I would like the template for every article to be altered, to include
something similar to the following: "This is licensed under GFDL...if

ripping of Wikipedia articles without full copyright/license compliance.

Yes, this is the tricky thing though.  However, my opinion is that this needs to be explicit on every Wikipedia article so that all people who "rip" an article, have a "fighting chance" of seeing it at the bottom/top of the page.  It should perhaps say, "You are required to provide a link back to the original wikipedia article, or a link to up to 5 authors."  The part where it says authors, can be a link to the Page history.  But you are 
To avoid making people stop believing us, we must separate:
* You /must/ release your version under the GFDL; and
* We /advise/ you to link back to the original Wikipedia article.
Shouldn't we say "MUST" link back OR "MUST" give names of 5 authors?  I don't think using "advise" is a smart thing to do...

More comments on the meta page (possibly, if I get to it),

Thanks for your comments.
