Dispute about Plagiarism
Hello Sannse, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm the 3rd Admin of Sket Dance Wikia. I caught my fellow Admin plagiarizing a wiki page from another Wikia. Cococrash11 has taken material from Toriko Wikia and pasted in the J-Stars Victory Vs. He or she claims there is no rules about plagiarism. I told my teammate there is a rule and provided a link to Community Wikia. The person asks me to remove that message I wrote on his/ or her wall. I politely told her no because it's a reminder. The person had plagiarized from another Wikia long ago, Zelda Wikia. I told my teammate that we have to move on and learn from our mistakes.

Thank you.

 * Hi, sorry for the slow reply.  It's a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no.  Content on Wikia is licensed under an open license, the Creative Commons (attribution, share alike).  That means that content from any wiki can be used by anyone - as long as they keep the license the same (which is automatic on most wikia) and give proper attribution to the original source.  So yes you can copy from other wikias, but you can't copy pages without giving credit back


 * That said, a wiki can also choose to have a rule that's specific to that wiki.  So you (collectively) might decide that all content must be original and not copied over from another source.  As long as you stay within our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines, then it's up to you what rules you have.


 * I hope that helps, please let me know if you have more questions -- sannse (help forum | blog)  19:21, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. No worries, I know we're all busy. I understand there are two options. I will open up a discussion for the community to decide what's best soon. 09:34, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
