b) in the attribution language is essentially intended to refer to any
alternative online copy that has all the same key characteristics as
Wikipedia. Wikipedia includes a list of all authors (through its page
history), so any alternative online copy that we accept as a link
target should also do so. I'm not suggesting that they need to list
the authors in a different format - is the wording unclear here?
