{{reply-to|Bsherr}} Yes, I'm trying to do that. I'm not yet autoconfirmed so can't edit the semi-protected talk page for the page you've mentioned (trying to make 10 edits so that I get autoconfirmed). Regardless, I do think it's worthwhile mentioning it here as it may be a good idea to add clarity as to which disclaimers (if any) need to be included, in this disclaimers section. I know that personally, I went here first, before I discovered the Wikipedia page on reusing Wikipedia content. --[[User:MarkJFernandes|MarkJFernandes]] ([[User talk:MarkJFernandes|talk]]) 18:14, 13 February 2020 (UTC) |

comment from 2007
I really think this category is a hotch-potch and shouldn't exist. The non-wikipedia disclaimers belong on meta with the other "making fun of Britannia" stuff, the thread disclaimer is not a proper disclaimer at all the others are all at the bottom of everypage and easy to find. Therefore, this category is not useful in organising anything and in my view should go. --BozMo[[userD ?????????????????????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.86.66.49 (talk) 17:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
About Brittany:
We do contest your map of Brittany. The breton population doesn't agree withe the actual administrative limits of our country.
kindly regards.

CC BY-SA 3.0 licence requirements for keeping intact disclaimers
The CC BY-SA 3.0 licence under which many works on Wikipedia are licensed, imposes the following obligation on redistributors of works licensed under the licence:
- You must keep intact all notices that refer ... to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You Distribute ...
- - from 4(a) (in Restrictions section)
After traversing the Wikipedia Disclaimers link, I found that there were in fact six Wikipedia disclaimers (at the time of writing): Content disclaimer; Legal disclaimer; Medical disclaimer; Risk disclaimer; Survey disclaimer; and General disclaimer.
It would be useful for Wikipedia to add some official clarification on whether all these disclaimers need to be included for redistributing CC BY-SA 3.0 material obtained from Wikipedia. Currently, Creative Commons don't seem to make this disclaimer requirement very clear (which doesn't help either).
