Under the GFDL you give consent to relicense your changes. This means
whomever is the last editor of an article is the "Author", not the
whole chain of editors to that point since subsequent editors are simply
relicening your content when they add their own edits. By editing and
saving the article, the final editor is the author in this sense.
The GFDL and Wikipedia's posted policies state that Wikipedia must be
given attrbution to comply with the GFDL. Your website is then listed
in the "Mirrors and Forks" as a BAD WEBSITE if you do not. Wikipedia
cannot give consent to use "Wikipedia" since it does not own the
trademark, the foundation does.
