Wikipedia "theft"

Article appears to be cut-and-pasted from wikipedia:Anji Kapoor, in seeming violation of Tardis:Manual of Style#Use of material from Wikipedia. I know nothing about this character, or I'd change it myself. Could someone with a knowledge of Anji have a go at reformatting the article according the cited "rule"? Thanks!

  • Actually, according to the MoS use of Wikipedia material is perfectly acceptable and is not "theft" so long as the Wikipedia content-use template is included, which I have now added. The GNU licence allows the content to be reused in this way (and vice-versa; someone can cut-and-paste from this wiki if they want and put it on Wikipedia, as long as they acknowledge the source. That said, I fully agree there's too much out-of-universe material here. Unfortunately I also know nothing about the character so there's not much more I can do either. 23skidoo 02:21, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Just adding, current policy is that, while copying from Wikipedia is not theft, we want original material on this wiki, not copied from other sites. Shambala108 23:37, April 14, 2017 (UTC)
