If they are and they aren't citing authors, aren't they in breach of the GFDL. And if that's the case, can we sue? Please?
The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't hold the copyrights over Wikimedia content, it is merely a user that must follow the terms of the GFDL like any mirror or fork. Wikimedia could, however, provide financial or legal assistance to the authors whose copyright is infringed in a lawsuit.
That would be fairly hypocritical, though, since Wikimedia itself doesn't even follow the GFDL.
