Pretty sure that the CC license applies to everything on the site.

You should always say when and where something was originally published when moving your work. For one thing, it builds credibility that the work actually is yours. For another, it dates the work—so if there are any edited differences or errors in the review (e.g. making a statement that was true when it was written but falsified later on), they can be explained.

Whether the review is yours or the wiki's may be another question, though, since such rights can be withheld or given. It looks like anyone may copy, distribute or transmit any article so long as there's proper attribution. Are you trying to repost something you are paid for (e.g. a magazine, employed blogging, or Web site management)? 'Cause that's a big do-not-do-that-thing.

Edit: Obviously, you shouldn't try anything until a mod comes in with that phenomenal yellowy-orangey "moderator" badge under their username.

Everything on the site is under CC license. No big deal to mention it was posted here first.
