What happens if someone copies stuff from GB onto wikipedia? Mods will probably automatically assume its GB users who plagiarized and remove it. What happens then?

If someone copies original GB information onto wikipedia? Well our mods cant do anything with the wikipedia information can they.

I dont think i quite understand what youre saying.

What I'm saying is, how should this problem be dealt with. We don't want giant bomb content being removed because mods think it was copied from wikipedia, when it was actually copied the other way.

That's what I was thinking, but do mods actually do this? or do they just delete it as soon as they see its the same?

they check it before its approved dont they?

in which case for it to go from here to wikipedia it would have already been put up.

I dont think they check things which are already approved unless people point out a flaw.
