Talk:Berlin–Hamburg Railway

Copyright violation
This article is a "copy-and-paste" of the German article de:Berlin-Hamburger Bahn without citation of the authors as required by CC-3.0-license! a x p de Hello!  19:46, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

P.S.: To be even more precisely, even in German wikipedia we are forced to copy the list of authors if parts of an article are used to create a new article. It's not sufficient to just have a link to the original page's history, because you can't guarantee this list will be at that place forever! a x p de Hello!  19:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Unless I have missed something, I don't think that is right. WP:C states: The licenses Wikipedia uses grant free access to our content in the same sense that free software is licensed freely. Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed if and only if the copied version is made available on the same terms to others and acknowledgment of the authors of the Wikipedia article used is included (a link back to the article is generally thought to satisfy the attribution requirement). ...which is the purpose of the template above. --Bermicourt (talk) 22:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * But what do you do if the original article is moved and the redirect was suppressed (for what reason ever). That's why German wikipedia insists on having the complete lists of authors copied into the new article, saved and removed again, thus the list of authors is bound permanently to the history of the new article! a x p de  Hello!  09:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but rules on de wiki or other wikis are not really interesting. The here applicable rules are the wp:c guidelines, and this article is totally in line. [I don't go to the german wiki and comment on their sourcing policies (or lacking of sources).] And this talk page is not the right place to discuss your concerns. Ask at the wp:village pump or maybe even at WP:ANI or place a helpme on your talk (thats what I do, if I don't know what to do). Sebastian scha. (talk) 09:44, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Just a moment, we're not talking about copyrighted material of en-wikipedia! Sources of de-wikipedia has been copied to another place, therefore the German policies apply! And since this is the place of the copyright violation, I denounce this fact here as well! a x p de  Hello!  13:48, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * If true this is a major issue as there are potentially thousands of articles translated from de.Wiki, which would now have to either be deleted or have a team of people spending significant time trying to copy the histories across from the point in time that the translation(s) occurred. This is such a serious issue that I am transferring this to the German WikiProject discussion page. --Bermicourt (talk) 16:55, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe this is the best approach, just thought the same! May have wide repercussions ... a x p de  Hello!  22:50, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 15:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Berlin–Hamburg Trainway → Berlin–Hamburg railway – I am proposing that we revert the recent move because the new present title includes the word "trainway" which is not in the Oxford Dictionary of English and not commonly used AFAIK in any version of English. The original title of Berlin–Hamburg railway follows the standard English Wikipedia convention for this part of the world and there is no good reason to change it, certainly not to this nonce word title.
