    I was just wondering if it is okay to use definitions from Wikipedia on my website for the main content on some of my pages. I think that it should be allowed since it is a dictionary and it is supposed to be a reference. Anyways, is it legal? and if so, do I have to give credit to Wikipedia?

    For example:

    Defintion of Door: etc. etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc.
    etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.etc.
    etc. etc.etc. etc. etc.

    Defintion by Wikipedia
