[Foundation-l] Baidupedia copyvio collections

[Waerth]

The Chinese government official will take your letter. Translate it for 
his colleagues and they will have a big laugh over it in the Karaoke 
joint later that night. Having dealt with officials in that country and 
the whole region here. They couldn't care less about it.

>> Hi,
>>
>> We Chinese Wikipedians are now collecting Baidupedia articles which were
>> copied from Chinese Wikipedia.
>> http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E7%99%BE%E5%BA%A6%E7%99%BE%E7%A7%91%E5%B0%8D%E7%B6%AD%E5%9F%BA%E7%99%BE%E7%A7%91%E7%9A%84%E4%BE%B5%E6%AC%8A
>> You may click the link above to see how many they are. (We put "Featured
>> articles", "Good articles", "DYK and other general articles" in groups.)
>> Baidupedia users not only copied from zh.wp, but also from ja.wp and en.wp.
>> I think we could now do the evidence collection works first, and I hope the
>> list could be useful if one day the WMF takes some action to Baidu.
