[Foundation-l] How to free something from Wikipedia in the public domain?

Sounds a little problematic depending on the details. If the text was
released on Wikipedia first, then the contributors agreed "to release
your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License". If the all the
authors of the article can identify themselves as the same people who
contributed under the named accounts for the original Wikipedia
article then release to PD is no problem, in practice few articles
only have a history of contributors who are using accounts associated
with their legal identities.

Cheers,
Fae
