Copypasting
Please don't copypaste text from external sources like you did in the Supergirl article. It's extremely detrimental to the wiki. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 03:39, June 27, 2017 (UTC)

Appologies, though the plot is the plot. I could have typed the summary word for word but chose to copy and past as information is information. I saw nothing to add to the summary of the plot as I've not read the issue myself and have nothing to add. I do however understand your concern- especially due to having a few wikis of my own and having to clean up from people who simply copy wikipedia with out removing links to wikipedia. I hope to assure you that when I do copy and paste it's not out of laziness- but rather a lack of resources or from the fact that a fact is a fact. If I state a fact it will appear the same way each time. I do not have the issue and haven't been a fan of DC but saw the subheading empty and in need of detail. While most of the details are in the first segment someone felt the ned to have it organized in a subheading. I began with my own opening before pasting the plot summary as provided by the DC Comics Wiki- a site I imagine has been made by people far more knowledgeable in Supergirl then I. Be assured that I tend to use copy and paste either from source I know to have more details then I or from my own text documents to the site. I typically only use copy and paste for direct quotes; such as from a movie script. You may see such quote in the Alien (Plan 9 from Outer Space) article. The film quote (the message) is the only aspect of that article I copied and pasted as I had just finished watching the film before creating the page. I will however endeavor to avoid copy and pasting save in quoting other articles, scripts, etc.

PS: I appreciate your efforts to keep these articles grammarically correct and preserve the appearance of the wiki. I know full well how messy a wiki site can look when it's composed of vast material someone copied from another site with out additions to the content or a reorganization of it or other form of tidy up to make it presentable to the audiance of a specific wiki. I've had people copy articles with out regard to a wiki's format. I really do appreciate how you've made me aware of my various grammerical errors perpetrated by myself.

VPS: I regret any aggression that has come through in this response. Baron Joshua (talk) 03:57, June 27, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for understanding, and surely, quotes are definitely fine :) -- BlueFrackle (talk) 15:47, June 28, 2017 (UTC)
