Copyright Issue
This appears to be a reverse copyvio. Most of the articles on the http://www.russianconvoyclub.org.nz/RoyalNavyShipsPT.html page are close copies of their corresponding WP articles. The Sheffield-related text on that site dates back to at least 2008 (https://web.archive.org/web/20080516112448/http://www.russianconvoyclub.org.nz/MembersShips.htm) and if the copyright dates on that page are accurate, was first created in 2007 (the domain was first registered 2007-05-11 according to https://www.dnc.org.nz/whois/search?domain_name=russianconvoyclub.org.nz).

The bulk of the WP article was written on 2006-11-02 by User:Folks_at_137, but the supposed "source" contains corrections made by User:Cosal on 2007-01-22 (but not the further corrections made by other authors in August 2007, indicating that it was copied between these dates; likely around the date of the domain registration in May 2007), thus, it cannot be the original source.

 * It certainly seems quite bizarre that this was even listed as a potential copybio when it's so obviously a reverse copybio. 2600:1702:1870:74D0:B56C:CB57:8785:608 (talk) 04:19, 31 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Agreed - this seems a pretty clear case where it's been copied from us. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
