There is a notice that mentions Wikipedia and the GFDL. The whole thing links to wikipedia.org, but there is no history section, link to the original article, or link to the GFDL. Other pages besides "Sharon Tate" appear to be a partial derivation of older wikipedia articles, or, just possibly, some text from them has been uploaded to wikipedia, as I have found exact word for word passages in Jay Sebring and Charles Manson from around 2004 November 8 or later. -Wikibob - Talk 19:32, 2005 May 22 (UTC)
- Note: I've changed this to medium, as both Wikipedia and GFDL are mentioned, and the images are not being ripped off WP's servers.

| Description

formerly xcv.wiki, qwerty.wiki, que.wiki, qaz.wiki and other.wiki: they all redirect to abcdef.wiki at the moment; it may change domain again in the future. It seems to use live machine translations from the English Wikipedia to generate mirrors in 16 languages, without references. Some translations are very poor (e.g. Russian) while others are very good (e.g. Italian). Too many invasive ads, some of which are mildly pornographic.

Off-site GFDL. Javascript required to view mention.
This website formerly violated the GFDL. I am uncertain whether they currently use Wikipedia articles. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/planets/Uranus.htm , for instance, is similar to http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Uranus but I haven't determine whether there's still copying. If you remove this entry, be sure to archive it.
I am one of the creators of this site. The GFDL violation was related to displaying source information inside javascripts. This created problems for visitors who had javascript disabled. The problem was corrected when it was brought to our attention.

This implies that AbsoluteAstronomy has copyright to the content on it's site, but mostly it doesn't. The vast majority of content on the site is copyrighted by wikipedia authors, and licensed to AbsoluteAstronomy under certain terms (GFDL I guess?), which include the right for others to 'publish, modify, and transmit' the content of the site.

Academic Accelerator: The Most Up-to-Date Encyclopedia, News, Review, & Research
| URL
|
https://academic-accelerator.com/encyclopedia/
(That page is identical to the one at https://academic-accelerator.com/, with no mention of any encyclopedia, mostly just a search field of unclear purpose saying "Enter Journal Full Title" and an ad for their scientific publication blockchain (?) thing. You have to go to a specific article to access the encyclopedia.)
|
| Description
|
Apparently a complete mirror, though badly done and apparently disguised.
Articles (at least the Alouette 1 article that I found) are badly formatted with no internal links present in the text (but see below), all text styling removed, lists presented as flat text (including the "See also" and "External links" sections), and subheadings presented as full headings wrapped in equals signs, indicating poor parsing.
Ironically, while they claim to be academic, the References section is completely omitted. So are all categories and infobox content. They add a dynamically-populated "Scholarly Articles" section right below the introduction, though it's empty for the Alouette 1 article, as well as sections of videos (that look like they're from YouTube, and some of which are irrelevant (anime, etc.) that happened to include the word "Alouette") and images (all images in the article, even those used only as icons in navboxes). Images are also shown all combined into one thumbnail at the top. Clicking an image in either place opens a lightbox where you can cycle through them. In all three of those places, the captions are all missing.
In the "Related topics" section at the very bottom of the page, below the videos and images, there is a list of what I guess are the target articles of all of the links from the article, including those in navboxes, in alphabetical order, meaning they've lost their context and link titling. And, because they apparently tried to reinvent hyperlink functionality using scripting and failed, the links don't work, even with scripts enabled in the browser.
They seem to have modified the text in various ways, presumably to avoid detection. For example, the wording "deactivated Canadian" in the first sentence of the Alouette 1 article is changed to "Canadian deactivated", and "Parts used for the construction of Alouette 1 can still be found in the Musée des ondes Emile Berliner in Montreal…" became "The parts used in the construction of Alouette 1 can still be seen at the Emile Berlina Museum in Montreal…", both wordings that, as far as I could tell with a bit of WikiBlame and manual searching, have never appeared in Wikipedia. If you do a simple diff (with an external tool), you'll find many more examples. To do this in so many places in presumably every article, it must have been automated.

No mention of or links to Wikipedia, copyright, or licensing anywhere, even with scripts enabled. Text is modified in ways that look like the goal is to avoid plagiarism detection.
If you point at an image, before opening the lightbox, and look at the target URL your browser displays, you'll see the URL of the bare image (not the file description page), e.g., http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Alouette_1.jpg; it can also be copied from the contextual menu there. That's the only hint of any connection to anything Wikimedia-related.

- Wikipedia pages are clearly attributed to Wikipedia. At the bottom of every page that includes a Wikipedia article, a note such as the following is presented: "This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "New York"." See http://www.answers.com/topic/new-york#copyright for that example.
- Footnote on front page but not articles: Copyright ©2005 GuruNet Corporation. About GuruNet: online reference library - encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesaurus and much more...
- Copy of Wikipedia article seen was a much earlier version which suggests that Answers.com may not be able to cope with Wikipedia's "ongoing editing" format. The unsuspecting visitor to Answers.com has no means of knowing this. Nor does this help Wikipedia's image. A mere external link on Answers.com rather than the article in full would be more satisfactory. Portress 19:45, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, they might do some kind of fact checking on the article version they mirror. But they should mention the date of the last edit on the article they mirrored and mention that the article could have undergone further changes since then. --L33tminion (talk) 17:56, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
- They have started making "Answer Notes". These are shortened versions of Wikipedia articles (and possibly other content). At least one of them is a derivative work of the below Wikipedia article. This is certain because the first sentence is an exact copy. However, it is not licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. Others are probably also illegal deriviative works. Hence, they are now at medium compliance. I have sent a violation letter. Superm401 20:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Rather than license the note under the GFDL, they rewrote it to attempt to stop it from being a derivative work. I suspect that other notes are derivative works, so I'm keeping it at medium. Superm401 18:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Image pages now appear to display copyright correctly. See, e.g., [6]. Are there any concrete objections at this point? Slow mirroring isn't a valid compliance issue, and I don't see any concrete examples of pirated AnswerNotes. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 04:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In the Absolute Power page above, the content appears to have been kept up-to-date with our version, including the image, which is also identical. There is a large bar at the top of the page including the Wikipedia logo and name, and their framing of the image looks distinctly familiar. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 20:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They have a feature called "embeds". If someone links to Wikipedia in a comment, it will have an option, "show embeds". If you click this, it includes a significant chunk of the Wikipedia article. They could argue fair use, but I think it may not be when done on a consistent basis. It has the Wikipedia logo, the text "Wikipedia", and the full URL (which is also a link). However, there is no mention of the CC-BY-SA.

Every page has a Copyright citations section at the bottom. "It says This article is licensed under the GNU License", with GNU license linking to an off-site copy of the GFDL. The next line is " Click here for original article: ABBA". The article name links back to Wikipedia. At the very bottom it says "Copyright 2007, iCubator Labs, LLC, All Rights Reserved."

Nothing so far

- Site: ArtPolitic
- Says that it is GFDL, but links to an explanation page of the GFDL ([7]), instead of the license itself.
- Names Wikipedia and links to source article.
- Does not have "title page".
- Example: [8]

- States that the article is licensed under the GNU FDL.
- Though it links to what looks to be a partial copy or commentary about the license rather than the actual text of the license.
- Does not link to the relevant wikipedia page, but does link to the edit function of the individual page (under the heading "edit this page")

- forum page include some comments on articles and replies from site admins. Reading a few replies, it seems that the admins encourage people to edit articles on Wikipedia.
- The placement of their own copyright notice makes it unclear exactly what they are claiming copyright for.
- I could not find any link to the history of the article nor any attribution of authorship aside from the link to the Wikipedia main page.
- No mention of Wikipedia on the Hindi version.

- Site: [12]
- contains this explanation:
- You may freely contribute to this article using the authoring tools provided at the article's source, Wikipedia.org, sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation. In addition, this article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, which means that you may copy and modify it as long as the entire work, including your additions, remains under this license. Iraq Museum International always displays the most recent published revision of the article; all previous versions may be viewed here.
- High Compliance
- In addition, the paragraph above includes the article title and a link to the Wikipedia article itself, the GNU Free Documentation License, and to the history of the article on Wikipedia.
- A site-wide copyright notice -- which may have been misinterpreted by Wikipedians as a claim on the Wikipedia article appearing on a particular page -- has now been dropped altogether on all the Wikipedia pages. (Wikipedia articles can link to pages protected under US Copyright law, but do comments and sidebars added outside a Wikipedia article on the same webpage count as additions under the GNU License? In other words, if a Wikipedia article appears on a web page and Gore Vidal writes an essay about the Wikipedia article just below it, can the essay be copyrighted?) On the BaghdadMuseum/Iraq Museum International site, where the copyright notice used to be is now the statement: "The Iraq Museum International Open Encyclopedia is offered to the public under the GNU Free Documentation License" with yet another link to the GNU Free Documentation License.
- Yes, they're better than most. However, I'd still like to see a direct link to the original Wikipedia article. I think that's reasonable, given how generous we are in interpreting some GFDL provisions(like what's a "modified work", including our copyright notice, 5 original authors, history...). I sent an email asking for a direct link today. Superm401 | Talk 01:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- There are now direct links for the original article, editing the original article, and the article's history. The GFDL link is to the FSF copy, but I don't think that's really an issue. Superm401 | Talk 20:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Artist biographies
- Example Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artist/nh3n/ a version of the Rolling Stones article; and many more
- Disclaimers at the end of the articles state that "This entry is from Wikipedia, the user-contributed encyclopedia. It may not have been reviewed by professional editors and is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. If you find the biography content factually incorrect, defamatory or highly offensive you can edit this article at Wikipedia" with links to Wikipedia home, the GFDL at gnu.org, and the Wikipedia article.
- Comment at http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/faqs#why_is_the_bbc_using_wikipedia
- We know that many people using our website would like to find out more about artists, and basic biographical information is one of the key things that people expect to find on our pages. We feel that we provide best value to the licence fee payer by concentrating our resources on providing great original content (mainly through broadcast) and making it easy to find that content on the web. Biographies are a standardised type of content that are expected across thousands of artists. Wikipedia offers good quality biographies with very good coverage across artists. There are two good reasons to use this content rather than recreating similar content in-house or sourcing it from a commercial supplier:
- It's available under the GNU Free Documentation Licence, which means not only is there no licensing cost to the licence-fee payer for this text, but it is freely available to all our users to use and share in turn.'
- It's editable by anyone. This may seem like a mixed blessing, but the entire Wikipedia model is a living demonstration that openness to user contribution and amendment tends to improve content over the long term and not vice versa.
- Site: http://www.bestpest.com.au/pest-control-in-hobart.html
- The bottom section is completely copied from Local Government Areas of Tasmania (much of the rest is copied from Lonely Planet).
- No links at all, no mention of Wikipedia or GFDL

This is a mirror as of June 23, 2005 that has apparently had minor forking since then. However, almost all instances of Wikipedia have been changed, even in people's talk comments. This makes it a modified version, and these modifications have not been specifically mentioned on page history. Also, the GFDL specifically states that "The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version." However, the bottom of every page states, "Content is available under GNU Free Documentation License 1.2.", with a local link to the GFDL. With images, it also says "This document originates in his first or later version from the English Wikipedia. You can find it there under the keyword (ARTICLE). The list of previous authors is available here: (link to Wikipedia's history of ARTICLE). ... This text falls under the same license (GFDL). Additions to biocrawler (starting from 23.6.05 will be doubly licensed under the GFDL and CC-by-sa)." Without images, it also has simple links to Wikipedia, the original history, and Wikipedia's copy of the GFDL.
update: as of 04/24/2008, this site was flagged by Google with the verbiage, "visiting this web site may harm your computer!"

- Received apparently form reply that didn't address complaints. It ranted about things like "Biocrawler being a fork, you can edit pages yourself." and "Please edit each page being aware that this is a biological Wiki." The closest it came to addressing the fraud and improper page history was "There is a full detailed disclaimer on every page stating the source of each article, and the history of each page." I replied asking for a direct response to the real issues. Superm401 - Talk 06:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No information about articles being copied from Wikipedia, imposes its own weird license called Biolicense. The site states: "Biolicense is a license scheme to enable human beings and machines to openfreely share information and knowledge for limitless number of purposes. It is a license that tries to protect information and knowledge from being exclusively owned by limited number of classes, races, and economic groups in the world. It also aims to maximize human creativity and entrepreneurship." Also see http://biolicense.org/index.php/Biolicense.net:About The site seems to be a part of some spammer's link farm.

There is a notice that says the content is from Wikipedia and links to a local copy of the GFDL (part of a copyright page). Wikipedia is linked to the main Wikipedia URL backwards (gro.aidepikiw.www//:ptth). A javascript function reverses the link (if you have JS enabled). There is also a link to another section on the copyright page that is meant to tell users how to view the "transparent copy"; it just tells them to go to http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/<PAGENAME> by typing it in. Arguably, XHTML itself is transparent so this isn't necessary. However, it does vaguely help users vaguely find the history section.

At http://www.google.com/blogger_dmca.html, they make it clear that they will consider only complaints sent to them on paper or by fax. Kind of amazing: this is Google, and they provide no online means to complain when they plagiarize. And the wording on that page is very belligerent: "Indeed, in a recent case (please see http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/ for more information), a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the fair use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys fees."
Fax number is 650-618-2680, Attn: Blogger Legal Support, DMCA Complaints. I think someone should follow this up, and also Wikimedia Foundation, who I understand have some working relationships with Google, should ask about setting up a procedure to streamline it when their bloggers plagiarize us so blatantly.
Further examples from Blogspot are listed on the talk page, to document other Blogspot users' WP usage without messing up the format above.

There are two separate groups of copied articles. Some of them are linked from http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/. Examples of this include http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/parliament_house_of_commons.shtml, http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/belly_dance_belly_dancing_music.shtml, http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/george_galloway_respect_member_parliament.shtml, http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/regional_assembly_assemblies_england.shtml, http://www.britain.tv/articles/publish/york_city_minster_yorkshire_england.shtml. Not all of the articles in the "articles/publish" section are from Wikipedia, but violations are widespread, especially in certain categories (such as Cities and Towns). These now say "© Copyright Wikipedia - Under GNU Free License " right beneath the article, in addition to "All rights reserved. Material may not be copied or reprinted without written permission." which is at the very bottom of every page. They also still credit the submitter, such as "By Brian Fox" at the top, where Brian Fox is some disingenuous Britain.tv contributor.
A separate mirror has also been created. This is located at http://www.britain.tv/wikipedia.php. An example is http://www.britain.tv/wikipedia.php?title=Philippines. Articles in this section clearly note that Wikipedia is the source. They say "extracted from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia" with a link to the Wikipedia main page; Wikipedia also appears prominently elsewhere on the page. However, there is no link to Wikipedia or the GFDL, and "Copyright (c) 2006 Britain.tv All rights reserved" appears at the bottom in a graphic.
- As of 00:48, 29 July 2009 (UTC), this second set (/wikipedia.php) appears to be dead.

Almost completely copy and pasted from the Tabitha and Napoleon article here on wikipedia but not written verbatim. It's written in the author's own words but clearly all the information is taken from wikipedia with no attribution at all. It's even in the same arrangement (early life, career, directing, married life) but without the section headings.

The licensing information provided on the "back cover" 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.

Articles state towards top that "Portions of the summary below have been contributed by Wikipedia." but fails to identify the readers rights nor link back to Wikipedia. As an example the sample URL contains content that is word-for-word identical to this diff [24] which I do not believe is WP:COPYVIO. The text at the bottom says that "Content on this website is from high-quality, licensed material originally published in print form. You can always be sure you're reading unbiased, factual, and accurate information." which is wrong as Wikipedia is not published originally in print form.

Identical website at http://www.chemie.de.
- Site: Chemistry Daily - the chemistry encyclopedia
- Seems to have a pretty much complete copy of the WP database - including non-chemistry articles. [29]
No reference to GFDL on individual pages. Instead, line at the bottom:
- The contents of this article is licensed from Wikipedia.org
- Potentially confusing copyright line beneath that. No link to wikipedia on individual article's pages.
- Terms of use [30] are pretty good though, including copy of GFDL license, plus reference to wikipedia.
- Annoying popups and JavaScript.
Example url:
http://mp3player.chesnutz.info/dir11/mp3-player-compact-flash.html
I don't know what the term for this is, but it's basically link spam, they try to attract every search engine match possible to their link pages. That particular page rips off content from Limb darkening. There are lots more on that group of sites. No wikipedia credit or gfdl mention whatsoever. Actually the several that I looked at all use Sun-related snippets. Weird.
(article about Howard Staunton)
- link to current version of article, mentions Wikipedia as source
- no link to GFDL (perhaps not needed - very short text)
- I agree, but we could tell him to put source: wikipedia (under GFDL). wikipedia would link to article, gfdl to license?
- It's long enough to be copyrighted, so they should probably license the entire thing under the GFDL. Which will be nice, because they have some nice photos we could use. Martin 10:41, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Any more feedback for this? Should we tell them to license the entire article, or just add "(under GFDL)" with a link to the GFDL. The rest of the article is unrelated to the first part about Howard Staunton IMHO, so I don't see how it is even an extension of the Howard Staunton article. dave 18:28, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- I suggest completely ignoring it. We're prominent enough that a link to our article with our name is ample notice that people can reuse that text. Chances are that we're better recognised as meaning open content than the initials GFDL are at this point... The picture of Howard Staunton appears to be a simple reproduction of a work made during his life and given his date of death and US law that means it is now in the public domain and can be taken from their site and used in the Wikipedia. Jamesday 21:05, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- I don't believe this site should be listed as Low compliance (as it currently is). It may not be a shining example to hold up, but they sure made it clear where the article came from. Anyone following the link would then become aware of its GFDL status. There are better things than this to worry about. -Rholton 04:25, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Site: chess.go.ro
- All (?) chess related articles
- Link to GFDL (but not local copy)
- Links to www.wiki.x.io but not to corresponding article

- has a policy that articles that take content from wikipedia should credit but not all do. Situation with images worse. However the site is new so it is to be expected they will take some time to find their feet. No action taken at this time.
Geni 01:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, they are now widely violating the GFDL and they explicitly intend to do so according to their founder on their forums. Last I looked, their plans were not yet finalized but they were bouncing between either taking Wikipedia content and calling it cc-by-nc or calling Wikipedia content GFDL and keeping CZ originated articles as CC-by-nc with the explicit intention of using a non-free-content license to avoid any cooperation with Wikipedia (from whom they take a significant amount of content). Their frequent copying of images from commons, even in approved articles, with zero attribution or license data is especially troubling. --Gmaxwell 01:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Where on their forums do they explicitly say that they intend on violating the GFDL? I checked out this topic on the GFDL but I couldn't find what you are talking about. I saw something on CC-by-NC-SA: is that the same as CC-by-nc? Even if it is the same, how does CC-by-nc violate the GFDL? I'm only asking because I don't know. Thanks. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 01:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
-
- I am of course not a lawyer, but it does seem re-releasing GFDL under CC-by-nc might require a day in court at some point. But that may be okay. We don't really know what the GFDL means until such a time, nor the interoperability between the GFDL and any CC licenses. A "day in court" could be a considerable societal good.
- That's reply #3 in above mentioned thread. The idea is then re-inforced several times in that thread, also by Larry Sanger. But it's only one of many alternatives discussed there.

The above sample is a slightly amended and shortened version of the Wikipedia article Bowling machine. No mention is made of GFDL or Wikipedia. I found two other examples: [36], a significant portion of which is lifted, with only minor re-wording, from Hawk-Eye and [37], which consists of a few extracts from Hot Spot (cricket). These pages aren't complete copies of whole articles, but they are clearly derived from them and consist mainly of shortened and slightly modified extracts. At the foot of every page it says "This blog copyright � 2008 Cricket Updates. All Rights Reserved"
