When  I use material from the Wikipedia in the Disinfopedia, I put in 
a line of attribution at the bottom of the article. For example, 
Disinfopedia's [[Richard A. Clarke]] article includes the following 
line at the bottom, with links back to Wikipedia article:

>Note: A version of this article also appears in the Wikipedia.

If you want to do something similar when moving Disinfopedia material 
into the Wikipedia, it would be appreciated but isn't obligatory. 
It's not like we're in a position to sue over it.
