• The source of this material is Spoken Wikipedia.
  • In compliance with Wikipedia's license, the edited text and edited audio files within the subdirectory www.manythings.org/wikipedia/ have the same license (Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 License). Briefly this means that if you adapt the material from what I have edited, you need to also give me credit. If you adapt the material directly from Wikipedia, you don't.
• Editing done for this website includes converting OGG files to MP3 files, choosing excerpts and cropping the audio to match the chosen excerpts.
• These will print very cleanly (without printing the MP3 player and menu.)
