You are sending mixed messages.

At first, you came on this wiki full of how you were going to clean it up and to come to you about an issues going on on this wiki as you were now the bureaucrat. You asked for examples of Dragonboy546's plagiarism / copyright infringements.

We gave you lots of examples, and you said you were investigating. You implied you would take action from your investigations. So far, you have not taken any actions that I can see.

I feel I need to point out again that Dragonboy546 has been banned and warned by several other wikis for the same cut-and-paste behavior.

No matter if his cut-and-paste behavior is covered by the Wikia "fair use" policy, I'm pretty sure a) he needs to ask permission and b) he needs to attribute the work to that author, authors, or wiki. A) He has not asked for permission in many cases and b) he has attributed the work to himself. I'm pretty sure that is a massive breach of Fandom rules right there, if not possibly the law in cases of copyright infringement.

You also have (several times) stated I and other users on this wiki are "breaking the rules", but you have failed to point out which rules exactly and where those rules are published by Fandom / Wikia.

Now, you are saying there is nothing you can do about articles which are copied pretty much word-for-word, both from other wiki sites and external Web sites, and you are passing the buck on to Fandom staff members.

Either step up and be the bureaucrat you said you were going to be in the beginning (and I understand it if you need help with weeding this site out with all the articles on it), step aside and let someone who can handle the workload take over as bureaucrat, or ask Fandom to cull this wiki if a good chunk or majority of the articles end up being copied from another source without permission. (A back up would be a good idea first.)

I get that it's hard work being a bureaucrat or administrator on these wikis, but really, this particular wiki is an absolute mess, especially when it comes to cut-and-pasted works from all over the place.
