Copy and pasted from Comic Vine?

Like not cool, brah. I understand that GB is a sister-site, but do we really need a word for word article ripped from Comic Vine? Can't we just say "Wolverine was blah blah in this game. For more about the character you can go here"?

hmmm, this really pisses me off because I did pretty much at least HALF of that wiki page at CV. I'll have to talk to the staff about this.

Why not just let them copy + paste it and put a credit to the original authors and comic vine?

Okay, so I'm pretty sure this "Deathswitch" fellow did this not only to Wolverine, but a few more comic character pages as well.

Personally I think that the general rule of thumb should be "You only should get points for an article if you wrote it."

I'm fairly sure Gman has said in the past not to copy/paste from comic vine.

GMan just told me there will be an ability for him to delete points soon, so he's just going to delete his points when the code gets pushed.

As a preliminary step, some of this user's points have been removed. Thanks.

"I don't think that ability will be for the mods. Not sure, but from how G told me it sounded like only he/staff could do it."

this is'nt right, me and a lot of other people put a lot of time in to the wolverine page.

It does link to comicvine tough, so it can help out that site.

How about we just site our sources and at the beginning name all the authors?

Cite sources? That doesn't work if you're copying information verbatim.

Aah, I see. Well at least points can be taken away from people who are caught copying and pasting."
