I'm curious: why isn't a copyright notice displayed at the bottom of each article, stating the copyright owners of the material?
Because the copyright owners is often a very long list. The notice: "All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. (See Copyrights for details.)" is displayed, and that's pretty much all that is practical. Another link to the history page might be good, I guess.
Perhaps this could read something like:
"All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. (See Copyrights for details and History for contribut[ions|ors].)"
I hope we can get to the point where referencing the article itself is enough both for the copyright notices and the attribution(s) - refer to other thread.
