[[Wikipedia]] has complicated matters with its policy of forcing other [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s to provide links to itself if any text is similar to any other GFDL text that has been published via [[Wikipedia]] (which legally and technically is only a user interface).  While it is the largest and best known source, it is deliberately NOT the authoratitive or most quotable source for any particular topic.  Accordingly it is seriously detrimental to the [[GFDL corpus]] to have all links on all topics lead to Wikipedia.  The license implies that the best and most authoritative version be linked to, not just the first place where the material appeared.
