Content From Wikipedia

[aaronfalloon]

How can I go about displaying content from wikipedia on my site, what kind of copyright or links do I have to have back to wikipedia?

 

[Amnezia]

you can use it how ever you want as long as you provide a link back to the wiki page you got it from

 

[aaronfalloon]

So all I will have to put is: Content/Article From Wikipedia

 

[Amnezia]

correct

 

[Chronos]

Content from wikipedia is displayed at answers.com, where you can find some reference about how to link back to them, or to wikipedia itself.

http://www.answers.com/copyright

of course the answer from Amnezia is right and easier to understand though

Am I allowed to put ads on pages with wikipedia content? and do I have to copy the whole articles or can I copy parts? and can i edit the articles and content in anyway say delete some of the text?

 

[aaronfalloon]

No one?

MAY want to think twice before editing things.

If you change it so the end result or information given in the article is changed, you can get into false/misquoting authors, etc.

Or, if you're just deleting un-needed sections.
then you should just use elipsis so people know that something was taken out.

elipsis = ...

Can I take content from wikibooks if I display a link back to the orginal? and does that link have to be back to the orginal or just to wikipedia.org?
