Unauthorised copy/paste[edit]
This looks like a simple copy-and-paste from [1], which has a big, red warning at the top wherein the guy who wrote it is ratehr irritated about another site taking it without permission. I'm not going to delete the entire page content right away, but I'm going to email the guy who wrote the original and see if he minds us having his content here. --aniki21 09:23, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
- Original author's reply:
- I appreciate your taking the time to point this out, and yes, it does seem to have been ripped right from my guide. While I don't have a problem with it being posted there, if it is at all possible I would like to somehow have it linked to or at the very least, credited to the original guide at http://www.candiedskull.com/bully. I will look into what I need to do to make this happen. Thanks again for pointing it out.
- What's the procedure for attributing work from external sources, if we have one? It seems to me that we should just remove it outright and build our own from scratch, since the nature of a wiki means we're going to have edits made to this list several times to reorder and present the information different ways; that'll blur the line between what's Eric's work and the StrategyWiki contribution - at what point would it be "ours" enough that we could remove the attribution notice? --aniki21 10:41, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
- It's preferred to put a link to the original source in the summary for the edit which copies it in, but I suppose you could add it into a future summary, retrospectively. Alternatively, you can keep this topic here on the talk page and make sure the link stays here, prominently. The attribution notice has to stay forever, as even if we eventually change the work completely it's still had Eric's as an influence. --DrBob (talk) 11:56, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
