A number of sites that mirror and fork Wikipedia may not be complying with all the terms of the CC BY-SA.
Please see Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks for instructions about adding new sites.
At the bottom of this page there is a section named "Former content users" that is used for websites that at one time hosted Wikipedia content, but no longer do. This should be checked periodically.
Problematic sites sometimes get listed on the mirror list without ending up here. So check the mirror list too: (Numbers) ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO PQR STU VWXYZ All
Also note Wikipedia:GFDL Compliance, which is still the appropriate place to list sites that do not use CC BY-SA-only content. Remember that the dual licence which applies to all new editor generated text since 15 June 2009 means that a site only has to comply with one of the licences. So check for compliance with either licence and make a note of which licence the site is most compliant with. The exception is text imported from external sources which could be CC BY-SA licensed only.

- WikiNASIOC - Mirror seemingly unchanged since 2008. Does not mention Creative Commons at all, but since the edits are so old, I guess it doesn't have to mention it.

- http://www.qype.com/place/722628-Fulda-Bahnhof-Fulda contains the abstract from de:Bahnhof_Fulda no attribution etc. One might check if it's automatically edited or user edited - I could not easily find similar pages on qype. It's a commercial site...
- http://hoopedia.nba.com/index.php?title=National_Basketball_Association The Hoopedia wiki on nba.com ("All rights reserved") appears to have a lot of identical content as the respective Wikipedia pages (see NBA, similar situation for WNBA vs. WNBA (Hoopedia) and possibly many other pages). For one particular edit, I have been able to find out that the content in question appeared on Wikipedia first (on Dec 28 2010), while the text was inserted into Hoopedia between Jan 27, 2012 and Apr 27, 2012. While there might be legitimate explanations for the duplication, this might be interesting to investigate further given NBA's tough stance on copyright. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hweimer (talk • contribs) 10:01, 11 March 2013
- Scientific & Academic Publishing (sapub.org). Dubious publisher of 194 online "journals". This article in their International Journal of Arts was a blatant copyvio of Manifestations of Postmodernism with no attribution and marked "Copyright © 2012 Scientific & Academic Publishing. All Rights Reserved." We may see a lot more of this stuff from them in the future. See [2]. for more. Voceditenore (talk) 09:56, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- http://files.aiscience.org/journal/article/html/70110028.html in the American Journal of Mobile Systems, Applications and Services is a reverse copyvio of the Cluster Analysis article. They even copied the sentence "An overview of algorithms explained in Wikipedia can be found in the list of statistics algorithms." ROFL.
- http://www.everipedia.com - links to Wikipedia appear only after clicking on an unintuitive heading. Also no mention of the license of the content.
- https://www.biologie-seite.de - attribution is separated from the content at the bottom of the page with grey on black text, legal notice https://www.biologie-seite.de/stnfo.php contradicts CC BY-SA
