Erry - Fight and Away TALK - It is a massive shit taken on the display and functionality of the site purely to draw in more advertising cash. ~ 02:32, 10 May 2011 (EDT) Okay so I went to the old wiki, to get to templates so I can audit, so then I decide "eh, why not look through the uploaded pictures?" and I see they've taken the Battle Missions emblem that I extracted from the game... now, what would this be called? Plagiarism? Because it seems so. You don't see us going to their wiki taking their information... discuss.

They should know better than to steal, y'know. Plus, I don't know how they were able to get that picture. It's ether they got it off of Google (which usally stores pictures from other websites), or they came here to steal obtain it. Just a thought.

Erry - Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! TALK - I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down! ~ 03:50, 10 May 2011 (EDT) I just took a quick Google images search for it and didn't find anything, at all. So it's clear that they didn't get it from there, the only source is either my hard drive or the wiki. And only one is viewable to anyone.

I guess they just wanted images, so they snuck into our wiki and took the picture. Not many people are able to hack into other people's computers from another part of the world, y'know.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}} Yes, it is called plagiarism. Crono (and Kryten, if I remember correctly) already said that copying contents from the articles here to there isn't permitted, since it's an act of plagiarism. Same thing should apply for this problem. Besides, those images were ripped by you, through your own effort, it's not right for them to take the images just like that, at least they should've asked for your permission. I say give them a warning, and if you don't allow them to keep the images, they should delete them from the wiki.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Not only is it plagiarism, it also ties this wiki back to theirs, which should not be happening. We should tell the entire wiki, not just the people involved this time, that such behavior isn't acceptable.
