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>. The second way is to add a Bibliography section at the bottom of the article instead, preferably if there are too many sources and clarifications to comfortably list in the Reuse template. Under said section, 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. Besides the authors, you are also required to log the edit history.<ref>https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License#Conditions</ref> | Keep in mind that the license '''requires you to provide a list of the original authors'''.

Besides the authors, you are also required to log the edit history.<ref>https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License#Conditions</ref> Specifically, it is '''important''' to note that under the conditions, if the page history exists, add a link to it,<ref>"I. Preserve the section Entitled 'History', Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled 'History' in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence." - [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.html GNU Free Documentation License]</ref> but if not, provide only a log of the edits. | |||
