Is this template for real? It's basically telling people that it's ok to copy stuff as long as there are some minor changes made to assure nobody knows it was originally stolen. When I was in school, behavior such as this this was referred to as "copying" (i.e. "cheating"), and it was rewarded with an F. I think I don't need to elaborate on how wrong this is. An authentic wiki should aspire to write their own articles from scratch and reject copying instead of encouraging it. If you want to get your wiki off the ground in a solid way, you should make sure it promotes a proper editing philosophy as early as possible, and get rid of morally ambiguous templates such as this one.
Thanks for the attention. I hope you will think about this. - 94.219.234.200 (that's Edofenrir from NIWA) 22:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
