Hi there,

I wanted to check in about someting. I noticed that some of the articles you have created in the past are copied directly from Wikipeda. For example, List of video game soundtracks released on vinyl.

We really discourage direct copying from Wikipedia. A community should have its own approach to content. Copied content can also harm the search ranking of a site, since Google penalizes a site if there is too much duplicated from elsewhere.

I would like to encourage you to look back at copied content and try to make it more unique to the Music Wiki.

At the very least, you must give proper attribution to the authors of the copied Wikipedia content, per the licensing terms that both Wikia and Wikipedia share. You can do this by adding a template that I created: Template:WikipediaAttribution. I already added this to the soundtrack vinyl article linked above.

We're still happy to have you as an admin here, but please respond and confirm that you understand. Thanks!
