Hello, Frie-ice! I'm Ember, you probably don't know me as I was a contributor here a bit before your time, but I helped this Wiki in 2014-2015 with vandalism and a troll, as well as assisting the previous Admin, XxxPitlsaxxx, in her adoption of this Wiki, codes and handling User issues. I am also the Chat Mod and Moderator of the Rise Of The Guardians Wiki, since 2015.

That being said, this is NOT a warning and I chose to write this on my own accord without informing the Admins above me, so this is NOT to be treated like an official statement on behalf of our Wiki. However, I read two pages on this Wiki about two characters from ROTG, Jack Frost and Jack Frost's Sister, and noticed that some information had been copied-and-pasted from the ROTG Wiki. I can give examples of this if you would like.

While I know those two pages have been around longer than you have been an Admin and so you probably won't know, I was wondering if anyone had reached out to one of our Administrators beforehand. I did some research and found that you are also on the ROTG Wiki, but no mention of this was made. Again, I know this happened long before you became an Admin, so I don't expect you to know about it automatically, and therefore did not expect to see any messages to the Admins from you about this.

The person who added the copied-and-pasted info on the Jack Frost's Sister page was Erebus Elysium (replacement account), who also has contributed to the ROTG Wiki, but made no effort to reach out the Admins (I can provide a link to their edit as well as their Profile on the ROTG Wiki if you would like). The person who copied-and-pasted onto the Jack Frost page was RhiRhiHime, who has never edited on the ROTG Wiki and never made any attempt to reach out to the Admins either (again, I can provide a link to their edit and their Profile on the ROTG Wiki).

Their edit summary was this:

 I used the basic information from the ROTG wiki here, but I'm not very good with relationships and stuff, so someone else should type up his relationships with the others in the Big Four

So they did know what they were doing, but never gave any credit.

Again, this is not a warning nor on behalf of our Wiki, it is simply something I noticed and thought I would bring up as none of the former or active Admins from our Wiki have ever contributed on this Wiki, so they probably don't know that the info was copied seemingly without credit. As far as I can find, no one reached out to any of them, either.

Thanks for reading,

~Ember
