If you need some good information to put on your website and like me don't have the brains or talent to write about the subject.

Then you may use information from Wikipedia see there license here'

OK because I've had the day from hell and my brain is completely frazzled does all that waffle on there mean that we can copy bits from Wickidpedia for our own websites so long as we link back to the original article??

Alvin · #4 (**permalink**) 17-03-2008, 23:21

Basically yes ,and I don't think you even have to give a link back from what I have read.
But best read the whole license http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...tation_License

I think we may need a legat brain to translate it properly.

I think you are right, I have a cracking headache and can't see straight, I'll come back to it tomorrow and see if I can make any sense out of it.

Would be very cool if it is a free for all!

What about duplicate content penalties from the SE's?

Alvin · #7 (**permalink**) 18-03-2008, 11:14

I don't think duplicate would be a problem as most prople may only be taking snippets or sections of information .There is also the fact that wiki has a lot of other content on its page beside the actual copy.

Well I've just found out that my birthday is exactly half way through the year on a leap year and I was born on the same day as Peter Kay (I'm actually the same age too) and Lindsay Lohan.
