Example article: [11]; there are others. DanKeshet 23:29, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Sent first warning for including GFDL notice, as I'm not sure if notice was sent before. Cleduc 5 July 2005 01:49 (UTC)
Second example[edit]
Also Socialite is copied, but without any attribution. Sent notice -- don't know if anyone else has sent them notice before. Not sure, so we'll treat this as first notice. Cleduc 5 July 2005 01:37 (UTC)
- Notice resulted in a "Reference" being placed on the page -- so the source is attributed. However, the GFDL notice is not placed on the page, just like the CPR article. I'm going to follow up with the editor/publisher. Cleduc 6 July 2005 18:23 (UTC)

KnowledgeGeek[edit]
- Knowledgegeek now looks close to compliance, acknowledging Wikipedia as the original source and linking to the GFDL. Do people agree that they are now largely compliant? --Robert Merkel 04:30, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- The site has definitely improved. However, witness all the 'summary' pages one level in from the root page (such as Coffee) still being composed largely of Wikipedia content without any acknowledgement. A sentence or two, lifted directly from Wikipedia is shown in many entries on those 'summary' pages (such as Drip brew, French press, Caffeine, etc. on the Coffee page above) yet you must click through to the full text before a Wikipedia or GFDL reference is made. A reference to Wikipedia and GFDL on all pages with even 'truncated' Wikipedia content (ie, the first few sentences of a bunch of articles) would still seem to be required. Potentially also worth mentioning is that the engine or template system used by KnowledgeGeek is used by StudioReview.com (documented on this page and supported/linked by Mark Coffman of KnowledgeGeek) and as of this writing, StudioReview has a low degree of compliance. I'm not suggesting that the owner/operator of KnowledgeGeek is able to accomplish this, but one wonders if it's possible to add compliance at an engine- or template-level for sites like this which are clearly copying Wikipedia content in huge quantities. Ds13 20:46, 2004 Mar 11 (UTC)
- The remaining problems identified above seem to be addressed now. I would agree that they are largely compliant now. --Ds13 06:50, 2004 Mar 21 (UTC)
- [Homepage of the site has no content of Wikipedia. No disclaimer/copyright information]

- Bottom of each page links to:
- Source article on Wikipedia;
- Wikipedia main page;
- GNU FDL on FSF site;
- Author list (history) on Wikipedia; and
- Edit link on Wikipedia.
OK, so they should have a local copy of the licence.
But they also say "The article can be editted here." and I think that's fantastic!!!

Unsure. The site seems to be such a good copy, it has the disclaimer footer on every page, just like Wikipedia. However, tiny details, such as using a link as a reference, and calling it "What is it with Lardydar Wiki?", when clearly that article has nothing to do with "Lardydar" Wiki. Also, they claim: "Lardydar Wiki® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.", but that is because they have included the footer seen on every Wikipedia page, and simply changed "Wikipedia" into "Lardylar Wiki". Even their Contact us page is identical, leading the user to contact Wikimedia, instead. May be a valid mirror, but I could not find links to Wikipedia. Searching for the article 'Wikipedia' Comes up with the article 'Lardylar Wiki' instead, but they pronounce "Lardylar Wiki" /ˌwikiˈpeːdi.ə/, so... What bothers me most is that they have the "Donate to" Link, on the left, exactly as Wikipedia, and it leads to their Paypal account. Perhaps this is completely legal and valid, but it appears that this site takes advantage of the "feel" of Wikipedia to solicit donations that do not go to the Wikimedia Foundation.

- Sent standard letter to office AT last.fm Superm401 - Talk 05:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Received reply correcting me and noting that there was a GFDL notice, and Wikipedia was attributed on the edit page. Replied that the GFDL must be local, and noting that the notice must visible to readers, not just editors. Superm401 - Talk 15:16, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed having sources visible only to editors was weird. Said he would host a local GFDL. Replied thanking him, discussing Wikipedia's use of external GFDL content, and agreeing that the GFDL was harsh (but noting that this is still easier than real compliance).

The GFDL does not seem to be available anywhere on the site. There are links at the bottom of all pages that purport to explain copyright, disclaimers, and the GFDL, but the links lead to pages that say "(There is currently no text in this page)". Wikipedia is not directly mentioned.
The site has copied various law-related articles from Wikipedia. The example page given above was taken from [22], a 2005 version of our article Settlement (litigation). Only the then–most recent contributor is listed in the history on LawGuru.

The domain registrant name and address (Thomas Archer, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA) are bogus. The address is a USGS office in Menlo Park. The phone number is clearly bogus: Registrant Phone:+1.8005551212. The registrant email is valid and is believed to be actually in use by Jeffrey_Vernon_Merkey, blocked user User:Gadugi, blocked user User:Waya_sahoni, sockpuppet User:67.186.225.152, and sockpuppet User:67.137.28.188 -- Registrant Email:tjarcher AT comcast.net.

Linked post copies some text from beverage can—see article talk page section linked below. No relevant mention of Wikipedia, copyright, or licensing anywhere. Linked post is actually a verbatim copy of an earlier post on a private blog, reported here. Poster probably does not know his post includes Wikipedia content, but must know it's not his content.

List of Birds of South Carolina - Birds of South Carolina Pictures[edit]
literaturemania.com[edit]
- Site: literaturemania.com
- Example: [24]
- No attribution
- No GFDL notice
- No copyright information of any sort, just "ads" about "Discount Pet Supplies" and an offsite link
- Refers to Wikipedia text section as "The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia"
- Appears to be some sort of Project Gutenberg and (non-compliant) Wikipedia mirror
liverpoolcityportal.co.uk[edit]
- Now seems to comply, having used the suggested text I sent them through the form letter. Am going to ask them to see if the copyright notice can be clarified, though. Johnleemk | Talk 12:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- All is in order now. Johnleemk | Talk 17:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Living Lingo: VCE English Language Units 3 and 4[edit]
- Title: Living Lingo: VCE English Language Units 3 and 4
- ISBN: 978-0-980-86231-7
- Authors: Kate Burridge, Debbide de Laps with Michael Clyne
- Printer: Valiant Press, Victoria
- Article: Cane toad
- Compliance: On Page 168, two reasonably large paragraphs from the Cane toad article are printed in the book. The book acknowledges that the article is from Wikipedia, and is in fact listed under the section "The authors and publisher wish to thank the following copyright holders for reproduction of their material". However, there is no mention of CC BY-SA or the GFDL.
- Action: I have not taken any action, since as a student, I am not in a position to do so. Would someone unconnected with VCE English Language be able to take action?
