I've heard that Wikipedia is licensed under Creative Commons. Does that mean I can use their content on my site without a contract?

i wouldn't use wikapedia if i were you. wikapedia is a site that anyone can add to the information. the site isn't very legit at all. if you need a site like wikapedia find somthing else. for dictionary references, etc... try- encarta.com -
thats what i use and its better than wikapedia.
(just a warning)
