You might want to add it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks so that it's kept track of and I know some users have done some great work at getting mirrors taken down through the process there. I also passed it along to our legal team who's looking into it.

Thanks Mark and Mike
Mike, well done on finding the "About"! I looked for it and could not find it.
But surely saying that "Most of the contents are licensed under CC-BY-SAhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/" is not a licence to copy the entire Wikipedia wholesale, without as much as a mention thereof?
Is there a mechanism to deal with this sort of thing? Where can I refer it to for action?
Regards,
Rui

It looks like a direct scrape, even to the extent of having some

(many) unauthorized mirrors that don't properly credit the source of

content.
The English Wikipedia keeps track of such sites here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CC-BY-SA_Compliance

Dear All
I came across a site called Golden Map, which has an encyclopaedic collection of articles that are the same as in the Wikipedia, but I
don't
see anywhere any information expalining what the association/
permission
is. Is there an agreement in place for this?
Look - for example - at this page on the Wildebeest http://en.goldenmap.com/Wildebeest
Best regards,
Rui
