 * Salim Barakat ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from . Large initial excerpt from a six stanza poem. This is complicated by the fact that the editor who added it claims that it is their own translation work. See mention at the Teahouse.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 05:16, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Editor informs me that they are attempting to clear this problem up with a release under "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported and GNU Free Documentation License" but as I read the copy of the release they sent me, I don't know that it can be considered valid. I'm happy to leave the final decision up to OTRS, but my understanding is that an excerpt from a translation, as a derivative work, needs a release from both the translator and the original author. If we don't get this settled, I'll need a revdel on my user page.  — jmcgnh (talk)  (contribs) 06:35, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
