A question about the GNU Free Documentation License?
Q. I know you can use them for commercial purposes.

A. Easiest way is to do it how wikipedia used to do it, somewhere prominent on the page you put "licensed under the GNUFDL version x.x" and then provide a hyper link to the license text and then provide the list of author acknowledgement underneath. However this would also have to go out on the t-shirt and you would have to provide a hard copy of the license! The GNU license is extremely cumbersome for images generally having being designed for large software manuals. However an update to the License allowed a lot of content to be re-licensed under a creative commons license (mainly content that is also/was on wikis) "Q.

If I'm citing an article which cites Wikipedia, is the article itself an unreliable source?

A. try to see if you can find the article from which wikipedia cites the information you need and use that instead. what i mean is 1) go from the article from spiritus-temporis to the wikipedia page its citing from, 2) find the information that spiritus temporis is referring to on the wiki page, 3) find the reference wiki is using to cite the information that you need, 4) go to the original source. If I was a teacher, I wouldn't accept sources from Wikipedia.
