What is the policy for copy/paste Wikipedia biographies? I see this a lot: "Description above from the Wikipedia article Nicolas Cage, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia."
Is it necessary? If so, what is the preferred way of writing it?

Yeah and I have seen three different ways for it.
1: 5 words sentence after it, example: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/237770-miguel-faria-jr
2: big sentence after it plus licence code, example: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/18323-marc-lawrence
3: 5 words sentence before it, example: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/552297-jim-steinman
I saw the 5 word variant(s) with and without a dot .. I never saw way 1 being deleted by mods, so this may be the best way?
