Cut-and-paste transwikiing may be a GFDL violation
"Import is currently enabled only from foundation wiki and the English Wikipedia. From other wikis, you need copy & paste your materials by hand." Well, despite what it says in this project page, I would like to say that English Wikiquote is talking about possible GFDL violations when importing is disabled. I hope that this is properly addressed while affecting so many Wiki sites as well.--Jusjih 16:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- As long as you copy the history of the page as well (which is and should be understood), it is not a GFDL violation. Cbrown1023 talk 17:05, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Of course I understand copying the history of the page to attributes editors' usernames. However, the method in your answer would not allow non-administrators to see what exactly was changed if the original versions have been deleted. Thanks for your answer and I will pass it to all relevant Wiki sites where I administer.--Jusjih 13:42, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- As far as GFDL goes, it doesn't matter, a record of authors is required, but attribution of each line/word of the collaborative work is not required. xaosflux Talk 06:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
