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

First standard letter sent by Kwekubo 20:40, 29 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

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)

  • 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]

I see "stateuniversity.com" is globally blacklisted at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist . I am adding this entry here as they look to me like an extensive collection of copyright violating wikipedia-derived content. No attributions, no GFDL, and they claim, obscurely, that content is copyright "Net Industries" and obtained from a printed, unnamed, source. Examples are everywhere. http://encyclopedia.stateuniversity.com/pages/21768/Ted-Turner.html and wikipedia's article on Ted Turner are obviously connected.

Until this entry, neither stateuniversity.com nor "Net Industries", nor "Cambridge Encyclopedia" were listed in Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks.See also http://encyclopedia.stateuniversity.com/collection/1/Cambridge-Encyclopedia.html. "Cambridge Encyclopedia" has a lot of obvious copyvio'ed biographies. 84user (talk) 14:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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)

Article history shows content back at least as far as 2007, whereas the domain was registered in 2009 with the same content – so no question of who was first. The website has a "get involved" page, which asks readers if they have any relevant "content that [they] would like to contribute to the site" – this maybe the source of the duplicate content. This issue must, however, be dealt with correctly. At the time of writing, there are reports that the subject of this biography has died and we must treat this with respect. matt (talk) 19:26, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Travel Goa

[edit]
Travel Goa
URL http://books.google.com/books?id=4CObR5YkAjUC&printsec=frontcover

Travel Goa is an e-book published by MobileReference for use on mobile devices. The URL links to Google books' incomplete copy. A complete copy has to be purchased from a commercial supplier.

Description
Sample p.748 contains a substantial amount of text identical to that in a section of an earlier version of Wikipedia's article Architecture of India. The supposed earlier date of publication (2007) of Travel Goa does not indicate that the Wikipedia text was copied from it. The text and images common to Travel Goa and the Wikipedia article comprise apparently independent contributions by several different Wikipedia editors at different dates starting from March 12, 2007.
Rating Medium, judging from the Google books copy. Precise degree of compliance is difficult to evaluate without buying a commercial copy
Compliance The licensing information provided on p.1188 acknowledges that material from Wikipedia has been used, and that this material is licensed under the GFDL, although it also wrongly implies that this material is also "public domain". However, it also asserts "all rights reserved" over the work as a whole, whereas the GFDL requires that the whole of any modification of a work licensed under it—which is what this is—must also be licensed under the same licence or a substantially similar version.

A copy of the GFDL licence doesn't appear to be included anywhere in the publication, as required by the terms of that licence, although a link to an on-line copy of the licence appears to be provided with the licensing information. The licensing information includes an apology for not listing all the authors of the Wikipedia material, and asserts that these can be seen "by following the hyperlink at the bottom of each article". As far as is possible to tell from the Google books copy, such links do appear regularly throughout the the publication, but it doesn't appear to be possible to use the Google books copy to check that these links work and do in fact point to the proper articles.

T. S. Monk

[edit]
Legacy
URL https://theloniousmonk.store/pages/legacy
Description I suspect that this has been copied and pasted in both directions. The T. S. Monk Wikipedia article was, itself, a copyvio of the subject's (old) website (link) until 2007, when the article began to take its current shape. There was an intervening copy-paste from that site ([23]), but it had since been mostly edited down to something more original. Now I suspect that the above URL's content has been copied from this Wikipedia article; it is dated 2019 but mirrors text that has been in this article for a while.

One paragraph added to this article in 2017 was promotional in tone ([24]), I thought it had been copied from the newer website, although it seems to predate it. Someone had already removed the most egregious portion and I just removed the rest; the paragraph in its entirety currently appears on the newer website.

(Archive.org doesn't have any captures from the old website since 2017, and, when I checked today, did not have any versions of the new website.)
