Hi Nonamesoda, I saw

On the website that had the same text, when I clicked on the Terms of Use link at the bottom of the page, I found this paragraph:

Some of the written content available on the Lucy Media Services has generally been made available by Wikipedia or its licensors under the the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License ("CC BY-SA") and/or the GNU Free Documentation License ("GFDL"). Lucy Media uses all such text pursuant to the terms of the CC BY-SA and you are free to use such content in compliance with such license. Certain specific text may be made available by Wikipedia under other free licenses, and Lucy Media makes such text available under the applicable license.

Based on this, it appears that famousfix.com was copying content from Wikipedia, and not the other way around.

I appreciate that you are being vigilant in keeping Wikipedia free of copyright violations, but please remember that there are also sites like famousfix.com that use content that Wikipedia editors wrote. (Some of these sites do not even disclose that they are doing this, even though it violates the license.) Thanks for understanding. — Newslinger talk 09:07, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
