Non-Disc Record - Agent Seadrus

Summary:

didn't attribute when taking rules page directly for CII wiki, unhelpful feedback

Two issues:

1. Stole our rules, didn't attribute 'em, covered here: http://05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-673890/cii-wiki
2. Has been giving fellow newbies confusing or outright wrong feedback, notably here: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-673793/paradox-box-owlman

Sent the poor bastard the following wall of text:

Hi Seadrus,

I'm PMing you for two reasons.

One:

We've noticed that you've been giving iffy or outright incorrect feedback to other newbies. Meanwhile, the quality of your own work remains very low.

The end result of this is that you're confusing other newbie writers and creating a headache for staff and more experienced users, as your feedback generally is going to contradict theirs.

My advice would be: please refrain from giving feedback to other users for now.

Focus on improving your skills as a writer, and the quality of your work. Once you fix your own stuff, you'll know how to fix the stuff of others.

I'd recommend joining #site19 if you're looking to acclimate to the community faster.

Two: We noticed that on your CII wiki, you've lifted pages from our site, without proper attribution and a link back. Notably, you copy/pasted our Site Rules, and made a few tweaks of your own.

While your main site is properly attributed, you must use proper attribution and provide a link back on all pages you copy/pasted from our site. By not doing so, you are already violating the terms of the CC license. If you don't fix this, we will ask Wikidot to remove the offending pages, so please do fix it.

Please feel free to PM me or another member of staff with any questions.

Another (much shorter, though more obvious) example of the iffy advice-giving is this thread: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-673815/therapist-revolver-cylinder#post-1819177

I'm pegging this down as overconfidence. He's pretty active on the Cii wiki, but experience there doesn't translate to experience on the mainsite.

His reply:

I do not have please of using IRC. It destroyed my computer.

Secondly, is the site rules the only page? If not, please tell me about the pages that are not properly attributed.
Thank you.

Thirdly - I will lay off of the commenting. :P

(BTW - you are the first one to use the term CI correctly. Everyone else calls it CII. Thanks!)

EDIT: My reply—

> I do not have please of using IRC. It destroyed my computer.

Huh? I don't think you typed this correctly. The grammar makes no sense.

There is no reason IRC should destroy your computer, if wikidot doesn't. Have you tried using Mibbit? If you're mobile, there are IRC apps for smartphones and tablets as well. If you don't have access to any of those things, I'm somewhat surprised thast you're able to access our site at all, but it's your call.

> Secondly, is the site rules the only page? If not, please tell me about the pages that are not properly attributed.

It's your wiki. It isn't our job to ensure that you follow the legal rules of the license on your wiki. Just go find any pages that you know you took from our site, and make sure they're properly attributed.

> Thirdly - I will lay off of the commenting. :P

Please do try to improve your writing as well. Then you can start commenting again, and people with useful comments are very valuable!

> (BTW - you are the first one to use the term CI correctly. Everyone else calls it CII. Thanks!)

They're calling it the CII wiki because the URL has CII in it, as do the names of the items. :P
