Have just received this reply:

Dear Mr. -----,

Thank you for advising me on how to comply with the GNU Free Documentation Licence. Pleased be assured that my staff will systematically follow your instructions, ensuring that each page that uses Wikipedia content includes the proper links and text. We are using your "bar" example as our model.

We will be correcting roughly 20 pages a day, and all of the necessary corrections should be completed in next several weeks. Today we've corrected 38 web pages including all of the unique facts for Europe - which also contain the links you mentioned: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Europeweb/factfile/Unique-facts-Europe36.htm and http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Europeweb/factfile/Unique-facts-Europe3.htm

We appreciate your patience, and the wonderful service that Wikipedia provides to our site and so many others. It's truly amazing how your project has evolved in just a few years - and we're sure that the best is yet to come.

Best,

Brad Sheppard, Jr. President - Sheppard Software www.sheppardsoftware.com

I calls that a resounding success. I will reply to Mr Sheppard with some short further advice on GFDL compliance. Case closed, I believe. —Vanderdeckenξφ 10:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"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 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)

  • 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)[reply]

The article named above seems to be the exception on this site. Looking at some random articles did not find any further copies from Wikipedia. Therefore, rather than someone with legal knowledge, one of the authors of the original article needs to take this up.
Use of the name "Wikipedia" is a matter for the foundation, not editors, but appears to be simple confusion between the term "wiki" and the registered trademark "Wikipedia". SpinningSpark 13:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 AT comcast.net. This email address has been used by User:Waya_sahoni. The web site itself is refered to at Merkey/Gadugi/Waya sahoni's new wiki, wikigadugi.org. Also see: [libelpedia.org]

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)
