Guild Wars Wiki talk:Original Work

Umm...
This proposed policy directly goes against the guiding concept of the wiki, especially in consideration of Guild_Wars_Wiki:Copyrights. I can't see any way one could justify a policy of this nature in that light. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 03:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * this policy is made of fail. - FireFox [[Image:firefoxav.png]] 03:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If we implement this policy, we should also amend the copyright policy to exempt all user edits to their own pages and all user images (excluding grandfathered GFDL edits and images predating the policy change). It doesn't make sense to restrict the use of GFDL content. -- Gordon Ecker 03:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well people shouldn't have the right to take other peoples work and call it their own and not give any recognition and credit to the original author.-- §  Eloc   §  03:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As long as they are within the bounds of the GFDL, they're allowed to do whatever they wish. [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 04:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * "Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others." If they ain't giving credit, then it is violationg the GNU Free Documentaion License.-- §  Eloc   §  04:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * So go ask someone not to violate the GFDL if you believe they are. But there's no need for the policy proposed here, which goes far beyond that. [[Image:User Aiiane-a.gif|Go to Aiiane's Talk page]] (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 04:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm against this being made policy. It effectively bypasses the GFDL for user-space content.  If the only issue is giving credit, that's already addressed in the GFDL so this policy isn't needed for that purpose. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 04:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Very much not something that needs to be/should be regulated by policy. Fully against.
 * On the other hand, I would be willing to support a version of this policy along slightly different linesMisterPepe talk 04:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Put your builds on pvx or teambuilder or something if you don't want [Rift] random people stealing them. - Auron 04:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait, could I make a policy for credit? Like it could be Guild Wars Wiki:Giving Credit Where Due, in which it forces people to give credit if they take something Original from you. The purpose of this would be because people won't read GNU but they will read the Policys here on the site if we tell em about em.-- §  Eloc   §  04:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I strongly do not support this policy it goes against the GNU. If somebody copies something from you simply tell them they did so and they shouldn't. Simple as that. There is no benefit to this policy. --Sktbrd341 04:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Which one? This one or the one I'm pondering?-- §  Eloc   §  04:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Currently this one. Will judge on the other one if it ever pops up. --Sktbrd341 04:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, I think I'll give up on this one.-- §  Eloc   §  04:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Rather than deleting it outright, I tagged it with rejected policy instead. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png|sig]] 05:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Why? It wasn't even finished so how could if even gain/lose concensus when it wasn't even done?-- §  Eloc   §  05:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, I doubt this will ever become policy, but I do think that it's a bit premature to tag it as rejected policy while it's still in the draft stage on the same day that work started on it. -- Gordon Ecker 05:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Just delete it. If it was made today why put rejected? I just want it delete. No need to even keep it even if it's not even done.-- §  Eloc   §  06:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It can be speedy deleted under G3 MisterPepe talk 06:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've tagged it since Eloc asked for it to be deleted. -- Gordon Ecker 06:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
