*States all material is copyright to Wackipedia, and doesn't even rewrite links on the homepage to point to it's own site. 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. They even have identical formatting of the main page, but with no column at the left side for links etc. —[[User:Vanderdecken|Vanderdecken]]∴<b> [[User talk:Vanderdecken|∫]][[Special:Emailuser/Vanderdecken|ξ]][[Special:Contributions/Vanderdecken|φ]]</b> 10:42, 16 July 2006 (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. |

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 I've sent a more-or-less standard complaint letter (although I didn't claim to be delighted to see another out-of-date broken mirror of Wikipedia) but it was taken before I made any major contributions, so if someone with more seniority would like to take over, that'd be great.

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. |

pseudodoxia.flawlesslogic.com
- 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.

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 |

- States all material is copyright to Wackipedia, and doesn't even rewrite links on the homepage to point to it's own site. 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. They even have identical formatting of the main page, but with no column at the left side for links etc. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 10:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
