 * inaturalist - "description" section is copied from Wikipedia and credited as such.
 * wikinfo.org - Wikipedia fork, now an open wiki that encourages non-reliable information. Clearly not a WP:RS in any way.

 * famousfix.com - Seems to have evolved in to a combination of mirrored Wikipedia articles, user-generated lists and materials, and other scraped content with unknown copyright status. There's a disclaimer on their terms of use: "Some of the written content available on the Lucy Media Services has generally been made available by Wikipedia or its licensors under the the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License ("CC BY-SA") and/or the GNU Free Documentation License ("GFDL"). Lucy Media uses all such text pursuant to the terms of the CC BY-SA and you are free to use such content in compliance with such license. Certain specific text may be made available by Wikipedia under other free licenses, and Lucy Media makes such text available under the applicable license." This is wholly inadequate - it does not identify the material it is applicable to, and it fails to comply with the license by identifying the authors (or linking to the exact article). Copyright problems appear to have been noticed back in 2015, so this is a long-term problem. There was a previous entry in this list that I removed in 2017 as it appeared to be mostly removed at that time. Example


 * hisour.com - Junk scraper site, often directly copies from here with minimal or zero attribution. Most of the rest is likely copyright violations from other sites. No license, no contacts or anything on site. Example
