==plagiarism of Doctor Who Guide==


While working on [[The Moon]] I realized that a number of story sypnoses by the TARDIS Wiki user "Thegreathealer" have gotten cut-and-pasted verbatim from the Doctor Who Guide site run by (http://www.drwhoguide.com) run by Dominique Boies. I then wrote her to ask if she knew about this. It turned out that she didn't know and doesn't approve of content from her site appearing here.

:actually I don't think that presents a problem. I did a Google search and it seems like Play.com just used a standard blurb provided by the BBC to describe that story, a somewhat different thing than stealing another fan's hard work. [[User:Stardizzy?|Stardizzy?]] 19:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
