We can't blame Amazon if they take "You should not cite any particular
author or authors" literally. I suspect they've read
they
seem to be complying with the bit about linking to our articles.
Lots of people mirror Wikipedia, or parts of it, is Amazon doing
anything different? If not have we brought this to their attention?

The citation for wikipedia according to wikipedia
would look like this:
James Joyce. (2010, December 3). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
Retrieved 10:24, December 4, 2010, from
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Joyce&oldid=400394336
see
:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Cite&page=James_Joyce&id=400394336
But on the other hand :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia
there is says :
Wikipedia contributors. James Joyce. (2010, December 3). In
Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 10:24, December 4, 2010,
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Joyce&oldid=400394336
So the special page does not say "contributors" there are no links to
the contributors in the citation examples.
thanks,
mike

What really bothers me about it is that there is
no direct link to the
revision history. The authors aren't attributed unless you go to the linked
WP page, and there is nothing that even hints at that.
