Can we use material from Wiki Classical Dictionary? Is that site a part of Wikipedia, or is it like the Orthodox Wikipedia, with some material being copyrighted? The article in question is actually posted on a different site, but WCD was given permission to publish it on their site.

See http://www.ancientlibrary.com/wcd/WCD:Copyrights - it's very heavily copyrighted, and NOT copyleft.
Okay, I'm confused now. Is that site a part of Wikipedia, or are they just using the Wiki engine?

It has nothing to do with Wikipedia. They just use the same software (http://mediawiki.org), as do thousands of other sites (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sites_using_MediaWiki).

No. It says 'Material submitted retains your copyright, and cannot be used elsewhere by anyone except you.' Therefore no one is licensed to use their pages.

Hmm...I wonder how they do 'each contributor retains copyright' if anyone is free to edit?
Couldn't you say that by editing someone's work, I am building a derivative work of their copyrighted text? Also, which part of the article is copyright to whom, and how long would it take to find that out using the history for large articles?

Yes, it would probably make more sense for them to say that the site retains copyright, but then licenses out each contributor's contributions back to them free of charge or something.
