Talk:The Redemption of Ham

Not a copyvio

 * Message copied from user talk:RHaworth

Greetings, It has come to my attention that the article I wrote for a painting called The Redemption of Ham was deleted on grounds of copyright infringement. This link was provided as reference for the alleged original creation: (The specific pin has since been deleted, however you can find similar ones here with the very same badly translated text).

The link redirects to a pin-style image-board with some text provided in English which resembles the one presented on my article. The text in specific is actually a software's procedural translation of Wikipedia's very own article, in Portuguese, for the painting. You can see the article in question here: pt:A Redenção de Cam.

I had taken the original article, properly translated it (which explains the alleged copyright violation), provided the International Phonetic Alphabet's pronunciation, added new text and references (which represented roughly 50% of the actual article deleted), and reformatted every reference and layout element so it would meet the English Wikipedia's html. Given that Wikipedia's Creative Common's license applies to all of it's language platforms; at no point was the pin owner of the text provided, given that translation is considered derivative work and thus tied to Wikipedia's free distribution license (unless direct permission is provided). At no point was the author of the pin entitled to the creative rights of the text provided, ergo no copyright was violated.

Presenting this I would like to see my article restored. Thanks in advance for your time and your service. Bathtub Barracuda (talk) 23:32, 29 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Barracuda, you need to learn how to format links: internal, inter-wiki and external. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:28, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
