Ok, I know this has probably been addressed 100 times, but I can't make sense of it all. I am created a directory site for my state (New Mexico). I would like to use wiki information about each city on the site. I don't want
to
include the whole articles (mirror like). But I am quoting verbatim
text.
Questions:
- If I include several paragraphs from the text in my website, does my
entire site need to be licensed under the GFDL or just that page, or
just
the "text" versus the layout, links, etc.?
- What is an appropriate link,citation? I have heard or ready that I
must
link the history page of the document.
- Any question that I should be asking, but don't know to ask :)
Well, anyhow. I have read all the reusing content stuff on wikiepedia
and
I understand 70% of it, but want to get some more input
An example or what I am thinking of doing is at: http://newmexicodirect.net/other-nm-cities/artesia/ The majority of the quoted text is near the bottom of the page.
Also, if you have links to other discussions on the subject, I would
love
to see more. Thanks in advance.

- None of the text you write yourself has to be under the GFDL, only the
text that you quote.
- Linking the article page should be fine, since the history page is just
one click away from there anyway. You can link the history too if you want.
- You probably don't need to have a copy of the entire GFDL on your site,
as you could easily assert fair use and you'd most likely win, but if you really want to comply more than you need to, you should have a page with the GFDL and link to that everywhere you quote something from WP. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
