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, primarily by adding {{t|reuse}} at the bottom of the article, including the appropriate links to any copied article(s) after a <nowiki>|</nowiki>. See the bottom of the [[Bulbasaur]] article for an example.

The second way is to add a Bibliography section at the bottom of the article instead, usually if there are too many sources and clarifications to comfortably list in the Reuse template. Under the Bibliography section, separate the sources by a bullet list. Ensure that you not only link to the original articles but also the edit history on the corresponding talk page (see the Bibliography section on [[Bowser#Bibliography|Bowser]]'s article as an example).
Alternatively, one may add a Bibliography section at the bottom of the article instead, usually if there are too many sources and clarifications to comfortably list in the Reuse template. Under the Bibliography section, separate the linked sources by a bullet list. See [[Bowser#Bibliography|Bowser]]'s article for an example.


Besides the authors, you are also required to log the edit history.<ref>https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License#Conditions</ref> However, it is '''important''' to note that under the conditions, if the original source's page history exists, you '''must''' 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.
Besides the authors, you are also required to log the edit history,<ref>https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License#Conditions</ref> which should be done on the article's talk page (or even a sub-page of the talk page). However, it is '''important''' to note that under the conditions, if the original source's page history exists, you '''must''' 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.

It is advisable to add a list of the original authors for each source listed under the Bibliography section. If there are too many, such as over 300 people who have edited an article, use only the copied link to the history page or a backup of the log.
