idea for tweaking wording ("the", etc.) re GFDL
Where it says "Articles that originated in part from Wikipedia are available under $1.", shouldn't it be "[...] under the $1."? (adding the word "the")? Also, should "available under" be changed to "also available under"? Also, where it specifies GFDL 1.2, shouldn't the "1.2" be preceded by the word "version"? (that is, "version 1.2")? Just some suggestions, from Michael Lee Schwartz 18:44, 9 April 2008 (CDT)
