As just to show how impractical - there are 14

title page)
I would dissagree.
In what respect? What warped interpretation of "the text near the most
prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of
the body of the text" do you use so that the previous authors (or at
least 5 major ones) as well as the new author are mentioned there?
The history page.
* C is broken (wikipedia is mentioned on the
'title page', but not
being a formal entity can't be the publisher, that is, I guess, the
WMF)
No WMF is a service provider. Publisher is the author.
Still not mentioned.
On the history page.
* D is trivially adhered to (there are no copyright
notices on
Wikipedia pages, so they are indeed kept)
* E is broken (the copyright notice as required by the GFDL is not shown)
See that notice at the end of the article
That's a copyright notice? It doesn't say who holds the copyright, for
one thing.
So what? No requirement for a copyright notice to do that.
And if it is, then we don't "add" the
copyright notice, but
replace it. Still not good.
Since they are all identical it is a bit hard to say.
* F is
broken only in a trivial way (the permission is shown, but not
after the copyright notices, since they aren't shown)
* G is trivially kept (there are no invariant
sections and cover
texts, so they are kept as far as they exist)
* H is possibly adhered to (the issue is whether having a link is
sufficient to consider the GFDL is 'included')
* I is broken (our history does not include the title or the publisher
of the modified version)
Publisher is the author. Title is the version title.
Author is given as author, not as publisher. Version title is not stated.
Version title is stated. nothing in the licsense says how publisher
has to be labled as such just have to mention them.
