Please do not create articles by copying and pasting text from Wikipedia. The {{template|WikipediaBased}} template was something that was of use when Bulbapedia was just starting, but it should not be used to create new Bulbapedia articles. I personally like the idea of a [[Pokémon Shock]] article, but it needs to be made from scratch, not by copying from Wikipedia. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:00, 2 May 2015 (UTC) | Please do not create articles by copying and pasting text from Wikipedia.

:The only reason I used the template was for the sake of transparency. Even if you try to change the wording, it would've ended up similar to Wikipedia, which itself used the information from the sources listed in the references.

::Right, and it's better that you used the template than didn't. However, the article had significant portions almost entirely copied from Wikipedia, which is just not acceptable. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 15:13, 2 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
