Hi Fabian. I've never noticed that copyright tag before. It seems to come as standard in Wordpress pages and I will see if there is a way to remove it.

Hi all,
Thanks for the Wikimedia UK Spring newsletter.
Sorry if I missed any previous discussion about the assertion of copyright on the Wikimedia UK blog https://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/, but I am afraid I have become a bit of a copyright geek over past fifteen years - a bye-product of being a Wikimedian I suppose.
I have just posted a comment with the query:
"Does the copyright tag at the bottom of this page mean that I am assigning copyright of this comment to Wikimedia UK?"
Please note if the answer is yes, I am reproducing my comment here under a fair-use https://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p09_fair_use rationale.
all the best,
Leutha
