@JJMC89: Hello, I spent some time adding the section that was removed. Can you please restore it to this talk page or my sandbox- somewhere I can go through it. In that way I can see what the problem was. Thanks! Lightburst (talk) 00:46, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
No. Copyright violations are not permitted anywhere on Wikipedia. It was copied almost word for word from the The tower of the lantern [...] February 17 , 1879 paragraph at link above. — JJMC89(T·C) 00:53, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
@JJMC89: I see what happened. That paragraph was actually put on Youtube from the French Wikipedia. Not the other way around. I used the opening sentence from the french wikipedia and insured that it was not a CCI issue. So perhaps you can restore it after you check that out?

Ok, so the issue is that you not provide attribution for the source of your translation as required by the French Wikipedia's CC BY-SA 3.0 license. I have unhidden the history, provided the required attribution, and added a notice about it above. — JJMC89(T·C) 02:26, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
