User talk:Pokemaster97/Archive 3: Difference between revisions

:Not to be rude, but I might be able to explain what seems to have happened.  I looked at Serebii's synopsis of episode {{tt|220|222 on Serebii}} to compare the two.  After seeing what looked like massive copying, I noticed a few details.  Serebii credits a user named "Xeno Lugia" for the guide, however there is no user named Xeno Lugia on Bulbapedia.  Looking closer, the edits to the Bulbapedia article [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP220&diff=next&oldid=52350|were made in 2006] and by a inactive [[User:Fabu-Vinny|staff member]], which seemed funny as they should have been noticed sooner.  In addition, the edit summary is just "Synopsis by Altomare Latios"  Looking at the Serebii guide, you will find a link is placed at Xeno Lugia to "[email protected]" and there is a [[user:Altomare Latios|user named Altomare Latios]].  Looking at their userspace, it appears that the two users are one and it seems we have consent to use their synopsis as long as credit is given.

:Granted, there are {{tt|several|Should we note that it is by Altomare's summary in a more noticeable way?}} {{tt|potential|What would happen if Altomare wanted to revoke use of their summary? Could it violate the 'Do not submit the work of others without permission' clause or be alright due to past consent?}} {{tt|issues|Do we leave them up as they are or take them down to be replaced?}} that this could bring up.  Though, it is important to note that Serebii seems to only have permission to have the guide as long as credit is given, much like our situation.  Not to mention, it doesn't seem like Altomare has had a problem with us using it over the past seven year.  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
