[Wikipedia-l] Another copyright question

[Julie Hofmann Kemp]

Hi all --

Verlag Bautz, a German printing house, has a totally cool website, the
"Kirchenlexicon."  It invites contributions, but is also clearly marked
with a copyright (2001).  My question...are direct translations of
entire articles, even when credited, fair use?  I'm pretty sure that
they are not -- I know they wouldn't pass muster at the university copy
center...


Opinions?
