We want to quote some contents of a specific term from
the wikipedia,
and will put a full link to wikipedia page.
I want to ask:
1. Are there any limit on the words that we can quote?
2. Any specical things we need to take care of?
Thanks.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia for
information on citing as it applies to academic papers and such.
However, Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL; if you want to repost
the entire article, you can, as long as you link to a copy of the
GFDL and the history page of the article in question (see http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wikipedia:Copyrights#Reusers'_rights_and_obligations for more
information that is less prone to error than I am :]).
If you're just posting a few sentences, linking to the Wikipedia
article is fine, afaik. Hope that helps.
