Wookiepedia plagarized...

Post by Ender »

... by Conservapedia.
Tonight, instead of playing around with the front page and the news items at Conservapedia, I clicked their "random page" link. The first click brought me to their entry for The Thrawn Trilogy - a series of Star Wars novels. This particular entry was entirely plagiarized from this Star Wars wiki, with one minor exception - they left out three words.
Hyperlinks at source.

Uh... so. Isn't the point of Wikis that you don't do any original work or some such.

So, what are the three words?
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

You're not allowed to do transcripts of an actual source, only paraphrasing. And that goes from wiki to wiki, too. But this is just hilarious.
