Aidan is a visitor to this wiki. While working on my own projects I came across the Aerunian page of this site which had copied large chunks of text verbatim from mine without attribution, in violation of the Creative Commons license my site is published under (and more importantly, in sloppy ways that made large parts of the article meaningless). Other parts of the text of the page are recognizable as being copied from other sources, such as the D&D player's handbook. (I suspect some of the other pages created by the original author of the Aerunian page are copied verbatim from other sources, probably the d20 Star Wars book or something similar, but that's none of my business.)
The sysops have responded to my comment promptly and the page is under investigation. I am content to assume that this will be adequately resolved, and I have no ill-will toward this site or any of its users regarding the incident. If the investigators wish to contact me they may do so either in my User_talk page here, or through e-mail.
I am currently moving my own wiki from the UseModWiki software I set up over 5 years ago, to a new MediaWiki install. So I'm taking this opportunity to look around this wiki to see what you guys have done with the software while I learn what I can do with my own. Nice wiki.
