Hello, while we appreaciate your zeal in importing pages from Wikipedia, the GFDL license (which applies both to Wikipedia and Wikia) does require attribution be present. And we need to abide by the attribution requirements to a certain minimal extent, such as in the edit summary, talk page, or most commonly as a template on the page itself if the bulk of the content is from another Wiki. w:Template:Wikipedia is a good base template to copy here and build from (and also should be attributed in the creation summary as coming from the central Wikia).
Also, you may wish to get general consensus from the semi-inactive communty here before continuing with the imports. Direct copying may not be in the spirit of the community the rest of the editors comprise of. --w:User:Splarka|Splarka (w:User_talk:Splarka|talk) 10:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
