I happened on this site
using Wiki-en mathematics articles. Pleasant enough reading some of my stuff there, but they make no reference I can see to WP or GFDL.

I see that reference to the source is in fact buried in their Terms of Use page

I love when sites like that stick "all rights reserved" copyright notices on the bottom of every page out of sheer habit (or maybe it is malice - the Terms of Use page says it again way bigger at the top above the GFDL info).

Also notice that the notice at the bottom of every page just says "Copyright 2005 MathDaily.com", without mentioning the GFDL. Obviously they're entitled to hold copyright over their headers and sidebars, but are reusers allowed to bury the GFDL notice like that?

Take a look at [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks]] and [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]], which recommends a small notice and link back to both the wikipedia article and a copy of the GFDL on every article. I guess the link back satisfies the requirement for author attribution.
[[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/GFDL Compliance]] makes it look like no one has sent a first letter to MathDaily.

Charles Matthews gets to write the polite request, since he has copyright over much of the content in question ;-)
