Dear Administrators/Owners of www.snipview.com:

(NOTE - email address - the email address provided will expire by the time you read this. To contact me and verify my identity, please use my Wikipedia talk page at https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Batternut/Licensing_Vio_-_Snipview ; you should be able to leave a message there without registering with Wikipedia as your edit will be attributed to your originating IP address.)

I have noticed that you are making use of English Wikipedia article text and images as part of your website, www.snipview.com. One example is http://www.snipview.com/q/Julio_Ripamondi_Base, which includes material from the Wikipedia article "Julio Ripamondi Base", which is located at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Julio_Ripamondi_Base. Wikipedia encourages the redistribution of its content. We also appreciate you citing Wikipedia as a source. However, it is also necessary to comply with our licensing terms of reuse. Failure to do so is a copyright violation. Most of Wikipedia's content, including the text you are using, is dually licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA 3.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). The texts of these licenses, the relevant legally binding documents, can be found at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/WP:CCBYSA and http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License. Wikipedia offers advice about how to comply with these licenses. This can be found in detail at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you wish to reuse Wikipedia's text, you must specifically mention the license under which you are displaying it. You may choose one or both of the licenses used by Wikipedia itself.

If you wish to license the material under CC-BY-SA, at the bottom of every page that uses Wikipedia material, you can include text similar to, "This page is based on the copyrighted Wikipedia article (put article name here); it is used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA). You may redistribute it, verbatim or modified, providing that you comply with the terms of the CC-BY-SA." You should link the text "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License" to a copy of the text of the CC-BY-SA. Also, we strongly recommend that you link back to the original Wikipedia article; the alternative is to list all authors of the article on your own server.

If you wish to license the material under GFDL, at the bottom of every page that uses Wikipedia material, you can instead include text similar to, "This page is based on the copyrighted Wikipedia article (put article name here); it is used under the GNU Free Documentation License. You may redistribute it, verbatim or modified, providing that you comply with the terms of the GFDL." You should link the text "GNU Free Documentation License" to a copy of the text of the GFDL on your own server. Also, we strongly recommend that you link back to the original Wikipedia article; this is a means to comply with certain GFDL requirements.

Thank you for your cooperation.
