I have a copy of the history and would be willing to extract the list of authors and put it on the appropriate talk pages, if that'd satisfy anyone.
I've got a copy too, though somewhat fragmentary since I got it back when the export function had a 100-revision limit. I don't recall ever making any substantial edits to the page so I've got no direct personal interest in the matter. I'm mainly just upset at the inability of compromise to "stick" even when it's mandated by the license we're using this material under.
The license mandates that the authors be listed in a section entitled History, not that you keep a redirect to the page which contains the full edit history. If you'd like me to create an appropriate section entitled History on the pages where things have been copied I can do that, but I seriously doubt it's going to stick.
Anyway, the info is at [[User:Anthony/DBC]]. Move it somewhere, link from the talk pages, and at least the "spirit of the license" or whatever you want to call it can be fulfilled. Although, the special characters didn't translate right. Someone should look into that. I nominate you, Bryan.
