Attribution is good. And the ==References== section is
the natural place to put
info like that.
Yes. I wasn't asking out of fear of lawsuit, but out of politeness and
a wish to properly attribute the work of the Disinfopedia contributors :-)
I've added a suggestion to
[[Wikipedia:GNU Free Documentation License resources]]:
When using material from Disinfopedia, you may wish to use the following
as an attribution line:
''This article includes [
http://address-of-Disinfopedia-article material]
from [[Disinfopedia]].''
Example is on [[Alexis de Tocqueville Institute]] (or [[AdTI]] for the lazy).
Quite a bit of the material is from Disinfopedia. (With suitable NPOV
massaging - Disinfopedia feeling freer to label scoundrels as scoundrels ;-)
Is there a way to make a {{msg:disinfopedia}} that would automatically link to
the article of the same name on Disinfopedia? That would be a lot easier hence
more widely used.
