Details Neither does this site reference Wikipedia in spite of being a complete mirror, it also claims independent copyright on all content on Wikipedia in its own name. A rather bizzare word substitution is employed to avoid a "Google Search" of content.

[edit] ArticleHead.com

  • Site: ArticleHead.com
  • Very recent, apparently almost complete mirror, utilising categories. No mention of Wikipedia, no mention of GFDL, claiming their own copyright. I've sent a first warning notice. --195.11.216.59 13:50, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • I see GFDL and backlinks at the bottom of every article page; either you didn't see them (because they don't appear on the category pages?) or your warning was instantly effective. ←Hob 17:36, 2004 Sep 6 (UTC)
The latter - I received the following email:
"Thanks for keeping me informed of my obligations. The following changes have been made:
a) on article pages, the note information at the bottom of the page is automatically expanded.
b) on article pages, the footer information at the bottom of the page has been changed from
"Articles and category structure on this site have been graciously provided by Wikipedia. Please consider donating to their cause."

      • On further inspection, they hide the notice. You can view through clicking Notice+. I am moving to medium.
    • How can this be even considered medium compliance? I clicked on the Notice+, and get this:
This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from Wikipedia: Wiki entry.
When I click on Wiki entry I get http://www.articleshead.com/#, and not a link back to the original article. When I click on the GNU FDL link I get the page from http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html . But there is no mention of the GFDL or the correct copyright notice unless I click on Notice+, surely this is non-compliance? -Wikibob | Talk 17:48, 2005 May 22 (UTC)

They replied (from admin/Nominet%NOMINET AT nominet.org.uk), claiming this does not count as trading and that there was no "paid advertising". I replied objecting to this assessment, as it is obviously wrong. Superm401 - Talk 23:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Details Without images, no mention of Wikipedia or the GFDL. With images, there is a single rectangular image with text "The wikipedia content included on this page is licensed under the GFDL." The entire image is a link (redirected) to the original article. There is no link to the GFDL. Even if there were a link to the GFDL (which must be "reproduced" somehow), using an image is a violation because text-only users (like Lynx) are shown the page but not the mandatory GFDL notice (Section #2). Contains all Wikipedia articles (though only biographies are indexed) and other materials. Mirrroring is badly done and not all wikitext is processed. Includes advertising.

Below moved from main page... Davelane 21:39, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The site http://www.eurofreehost.com/ appears to be a mirror of Wikipedia; each page claims to be under the GFDL but I found no link to Wikipedia on either a random article (http://www.eurofreehost.com/co/Compulsator.html) or the main page. Also, no Wiki source seems to be available, specifically violating the intent of the GFDL as I see it. Finally, the pages have no link to the text of the GFDL. I've sent a more-or-less standard complaint letter (although I didn't claim to be delighted to see another out-of-date broken mirror of Wikipedia) but it was taken before I made any major contributions, so if someone with more seniority would like to take over, that'd be great.

Phatnav's pages still claim copyright. Straight mirror of WP content. Makes near fraudulent claims (they copy some of our pages that say "content provided by visitors to this site", further implying content is theirs). I can still see no GFDL or WP links, pages imply they are owned by PhatNav.

This is just about the worst possible violation (straight copy / adding ads / claiming copyright / not crediting authors) and given that they have not responded to previous letters, I propose we escalate according to standard protocol (please drop me a line if you want to work with me on this one).

[edit] Quickseek.com

Uses subdomains to incompetently mirror Wikipedia articles without rendering the markup. Quickseek copyright notice, no Wikipedia or GFDL mention. Appears to be intended as search engine spam.

Examples:

update: They appear to be a live leech, delayed a few minutes. Replaces all mention of ‘Wikipedia’ with ‘QuickSeek Encyclopedia’. They copy the Wikipedia: namespace, but not the User:. Low compliance. Chris Chan {t|c} 12:20, 29 April 2006 (UTC) update²: They appear to be running Mediawiki, and be editable. However, there is no easily accessible edit link, and they are not a live leech. They appear to be using a copy of all articles from 15 Feb 2006. Still low-compliance. Chris Chan {t|c} 12:28, 29 April 2006 (UTC) update: They have a "Wikipedia" phrase in black on their main page, but no link, and not the Wikipedia logo. They also claim to be associated with the Columbia University Press. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Here's some more fun: Look up Bob Dylan on both QuickSeek and Wikipedia. Same content. Now, look up Wikipedia on both. The self-referential link here is kosher, of course. However, look at the one on Quickseek: It's completely blank. Looks like there has been some half-hearted effort to scrub their site of references to Wikipedia. 66.187.233.202 19:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

This one has come up on IRC today, but contact info is hard to get. I think more warning e-mails have been sent after thorough hunting around, but this is lower than low compliance, infact the "all rights reserved" bit puts it at just about nill, and the removal of all wikipedia references makes it lower yet. MichaelBillington 10:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, Copyrights "are theirs" but editrights aren't. Think about it: this may be of questionable legality but it's completely editable, and not exactly a *real* encyclopedia. It ain't moderated (that's for sure), so why not get some benefit out of their wrongdoing? Based on the good-faith assumption that it's within legal limits, I'd condone mass vandalism of the site, although I probably won't be doing it myself. --Utopianfiat 18:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Update: I've sent a GFDL violation notice citing Senpai as the "proof" or whatever. I'm going to wait two weeks (the 18th is an important day, so I hope I'll remember) before I notify Rackspace just in case this guy is just misled. If he doesn't respond in 2 weeks, I think it's safe to assume that even if his intents are not malicious, everyone's lives would be better without search engine spam. --Utopianfiat 19:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
