Hi Daniel, it has come to my attention that you are, once again, trying to reinvent the wheel by creating a Wikia that contains content that has already been published in a different Wikia. (Refer: previous incident regarding your LLSIF Wikia, taking content from the then-existing LLSIF Wiki, and these days our Love Live! Wikia too, freely without credit.) I understand your burning desire to be the Bureaucrat of a Wikia of your own, but it is my wish that you remember what are the responsibilities and roles of a community leader. (Refer: previous incident regarding your German language Love Live! Wikia, where our users willingly helped you out, only to find out you have no clue about German and copy-pasted wholesale from Google Translate).

It is not my wish to shame you publicly, but when you finally do something that offends me personally, then it is, as the kids say, time for some real talk.

I would like to first refer you to the Wikia's Community Creation Policy, Section Additional guidelines, Subsection Duplicate wikias. Specifically, the following points:


 * If you don't rewrite topics in your own words, you may be tempted to copy from other freely licensed wikias. If you do, you must remember:
 * Copying the hard work of a dedicated community may cause hard feelings, damaging the reputation of your wikia and making it more difficult to attract contributors
 * You may not copy content from other wikias, or from Wikipedia, without providing proper credit and a link back to the source
 * Duplicating the exact text of another website severely penalizes the search engine results for the more recent wikia

If you really want a separate wikia on an existing topic, please use your creativity to present the information in a different way -- you could be serious where others are silly (or vice versa), be opinionated where others are neutral, focus on fan activity or trivia rather than encyclopedic information, or anything else that will set you apart from existing projects. A wikia which only copies content from other wikias may be closed, if it fails to provide credit or begin editing the text to make the project different and distinct.

I now present exhibit A, your page on Uranohoshi Girls' High School. I notice that it bears striking resemblance to our page on the same topic. In fact, you've copied it so wholesale you didn't even realise your own Wikia doesn't have a Stub Template just yet.

Following that, I present exhibit B, your news page where the Sunshine news is gathered. All your information presented here is copied entirely off our Wikia's news thread. I take special note here of both your seiyuu lineup (which is badly formatted because you actually have no idea how to do Wikia code and was just copying off us again) and the translations.

In case you didn't know, translators on the internet are very, very mad when people steal their translations without credit. This is why we are very stringent on sourcing information on this Wikia. And I already know for certain that you don't know a single bit of Japanese (refer: your claim to have been studying Japanese for 3 years but still can't understand any Kanji), but I don't really need to know that when you copied my translations wholesale.

Moving forward, here are my demands.
 * 1) To cease and desist any wholesale reproduction of material from our Wikia for the purpose of filling your Wikias with information. Or in cases where it cannot be avoided, refer to point 2.
 * 2) To cite your references properly on every page (or every single news-post where applicable) in your Sunshine!! Wikia.
 * 3) To properly source and credit any translations that may be used for the purpose of your Wikia.

I will await 24 hours for a reasonable reply from you, whereupon if none is received, I will submit a takedown request to Wikia staff for violation of their Community Creation Policy. But honestly speaking, as your Sunshine!! Wikia contains information that will only be sourced from ours (again, refer to the point where you don't know a shred of Japanese), it is in everyone's best interests that you close it entirely.
