The wayback convieniently lists all of wikipedias articles. In terms
of GNU Lisense 4.B - what five contributors do you include? what about
"red" and IP editors who presumably write and disappear?
You don't have to include the 5 most important contributors; just 5
important authors. The concept of a title page only makes sense if
you consider Wikipedia as 1 document, in which case just pick 4
contributors from the list with editors with the most edits, and add
Jimbo.
4B is not that problematic. For a case like BJAODN it's 4I that is the
problem: it implies we should credit *all* of the contributers, as they
are all included in the article history (which is how the section
Entitled "History" has to be interpreted, I think, although linking to
the Wikipedia article history, even indirectly through the article on
Wikipedia, was traditionally considerd enough to be
compliant with the GFDL).
