I tripped over a misattributed link on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Time_(Doctor_Who) In the effort to verify before editing, I found this page whose text is identical to the WP entry: https://alchetron.com/The-End-of-Time-(Doctor-Who) Question: Is there anything a WP editor should do? Flag it? Think philosophically, "Well, that's the internet for you." and move on?

misattributed link= "CGI Adipose" is linked to the entry for adipose tissue and not what it means from the context, which is using CGI to add extras to a scene, where "Adipose" is either a command in a CGI software program or a third-party add-on.

@Marjimac: Text from Wikipedia is allowed to be used on other sites with attribution, at the bottom of every Wikipedia page it states 'Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 4.0;'. Looking on that Alcheron page, at the bottom it states 'The End of Time (Doctor Who) Wikipedia (Text) CC BY-SA' so they have complied with the requirements of the CC licence and hence it's all good.

~~Not quite sure what you are talking about RE CGI Adipose, if you could clarify~~ Oh, I see now... it should probably be linked to List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens#Adipose - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 00:19, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for training my eyes to look for attribution. I'm impressed that you located the Adipose entry! I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I have seen at least one Doctor Who episode with Adipose. I appreciate that you took the time to answer my question. Thank you :) Marjimac (talk) 01:53, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
