Fact's

Wikipedia (Wikimedia Foundation) states the following:

• it does not own copyright in Wikipedia article texts and illustrations.
• the text contained in Wikipedia is copyrighted (automatically under the Berne Convention) by Wikipedia contributors and licensed to the public under the GNU Free Documentation License
• All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License
• Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement). Wikipedia articles therefore will remain free forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom.

Interpretation

The creators of OZpedia spent a considerable amount of time researching the copyright issues involved with Wikipeda information.

The result of this research is summarized here:

• If you are the Author of the Article on Wikipedia, you have the right to place the information on OZpedia.
• If you are not the Author of the Article on Wikipedia:
  • Rewrite the Article - the recommended approach
  • For a Full Article
    • Copy the Article and add the following link to the bottom of the Article
      {{wikipedia-full|ARTICLE NAME}}
      which will place the link
      Note: This is a copy of an Article under FDL, the Wikipedia original is here.
      on the bottom of the Article.
  • For Parts of an Article
    • Copy the parts of the Article and add the following link to the bottom of the Article
      {{wikipedia-part|ARTICLE NAME}}
      which will place the link
      Note: Parts of this Article are under FDL, the Wikipedia original is here.
      on the bottom of the Article.

Note

OZpedia does not support all the formatting available to wikimeda. This is a planned difference.
