Why is this wiki so similar to ours?

http://fictionalcharacterbattles.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tier_1

I saw this and I was thinking this is exactly like our tiering system.

Tier 1 Dante...


Say What!?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Friendly reminder that Dante used to be Tier 1 via SMT on this very wiki.

 

[Senkoro]

So they copied and pasted this wiki?

 

[Graf_Thorsdottir]

Thanos ...

They even add the note that HotU is non-canon, and yet have a key for HotU Thanos at At least High 1-A

I never saw that.

So they copied and pasted this wiki?

Basically yeah. They even have our old Tier System with the "Joke Tier"

J.J. Chambers is the guy who ripped off VSB wiki

 

[Senkoro]

Is this legal?

 

[Professor_Voodoo]

I'm not too keen on the legality on blatantly plagarizing other wikis but i can assume it's frowned upon.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, the wiki is not very popular, and J.J. Chambers is nice and polite enough, so I don't think that it seems to cause any harm.

 

[MagiSinbad]

I see no problem with them o3o

But...allow me to place a derph face on this >_____>

 

[Antvasima]

Still, I would like to hear what the rest of the staff thinks. I mean, our members have copied information from the OBD or ACF at times, so wouldn't we be hypocrites if we ask J.J. to shut it down?

 

[Faisal_Shourov]

^Well if there's no law regarding direct plagiarism, I don't mind that wiki since we're not competing, nor there's any tension/friction between the two. As you said, we have imported tons of stuff from OBD and ACF

Probably best to let it go. Although I would appreciate if he put more effort into his own wiki to make it more original, it looks like a bad ripoff.

I agree with that latter part.

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

I agree with Ant, no need in asking J.J. to shut down his Wiki, its causing no harm, even if it is a bit weird even being there.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

I second what Ant said plus the later part of what Faisal said. *Nods*

 

[Sheoth]

Dat Tier 0 Elder Scrolls tho!

Well, on the topic of plagiarism, I think it should at least be asked that he not copy and paste anything directly over, and rather that he use our pages as a general outline if he plans use them at all in any way.

 

[Antvasima]

@Sheoth I suppose that might be appropriate.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Yeah, that would be good yes.

 

[Professor_Voodoo]

Hmm. I took the time and liberty of checking a few profiles, and there are credits to this wiki in some of em.

 

[Antvasima]

Well then. That is respecful enough, I think.

 

[Antvasima]

Also, I think that we are likely making a ruckus over nothing. The wiki in question only had 190 individual visitors this month. If J.J. wants to have some fun on his own, and gives us credit, I don't think that there is any harm done.

 

[Professor_Voodoo]

I think this thread should be quietly retired before anything really messy happens. Just my opinion.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will close it.
