"Why are you removing me from Truathi?"
You were removed from the map quite some time ago for inactivity. You're not considered part of any of the regional lore anymore until you want to rejoin, but as the management team is taking a much harsher stance on looking at the realistic sizes of population and national economies, you would have had to retcon quite a few things regardless.
Notice of Plagiarized Material
Hello,
It's been brought to my attention that your page Electoral system is a direct plagiarization of the first few paragraphs of Wikipedia:Electoral system. Unfortunately, this is against IIWiki's Standards and Conventions, and the page has been deleted. While users can and do draw inspiration from Wikipedia pages, it is bad form to copy verbatim, or with minor edits, sections from other websites or other users on IIWiki. We want IIWiki to be both a place of original, creative content and worldbuilding, and somewhere that people can trust their intellectual property is going to be respected.
If you are looking to link to concepts already available on Wikipedia within your articles, you can use the following code to do so:
[[Wikipedia:ARTICLE|SHOWN TITLE]]
For example, to link to Wikipedia's page on war, you would simple put in [[Wikipedia:War|Warfare]]
(Warfare)
Please ensure all of your pages meet IIWiki's Standards and Conventions. We hope this clarifies our policies, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask on my, or any admin's, talk page.
Thanks, Admin: Ozycaevias (Talk) · 07:08, 24 November 2024
