Literally speaking I suspect that you violated BSD: BSD (like
GPL and most open source licences) states:

  Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
  notice

This is a problem for uses like Wikipedia: if you follow
letter you may easily create mess where it is impossible
to see real information among copyright notices.  I do not
know how Wikipedia solves this problem.  Maybe they forbid
to use _any_ copyrighted material (beyond fair use).  Maybe
they have double standards (reject/accept based on some
arbitrary criteria).  Maybe they ignore that and have problem
with something else.
