== Proposal == | == Proposal == | ||
As an alternative to the exhaustively lengthy forum opening posts that we've seen lately, I'll keep it brief: [[User:Timewalkerauthor|Timewalkerauthor]] has added a number of plot descriptions on Big Finish audio pages – an area where our wiki has historically been lacking. However, they also posted the summaries on [https://timelordarchives.wordpress.com/ their personal blog], and for this reason the summaries have been removed from the website. This was the reason given: | As an alternative to the exhaustively lengthy forum opening posts that we've seen lately, I'll keep it brief: [[User:Timewalkerauthor|Timewalkerauthor]] has added a number of plot descriptions on Big Finish audio pages – an area where our wiki has historically been lacking.

::This is bizarre reasoning from Shambala especially given that people can copy the wiki at any time, provided that they properly credit. So why would they come to the wiki if they can get it elsewhere? Surely this entails that our licenses used are fundamentally incorrect! I'm baffled as to how this wasn't immediately pointed out, clearly '''support''' this proposal. (And, of course, we duplicate a ton of information from elsewhere. Just a bizarre notion.)

::::I can see where the admin was coming from, back in the day when this policy was come up with the reasoning was basically to stop people copying from sites like the Doctor Who Reference Guide and other such sites, and also from copying from Wikipedia, as the idea was having differentiation between here and there. | |||
::::I don't think any of us envisioned anyone writing it for their own sites, and also adding to it here. | |||
::::I support this proposal, as long as there's wording in the policy that still protects against people randomly grabbing content from other sites. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 05:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
::::: Agreed. Supported, so long as the scope is made clear. This should only clarify that [[T:DON'T COPY]] only applies to using ''other people's work'', as Nate has added above.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 05:46, 18 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
Yeah, support. [[User:Cousin Ettolrhc|Cousin Ettolrahc]] [[User talk:Cousin Ettolrhc|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:26, 23 April 2023 (UTC) | |||

== Conclusion == | |||
<div class="tech"> | |||
This thread has been pretty uncontroversial with broad support and consensus. Therefore, I have [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Tardis:Plagiarism?type=revision&diff=3493717&oldid=2357656 updated T:DON'T COPY]. [[User:Timewalkerauthor|Timewalkerauthor]]'s summaries may be reinstated. There's not much more to say.
