Compliance	These are a group of interlinked mirror sites. The owner claims the duplication is for "load balancing". On all the sites I checked, there is a link to internal GFDL, the original article, and the original history, below the last ads. The sites use dynamic loading (the owner claims he has set up 1 year caching), and hotlink images. There is no mention of CC-BY-SA. Many registrations use whois cloaking services.

Please confirm at that time that our customer has made this step. Failure to contact you as we have requested would be a violation of our terms of service. If our customer fails to contact you, we will proceed with the cancellation of the privacy service on this domain." The subject of the email is "RE :: 1BX.COM :: 100170"; this is probably necessary for followups. Superm401 - Talk 21:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC) I received an email noting that 1bx.net has been fixed. Superm401 - Talk 23:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Replied noting that they were dynamically loading, and that some sites still aren't in compliance. Superm401 - Talk 23:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC) He replied saying he had fixed another site (and said there is a 1 year cache). I replied back asking him to stop hotlinking. Superm401 - Talk 01:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC) He said he would fix the hotlinking, and that all sites should be fixed. Superm401 - Talk 02:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC) I just checked the first five URLs and they are all dead (mostly with the usual "search" page that domain registrars tend to put up when a domain expires). Looks like these ones no longer infringes Wikipedia. The first URL infringing on The Simpson's copyright is sombody else's problem. 72.251.91.186 (talk) 02:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC) 1bx.com

Arkansas Encyclopedia

• Site: Arkansas Encyclopedia

• I didn't see this listed anywhere. It strikes me as very odd. I initially came accross this through a Google hit that led me to this http://lakewoodrepublicans.8m.com/michigan.html. 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 (which does not even mention GFDL anywhere). Or the "main" page: http://www.geocities.com/arkencyclo/. Seems like every click is a different domain. Bkonrad | Talk 14:14, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Compliance	Without images, no mention of Wikipedia or the GFDL. With images, there is a single rectangular image with text "The wikipedia content included on this page is licensed under the GFDL." The entire image is a link (redirected) to the original article. There is no link to the GFDL. Even if there were a link to the GFDL (which must be "reproduced" somehow), using an image is a violation because text-only users (like Lynx) are shown the page but not the mandatory GFDL notice (Section #2). Contains all Wikipedia articles (though only biographies are indexed) and other materials. Mirrroring is badly done and not all wikitext is processed. Includes advertising.

Sample	http://www.cassiopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Manchester_City_F.C. — see how this page (created on 09/2006) compares with the wikipedia version of the page on the same date: [8]
Rating	"Low/None"
Compliance	Site has now removed all Wikipedia content and references to the project.The site appears to be essentially a wikipedia fork, but claims that "This site is NOT affiliated in any way with Wikipedia or any of its sister sites" at [9]. Mentions GFDL but has the audacity to assert (e.g., in the sample link above) that "An uncorrected copy of this article might be available at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City_F.C.", implying that cassiopedia.org is the originator of the content rather than the other way around. The edit history of most of their articles mirrors only the most recent edit in the history of the Wikipedia article at the time of capture, (usually September 2006). In the example above the edit histories of both the Wikipedia article and the Cassiopedia article show AntiVandalBot as the contributor of the article version (including identical edit summaries). They further have the audacity on their copied copyright problems page to assert that their designated agent is Jimmy Wales! They also appear to be modifying the pages to substitute "Wikipedia" with their encyclopedia: http://www.cassiopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Wikipedia http://www.cassiopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales The site currently collecting donations: http://www.cassiopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Cassiopedia:Fundraising

Below moved from main page... Davelane 21:39, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The site http://www.eurofreehost.com/ appears to be a mirror of Wikipedia; each page claims to be under the GFDL but I found no link to Wikipedia on either a random article (http://www.eurofreehost.com/co/Compulsator.html) or the main page. Also, no Wiki source seems to be available, specifically violating the intent of the GFDL as I see it. Finally, the pages have no link to the text of the GFDL. I've sent a more-or-less standard complaint letter (although I didn't claim to be delighted to see another out-of-date broken mirror of Wikipedia) but it was taken before I made any major contributions, so if someone with more seniority would like to take over, that'd be great.

Phatnav's pages still claim copyright. Straight mirror of WP content. Makes near fraudulent claims (they copy some of our pages that say "content provided by visitors to this site", further implying content is theirs). I can still see no GFDL or WP links, pages imply they are owned by PhatNav.

This is just about the worst possible violation (straight copy / adding ads / claiming copyright / not crediting authors) and given that they have not responded to previous letters, I propose we escalate according to standard protocol (please drop me a line if you want to work with me on this one).

Here's some more fun: Look up Bob Dylan on both QuickSeek and Wikipedia. Same content. Now, look up Wikipedia on both. The self-referential link here is kosher, of course. However, look at the one on Quickseek: It's completely blank. Looks like there has been some half-hearted effort to scrub their site of references to Wikipedia. 66.187.233.202 19:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

This one has come up on IRC today, but contact info is hard to get. I think more warning e-mails have been sent after thorough hunting around, but this is lower than low compliance, infact the "all rights reserved" bit puts it at just about nill, and the removal of all wikipedia references makes it lower yet. MichaelBillington 10:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, Copyrights "are theirs" but editrights aren't. Think about it: this may be of questionable legality but it's completely editable, and not exactly a *real* encyclopedia. It ain't moderated (that's for sure), so why not get some benefit out of their wrongdoing? Based on the good-faith assumption that it's within legal limits, I'd condone mass vandalism of the site, although I probably won't be doing it myself. --Utopianfiat 18:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to wait two weeks (the 18th is an important day, so I hope I'll remember) before I notify Rackspace just in case this guy is just misled. If he doesn't respond in 2 weeks, I think it's safe to assume that even if his intents are not malicious, everyone's lives would be better without search engine spam. --Utopianfiat 19:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Not compliant as far as I am concerned. No list of contributors, no link back to the forked article or it's history. Says "From Veropedia, based on Wikipedia". I'd be pretty pissed off if an article I'd made major contributions to ended up on the site with this level of attribution. Wikipedia doesn't own the content I write, I do, and I expect to either be credited right there or at the very least a link back to the history at Wikipedia. --kingboyk (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a link back to the history, but it's in a somewhat non-obvious place; you have to click on the "Article" button at the top of the page, then select "History", then select "Wikipedia History". Could certainly be more prominently positioned. Bryan Derksen (talk) 18:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

It mirrors everything, images, featured articles, but not discussions or users. It even has the audacity to say 'Wackipedia in other languages' at the bottom an link to wikipedia.org domains! It makes almost no effort to remove many references to Wikipedia on various pages (e.g. This is the English language Wackipedia. Wikipedias are also being written in many other languages). It also carries the 'free encyclopedia that anyone can edit' banner, but it maintains that all the pages are copyrighted to Wackipedia and there are no edit buttons.

Compliance	A link to an off-site copy of the GFDL is included in the footer of every page. Wikipedia is mentioned as the source and is linked to, but there's one weird and IMO major problem; every single article I've checked so far links to India as the source article on Wikipedia. This is clearly a result of a bug of some sort, but the fact remains that this means there are no links you can follow to reach the proper author history of the articles (except, of course, for India). Images don't have direct links either, the reader is directed to go to Wikipedia and hunt for the image's attribution there.
Contact info	http://www.wikiwix.com/?lang=en&action=contact is the listed contact URL but following it leads to a page that displays the results of a search of Wikipedia for the word "contact". Also presumably a bug of some sort.

• GFDL compliance is good. They have a clear reference to contributors on a central source page.

I have changed the rating to low/medium. I have searched the site and the only reference to Wikipedia being a source is buried on this page: [29] (which I had to really search for).

Compliance	I see no indication that they acknowledge content comes from Wikipedia. There doesn't appear to be any copyright notice or information on the site itself. Going to any non-existing page, e.g. http://zipox.com/zipox redirects to a porn solicitation page. The site also has a list of ten sites in a "Blog Roll" all of which appear to be similar non-compliant mirrors. These are http://www.redshort.com wstuff.com vsnw.com thinkdogs.com specwire.com songnhong.com vdmg.com twgold.com and somecoolsite.com . User:Milkman12345 has been adding links to this site from Wikipedia articles.
