Re: Serial plagiarism

It has come to the attention of the IIwiki administration team that a substantial number of articles you created contain content which is heavily plagiarised from other sources, namely Wikipedia articles. We understand that you have previously been warned in relation to plagiarism. You should be well aware of IIwiki's policy on plagiarism by now: we don't like it. Taking a certain amount of inspiration from someone else's writing is acceptable; the occasional copy-pasting of a sentence formula from elsewhere is acceptable; the wholesale theft of entire articles, with only minor alterations such as changing the names, is not acceptable. All the offending articles have now been removed and, as you have been warned previously, you have been blocked from editing IIwiki for one week.

While you are blocked, please take some time to consider the form your future contributions to IIwiki will take. We welcome constructive and original contributions and sincerely hope you will make many of these in your time here. We take plagiarism and all breaches of IIwiki's Standards and Conventions very seriously, and we will be watching your future edits closely.

All the best,

Re: Continued plagiarism

It has once more come to our attention that a significant amount of your content on IIwiki is plagiarised from external sources. Many of these articles, such as Mascyllary Revolution, predate your last warning and ban for plagiarism. These have gone uncorrected since that time, despite the opportunity being given and despite your undertaking to remedy them. More worryingly still, you have continued to generate plagiarised content after the expiry of that ban, and much of this remains characterised by a minimal effort to avoid plagiarism. This is not okay. Any article that has been found to contain plagiarised content has now been deleted in accordance with site policy.

It may be that you do not understand what we mean by plagiarism. We mean the use of another person's work without their explicit permission or attribution. Lifting of part or all of sentences generally constitutes plagiarism. Any written material you submit to IIwiki should be demonstrably your own to the greatest extent possible. If you require further clarification, you may ask any administrator (myself included), either on their talk pages or on the IIwiki Discord server. I hope you intend to continue contributing original content to IIwiki and to do so at all times within the guidelines we have established, and we are happy to facilitate this as long as you abide by site policy.

In addition to the punitive measures being taken against plagiarised articles, your article "''Wagemut''" has been deleted as a spam article which stood in violation of site policy. Other articles of yours, including Buchenau and RTele, have been found to contain formulaic text identical to similar external sources. However, because of their brevity and the formulaic nature of the writing, they have not been deleted for plagiarism; nevertheless, there is a Prohibition on grossly incomplete content, which this is. You are advised to add substantively to these articles in a prompt manner. Articles that remain in violation of site policy will be deleted if uncorrected. Your article Gallery of Gaian flags violates the site convention against gallery articles. It is necessary for any such article to consist of prose justifying its existence; IIwiki is not an image host. Please remedy this situation promptly.

As regards your plagiarism record, this is your final warning. If you continue to plagiarise content and to write articles using material that is not your own, you may be permanently banned from IIwiki. It is possible to create a vibrant and well-developed roleplay world without using other writers' work. Your original work demonstrates that you have an ability to worldbuild and write originally. You do not need to plagiarise. There is no excuse for plagiarism. Let me be very clear — this is your last chance. We will not permit continued plagiarism on IIwiki. You seem to have gotten much better at abiding by policy in the last number of months, and this is appreciated. Please don't stray from that line.
