I'm in the process of revising both the "boogaloo" and "Latin boogaloo" entires on Wikipedia. The term "boogaloo" should not be - as it currently is on Wikipedia - confused with the "Latin boogaloo." These two are distinct musical genres. Boogaloo began as an R&B dance fad and then was picked up by Latin musicians and turned into the Latin boogaloo (aka bugalú) but they are not identical in sound or style. What I'd like to fix is to 1) create a new Latin boogaloo page (which is what I have already done, using parts of the original Wiki page for "boogaloo") and then revise the main Wiki "boogaloo" page to reflect the term's R&B roots rather than the current conflation between the two.

I was not aware the original page contained wording mirrored in a copyrighted source though I'm not clear if the other encyclopedia is copying Wikipedia or vice versa.
