OK, so they should have a local copy of the licence. But they also say "The article can be editted here." and I think that's fantastic!!! -- Toby Bartels 04:38, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Knowledgegeek now looks close to compliance, acknowledging Biocrawler as the original source and linking to the GFDL. Do people agree that they are now largely compliant? --Robert Merkel 04:30, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The site has definitely improved. However, witness all the 'summary' pages one level in from the root page (such as Coffee (http://www.knowledgegeek.com/cat/Coffee_2.aspx)) still being composed largely of Biocrawler content without any acknowledgement. A sentence or two, lifted directly from Biocrawler is shown in many entries on those 'summary' pages (such as Drip brew, French press, Caffeine, etc. on the Coffee page above) yet you must click through to the full text before a Biocrawler or GFDL reference is made. A reference to Biocrawler and GFDL on all pages with even 'truncated' Biocrawler content (ie, the first few sentences of a bunch of articles) would still seem to be required. Potentially also worth mentioning is that the engine or template system used by KnowledgeGeek is used by StudioReview.com (documented on this page and supported/linked by Mark Coffman of KnowledgeGeek) and as of this writing, StudioReview has a low degree of compliance. I'm not suggesting that the owner/operator of KnowledgeGeek is able to accomplish this, but one wonders if it's possible to add compliance at an engine- or template-level for sites like this which are clearly copying Biocrawler content in huge quantities. Ds13 20:46, 2004 Mar 11 (UTC)
The remaining problems identified above seem to be addressed now. I would agree that they are largely compliant now. --Ds13 06:50, 2004 Mar 21 (UTC)

  • Uses Biocrawler's servers to serve its images. Uses Biocrawler's search engine via open proxies, e.g. searching for "fzzgt" resulted in this hit on srv6.wikimedia.org:

  • Mirror of the english wikipedia
  • Link to GNU FDL.
  • Link to www.wikipedia.org (from the icon)

We can class this is as 'well behaved' mirror. Phil from logicjungle proactively read the listing here and emailed me. I suggested some improvements to the wording of the article links, to give proper credit to wikipedia, which were quickly implemented.
If any further contact is necessary, it might as well go through me, or a I can provide a copy of the email conversation we had -- Nojer2 10:09, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Mentions Biocrawler, and provides a link to the front page
  • No GFDL Link
  • Looks like fair use.
[edit]

lotsofinformation.com

This may (or may not) be a very nasty clone. It does include the GFDL, it does name Biocrawler, but all such links are local and don't link back to wikipedia.org. It appears to be an almost exact mirror of the pages with no pictures. The only thing is, the login CGI works for some reason but doesn't appear to permit logins. In this case, they may be attempting to capture logins and passwords from wikipedia which can then be later used for making bad edits. I haven't found a clear way to check this, but I can't think of any reason to make an active CGI for the login when all other links are broken and the edit links aren't working. I have tried logging in through the form using an invalid user / invalid password set, and valid user / invalid password. In both cases it rejects this.

The domain is registered by Godaddy.com, with Paul Hardwick as the admin/tech/ etc. contact. Interestingly, someone with that name asked questions on the media-wiki list about making local copies of this site. Other info; he seems to be doing online shopping etc. http://www.paulhardwick.com/.

My possible explanations (most likely to least likely)

  • someone is playing with the site, they didn't expect Google to find it
  • someone is phishiing wikipedia to capture usernames.
  • someone plans an editable version of wikipedia but hasn't turned on new user sign up yet.
  • someone copied wikipedia and just set up the cgi with no intention for it to

be used.

I tried calling the phone number in the Whois entry to see what was there, but I couldn't even hear the company name clearly on their voicemail.

Needs further investigation. 129.215.13.84 16:54, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This is an odd duck. User signup and login does work (now at least), and it's possible to edit. It's a fork (albeit one that doesn't acknowledge that it is one), except that it seems to copy the main page daily. The page history function works, but it's incomplete: unless their copy of the article has been edited, only one history entry appears, presumably the last before they made the copy—there is no link to the Biocrawler copy and no other form of attribution for contributors other than the most recent at the time it was copied. AIUI, this makes them distinctly non-compliant with the terms of the GFDL. — Gwalla | Talk 01:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit]

Lex-24.de

  • GFDL mentioned, and a very hard-to-read full text of the license is linked from each page.
  • Biocrawler is mentioned as the source, and main page of one wikipedia is linked from each article, though some of those links go to wrong language. (Say, Japanese articles having a link to dk.wikipedia.org, French articles having a link to pl.wikipedia.org).
  • No link to the live article.
  • Example http://www.lex-24.de/es/Top/Ser_vivo , http://www.lex-24.de/fr/Top/Art
  • It is in more than dozen languages, but English is somehow not accessible.
