However, the site displays Google ads. They replied (from admin/Nominet%NOMINET@nominet.org.uk), claiming this does not count as trading and that there was no "paid advertising". I replied objecting to this assessment, as it is obviously wrong. Superm401 - Talk 23:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply] I also contacted the current host to notify them of the copyright violation. Superm401 - Talk 18:19, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply] They have passed the message on to the account owner, but will not provide his contact info. Superm401 - Talk 23:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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 I've sent a more-or-less standard complaint letter (although I didn't claim to be delighted to see another out-of-date broken mirror of Wikipedia) but it was taken before I made any major contributions, so if someone with more seniority would like to take over, that'd be great. Andrew 04:00, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC) (Update: mail to webmaster@www.eurofreehost.com bounced; I'll leave this for now, awaiting comment from others. Andrew 04:08, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC))

Compliance	The engine displays parts of Wikipedia articles above related searches. While there is no link to the associated article, there are links to other searches. Thus, it is possible to surf the previews without even knowing there is a larger article or where the text comes from. The engine claims copyright. However, there is a vague notice that "Portions of these search results are used under the GNU Free Documentation License. You may redistribute it, verbatim or modified, providing that you comply with the terms of the GFDL."; there is no way to tell what "portions" are being referred to. The notice has an offsite link to the GFDL and there is neither an article history nor a link to the original article.

Actions	I emailed them today to point out it could be an idea. NickW 10:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC).[reply] Quick response. They've been in contact with Wikipedia but have heard nothing back. I've pointed them towards the violation letters page so they can see what to do. NickW 10:39, 2 November 2005 (UTC).[reply] I sent them a standard violatinon letter using their feedback form. Superm401 - Talk 09:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply] Received reply saying they are confused by varying advice and that "we are trying to have them all resolved by the time our beta testing period is finished. If I could ask for a little patience on your side, I'm sure you'll be quite pleased with the final result!" I sent a reply saying I'll be somewhat patient but waiting until it's out of beta might be too much to ask (Google Catalogs has been in beta more than four years) Superm401 - Talk 05:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply] Received email saying it would be fixed in a week or less.

Site: pseudodoxia.flawlesslogic.com
Makes attempts to meet GFDL. Does not include all revisions of a page.
Currently under attack from some Wikipedia users, as they see it as offensive Nazi site.
Some have been blanking pseudodoxia's copies of their user pages as the word wikipedia has been replaced with pseudodoxia in many places (everywhere?), which may mislead people into believing that those users are associated with pseudodoxia.
I see nothing. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 15:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- We should ask them to add meta noindex so we can remove the Google cached copies among the search engines... -- WB 08:20, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

library.flawlesslogic.com is still up, but that doesn't seem to contain Wikipedia material. Superm401 - Talk 04:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Compliance	Appears to have removed all Wikipedia articles. Now redirects all traffic to Amazon affiliate page. Probably complete copy from end of May 2004 (contained 5 out of the 5 random articles I tried). Every page mentions "based in parts on the wikipedia project, the free encyclopedia, which will stay free always." Every article page contains mention of the GNU FDL (but the link is broken). No authors mentioned, page history is last edit only. No images
