:Yes, which means you can use material with compatible licenses with attribution. The guide in question uses a normal copyright, with a stipulation that you have to inform the author of your intended use beforehand. If you do so, and the author agrees to let you use his guide, please provide a copy of or a link to the written permission, chat log, email or whatever he used to give you consent. Then make sure to put a link to his guide in the edit summary when you recreate the page (or I can undelete it for you). If you do ask to use the guide, make sure you inform him that it will be released under the GFDL and may be modified and copied after that without any input from him. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 20:51, 18 May 2009 (UTC) | :Yes, which means you can use material with compatible licenses with attribution.

Please don't remove perfectly good information claiming that it's copyrighted without doing some research first. The information on [[Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath]] came from Wikipedia, and was published under the GFDL license which is compatible with our own. Furthermore, the information is attributed in [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Command_%26_Conquer_3:_Kane%27s_Wrath&diff=next&oldid=249746 the page's edit history]. Most of the guides use Wikipedia's writeup on the main page, so don't go around deleting that information. If you find something you find is suspect, the proper course is to add the {{t|copyvio}} template at the top of the page. This will alert an admin, who will look into it. - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 22:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
