Just like anybody else who uses our content: 
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sites_that_use_Wikipedia_for_content

Except all changes are made on Wikipedia - Wikipedia benefits and gets full 
credit.

I you are talking about the way things are done on Wikipedia right now then I 
would have to certainly disagree - Wikipedia has been an astounding success. 

But it still is is in an unstable state - the content will even be more useful 
if checked and certified. This can be done in different ways - it is healthy 
to discuss those.
