Revision as of 19:26, 20 March 2007
Spoilers from other sites should be paraphrased, not cut-and-pasted. Even with a source attributed, that's just asking for copyright trouble.--Hardvice (talk) 16:54, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
- It's okay to cut and paste a quote, right? As long as it's something they are reporting somebody said. It's just the words in between that need to be re-written. --Xmuskrat 09:10, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- Correct. It's even OK to quote the reporting site itself, as long as it's a quote (i.e. between quotations marks and attributed to the "speaker".) For example, if Kristin Veitch wrote "Peter is going to die of an infected toenail and Claire will become a lesbian nun", this could be recorded several ways:
- According to Kristin Veitch, "Peter is going to die of an infected toenail and Claire will become a lesbian nun". (link)
- Kristin Veitch reports that Peter will suffer a fatal infected toenail, while Claire will simultaneously become a lesbian and a nun. (link)
- Peter is going to die of an infected toenail and Claire will become a lesbian nun. (link)
- The first two are acceptable: #1 is a properly-attributed quote, and #2 is a paraphrase. #3 is what people have been doing lately, and that's not OK since it's copied but not labeled as a quote.--Hardvice (talk) 14:01, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- Correct. It's even OK to quote the reporting site itself, as long as it's a quote (i.e. between quotations marks and attributed to the "speaker".) For example, if Kristin Veitch wrote "Peter is going to die of an infected toenail and Claire will become a lesbian nun", this could be recorded several ways:
Episodes 19-23
So, should we assume spoilerfix.com is accurate and reliable? Should we go ahead and make spoiler articles for these eps? (By the way, does anybody else think that these titles could double as really good porn titles?) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:52, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
- I particularly think the Exploding Man would be quite the porn title.--Bob 22:58, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
- Maybe if it was G-String Theory. --Xmuskrat 09:03, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- We have separate confirmation on several of these from Herosite (though they could have the same source), and separate confirmation about String Theory from Adrian Pasdar thanks to Pull Stuff Randomly Out of Your Ass with Kristin.
