Riding on Proton by Afonchenko
Transwiki to Wikibooks? Essay written in the first person, about a personal experience. Fascinating, but nonetheless... BD2412 T 02:00, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: If this is just a translation of the Russian page, isn't it a copyvio? &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed it is - I had foolishly assumed that, being in the first person, it was translated and posted by the author! BD2412  T 13:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I made the translation. I thought that translating this article from a language which most readers of the English Wikipedia would not know, would be acceptable. Sorry. I thought that it was clear that I was not its author, since my name is not Afonchenko. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard 00:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Only the author of an original work can release it for publication somewhere (even a translation). It is no difficulty to delete, however. BD2412  T 01:07, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
