Okay, this doesn't strictly fit the definition of Plagiarism, as the individual who did the following hasn't logged in, so hasn't attempted to claim credit for the content.
What am I talking about?
An almost anonymous user has been populating some first season Lost episode pages. That I support. However, I'm not so sure about the fact that they have done so by simply copying the show summaries from the ABC website.
I will be going through the pages that this user has created and replacing them with a template that I've designed for Lost show episodes. I'll include links to the original text from the ABC site, so you can all still read it.
My point: We didn't ask ABC if we could copy their text. Be creative, write your own summaries.
If more than one person has a take on a show, we can easily have pages set up for alternative views.
Remember: if you want to contribute to the Wiki, please create an account. That way if someone wants to ask you a questions about what you have done, they can do so easily.
Thanks,
As a foot-note: thanks to the other anonymous user who corrected my mistake in saying that The Other 48 Days didn't have any flashbacks. When the whole episode was one big flashback.
