RE: Copied content
The entire copied content thing was entirely my fault and not BKM's :( He did what he was told to do by me. I presumed that the other wiki ~_~ was also on a free license after finding nothing of that regard on their legal pages. Sorry and I assume full responsibility for whatever he's done on my insistence. But if we want to make a page like their's and improve upon it, wouldn't it be a better idea to copy them here and then work on it rather than do it from their site alone? That way, many different editors may work on the same page in shifts. Agreed, the pages that were deleted were not at all edited in any manner, but we had some ideas to do that. Check out what we did to the Diablo News Archive. It's still under construction, but it was originally their page. So, sorry again. "Fear me!!!"

 * Well, it is okay for me to take some of the blame, and yes I can rewrite the things I copied; in my own words. -- BKM 10:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. Don't worry - it's difficult to understand the funny rules about copyright. Some wikis, such as Wikipedia and those on Wikia are GFDL, but many others are not freely licensed.


 * If you want to make a page on the same topic, it's actually best to start totally from scratch. Otherwise it can count as a derivative work which can be as bad as just copying it. Facts themselves are not copyrightable though - only the expression of them, so you can certainly use other Diablo sites as sources - as long as you use your own words. It's a good idea to cite your sources and say where you got the facts from.


 * Good luck with the rewriting. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Angela (talk) 11:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
