<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:12pt;font-family:Tahoma">Everyone should be aware that information that you post on Wikipedia may be republished by other parties. We have found that some individuals have taken content directly from Wikipedia
and published it and made it available on Amazon. An example of this is the Wiki about the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. This is a Wiki I contributed to in the past. If you look on Amazon there is a digital and/or print on demand publication with I believe
three different editors listed available for sale for about $40. In the short preview to the "book" the text is taken directly from Wikipedia, and some of it was written be myself. I never gave them the rights to publish this content and it seems disingenuous
to now offer it for sale, when the original content was meant to be freely and publicly available. I do not have confirmation that Wikipedia is directly involved. I offer this as if tribes place content on any Wiki websites, the same may happen. If anyone
else knows further details I would be interested in hearing more. They have done this with many entries.
