The copyright and disclaimer page says: "The original authors or
creators of content from Wikipedia may be found by going to the
article in the English Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) with the same article name
and tracing content via the page history."

I'm not entirely sure that is enough to satisfy the GFDL. There ought
to at least be a link to the Wikipedia history page on each article,
any that only really works for the online version. Was a lawyer
consulted on this before going live?
