The following is a '''timeline of the [[2005 French civil unrest]]''' that began Thursday, October 27, 2005. Where the source lists events as occuring in a night and following morning, this article lists them on the date of the night, not the following morning. The extent table in the main article does the opposite.

<!-- Discuss in Discussion first to justify putting this back. * Wendesday [[October 21]] - French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy[http://http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L19243562.htm] announced a crackdown on urban violence and black marketeers on Wednesday, ordering specially trained police to tackle 25 tough neighbourhoods across the country. Sarkozy, who has clearly stated his ambition to run for president in 2007, also announced plans to combat violence in football stadiums, including greater use of video surveillance and bans on hooligans caught on film. "This ... is a totally new strategy to push back urban violence and make life possible in a certain number of neighbourhoods where trafficking and the underground economy have infected daily life," Sarkozy said at the launch of his new initiative. "We absolutely have to re-establish a foothold in these neighbourhoods and obtain results," he said. -->

*# They use image captions without the images. Clever, eh???

*# They remove the original paragraphing so the articles are solid blocks of text.

*# Subhead captions are bigger than article headings.

*# No search function - you have to select from alphabetical lists.

*# Lags behind Wikipedia updates.

** A tear gas grenade was launched into the [[mosque]] of the Cité des Bousquets, on what for Muslims is the holiest night of the holy month of [[Ramadan]].

Speaking to 170 police officers at Seine-Saint-Denis prefecture in [[Bobigny]] (the local authority overseeing Clichy-sous-Bois), Nicolas Sarkozy said, "I am, of course, available to the Imam of the Clichy mosque to let him have all the details in order to understand how and why a tear gas bomb was sent into this mosque." Eyewitnesses also reported that police called women emerging from the mosque "whores" and other names [http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/11/327207.html].

** Day

*** French businesses are worried that the cost of the past 13 nights of rioting that has swept the country could go beyond clean-up to hurt investment and consumer confidence going into the all-important winter shopping season.

I received a response saying the appropriate links, license, and credit were there and that if I could not see them I should send a screenshot. Upon further examination I discovered that the appropriate links only appear if you are running Javascript, which I do not. It is my opinion that this does not fulfill the obligations under the GNU FDL since the terms must be offered to everyone to whom the articles are distributed and if anyone visits the website with lynx or Firefox+NoScript (my setup) they will not receive the information.

They do state that the text content is GFDL ("All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License."), but there is no link to the license and no link back to Wikipedia and no history. What is really odd though, is that it looks as though the content is actually spread across various domains. For example this entry on Germany: [http://beerot.itgo.com/germany.html http://beerot.itgo.com/germany.html] (which does not even mention GFDL anywhere). Or the "main" page: [http://www.geocities.com/arkencyclo/ http://www.geocities.com/arkencyclo/]. Seems like every click is a different ___domain.

===ArtPolitic===

*Site: [http://www.artpolitic.org ArtPolitic]

* Says that it is GFDL, but links to an explanation page of the GFDL ([http://www.artpolitic.org/infopedia/wikipedia-copyright-gnu-fdl.html]), instead of the license itself.

** That page ''(wikipedia-copyright-gnu-fdl.html)'' would be fine, except for the fact that they did not slurp up the correct pages from Wikipedia to make ''http://www.artpolitic.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License'' and ''http://www.artpolitic.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License'' load. Those pages are currently 404'd.

** Not for their Dutch version.

*States that the article is licensed under the GNU FDL.

*Does not link to the relevant wikipedia page, but does link to the edit function of the individual page (under the heading "edit this page")

**It no longer does this, at least not for an not logged in user.

**It now only links to their copy of our article on Wikipedia. [http://united-states.asinah.net/american-encyclopedia/wikipedia/w/wi/wikipedia_1.html] [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 16:46, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*[http://forums.asinah.net/phpBB2/forum38.php forum page] include some comments on articles and replies from site admins. Reading a few replies, it seems that the admins encourage people to edit articles on Wikipedia.

*The placement of their own copyright notice makes it unclear exactly what they are claiming copyright for.

*I could not find any link to the history of the article nor any attribution of authorship aside from the link to the Wikipedia main page.

* No mention of Wikipedia on the [http://india.asinah.net/ Hindi version].

===ask.dyndyns.dk===

* Sample article: [http://article.ask.dyndns.dk/ http://article.ask.dyndns.dk/]

* Acknowledges Wikipedia as source, says content is GFDL.

* Main page seems to be [http://ask.dyndns.dk/ http://ask.dyndns.dk/] which offers search of local content.

===AskMyTutor===

* Appear to be verbatim copies of (old versions of) many WP articles. Have not checked in great detail yet.

* Not a verbatim copy: changes in formatting and links, and not the full article. It should qualify under [[fair use]], being a small extract of the entire article, giving credit to us, and licensing the extract under the GFDL.

==B==

===Baghdad Museum===

*Site: [http://www.baghdadmuseum.org/]

*contains this explanation:

*''You may freely contribute to this article using the authoring tools provided at the article's source, Wikipedia.org, sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation. In addition, this article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, which means that you may copy and modify it as long as the entire work, including your additions, remains under this license. Iraq Museum International always displays the most recent published revision of the article; all previous versions may be viewed here.''

:In addition, the paragraph above includes the article title and a link to the Wikipedia article itself, the GNU Free Documentation License, and to the history of the article on Wikipedia.

:A site-wide copyright notice -- which may have been misinterpreted by Wikipedians as a claim on the Wikipedia article appearing on a particular page -- has now been dropped altogether on all the Wikipedia pages. (Wikipedia articles can link to pages protected under US Copyright law, but do comments and sidebars added outside a Wikipedia article on the same webpage count as additions under the GNU License? In other words, if a Wikipedia article appears on a web page and Gore Vidal writes an essay about the Wikipedia article just below it, can the essay be copyrighted?) On the BaghdadMuseum/Iraq Museum International site, where the copyright notice used to be is now the statement: ''"The Iraq Museum International Open Encyclopedia is offered to the public under the GNU Free Documentation License"'' with yet another link to the GNU Free Documentation License.

===Basic Famous People===

*Site: http://www.basicfamouspeople.com/

*Copies of many of our biographical articles

*As out of compliance as it is possible for a site to be:

**No mention of Wikipedia or our article, no link to any Wikipedia page.

**No mention of GFDL, no link to any copy of GFDL.

**At the bottom of each article: "It is believed that all material on this web site is in the public ___domain." That line is right above the copyright notice. Go figure.

*From the site's main page you can also access [http://www.basiccelebrations.com/ Basic Celebrations], which copies our list of events for each day. This one has a copyright notice with no statement re PD.

The site appears to have grabbed our data a while back. The biography of [[Edgar Allan Poe]] (at [http://www.basicfamouspeople.com/index.php?aid=1530]) is very close to the state ours was in last summer; compare our article as of July 26, 2004: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edgar_Allan_Poe&oldid=5176998]. The Basic Famous People site often drops the bibliography, external links, etc. To get from any one page to any other, you apparently have to sit through a ten-second blinking ad for some gas deal.

I'll contact them about noncompliance. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 03:19, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

:I've sent basic violation letter (by email), with an added paragraph telling them that their "public ___domain" notice on each article is erroneous. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 07:20, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

*A number of articles, such as: http://brandt.kurowski.net/projects/lsa/wiki/view.cgi?doc=338

** I'm not sure who put this here or why, nor do I understand why they didn't email me with their complaint. To the best of my knowledge, I am in full compliance with all requirements for re-use of Wikipedia content. If there is a specific dispute with my compliance, please let me know so that I may either fix the problem or remove the content from my site. --BrandtKurowski

*Each page has a link back to the appropriate page on Wikipedia. He also has a link to our GFDL page. His compliance may not be perfect, but he's certainly making a good effort. I've passed on a few suggestions for improvement. Meanwhile, I'm moving the status of this page to Medium Compliance. -[[User:Rholton|Rholton]] 03:50, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

===BIGpedia===

*Site: [http://www.bigpedia.com/encyclopedia/ BIGpedia]

*No mention on splash page; main page says "The content of this article is licensed from wikipedia.org under the GNU Free Documentation License." but has no links.

-- As 11:45, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Seems to be connected to science fair projects mirror, as there is a large banner advertising it on the site. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] 11:45, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

* Each page now includes "The content of this article is licensed from wikipedia.org under the GNU Free Documentation License." This includes no links to anything. The main page http://www.bigpedia.com/ contains a link "Copyright disclaimer" that leads to a page that includes a "disclaimer" that attributes the text to Wikipedia. Also, there are instructions for locating the appropriate article on Wikipedia. The page also includes the text of the GFDL.

:So, while the situation is far from ideal, there are efforts to comply with the Wikipedia licensing. Thus, this deserves a rating of Medium. -[[User:Rholton|Rholton]] 03:33, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

===www.book-spot.co.uk===

*Site: [http://www.book-spot.co.uk www.book-spot.co.uk]

*Now, at the bottom of each page, it reads: ''This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article <article name>.'' Where <article name> is appropriately filled in. It links to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html and to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, but no link to the actual Wikipedia article.

I find this '''Biography.ms''' operation ''very'' irritating. Their page naming style (e.g. iphicrates.biography.ms [http://iphicrates.biography.ms/]) has somehow caused Google to place many of their (that is to say, Wikipedia's) articles on less-famous persons at the top of their page rankings (?!). Google "Iphicrates biography", or "Pelopidas biography", with and without the quotes. My contributions have been too minor to give me standing to complain so I hope someone will send an e-mail to '''[e-mail]''' with the usual warnings (see [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Standard_GFDL_violation_letter]]). If we get no response, perhaps somone from the Spanish Wikipedia could help? ----[[User:Blanchette|Blanchette]] 04:14, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:A somewhat irritating/somewhat amusing fact: the mirroring is so sloppily done that many of their articles include text of interwiki links, which of course aren't active links, just these weird unexplained strings at the bottom of the article. See, e.g., http://www.biography.ms/George_W._Bush.html with four full lines' worth. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 01:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*We are getting more and more pages marked as copyright violations, because people don't realize that Biography.ms is a mirror. Very irritating. --[[User:Duk|Duk]] 23:47, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

: Run whois on the ___domain name. (Just in case: whois is a UNIX command, some web based whois interfaces are also out there, you might want to google for them.) Then contact the email address that whois returns. Legal issues with a web site are a valid reason to retrieve and contact email addresses from whois databases.

(article about [[Howard Staunton]])

* link to current version of article, mentions Wikipedia as source

* no link to GFDL (perhaps not needed - very short text)

** I agree, but we could tell him to put source: wikipedia (under GFDL). wikipedia would link to article, gfdl to license?

** It's long enough to be copyrighted, so they should probably license the entire thing under the GFDL. Which will be nice, because they have some nice photos we could use. [[User:MyRedDice|Martin]] 10:41, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)

**Any more feedback for this? Should we tell them to license the entire article, or just add "(under GFDL)" with a link to the GFDL. The rest of the article is unrelated to the first part about Howard Staunton IMHO, so I don't see how it is even an extension of the Howard Staunton article. [[User:Dgrant|dave]] 18:28, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

**I suggest completely ignoring it. We're prominent enough that a link to our article with our name is ample notice that people can reuse that text. Chances are that we're better recognised as meaning open content than the initials GFDL are at this point... The picture of Howard Staunton appears to be a simple reproduction of a work made during his life and given his date of death and US law that means it is now in the public ___domain and can be taken from their site and used in the Wikipedia. [[User:JamesDay|Jamesday]] 21:05, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

*I don't believe this site should be listed as Low compliance (as it currently is). It may not be a shining example to hold up, but they sure made it clear where the article came from. Anyone following the link would then become aware of its GFDL status. There are better things than this to worry about. -[[User:Rholton|Rholton]] 04:25, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Seems to be just a reparser of Wikipedia content, using [[clustering]]. Not clear how GFDL complient they are. Please update with more information.

*Originally reported by [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] 21:49, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the person responsible for Clusty's Wikipedia section. Here's a brief overview of what we do. We received approval from "Jimbo" before the site's launch, and we intend to fully comply with Wikipedia policies.

We download the database 1-2 times weekly (whenever it's updated) and parse it with a massive converter. The entire search is indexed and hosted locally. We intelligently index the contents based on inherent Wikipedia features and structure including [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirects]], [[Wikipedia:Disambig|disambiguations]], and [[Wikipedia:Category|categories]]. We also intelligently generate abstracts.

In addition to providing a dedicated Wikipedia search, we also boost relevant Wikipedia entries in general Web+ search results, showing their abstracts (with thumbnailed images) above other search results.

At this time, we only use the English database. As the Wikipedia collections in other languages grow, we may consider including them.

For the [http://wiki.clusty.com/ Clusty Wikipedia tab homepage], we crawl the Wikipedia "Main Page" daily and host it locally. We attribute the page and tab to Wikipedia in a large heading on top of the page.

We respect Wikipedia's limited (and often strained) resources, and try to minimize bandwidth drain. For images, we have downloaded the most recent available image dump (from July). For each image not in the dump, we download it from Wikipedia only once, upon its first request, and serve it to subsequent requests from a local cache.

* Contact me with any questions or comments: [mailto:[e-mail] [e-mail]]

[[User:Marco.org|Marco.org]] 15:34, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)

As far as I can tell (IANAL), what you're doing seems to comply, with the following exception: When you mirror the Wikipedia main page, there is no mention of the GFDL, and no direct link back to the Wikipedia main page.

Note that out GFDL license applies to the text only. Our images include some that are "fair use", "for non-commercial use only", etc. As a reuser, you are responsible for determining if your use of those images is acceptable. I don't know how that applies to your main-page mirror.

As far as the thumbnails in your search results -- this seems very similar to what Google does in its image search. I suspect that you are safe in that use (again, I Am Not A Lawyer).

For the moment, I am leaving your site in the "undetermined" category.

By the way, I ''really'' like what you're doing. -[[User:Rholton|Rholton]] 15:41, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

===Cookery-Online===

*Site: [http://www.cookery-online.co.uk cookery-online.co.uk]

*The site uses Wikipedia (and Wikibooks) content about cooking, kitchen appliances, diets, ect (all of their recipes come from Wikibooks). They provide a link to to the text of the GFDL at the GNU's site, and to the Wikipedia Main Page, but not to specific articles (and make no reference to Wikibooks at all).

**I received a reply from Chris Anstey, letting me know that the links have been changed to the relevant articles, and wikibooks content is now properly attributed. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 02:32, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

*I think I would call them medium compliance overall, slightly higher compliance with respect to Wikipedia, and slightly lower in respect to Wikibooks.

**Changing to high compliance, after checking the site. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 02:32, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
