In order to better comply with Wikipedia's GFDL licensing policy, we are asking all users to revisit any articles they've imported from Wikipedia to make sure that we satisfy the attibution requirement. [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Copyright|Wikipedia:Copyright]] states that "a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement."
Although this is often already provided, in other cases, there is simply a note in the history. Ideally, the link back to the original article would be the permalink to the version imported (these can be discovered by going to "history" and then clicking on a revision date), but, since Wikipedia does not require this, neither will OrthodoxWiki, especially in cases where it would take a lot of effort to retrace steps to the original version. Any discussion about this should take place at [[OrthodoxWiki_Talk:Copyrights]].
