Then I realised THEY HAVE TO REFERENCE WIKIPEDIA ON EVERY PAGE per the GFDL. Holy mother of crap! I don't want to read an article on how good JewWatch or whatever it's name is and then see on the bottom of the page "Original article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". I feel dirty....................

But keep watching stormfront.org, so you can enjoy the complaints about how their MW setup difficulties are clear evidence of Brion's collaboration with the international Zionist conspiracy. :-)

Wikipedia is released under the GFDL so even they can use "our" content. It will probably stop them vandalizing as they'll be too busy with their own wiki. But I do agree that using the name "Stormfront Wikipedia" should not be allowed. It shouldn't imply any connection with Wikipedia or MediaWiki.

I was just going to write a polite email to the head honcho over there reminding him that they cannot use the wikipedia name for copyright reasons and that they have to reference wikipedia per the GFDL.

However, I wonder wether sending them an email reminding them of these two things is a good idea, it might sound as if we encourage it. Anyway, if it's done someone more influential than me should perhaps compose it (although I wouldn't mind doing it if people wanted me to), but I am thinking perhaps that the best way to go is ignore the whole thing and hope that they forget about it. --gkhan _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
