Keep in mind that the license '''requires you to provide a list of the original authors'''. We do this practice by listing the authors on the corresponding talk page. There are two ways one can do this. The first way is by adding {{t|reuse}} at the bottom of the article, including the appropriate links to any copied article(s) after a <nowiki>|</nowiki>. If there are too many sources and clarifications to comfortably list in the Reuse template, create a Bibliography section at the bottom of the article instead, separate the sources by a bullet list, and link to the edit history on the corresponding talk page; an example can be found on [[Bowser#Bibliography|Bowser]]'s article. If only a few have edited the original source, they may be listed under the Bibliography section directly, but you are still advised to add the edit history of their contributions on the corresponding talk page.
