Talk:Stormsong Valley

So a lot of the official description that was put back in exactly copies Blizzard's Stormsong Valley Visitor's Guide, while other parts paraphrase it. To avoid such plagiarism, I replaced this with newly written words.

(For reference, three quotes from the guide follow.)

Q u o t e:

The lands of Stormsong Valley are lush with green grasses and rock-strewn rolling hills. Wildlife and plant growth thrive here, fed by the inland streams and the invigorating sea air. It is a region made rich by the harmony between both land and sea.
[...]
The Highland Pass is the only land route into Stormsong Valley, but a blockade halts passage between Brennadam and the rest of Kul Tiras. Once you find a way through, you’ll crest the pass to take in the breathtaking sight of the land stretched out before you.

Q u o t e:

On the western coast, Fort Daelin is under siege by the naga. Brutes pummel the stone walls even as harpoons drive further into the walls above them. Without aid, the levee holding back the sea will plunge the fertile valley into the naga-infested depths.

Q u o t e:

Emboldened by the soldiers neglecting their duties, vicious creatures have encroached on the noble people of Stormsong. Whether it’s ettin in Millstone Hamlet or the territorial quilboar, these threats will only grow more aggressive without someone to push them back.

It's not really plagiarism when using official, free sources. We rarely get them, so we might as well use them on wowpedia Xporc (talk) 08:57, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
WP:Copyright policy#Fair use 2 does say "Do not reproduce Blizzard's text to fill in the substantive content of an article", so in this case it's probably preferable to not quote directly from the visitor's guide. -- IconSmall TrollDeathKnight Male.gif DeludedTroll (talkcontribs) 11:38, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Yeah well not at the price of removing canon information Xporc (talk) 11:44, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
