The attached email highlights an article from English Wikinews which has been translated into German and published.

It's all fair and above-board; they've credited Wikinews (with link to dewn), and as I say in the attached, there's absolutely no reason why the translation couldn't be cut and pasted from there into German Wikinews.

Considering the English version[1], I'm not too sure what the stance of German Wikinews contributors is on fair use; I've assumed the video is © someone in the EU, and use it in its entirety via a local upload.

The consensus among English Wikinews contributors is that - if our "Exemption Doctrine Policy" doesn't currently cover this piece of media, we should promptly amend it so that it does.
