== Copyright violations BY Wikipedia?! ==
I was scanning the various BSG articles on Wikipedia when I realized many articles there have directly lifted from Battlestar Wiki. We could consider this a form of flattery, or ask them to rewrite their own since our CC license isn't compatible with their GDFL license--or is it true in the reverse?
In any case, I marked their [[Wikipedia:Battlestar|Battlestar]] article as a copyvio as it's almost a direct lift from [[Galactica type battlestar]]. What's to be done, or does anything really need to be done? --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 22:58, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
:You are correct that the GFDL doesn't allow the inclusion of CC-BY-NC-SA content, and thus shouldn't be using our content. From a practical standpoint, however, I'm not particularly interested in pressing the issue. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 00:14, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
:You'll actually find that the [[Battlestar]] article does have some content which has been lifted from BSGWiki, however the majority is unrelated, i've removed the violation text while i rewrite it. I notice in the history youa re the primary contrib to the article for the RDM Galactica, If you wish you ould dual license your text under the GFDL allowing Wikipedia to reproduce any text you created.

Seriously thinking about writing our own "essay" about it and why it should be avoid at all cost at Battlestar Wiki. Just something that can be referenced internally. Thoughts? --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:46, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

::::::Looks great so far, actually. I want to crosslink with this and the [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad]] subsection on derived content to warn people not to confuse that with fanwankery, which is wholly unsubstantiated. I'll add a bit for that.--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:46, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

:::::::It's going a little far to say that fanwaking is completely forbidden. A certain amount of speculation is appropriate (take, for example, [[Articles of Colonization]] - the simplest explanation would be that the producers messed up referred to article 21 instead of 23 by mistake. However, the situation was different enough that Tyrol could plausibly have been invoking different rights in each case). It only becomes problematic when we concoct patently inplausible scenarios to excuse what are obviously production errors. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 18:28, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
