Just a heads up for everyone who writes fan fic or creates fan art. Keep an eye on Memory Gamma, as plagiarism is once again rearing its head there. It's a periodic thing, and something sadly perhaps to be expected, but if you're an author or artist, it would behoove you to check MG every now and then and make sure no one's been passing off your work as their own. Having a wiki for the actual writing/posting of fanfic may be a nice thing, but I've seen far too many contributors there rip off matieral from other fan authors, with the wiki's administration and policies too lax to do anything about it. Just keep an eye out for your stuff. --TimPendragon (talk) 11:07, March 15, 2018 (UTC)
I've been doing things about it, and I've addressed the issue.

Please remove this post. I have addressed the issue and have done what you have requested.

- Absolutely not. Just because one instance has been fixed, I'm not going to remove a warning about a site that has been plagued by plagiarism in the past, and very well may be in the future. Creators need to be aware. --TimPendragon (talk) 17:36, March 16, 2018 (UTC)
- Sure, but please stop launching attacks on users. It doesn't help the situation.
- I've not attacked anyone. I warned you that Typhuss was banned here for a variety of reasons, and I called Dragonboy out on his plagiarism and theft. If speaking the truth and warning others about users who have proven to be problems in the past an "attack," then sure. --TimPendragon (talk) 18:55, March 16, 2018 (UTC)
- You literally called him a "little boy" and told him there was something wrong with him. But I'm done arguing. electrictalk 19:54, March 16, 2018 (UTC)ElectricSupernova
- Those aren't attacks, they're statements of obvious fact. Literally no one but a child says "You're not my dad, you can't tell me what to do" as a defense when called out on a misdeed; and having stolen someone else's creation then defending that act as "no big deal" definitely means there's something wrong. The fact that you're reaction to this entire situation is to be more concerned about the thief's feelings than the theft in the first place shows you to be a bad admin. You don't want to argue, but on your wiki, you've continued the argument and locked me out of it. Your own actions belie your words. At this point, your umbrage is worth nothing more than an eye roll. Be warned that screenshots of every conversation relating to this issue on Memory Gamma have been saved and crossposted to Reddit, STPMA, TrekCreative and everywhere fanfiction writers gather, as a warning. You now have a cadre of interested parties acting as watchdogs. You've proven to be ineffectual and unwilling to respond to plagiarism in the manner you should. The next time plagiarized material shows up on Memory Gamma, expect to receive DMCA notices through Wikia, because alerting you to the issue and expecting you to care is obviously not going to produce the needed outcome. --TimPendragon (talk) 04:13, March 17, 2018 (UTC)

- What exactly is going on here? Where is the alleged plagarism, who committed it (do they have an account here and might the plagarized information have been put up here too?), and where was the information stolen from? As it is, this conversation is little more than a drama argument, and may not be pertinent to this wiki. Worffan101 (talk) 07:46, March 17, 2018 (UTC)
- I discovered material from the Star Trek: Dark Horizon website (author Michael Gray) had been used without permission on Memory Gamma, with a user there passing it off as his own. I alerted the admins there, one of whom is the responsible plagiarist, and contacted the original author about it. As one of the senior admins here on STEU, I posted a warning to fellow creators while the drama was ongoing. The resulting "discussion" here is unfortunate, but probably inevitable. In any case, pertinent information, including the screenshots from Memory Gamma, can be found here on Reddit. --TimPendragon (talk) 09:04, March 17, 2018 (UTC)
- People re-use fan works and works all the time. Just look at [1]. It's being used fairly just as your Edram Cale image is.

- Thanks for pointing out Memory Delta, Typhuss' wiki that he created after being banned for plagiarism here. DMCA notices have been issued. --TimPendragon (talk) 15:36, March 17, 2018 (UTC)
- OK, I took a look on Memory Gamma, and I didn't see any conversations about this. Then I took a look at your contribs there because I figured you might've posted a wall message about it and figured that was the quickest way to find such.
Several conversations about this matter were deleted on Memory Gamma. essentially, there seems to have been a targeted effort to remove evidence of any plagarism or discussion of plagarism, by the Memory Gamma administration. Do you have screenshots to confirm the plagarism and/or confirmation of who was engaging in plagarism? Worffan101 (talk) 20:17, March 17, 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't delete them to cover it up. I deleted them to avoid further conflicts, but I will restore them. Before it gets worse, can I say my side of the story?

- Plus, if you look at Media:EdramCale.jpg, you can see it's completely derived from another work. I don't know if he asked permission or not. But if he didn't, that's still the same thing. He modified some else's work, and used it as his own. I suppose to some people that would be plagiarism!
I've apologized to him and I've done my part, but he's not doing his. He says that what we're not doing is okay, yet he's continuously threatening us just because we don't agree with him. I didn't punish Dragon because I felt what he did was fair use, and while he did use a character, he added more to it. Isn't that what you're doing with that Arthur Darvill image? You're adding to the images. I don't think it's fair of you to accuse us of something that you're already doing. ElectricSupernova 21:24, March 17, 2018 (UTC)ElectricSupernova
