Of course, if an author doesn't supply a name, then an URL is all that remains. But most of our authors have not excercised this possibility: they do supply their names, or pseudonyms. > > This is also not completely true.

It is just your opinion that they have over-attributed; my opinion is that their way of attribution is reasonable. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
