In theory, pages which contain Wikipedia material (that was not added to
CZ by the original author) should be marked with a "W" in the page
history. See for example
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Dog&action=history .
Articles marked in this way will have a line at the bottom with a link
to Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, a lot of WP articles were imported into CZ before the
crediting system was written, and there are a lot of unmarked "copyvio"s
in CZ at the moment. It does not look like a priority for CZ at the
moment, as this includes 2 of the 11 approved articles ("Some of
Citizendium's finest.")... [*]
