Some Smashpedia pages still have information that is identical to ours, such as [http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Ness_(SSBM) this]. I specifically remember writing some of the information on that page. [http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Captain_Falcon_(SSBM) This] is another page to have information directly taken from our wiki. Someone needs to go over there and make sure all of this stuff is removed. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">PK SMAAAASH!!</span>]]</b> 10:48, 10 February 2016 (EST)

I know our information is not copyrighted, but look at this. Someone has done it more than once. Shouldn't they put a notice on there, telling people that it came from another source? We do that if we take information from Wikipedia, as seen here, for example. John John3637881 Signature.png PK SMAAAASH!! 11:18, 18 January 2016 (EST)

This is nothing new. We really don't have control over that, and honestly, I don't really think we collectively care. Serpent SKSig.png King 11:21, 18 January 2016 (EST)

Wholesale copying of templates, images, and paragraphs in bulk is most certainly not okay if attribution is not provided. I'm going to stir the pot on this one. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Obfuscating 11:26, 18 January 2016 (EST)

What exactly can we do though? Serpent SKSig.png King 11:27, 18 January 2016 (EST)
