Talk:Armed Forces Bikers

Not a copyright vio (though probably COI) edit

I noticed that the text of this article pretty much exactly matches that of the AFB home page at http://www.armedforcesbikers.co.uk/.

But on checking the history of both pages:

  • The WP article was created, with this text, on 27 October 2013 (with COI as the editor says on his talk page that he is "the chairman trustee of the Armed Forces Bikers 2011 to present day").
  • The AFB home page looked quite different on 29 October 2013, but by 14 January 2014 looked like the current page, and the Wikipedia article.

So it looks as if the AFB home page was copied from Wikipedia, or created by the same editor as the Wikipedia page.

The Wikipedia article appears not to be a copyvio. Having done this checking I thought I should report it here in case anyone else spots the similarity and wonders. PamD 18:09, 24 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
