Unused (and should remain that way). Kill it?--Hardvice (talk) 22:23, 16 November 2007 (EST)
- Heh, didn't even know this existed. Definitely kill it. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:23, 16 November 2007 (EST)
- I think it could be usefully even if no one is using it. So far no one has lifted pages from wikipedia yet. --Pinkkeith 10:30, 21 November 2007 (EST)
- It's not about being useful, it's about the fact that we shouldn't be lifting pages from Wikipedia. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:15, 21 November 2007 (EST)
- Yes, you're right we shouldn't be, that's what this template is trying to say. Its saying that this article is lifted and needs to be rewritten. The reason given that it should be deleted is that it is "unused", but I think it has its place since it is useful, even if it isn't currently being used. --Pinkkeith 10:21, 23 November 2007 (EST)
- It has never been used in the entire history of our site, nor should it. Why Wikipedia? Should we have a flag for IMDb ripoffs or plagiarism from Memory Alpha? We don't get a lot of people copying directly from Wikipedia, and when we do, we simply remove it or change it. We don't flag it or excuse it. Even though the template recommends rewriting the stolen content, the very existence of the template infers that it's okay to begin with a lift from Wikipedia, and that's simply not the case. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:26, 24 November 2007 (EST)
