There is no link to the GFDL.

• They have started mirroring the whole thing - see http://experts.about.com/e/a/index.htm. They seem to be compliant, albeit in a very discreet way.

• They are putting a "copyright 2006 About.com" on the content--which (in my view) violates the terms. I find this extremely objectionable.Proyster 20:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC) As of the current time, they do not display an About.com copyright, instead: "This is the "GNU Free Documentation License" reference article from the English Wikipedia".

Details	A seeming verbatim copy of all Wikipedia. It does not seem to use remote loading except when it has no copy of the article. In other cases, it appears to refresh a cache occasionally. However, it does appear to load images remotely, which is unacceptable. This should be verified. They are still probably compliant, though attribution info is off-site. Wikipedia used to have its own attribution info off-site until commons descriptions were automatically imported. However, because of the remote image loading alone, I am marking this medium. Also, they are scraping userpages.

• No longer mentioned on the main page, but the article is still there. It is the only article that I saw, and they give prominent credit to Wikipedia -- though no link, no GFDL, etc. Looks like it was posted by one of their users. Let's call it fair use. Not worth pursuing. -Rholton 03:14, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• I'm a member of this alumni, and I don't understand why we are on some list of abusers or something. Many of our members read and contribute to Wikipedia. We think it's a great site and we spread the word about it. Please explain why we are on this list, or remove us. -Abrenna
  • The problem is that your site only says "taken from Wikipedia.com." There is no mention of GFDL licencing, nor are there links to either wikipedia.org or to the article you are referencing. Shinhan 20:47, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Details	Wikipedia pages are clearly attributed to Wikipedia. At the bottom of every page that includes a Wikipedia article, a note such as the following is presented: "This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "New York"." See http://www.answers.com/topic/new-york#copyright for that example. Footnote on front page but not articles: Copyright ©2005 GuruNet Corporation. About GuruNet: online reference library - encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesaurus and much more... Copy of Wikipedia article seen was a much earlier version which suggests that Answers.com may not be able to cope with Wikipedia's "ongoing editing" format. The unsuspecting visitor to Answers.com has no means of knowing this. Nor does this help Wikipedia's image. A mere external link on Answers.com rather than the article in full would be more satisfactory. Portress 19:45, 21 May 2005 (UTC) Well, they might do some kind of fact checking on the article version they mirror. But they should mention the date of the last edit on the article they mirrored and mention that the article could have undergone further changes since then. --L33tminion (talk) 17:56, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC) They have started making "Answer Notes". These are shortened versions of Wikipedia articles (and possibly other content). At least one of them is a derivative work of the below Wikipedia article. This is certain because the first sentence is an exact copy. However, it is not licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. Others are probably also illegal deriviative works. Hence, they are now at medium compliance. I have sent a violation letter. Superm401 20:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC) Rather than license the note under the GFDL, they rewrote it to attempt to stop it from being a derivative work. I suspect that other notes are derivative works, so I'm keeping it at medium. Superm401 18:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Image pages now appear to display copyright correctly. See, e.g., [4]. Are there any concrete objections at this point? Slow mirroring isn't a valid compliance issue, and I don't see any concrete examples of pirated AnswerNotes. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 04:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC) In the Absolute Power page above, the content appears to have been kept up-to-date with our version, including the image, which is also identical. There is a large bar at the top of the page including the Wikipedia logo and name, and their framing of the image looks distinctly familiar. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 20:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC) See also Wikipedia:Tools/1-Click Answers and [5]

[edit] Arkansas Encyclopedia

• Site: Arkansas Encyclopedia

• I didn't see this listed anywhere. It strikes me as very odd. I initially came accross this through a Google hit that led me to this http://lakewoodrepublicans.8m.com/michigan.html. They do state that the text content is GFDL ("All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License."), but there is no link to the license and no link back to Wikipedia and no history. What is really odd though, is that it looks as though the content is actually spread across various domains. For example this entry on Germany: http://beerot.itgo.com/germany.html (which does not even mention GFDL anywhere). Or the "main" page: http://www.geocities.com/arkencyclo/. Seems like every click is a different domain. Bkonrad | Talk 14:14, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The pictures of the article Michigan are not hosted by them but directly form Wikipedia. That is not a nice thing to do. Walter 09:11, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I just examined this site and they're no longer stealing bandwidth, and are now linking the article. I'd move them to high degree. Derrick Coetzee 13:03, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

They mention Wikipedia nowhere. High is not appropriate. Medium? JesseW 15:31, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Mentioning Wikipedia is not required. However, information on authors is, and I couldn't find any. — Kate Turner | Talk 15:34, 2004 Oct 19 (UTC)

• Each article links to the GFDL on www.gnu.org, and to the corresponding article on Wikipedia.

All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.

Source: Original text from the article in Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia: <article name>.

In my book, that puts them at least into medium compliance, which is where I will move them. -Rholton 05:17, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Contains a list at the bottom of every article of (computer-generated) misspellings of the title, each one of which links to a subpage identical to the parent (which contains the copy of the article, of course), probably in order to rank high on Google searches.
• Does not handle the interwiki or category links properly, which causes a load of rubbish to appear at the end of every article (apart from the aforementioned list of misspellings) - see, for example, http://richard-stallman.ask.dyndns.dk/.

• You may freely contribute to this article using the authoring tools provided at the article's source, Wikipedia.org, sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation. In addition, this article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, which means that you may copy and modify it as long as the entire work, including your additions, remains under this license. Iraq Museum International always displays the most recent published revision of the article; all previous versions may be viewed here.
• High Compliance

In addition, the paragraph above includes the article title and a link to the Wikipedia article itself, the GNU Free Documentation License, and to the history of the article on Wikipedia.

A site-wide copyright notice -- which may have been misinterpreted by Wikipedians as a claim on the Wikipedia article appearing on a particular page -- has now been dropped altogether on all the Wikipedia pages. (Wikipedia articles can link to pages protected under US Copyright law, but do comments and sidebars added outside a Wikipedia article on the same webpage count as additions under the GNU License? In other words, if a Wikipedia article appears on a web page and Gore Vidal writes an essay about the Wikipedia article just below it, can the essay be copyrighted?) On the BaghdadMuseum/Iraq Museum International site, where the copyright notice used to be is now the statement: "The Iraq Museum International Open Encyclopedia is offered to the public under the GNU Free Documentation License" with yet another link to the GNU Free Documentation License.

Yes, they're better than most. However, I'd still like to see a direct link to the original Wikipedia article. I think that's reasonable, given how generous we are in interpreting some GFDL provisions(like what's a "modified work", including our copyright notice, 5 original authors, history...). I sent an email asking for a direct link today. Superm401 | Talk 01:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

There are now direct links for the original article, editing the original article, and the article's history. The GFDL link is to the FSF copy, but I don't think that's really an issue. Superm401 | Talk 20:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Superm401 - Talk 23:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC) |compliance=

There are two separate groups of copied articles. Some of them are linked from >http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/ with no mention of the Wikipedia or the GFDL. An example of this is http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/parliament_house_of_commons.shtml. Not all of the articles in the "articles/publish" section are from Wikipedia, but violations are widespread, especially in certain categories (such as Cities and Towns).

A separate mirror has also been created (apparently recently). This is located at http://www.britain.tv/wikipedia.php. An example is http://www.britain.tv/wikipedia.php?title=Philippines. Articles in this section clearly note that Wikipedia is the source. They say "extracted from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia" with a link to the Wikipedia main page; Wikipedia also appears prominently elsewhere on the page.

That particular page rips off content from Limb darkening. There are lots more on that group of sites. No wikipedia credit or gfdl mention whatsoever. Actually the several that I looked at all use Sun-related snippets. Weird.

[edit] Chessbase.com

• Site: Chessbase.com

(article about Howard Staunton)

• link to current version of article, mentions Wikipedia as source
• no link to GFDL (perhaps not needed - very short text)
  • I agree, but we could tell him to put source: wikipedia (under GFDL). wikipedia would link to article, gfdl to license?
  • It's long enough to be copyrighted, so they should probably license the entire thing under the GFDL. Which will be nice, because they have some nice photos we could use. Martin 10:41, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
  • Any more feedback for this? Should we tell them to license the entire article, or just add "(under GFDL)" with a link to the GFDL. The rest of the article is unrelated to the first part about Howard Staunton IMHO, so I don't see how it is even an extension of the Howard Staunton article. dave 18:28, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • I suggest completely ignoring it. We're prominent enough that a link to our article with our name is ample notice that people can reuse that text. Chances are that we're better recognised as meaning open content than the initials GFDL are at this point... The picture of Howard Staunton appears to be a simple reproduction of a work made during his life and given his date of death and US law that means it is now in the public domain and can be taken from their site and used in the Wikipedia. Jamesday 21:05, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
• I don't believe this site should be listed as Low compliance (as it currently is). It may not be a shining example to hold up, but they sure made it clear where the article came from. Anyone following the link would then become aware of its GFDL status. There are better things than this to worry about. -Rholton 04:25, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cookery-Online

• Site: cookery-online.co.uk
• The site uses Wikipedia (and Wikibooks) content about cooking, kitchen appliances, diets, ect (all of their recipes come from Wikibooks). They provide a link to the text of the GFDL at the GNU's site, and to the Wikipedia Main Page, but not to specific articles (and make no reference to Wikibooks at all).
  • I received a reply from Chris Anstey, letting me know that the links have been changed to the relevant articles, and wikibooks content is now properly attributed. Gentgeen 02:32, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• I think I would call them medium compliance overall, slightly higher compliance with respect to Wikipedia, and slightly lower in respect to Wikibooks.
  • Changing to high compliance, after checking the site. Gentgeen 02:32, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Standard letter (modified to include Wikibooks issues) sent on January 5 by Gentgeen

[edit] copernicus.subdomain.de

However, as of 03:33, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC), google seems to still pick them up even with "-wikipedia" added. Strange. JesseW 03:33, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
