No one asked, in fact I've been contact by more than four separate Wiki sites almost identical to this one and each time I've made it quite clear that the entire idea of just freely screwing around with someone else's work as you please is just wrong. Pretty much any author you contact will say the same thing, you don't work hard on something for it to be butchered by other people. I don't know who the admin is, or how the hell to contact them, but I can see in big bold print at the bottom "DO NO SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK" and it looks like someone has done exactly that. | No one asked, in fact I've been contact by more than four separate Wiki sites almost identical to this one and each time I've made it quite clear that the entire idea of just freely screwing around with someone else's work as you please is just wrong.

:Apparently, someone anonymous tried to screw up this site's reputation by posting your work here without your express permission. It's vandalism, it's outright copyright infringement, and it happens a lot on newborn wikis like this. As a workaround, the administration has [http://strategywiki.net/wiki/StrategyWiki:Community_Issues#Registered_users_only disabled editing by anonymous users] to exercise some control over who edits what... I hope you won't feel so bad about this site after what happened, for as a community we'll do whatever we can to prevent crap like that from occuring again. --[[User:Aeon17x|Aeon17x]] 23:23, 6 January 2006 (PST) | |||
Revision as of 07:23, 7 January 2006
Did anybody contact Alex about copying this guide? Somebody needs to ask about whether we can change the guide (just for format reasons, keeping all of the main content) or remove attribution. I don't think this walkthrough is license-compatible. --Dslamngu 08:07, 6 January 2006 (PST)
