Yesterday's Rose 5h ago

Looking at a random game #FandomWiki. It appears to have a bunch of cleanup tags that basically say "plagiarism from the books".

...oh, NOW they've somehow started worrying about plagiarism. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Back when I used to use Fandom more often, I found it pretty cringe that a lot of the editors in lots of wikis just copy-pasted the official source material to the site without a second though, or marking the sources, or even framing the stuff as quotes. This was *rampant.*

#Wikipedia curbed that sort of behaviour immediately, because, you know, it's a community of users with an ethos and stuff and quality is important. Fandom never cared because to the money men, the quality of the wiki content is irrelevant, they just need lots of it and have high SEO rankings. My guess is that *someone* got mildly antsy about liabilities.

“If at First You Don’t Succeed…” part 2 #WIP and a #Wiki update

Petunia will be re-introduced in this part! Her design is almost the same as from before, but with earrings added. She looks to be on stage, about to introduce something or someone…

I also updated my project wiki with the color boxes for several characters’ hair and eye colors since I forgot to add them earlier. Tedious but I’m glad to get that done. I’ll need to revisit even more of the articles later with redesigns 😅

The articles for the other two characters re-introduced from Part 1 are almost ready and I might publish them today or tomorrow.

The day you wake up and wonder, what's Fandom actually?...

"Founded in 2004 by Jimmy Wales (yes, the Wikipedia guy) and Angela Beesley Starling (a British web entrepreneur), Fandom (originally Wikicities, and later Wikia) was a new platform that built off the core technology powering Wikipedia in order to super serve the needs of an incredibly passionate set of customers: fans!"

Here an example of page:

https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Military_beret

Military beret

Berets have been a component of the uniforms of many armed forces throughout the world since the mid-20th century. Military berets are usually pushed to the right to free the shoulder that bears the rifle on most soldiers, but the armies of some European countries have influenced the push to the left. Berets are in some countries particularly associated with elite units, who often wear berets in more unusual colours. Examples include the grey of the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing...
