Minimum attribution of «Terms of Use» from Wikimdia Foundations site
would be
"
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/"

That is 96 chars, with spaces, of 140 bytes available in a SMS. For some
languages the attribution will take more than one message. Ooops...

You just need to provide a url to the article. Type
wikipedia.org/articleinto your address bar and wait 5 seconds.

I actually was not aware that the terms now ask you to link not only to the
article, but to the license as well. That is a burden.

Linking to the license (or providing it's actual text) is an explicit
requirement of CC-BY-SA.

Hoi,
Did you consider what this does in other scripts ... the notion that it is a
small number of characters is based on the notion that the script will be
the Latin script.. Other scripts tend to show as the Unicode numbers..
Thanks,

There is a solution, and it is rather puzzling. The license talks about
identification by an URI, and this can be defined several ways. We can
simply define an URI like "Wikipedia:My article" or perhaps "cc:nnnnnn"
where the last is some kind of digital resource identifier for works
licensed by Creative Commons. The first are simpler to understand, while
the latter are somewhat shorter and more reusable.

Not very much different from an URL, it requires a net connection as well.

Still I believe URL is a correct pointer to the license, clickable or not.

And the original work. In particular, a revision ID is a unique
reference to a particular revision on a particular copy of MediaWiki,
e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/?oldid=299753371 (where I put [[:en:Karl
Malden]]'s birth name into the intro).

Does anyone know the guy who owns enwp.org?

That being said, enwp.org/?oldid=1234 does work :)

Yes it does, enwp.org/?oldid=60372135 should redirect you to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=60372135 which is a 2006 revision
of [[Old-Timers' Day]] (thanks Special:Random).

I control enwn.net. We just set it up primarily for our Twitter feed. That
being said, I've already had requests to make it available for external
users - so that's in progress, and I can expand it to allow all WMF sites
(not just wn).

Otherwise it does support short redirects for CurID. Example:
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/U.K._National_Portrait_Gallery_threatens_U.S._citizen_with_legal_action_over_Wikimedia_images?curid=129225
http://enwn.net/+129225
