  • 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)

Knowledgerush

  • Links to local copy of GNU/FDL
  • Names Wikipedia and links to source article.
  • Does not have "title page".
  • Several articles copied, hard to say how many. Tualha 19:00, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Looks like everything with the possible exception of orphans and semi-orphans to me. Andre Engels 17:33, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • No history section. Medium compliance. Uncle G 11:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

KnowLex

  • In en: and de:; I only really looked at the former.
  • 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!!! -- Toby Bartels 04:38, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)


KnowledgeGeek

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]

Compliance This site currently presents itself as a new, unedited Wikimedia Foundation wiki
Contact info 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@comcast.net.

Rating Low/None
Compliance The sample page is a blatant grab of Wedgwood, Seattle, Washington (maybe not the current version, and they stripped the footnotes, but I immediately recognized User:GoDot's plodding prose.) - Jmabel
Contact info They link to a page at http://www.livecityguides.com/Home/ContactForm/tabid/454/Default.aspx. They are pushing it "Advertise with us", but I can't see why a different sort of message couldn't be left. - Jmabel
Actions Nothing so far

My guess given that they direct comments to a site with a more generic name is that they've done the same not just for other places in Seattle but for other cities. - Jmabel | Talk 00:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
