[edit] Copyvio tag

I'm unsure if this is in actuality a copyright violation, it looks more like a "reverse copyright violation" at least insofar as the website mentioned seems to have poached its content (home page) from Wikipedia. The text is almost identical to that from the 01/08/06 12:15 edit of this page, which is prior to the date of registration of the domain. The content of Wikipedia has since been revised.

Maybe, but it's credited as copyright the website on the website's page. And actually, one of the reasons I thought it was a copyvio is because it read like something cribbed from somewhere else, so... I don't know. Anchoress 11:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The website mentioned as the original source looks pretty much auto-generated, and despite claiming copyright, credits wikipedia for its content "(Thanks to Wikipedia for this helpful Caribbean Cuisine guide.)" Looks like a reverse violation to be sure. --87.194.191.97 11:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Look at the page history, this article grew here organically. Guettarda 13:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with Guettarda. The site referred to in the edit summary as being the one that might have been copied actually has a note posted that reads: "Thanks to Wikipedia for this helpful Caribbean Cuisine guide." Afv2006 10:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
