text, I found that much of the article was copied from the old MT63 official website that was taken down a few years back. An April 2005 archive can be found here. Text was taken from sub-pages as well. --NortyNort (Holla) 11:37, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
