Gundam Wiki: Battle of the CopyPasta!

I was poking around the Gundam Wiki for some odd reason when I started noticing some of the odd titles that we have logged in our database. Granted, what we have here isn’t much… mainly just some information that I scrounged up on the fly and what not just to explain some base points to fans. Well, I decided to click around and discovered that a vast majority of entries contained information that was pretty much lifted verbatim from my website. Granted, I don’t really care in the long run, but the fact remains that credit wasn’t given to the original source.

This shit pisses me off.

I’ll keep this rant short and relatively to the point. I don’t slap up random things here and there for people because I have to, it’s because I want to. There’s a huge section of the Gundam world that most people don’t know about, and I’ve been aiming to fill some of those voids any way I can. I take the time and effort to find minute things out about the series that I have filling my shelves and I scour various Japanese sources that do a better job of tying loose ends together than I do so that I can attempt some form of comprehensive coverage. But, what I hate in the end is when people just take shit and slap it up in another public domain for others to see without a care in the world.

Research your own shit then. This site will never be a comprehensive source for everything Gundam (I wanted to do that eons ago), but it will be home to a niche crowd of smaller titles that very little is known about. If you wanna repost something, just ask. I’ll gladly allow you to. Hell, I’ll even tell you if and when I’ve changed something so information doesn’t conflict. =)
