Question

Hi, Jeangabin! I have a question about this article which you created. It has been brought to our attention that some portions of the article are similar to the article found on Zeldapedia. This coincides with several other new articles you've created, which have also had numerous similarities. Some have even had sentences copied word for word. Now, I'd like to ask you fairly: have you been copying, paraphrasing, or referencing their articles when creating ones on Zelda Wiki? Please give us an honest, straight answer.User:Justin/sig 00:43, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

In no way, this comes mainly from the characters lists found here on ZW. Jeangabin 08:15, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

While we truely want to believe you, there is evidence suggesting you copied from us, such as this revision http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Mage&oldid=231862

"Despite supporting Vaati, they are not harmful enough to be considered enemies. {Despite the fact that the Mages are followers of Vaati, they aid Link many times throughout the stages. One Mage gives Link a Moon Pearl needed to open a Moon Gate. Another gives him the Magic Book to give to another Mage, Iris. One Mage claims he created the Bombos and Quake Medallions and allows Link to use a Quake Medallion.}

This is almost direct text, fully, in some cases, to that of Zeldapedia's Mage article. It is even more interesting because you repeat the same sentence twice, "Despite supporting Vaati, they are not harmful enough to be considered enemies. {Despite the fact that the Mages are followers of Vaati, they aid Link many times throughout the stages", One of them being the same text from Zeldapedia, and it seems that you deleted the old sentence after paraphrasing the original. In other words, this catches you in the act of copying from there, so if you are prepared to deny it once more, I have nothing further to address.User:Steven/sig 09:10, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

Yess this! You know I try to find info anywhere if they aren't here, even on french websites. Jeangabin 09:15, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

Very well. I hope you understand that this means you've broken a rule and that there will be consequences for it. Please be prepared to face those consequences.User:Justin/sig 11:45, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

Ok then! But can I see where is the rule please? Jeangabin 11:52, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
