| Hi, Jeangabin! I have a question about [[Sahasrahla's Grandson|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 [http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Sahasrahla's_Grandson 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. [[User:Jeangabin|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 [http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Mages 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. [[User:Jeangabin|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? [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 11:52, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
| |
| ::::The rule is plagarism and it's the biggest unspoken rule across the literary world. {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 11:55, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
| |
| :::::I think it may even be illegal. --[[User:Wilbur|Wilbur]] 11:57, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
| |
| :Really I don't care, do it if it makes the people from ZP happy. [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 12:01, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
| |
| ::You don't care? You were outraged about the instances of ZP plagiarizing us, but you don't care about plagiarizing them? --[[User:Wilbur|Wilbur]] 12:09, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
| |
| :::I was not talking about this. [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 12:10, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
| |
| ::We're not doing it to "make the people from ZP happy". You plagarized from their site, you will get the consequences. You plagarize from anywhere and we find out, you will get the consequences. Plagarism anywhere will result in consequences - in the real world, or online. There is a difference between researching information and inserting sentences into an article from another site and paraphrasing them, moving them around, or even keeping them in their original state. That is plagarism, and it is looked down upon ''everywhere''. Jeangabin, we are taking action in compliance with our policy. Please take responsibility for your actions - we can't just let you continue to copy information from ZP or other sites. {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 12:12, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
