I think the official WMF stance that it is functionally powerless is the wrong one to take. WMF should be much more aggressive, even if Google is a major donor to WMF. On Tue, Aug 30, 2022, 11:16 AM Nicholas Perry wrote: > As others mentioned in the thread, WMF can't enforce this directly as it

As others mentioned in the thread, WMF can't enforce this directly as it is not the copyright holder. However, in past instances, we have raised the issue with Google (similar to the KPN example) and will do so for this one as well. I am meeting with Google later today and will flag this to

We had a similar problem with the Dutch KPN interactive tv six years ago, and as members of the Dutch WP community contacted the tv provider KPN, who referred us to Metrological for the issue. Metrological has been very responsive and with the next update of the tv

If I understand the CC-by-sa licence correctly, Wikipedia and WMF themselves do not own the copyright, it is owned by the contributors who created the text. They can take this up with Google, the WMF cannot. If you are one of those contributors you can approach Google as misusing your
