Nathan, I get what you're saying, but I don't think anything (in the first post anyway) is overly extreme. The first 5 users I list in that post have repeated instances of plagiarism:


 * Leowilk and Marvel and DC Editor, for obvious reasons.
 * I personally combed through Greekpimp's edits myself and compared timestamps of his massive additions to our pages and the corresponding timestamps on Wikipedia's articles; he may never have been confronted, but he's still guilty
 * Gemnist has been in trouble before with taking from Wikipedia, and he's on the list because he was recently caught again.
 * While this was a first time for Jack over here at Marvel, you can see on his DC wall that he's been warned multiple times by their team for copying content.

No one wants us to demonize mostly decent users like Greekpimp, Gemnist or JackNapier, but it's in the interest of the site to recheck the updates of users we have proof plagiarized.

Older material is also a concern. As far as those pages for the Mythological guide go: I did clear a ton of content from the Demeter and Hera pages. Where they originally our? Perhaps so, but they were also completely unsourced (or close to it), and matched the other site down to the punctuation marks. The, coupled with the fact that the Mythological Guide site pulls in real-world myth into the comic profiles of the Pantheons, and it seemed like too many things to ignore, and so the content was cleared.
