Is what Fred is doing even legal under the GNU FDL? All he is doing is
mentioning in the first edit summary where the article came from - there is
no mention of its source in the article itself.
Doesn't our implementation of the GNU FDL require a link-back to the source
Wikipedia article and a mention of the source in the article?
IMO each article that is based on a Wikipedia article should have the
following section at the end:
==Reference==

Generally, yes, but in terms of the actual details, he could probably
use some help figuring out exactly what the license requires. I think
it's sort of complicated.
