Well, this is somewhat familiar. [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Luminoth I wonder…] Sarcasm aside, I also find that the [[Queen Metroid]] and [[Spazer Beam]] articles of the same nature, being paraphrased off of our wiki. You clearly state in your [[Metroid Wiki: | Well, this is somewhat familiar. [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Luminoth I wonder…] Sarcasm aside, I also find that the [[Queen Metroid]] and [[Spazer Beam]] articles of the same nature, being paraphrased off of our wiki. You clearly state in your [[Metroid Wiki:Policy|Quality Standards]] that things like this shouldn't happen, yet they continue to persist. Kindly remind your users to stop plagiarizing from Wikitroid articles at once; paraphrasing off of Wikitroid without citing us is still considered plagiarism.

:Hey. Just checked it out, and I certainly agree that it was pretty much paraphrased from Wikitroid. I'm not in charge of anything, though, so I'll leave any official commenting to the staff, but I can assure you that this wiki will not stand for that at all.{{:User:Neo/sig}} 23:32, 18 March 2010 (UTC) | :Hey.

:::You should also know that [[Metroid: Zero Mission]] is also paraphrased. I can't seem to find any more c+p-ed versions of our pages, but if I find any more, I'll let you guys know.

::::I am aware of that page, Neo pointed it out the other day. To be fair, everything down to where it shows a Samus quote is actually directly from the manual. While your site has it, I don't think in this case it is wrong for us to have it to. It is word for word from the manual. AFTER THAT, I agree that it isn't reworded enough, but not enough for me to put it as a priority to deal with. Eventually though, yeah the page will be spruced up better..
