We don't copy things from Liberapedia. This doesn't benefit either wiki, Proxima. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!I kill spider 07:21, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

I think it avioids duplicating effort, Jelly. Proxima Centauri 07:23, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
How? If we can't tackle a subject in a way that justifies our seperation from Liberapedia (or vice versa), then we have no business tackling it at all. Proxima. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!I kill spider 07:25, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
I found this source. SusanG  ContribsTalk 07:26, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
Guess who it's by. Multitasking Proxima? SusanG  ContribsTalk 07:27, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
Exactly what I said. Jinx! <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!I kill spider 07:28, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
Amusingly, that site seems to be more or less a fork of some of our articles. --AKjeldsenPotential fundamentalist! 07:33, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
Mmm there's PC, BobM & Barbara Shack on there. SusanG  ContribsTalk 07:37, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
You're jinxed! You're not allowed to speak until you can get someone to say your full name. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!I kill spider 07:43, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

Copying stuff can improve secular wikis as it reduced duplication of work. Perhaps we need a policy.
Yes, User:AKjeldsen I copied quite a bit from here. Proxima Centauri 08:22, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

We have different purposes to those wikis -- if we were to produce material from scratch it would be fundementally different to theirs, not duplication at all. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!I kill spider 08:37, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
I don't know how many votes there are for deletion but I second them. Spamming every wiki you can find with the same poorly-written articles doesn't help anyone. Sorry, PC. ħumanUser talk:Human 15:36, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
I agree with Human. Jollyfish.gifGenghisunbelieving 15:39, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

I gave this a wee rewrite, to make it a bit more serious, but left the last few sentences as a little bit of snark. Feel free to still delete it if you want, though. Zmidponk 17:39, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

Not sure I saw the snark (besides the EL), but it is at least written reasonably well now. Postponing deletionz for now... ħumanUser talk:Human 21:07, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

Other meanings[edit]

Isnt it a little silly to have these other meanings in an article thats about biology?? Pegasus (talk) 02:32, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Still content[edit]

Any particular reason why there's still content here, if it redirects elsewhere? —Kazitor, pending 06:18, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
