  • It looks to me like the celebrityspy.org page is a (badly done) copy of the Wikipedia article, rather than the other way around. It looks like they've used with wikitext rather than the HTML, note the '''Microtargeting''' at the start of the page, the large number of links and especially the date links, the lists with each line starting with a *, and other apparent copies for Wikipedia articles on the same site, e.g. http://celebrityspy.org/indepth/California. ---- AJR | Talk 22:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
