User blog:Njalm2/With Regards to Copied Content

As some of you are aware, we had a visit from an Admin from Narutopedia yesterday. He was annoyed at how much content we have that is outright plagiarized from the aforementioned Wiki and asked that all articles of that nature either be deleted or be revised to properly give Narutopedia credit for their diligent and hard work. Some of you were quite taken aback by this, some of you even mentioned how you thought it was ridiculous, unfair or whatever the heck else. Plagiarism is no laughing matter however, we're not the only ones whom are guilty of this, and the other fanons that were have all been shut down by Wikia for being in violation of CC-BY-SA License. Yes, if this issue goes untreated, we may face the grim possibility that this entire wiki will be shut down; that's five years of plotlines, roleplays and articles gone with a single bottom push! 18,000+ articles, poof, just like that!

Luckily, this particular guy was understanding enough to compromise, the compromise is the disclaimer at our main page. But that's only half of it, if you're to make any new articles with content copied directly from Narutopedia, please, for the love of all that is holy and handsome, make sure to give them proper credit in no uncertain terms, while also providing a link to Narutopedia's own article on the matter. If you don't, you endanger the work of every other user on this fanon, including your own. Furthermore, as many of these articles with "borrowed" content are jutsu articles, it is greatly appreciated, recommended and encouraged that you add the following sentence to each such jutsu you frequent if it doesn't already have attribution. Do this whenever you would add a character to the list of users. As I understand that quite a few of us are fairly lazy and overly fond of procrastination, I'm going to do us all a favor here and simply include a message below which you are free to plagiarize and copy-paste to any relevant article. I promise I won't sue you.
