I have a question for anyone that can answer it... There are 2 Wikipedia pages that link to my site and have done for a number of years now (I didn't create them they are natural links)... My question is, as I have been going through all the link to my site I have noticed quite a lot of duplicate wiki type pages, these are mainly Russian and polish site with a few French ones, these look like they have been scrapped from the original Wikipedia site and put together this includes my links. Will this hurt my site as these wiki like site don't look to official...

Here are a few examples of the sites... I have removed the end part of the links that relate to my niche

h**p://en.zero.wikipedia.org/wiki/

h**p://enc.tfode.com/

h**p://find.wiki.gov.cn/

h**p://pl.efactory.pl/

h**p://ro.zero.wikipedia.org/wiki/

h**p://ru.enc.tfode.com/

    Since they are not created by you, you won't need to worry about it. Google will treat them as duplicate pages and may deindex those pages.

    As you don't have control over external website or blog you won't be penalized by google.

      It's not duplicate content. Has nothing to do with duplicate content.
      Wikipedia owns a gazillion domains and subdomains for each and
      every country under the sun. They replicate the content across
      all of them.

      When I visit wikipedia, my browser goes to en.wikipedia.org

      I have always brought up wikipedia as an example of duplicate
      content nonsense myths.

      As for other sites, like tfode, they just copy wikipedia's stuff.

      A gazillian sites copy wikipedia's stuff. Wikipedia is there
      for the copying.

        So Paul I take it then that there nothing to worry about then, as there seems to be quite a lot of them pointing to just 2 of my pages... when I say a lot I mean well over 100 of them...
