possibly copied text

The text of this article is very similar to the text at https://www.anfa-national.org.au/australian-red-ensign/first-union-flag/national-colonial-flag/ That page doesn't appear to attribute a source or indicate when it was written. Does anyone know which is a copy of the other? If Wikipedia has copied that page, it should at least be attributed. --Scott Davis ^Talk 00:05, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The oldest version of that page on Wayback is from Mar 2019, but comparing the wording there to the very first wording used in this article when it was created in May 2005, it is exactly the same as that source. Whereas there have been some changes to the text of this article over time, -meaning it is unlikely that they copied their content from here, since it would more likely contain the altered wording, than the version which existed briefly. Suggesting this article was lifted directly from there. The editor who created it with that content was also a sockpuppet for another account, which I see has been permanently blocked, and had other issues relating to copyright mentioned on their page.219.88.68.195 (talk) 05:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
