--Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 17:08, 18 February 2022 (UTC)==The livepedia gig== I removed this section:

References This article incorporates texts from the Greek language online encyclopedia livepedia.gr which is published under the GFDL.

Our article on "Livepedia" refers to it in the past tense, and I can't find access to any encyclopedia of that name. Our link to it references a site called Livepedia but it is only an advertising site. I suppose someone took it off someone else's hands for a price and turned it into what it is now. Our article on the Greek Wikipedia explains that many of the early articles came from Livepedia. Not so. They came from translations as this article would have. Whatever the Greek text was apparently is long gone or unidentifiable. I do not think this is any sort of "reference" so I am taking the section out. The license under which it is said to have been taken does not require any attribution. Attribute to what? To whom? What exactly is attributed? How can you possibly prove it? No, we don't need it. I recommend the whole thing be rewritten with bona fide references. I am putting a request for references at the top.Botteville (talk) 01:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

@Botteville: A lot of internet sites (often with good data on different subjects) is, or was, created and mantained by private individuals (or their firm...). When those people stop paying the fee for the domain (and noone else takes over to keep the site up, and paying for it), the domain is for grab, and often got misused (can be malware too, not only adware). It usually happens when they die, or retire and firm is sold to another owner (who dismisses, or sometimes just drops old contents from) the old internet site.

It seems something like that happened to Livepedia. Sometimes those sites got gathered into some internet archive before disapearing, and bots try to find them there for cited sources in Wikipedia. You might try to find out if this one also got gathered into such an archive. Otherwise, we work under Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License and the refference text names extict page did under GFDL. I am not sure if disapearance of the web site frees us from obligation to acknowledging contributions from them, so I would keep mention of the old source somewhere, like we require for using contents of Wikipedia. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 17:08, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
