Hi there,

I'm not sure how to handle an article containing substantial amounts of text copied from a WoW Insider article. The article is Lilian Voss.

Anne Stickney published this article on January 2nd 2011. This diff on 5th June shows material being added in from the 12th, 13th and 16th paragraphs of that article.

What's the best solution here? Do we roll back the article to the pre 5th June state?

Thanks in advance, Gazimoff (talk) 09:55, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Update - just seen the same thing with Wrathion. This diff shows material from the 9th, 12th, 14th and 15th paragraphs of this article from WoW Insider. There may be other examples in other lore articles. Cheers, Gazimoff (talk) 10:05, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

This should not be happening; feel free to revert it if you notice other instances (ideally merging any relevant subsequent edits into the revert). — foxlit (talk) 22:18, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
