This is the sort of reuse that those who contribute to Wikipedia, as I do, wish to promote. </p><p>However, you must follow the licensing terms which govern all Wikipedia text. Most of Wikipedia's content, including the text you are using, is dually licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA 3.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). The text of these licenses, the relevant legally binding documents, can be found at <<a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CCBYSA">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CCBYSA</a>> and <<a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License</a>>. Wikipedia does offer advice about how to comply with these licenses. This can be found in detail at <<a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights</a>>. </p><p>First, I would like to point out that when you use content from Wikipedia you should include a link back to the source Wikipedia article as is suggested at that page. Additionally, you should also include a CC-BY-SA notice, a GFDL notice, or both. You could, for example, add the text "This article is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, which means that you can copy and modify it as long as the entire work (including additions) remains under this license", and provide a link to a copy of the CC-BY-SA. Text such as "This page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia" is a good way to acknowledge the general source of the text. </p><p>Specifically, your page <Specific Address> uses content from <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARTICLE NAME>. I was a contributor to this article, and text that I wrote appears on your site. Since it appears without linking the original article or specifically attributing me (and the other authors), or linking to the text of the CC-BY-SA or GFDL under which I released my contributions, the existence of this page violates my copyright, as well as those of all other contributors. </p><p>Please add the required links and acknowledgments to all parts of your <Title> site that use Wikipedia content promptly. Thank you. </p><p>Sincerely, <Wikipedia User's Name> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Followup" data-mw-thread-id="h-Followup-To_Website_Owners"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Followup-To_Website_Owners"></span>Followup<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Followup-To_Website_Owners"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Standard_license_violation_letter&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Followup"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><br/>Dear <<b>insert name of site owner</b>>, </p><p>We have previously contacted you about your web site <<b>insert site name and URL here</b>>, which uses Wikipedia content licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

Failure to meet licensing requirements is copyright infringement, a breach of <PROVIDER>'s Terms of Service (<TOS URL>). Only the text of the CC-BY-SA and GFDL are legally binding, but Wikipedia has recommendations for compliance. The website should first note that Wikipedia contributors created the article; there should also be a link back to the article on Wikipedia. There should be a CC-BY-SA or GFDL notice, such as "This page is based on the copyrighted Wikipedia article (put article name here); it is used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
