Further on this subject, Benjamin, you've tagged several articles of mine as being from Wikipedia.  First off, in the case of [[Fighting Fantasy]], where does it use Wikipedia content?  That article was written from scratch.  Second, in the case of several others, the content was written by entirely by me.  I don't mind it being tagged just to note that the material overlaps with WP but there is no need to credit WP with the content.  ''I'' wrote it and can do what I like with it. —[[User:Joseph Rushton Wakeling|Joseph Rushton Wakeling]] 07:20, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Still further on the subjest :-)

I guess tagging Wikipedia content is very important (So I do it too). But consider that checking the checkbox while editing is enough -- template is now outdated (I suggested deletion).  Happy editing. --[[User:Aleksander Stos|AlekStos]] 07:34, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

PS. BTW, to make the credit appear by checking the chekbox, one has to do some dummy edit, e.g. to add a space or newline somewhere. A.S.

Wikipedia imports

Hi. Thanks for contributing to CZ! Please do me a huge favor and stop uploading Wikipedia articles for now. Read [[1]], especially the second point. That's the goal here. Best, Stephen Ewen 21:06, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
