I have some excellent news. After contacting the Diagonal Media Group, the parent company of PhatNav.com, they have replaced the claim that they are "A Wikipedia" with a more appropriate title for their pages. Wikipedia, and the Wikimedia Foundation, are, of course, still linked to at the end of each page.

Thank you Angela.
I'm forwarding this to my engineer.
The wording on the top of the pages was to have changed. I'm sure he can make this change.

This is excellent news indeed! Angela, you are a hero!
I tried calling them myself several times, but I was never able to get anyone to answer.
