Talk:Hyperion airship

copied work

The following is excerpted from the AFD discussion, and placed here because the content and topic addressed in this part of that discussion would be of potential relevance to future editors of this article (and a review of the AFD discussion might be missed):

• Information / Question Why is the WP content almost identical to this external site:[1]? Is this article Wikipedia text or is it Disney wiki text, in which case it needs to be purged ? FeatherPluma (talk) 00:27, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Nice catch on the copypasta. Stuck a dupe tag with the URL to the Wikia article. Is this copyvio?--Dennis The Tiger (Rawrand stuff) 01:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Even if it was copied from a Wikia-hosted site, nearly everything at Wikia is CC-by-sa anyway. There would have been a need to credit it (in some articles this already happens), there certainly wouldn't be any need to "purge" content sourced from Wikia.

    • The Disney wikia is cc-by-sa at any rate, but if we had copied from there, it would still be a copyvio if we didn't attribute. Nyttend (talk) 01:55, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
• Comment Much of the content on our article, including substantial amounts of essentially-identical wording, were present in the earliest revision (3 February 2008), while the Wikia page history shows that the page over there was created just two months ago. It's a copyvio, but in reverse — they refused to attribute us, not vice versa. Nyttend(talk) 14:24, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
