==Re: Continued Plagiarism==
I note that, since your last plagiarism warning, you have continued to write articles using content plagiarised directly from other sources, including numerous Wikipedia articles and other online sources. Previous warnings for plagiarism were more than clear in explaining site policy: you do not use other people's content as a substitute for your own. Thus, and as this is your third infraction on IIwiki, '''your account will be suspended from editing for 72 hours'''. Your articles where  plagiarism has been identified as a significant proportion of the content, namely [[Crimea]] and [[Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic]], have been deleted. Other articles of yours, including [[Fabián Franco]], also contain significant plagiarism but have been left to give you an opportunity to rectify the infraction. Failure to rectify this plagiarism within a week of your ban elapsing will result in its deletion. Your contributions in future will be closely scrutinised. If you continue to plagiarise, or fail to resolve the existing plagiarism, you may expect your removal and that of your content from this site. IIwiki's plagiarism policy is straightforward and reasonable; it should not be difficult to comply with it.

Re: Plagiarism

It has come to the attention of the IIwiki administration team that several of your articles, including Prussia and Prussian Soviet Socialist Republic, contain content which is substantially plagiarised from other sources, particularly from the Wikipedia article wp:Prussia. Plagiarism is explicitly prohibited under the IIWiki Standards and Conventions and as such I am issuing you an official administrative citation. Please correct the offending articles, removing all plagiarised content and replacing it with original material, and any other article of yours that similarly plagiarises other writers' intellectual property, and familiarise yourself with IIWiki's Standards and Conventions. Unresolved instances of plagiarism will be deleted by administrative action in a week.

I'm sorry I didn't realize that useing source for alternate historical scenarios was plagariam in your eyes. Don't worry I will try to make them 'less like Earth' and 'more fantasy like'

The issue isn't in similarities to real-world events, countries, etc.; if you wanted to write about the real Prussia, exactly as it is on Earth, you could (even if it seemed a bit silly) - as long as the writing is your own. If you want to write an alternate-history Slovenia, the point of departure of which is 2020, you are absolutely entitled to describe real-world Slovenia - again, as long as the writing is your own. The problem, you see, lies in using other people's written content, over which you have no claim to ownership and which can give rise to legal and attribution issues. Site policy is that anything you submit to IIWiki should be your own work and in your own words. You're very welcome to continue using IIwiki as long as you abide by the site policy, which is a fairly straightforward thing to do. I hope this clears things up - if it doesn't, I'm happy to clarify further. ~ Mal do the talking thing 17:50, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
