~~Akali phoola singh (history · last edit) from [2].~~ Editor claims GFDL, but unable to confirm at the source. — Coren ^(talk) 06:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Release under the GFDL is stated at SikhiWiki:Policy and Guidelines in item #3, "SikhiWiki is a free encyclopedia licensed under the terms of the GNU_Free_Documentation_License." CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Which in turn appears to be copied verbatim (including spacing error) from Harjinder Kanwal's website. The Sikhiwiki article started on 4 July 2006 with a copy and paste from ~~this sikh-heritage.co.uk May 2004 version~~ this sikh-heritage.co.uk February 2005 version, for example~~, with just one word changed~~. It's hard to tell how well Sikhiwiki adheres to the GFDL, they link to Harjinder's site but do not give his name nor explicitly state his was the source, nor even whether Harjinder collected information from others on a courtesy, non-free license. I am emailing Harjinder to ask if he is infact agreeable to his work used in this way. -Wikianon (talk) 14:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC) (updated archive link to a better match)-Wikianon (talk) 15:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Update: I've blanked the article and changed it to a redirect to Nihang#Phula Singh, see details at Talk:Akali phoola singh. IMHO most of it was uncited copy and paste from sources going back to 2001.Wikianon (talk) 16:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yvan Pedneault (history · last edit) from [11]. The text on the article page is very similar to that on the cast bio page, and I suspect it is identical to the text that's actually in the program given out at the show. I don't have a copy of the program so I cannot be sure. MrBoo (talk, contribs) 02:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
