Request Edit - CC-BY English Text

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Sefaria has English translation of this text, presented in parallel to the original.

We have both:

Midrash Tanhuma-Yelammedenu, translated by Samuel A. Berman,
and Midrash Tanhuma - Buber, translated by John T. Townsend

Both were published by Ktav, and released into the commons with a CC-BY license in exchange for Sefaria compensating the publisher.

I believe that a link to this would fall under section 2 of WP:ELYES.

I have a COI (I work for Sefaria). I have discussed it on WikiProject:Judaism and it has been adjudicated and resolved favorably atCOIN#Sefaria_requested_edits.

Links should probably be to both Midrash Tanchuma and Midrash Tanchuma - Buber

Since Altamel has answered your requests before, I believe it would be best for them to answer this one too. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:24, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LevEliezer, are there any posts on Sefaria about Ktav releasing the books? I found a similar announcement for Talk:Sefer ha-Ikkarim, and thought it would be useful to leave a note for posterity. Altamel (talk) 23:29, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Altamel, your question makes me realize that we don't have an announcement. We should. The best I found was a recent note saying that we put it up, but not that Ktav released it. Let me see if I can remedy that. LevEliezer (talk) 12:32, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Spintendo: I'm going to re-open this. There was support for the change, but Altamel wanted to have some backing that Ktav released these versions into the commons. They did, and I have legal documents that attest to that, but it wasn't reported online. Unfortunately, in the back-and-forth, this request wasn't implemented.

Still - the English language texts are up on Sefaria, and Wikipedia users could benefit from having them linked from this article.

Links should be to both Midrash Tanchuma and Midrash Tanchuma - Buber , as they are both quite relevant, and different from each other.
