[edit] Skwik

• Site: www.skwik.com/wiki/
  • Example: [6] taken from System of a Down
  • The site is content-wise basically a pretty poor rip-off of the band-entries from en.wikipedia.org. Most band descriptions originate from here, sometimes 1:1, sometimes just the beginning sentence. Images are not copied or linked from wikipedia.
  • There is no link either to the GFDL or the original Wikipedia article present, no mentioning of Wikipedia at all, including the disclaimers.
  • I have send an email to info AT skwik.com and informed the site's webmaster of this violation of Wikipedia's license. --Johnnyw July 9, 2005 16:03 (UTC)

We'll edit the site to comply with GFDL requirements and we'll do our best to give credits to Wikipedia. We also do our best to contribute content to Wikipedia."

[edit] SmartPedia

• Site: SmartPedia

(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)

• Status changed to medium compliance. Kwekubo 15:33, 20 Jun 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)

• • Update - site is 404.

[edit] TheBestLinks.com

• Site: www.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 AT 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. [13] [14] -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:43, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

They are certainly spammer fighting for some pageranks more. They put advertisement in the front of the text. But they do state (in tiny letter) that it is a Gnu document and then back link to wikimedia (not wikipedia)--Alexandre Van de Sande 13:43, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

And the last update was september 2004 :( — Ilyanep (Talk) 18:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Scratch that, but it definately hasn't been updated recently (my userpage on their site still features my long deleted picture) — Ilyanep (Talk) 18:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Link to our Main Page
• No link to individual article
• Example:http://www.typeencyclopedia.com/ency_help.asp?t=Dolly_the_sheep

• Opps! They are in full compliance after all (link to individula articles is under "This article"). --mav 14:07, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] TYPEsyria.com

• Site: TYPEsyria.com

(bizarrely, they have a copy of our Jordan disambiguation page! Amongst other content.)

• no link to article
• no link to GFDL. Standard letter sent by: MB 08:01 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
  • no response received as of Jul 18. Will contact via domain name administrative contact arasa AT emirates.net.ae. Does anyone know what country .ae is? Does anyone know of a translator program, or know the language of this country? MB
    • Sounds like United Arab Emirates. Guessing from their location, I'm guessing they speak Arabic (perhaps a different dialect, but I doubt it), like all the other countries around there. There should be a lot of English too. dave
    • .ae is the United Arab Emirates, and the main languages include Arabic, English, Persian, Hindi, and Urdu.
• Looks like typesyria is down, but typenetwork.com still has several coppies of Wikipedia, including almost the entire site typeencyclopedia.com. It uses a very old, outdated version of Wikipedia. LDan 04:09, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)

• No link to original wikipedia article
• No GFDL link
• standard letter sent by LDan
• The same network as typesyria.

Wikipedia printable version

• Links to current Wikipedia article, but not at the stable URL (not a clickable link either)
• No GFDL link
• I think we should send the developers the standard letter - I already submitted a feature request and mentioned this issue on their mailing list; no response whatsoever. It is very important that the printable version is OK per our copyright since that is a nice clean HTML copy of an article. --mav 10:46, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
• Works now. :) Martin 14:27, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
