Crediting "Wikipedia" would never be acceptable under CC-by-SA, since existing contributions weren't made under a terms of service that required permission be granted for such attribution. However, your example not working doesn't mean your point is incorrect. We're trying to determine what form of attribution is reasonable. It stands to reason that what is reasonable will depend on the context, and amount of content being used could well be a factor. There is an argument for keeping our recommended forms of attribution (and that's all we're talking about here - we can't demand a certain form of attribution, just recommend one) as simple as possible, though. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
