Example article: [6]; 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

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)

Third example

[7] from Jack Abramoff. No GFDL notice, no mention of Wikipedia. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:00, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth example

[8] from Bona fide purchaser. No GFDL notice, no mention of Wikipedia. "Copyright © 2005" is a link to the Wikipedia article. Robert A West 03:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This site is violating GFDL. No attribution, no link to Wikipedia. Links to Wikipedia from main page

  • Some links to Wikipedia
  • No mention of source/GFDL
  • seems to be under construction

Moved from main page Davelane 22:58, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC) This was deleted by 212.174.228.10 (Removed Klasikoyun.com site has an attribution in the main page) I've restored this as I beleve they are not in compliance -- if you disagree please move to disputed. --Davelane 16:32, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Site is down now, I'll delist it soon (feel free to do it if I forget). Rhobite 20:29, Feb 16, 2005 (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)

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)

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. 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: [stalkerpedia.org]
