It appears this is what happened: The site at http://www.bikevillage.it/index.php?pg=51&shn=57 copied the text from the Italian Wikipedia page without citing it (so they are infringing on copyright by not complying with the GFDL).

Since they directly translated it into English, it is a derivative work, and therefore also released under the GFDL (note: translations are copyrighted).

So copying the translation would be allowable if you note that the text is a derivative of the Italian page (in the edit summary is fine), this way you comply with the GFDL. This was a complicated case and I appreciate you following through with it. -- Austin512  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  16:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

It appears the new content you added is a new translation, although I don't think it is actually necessary now (see above). The original translation wasn't the greatest, so keep up the good work. -- Austin512  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  17:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
