Other wiki articles can be used as refs? I thought that a no-no?? See refs 67-70.
These are just cited to the book as usual, and wikilinked. Added author, date.
Ref 66 needs a link, date, author, etc
Done.
Ref 71 should have page numbers
Done.

see this. The other site is tripod so I think it copied from wiki. I think there is a process/talk page tag to alleviate concerns but I don't know how to go about it.

Tripod has clearly made use of Wikipedia quite a while back, leaving out the refs: indeed I believe it habitually does. I've never used Tripod and am not about to start.

I know and agree. I said it (tripod) probably copied from wiki. I know there is some template you can put on the talk page to say wiki is not the violater but I don't recall what the template name is. Or do we not even need to worry about that?

It's fine, everyone can see they copied from us not the other way around. And the overall resemblance to the current text is pretty weak anyway.
