We want to quote some contents of a specific term from the wikipedia, and will put a full link to wikipedia page.

I want to ask:

1. Are there any limit on the words that we can quote?
2. Any specical things we need to take care of?

Thanks.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia for information on citing as it applies to academic papers and such. However, Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL; if you want to repost the entire article, you can, as long as you link to a copy of the GFDL and the history page of the article in question (see http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Copyrights#Reusers'_rights_and_obligations for more information that is less prone to error than I am :]).

If you're just posting a few sentences, linking to the Wikipedia article is fine, afaik. Hope that helps.
