[edit] SCA wiki

  • Site: SCA wiki
  • Link & mention of GFDL
  • No link to/credit given to wikipedia article; only a generic notice: "some of the initial information in Cunnan was taken from the Wikipedia but has been, or will be rewritten to make it relevant to people interested in medieval re-enactment"
  • Example: [1]
    • As this is another wiki it is hard to control what other users put in. There is a general directive on the Village Pump to credit all wikipedia articles appropriately, and there has been a recent effort by several users to track down and tag such pages when they have become apparent. Even considering that the citation here was not appropriately credited, I am not entirely sure why this was listed as a low compliance site when there were both links to wikipedia and GFDL.

It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Archaeology"" with offsite link to the GFDL and link to the original article. However, it also says "Copyright © 1995-2006 ScienceDaily LLC — All rights reserved". Normally, I would ignore this as a meaningless error; however, the terms of use say "Permission is NOT granted for reproduction of any of the content under [...] Encyclopedia" and "Such third-party content [referring to the encyclopedia] is subject to their own separate copyright restrictions and may not be reproduced or transmitted in whole or in part without the express written permission of the respective copyright holder(s)." which is clearly contrary to the GFDL.

(Upgraded from low compliance)

  • Apparently only Wikipedia content
  • No mention of any copyright other than:
Some contents copyright 2004 QuotesPlace.com. All rights reserved world wide.
at the bottom of the pages.
  • No mention of Wikipedia
  • No mention of GNU/FDL
  • No link to original article

First standard letter sent by Kwekubo 20:40, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

As of May 31, Smartpedia now says in small type at bottom:

"This document is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), which means that you can copy and modify it as long as the entire work (including additions) remains under this license.
GFDL | SOURCE"

GFDL links to the gnu.org text, and SOURCE links to the Wikipedia article, but there is no actual text credit given to Wikipedia.

On the main page: "Smartpedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation." Someone going to write them? This is not only a cheek, it could also get us into legal trouble. -- stw (Talk) 20:48, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Their version of my user page modifies the template I use at the top of my page ({{userpage}}) that links to the original contained here so that it replaces "Wikipedia" to "Smartpedia" and breaks the link itself. - Lucky13pjn 20:00, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
    • In fact, they replace "wikipedia" by "smartpedia" almost everywhere. Their version of wiki is at http://www.smartpedia.com/wiki-sb.html, and they claim that "the English-language Smartpedia is, by far, the world's largest wiki; the German-language Smartpedia is the second-largest, while the other Smartpedias fill many of the remaining slots". -- Aleph4 17:44, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Update as of September 30, 2005: They still link to the source article and the GFDL as described above, but they also still havent changed the whole "Wikipedia" → "Smartpedia" thing. - Lucky13pjn 15:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TheBestLinks.com

Description of the site: uses modified MediaWiki software to serve up an unmodified current-version English Wikipedia article database. The visual appearance is slightly different and a bar near the top lists some of the first few links in the article. They have added some special pages for popular pages, new pages, and a "quick index", and have added them to the sidebar. They have also added the ability to add links and discussion to the bottom of articles (blog-style).
This mirror I would say is noncompliant. The GFDL is linked, but there is no indication whatsoever that it's Wikipedia material, much less a link to Wikipedia or the article. The authors therefore receive no credit. The creating company's contact is info@innovateit.com, but I have not contacted them. Deco 19:27, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
They mirror everything! Down to the User space! Hell, they have a mirror of this discussion. [10] [11] -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:43, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
