::Hi. I don't know if you're the only sysop or whatever, but since you are one, I'd like to encourage you to take a more harsh stance on plagiarism. Paraphrasing as well as flat-out copy+paste is still not only inappropriate from a moral standpoint, it's actually illegal. Since Wikia's semi-recent license change to CC-BY-SA, using their content on any non-CC wiki is a violation of copyright. Thanks. | ::Hi.

::On a semi-related standpoint that doesn't involve any criticism from me ( :] ), do you know of any other NIWA wikis that are engaging/condoning-- or worse, encouraging-- such behavior?

:::Dear 96.255.126.216, Thank you for contacting me on this. I do not believe any NIWA admin, or any of there wiki's anymore, is encouraging in such an act. However, like you said we do now have a harsher stance on plagiarism. I do not know of any current cases, but should they appear, we have {{LW:IWP}} to help up out. Thank you again, {{User:WikiSysop/sig}} 02:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC). |
