Do you think I did not believe that people copy content on the internet. I am well aware of that. I do not run the internet. I just help maintain one site. Yes I know this and many other pages are copied entirely. Wikipedias have rules against copied content though it is unfair to the original writers who take the time to write something down and spend hours cataloging data to have their work claimed by someone else.

Put yourself in that position for a moment. You said you aren't good at writing and it takes to long. Well what if you did write a whole article what if you spent a half hour or an hour or more taking the time to fully slush out a character, making the content informative, reader friendly and detailed? Now imagine if another Wikipedia contributor just copied what you wrote and passed it off as their own work, worse what if the Admins did not try to stop them when they found out. Maybe you wouldn't care, a lot of people would, they would feel cheated. Maybe the Admin puts up a "From another wiki" link, but if the entire site is made up there is no point to visiting the site at all is there?

Since Wikipedias are entirely voluntary and contributor base there is a llaissez-fairebetween us to make the effort to respect each other wiki's content
