Lylat Wiki talk:What Lylat Wiki is not

In response to the edit comment

"should the 'don't copy anything from Wikia' be adjusted for the merge?" - How so? With the Merger, we allowing this one time exception for the merger. [Tacopill|(talk)] 11:13, 24 October 2010 (PDT).

Well, with the Wikia wiki merging with us, I don't think we'll have to worry about plagiarism anymore. :P—Justin^(Talk) 11:34, 24 October 2010 (PDT)

True.... unless they plagerize an inactive wiki. :D. [Tacopill|(talk)] 11:46, 24 October 2010 (PDT).

Yes, it says don't copy under any circumstances, but during the merge there will be an exception. So how about "Do not copy ANYTHING from Wikia or another Star Fox wiki. The only exception to this rule is when moving content from Arwingpedia during the merge." --SnorlaxMonster 00:33, 25 October 2010 (PDT)

I suppose, but then after the merger, will we just go back? [Tacopill|(talk)] 08:45, 25 October 2010 (PDT).

Just make it so it's not "under any circumstances". That would not encourage taking content, and not be untrue. It would still bear an almost identical meaning. --SnorlaxMonster 23:54, 26 October 2010 (PDT)

How about this:

We are an Independent Wiki. We aren't Wikia, we aren't Wikipedia. We are focused only on Star Fox, and we do it for free!

We do this out of the kindness of our heart, by fans, for fans. Any revenue made by the wiki goes to the wiki, not some higher-ups that care nothing for our content.

We choose to be independent from Wikia for a reason. We are currently allowing stuff to be taken from Wikia to support the merger, but only texts and files. No templates or categories. If you are found to be in violation of this rule, you will receive a warning. Repeat offenders will receive bans. This also applies to images. You may not take any images found on Wikia or another Star Fox wiki without proper accreditation.

When the merger is done, we will reverse our position on this.

Yeah, that seems good. --SnorlaxMonster 15:23, 27 October 2010 (PDT)

Sounds good. And thank you. [Tacopill|(talk)] 15:27, 27 October 2010 (PDT).
