User talk:71.222.20.243

I have banned you from editing StrategyWiki for a period of one (1) month for the following reasons:
 * 1) All contributions made to StrategyWiki are licensed under the GFDL. This message is present on every single edit page, so there is no excuse whatsoever for saying you did not know that. Because of such a license, you do not own the work you submit to the site, but rather "own" a revision of that work that others may improve upon. See the link in the first sentence for the text of the license.
 * 2) People that make contributions to a page are listed under the "History" tab. This shows who made the contribution as well as the revision of the page they submitted.
 * 3) I have done a Google search for a few different pieces of the text on the Wind Slayer/Stats Builds page and none of them have shown any results indicating it was copied and pasted from somewhere, so your mention about "copied from another source without permission" is completely bogus. While a person named Nameless may have created a stats build guide for Wind Slayer, only the way the information is presented can be copyrighted, not the information itself. As such, there are no copyright violations on that page.
 * 4) After being reverted multiple times, you should have figured out that you are doing something incorrectly and you should have stopped and talked to those people who have reverted you before adding it back in. There is a fine line between edit warring and being bold, and you have leaped right over it. This page may be a good read for you in that regard.

If you wish to discuss this ban with me, please come onto IRC (into the #strategywiki channel) and I will be more than happy to discuss it with you, providing you are willing to discuss things peacefully without yelling, swearing, etc.

Again, this ban will expire in one (1) month from today's date (found after my signature), but if I or another administrator see you doing the same or similar things when your ban is lifted, you will be re-banned permanently. Attempting to evade this ban in that one-month time period will be the cause of a permanent ban as well.
