Art and Culture

  • WebMuseum, http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/ : a large art resource. Their license agreement explicitly allows (under point 7) copying of their articles under the GNU FDL. The photos of the artwork is a little more complicated; see the license for more details.

Government and Politics

  • The Anarchist FAQ, http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/ : Contains much information on anarchism, but be careful as it is advocating a particular viewpoint.
  • The Encyclopedia of Marxism and other resources at marxists.org
  • Anarchopedia
  • Disinfopedia, containing information about organisations influencing public opinion, at disinfopedia.org Note that many of these articles would violate Wikipedia's NPOV policy; special care is needed when copying to Wikipedia from this resource.
    • When using material from Disinfopedia, you may wish to use the following as an attribution line [1]:
''{{disinfopedia}}''

History

  • Japanese History Documentation Project at http://www.openhistory.org/jhdp/

Warning! This does not extend to any of the articles written by others (recognizable by having DG, GL or RH after the title). Only the work written by me (either having nothing or AE after the title) is usable as such; the others may not be used commercially. Andre Engels 04:33, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

  • I snapped some photos of vegetation while in the wilds of Sweden. If anyone can identify them and would find them useful for illustrating Wikipedia articles, consider them FDL'd. --Brion 05:11, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • I have just put 10k+ photos under the FDL so they can be used here, I'm not going to have time to put many up here so if others want to do so please help your self :-) --ChrisCroome 16:22, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
