I... have been plagiarized by the Prince of Tennis Wikia. The overview section of the page on Muga no Kyouchi is lifted word for word from my tenipuri website. Without credit, which is important, because all my sites are under the Creative Commons noncommercial-share alike-attribution license. It's on every page.

I suppose they could have gotten it from my LJ/DW, but that just makes it more egregious, because those entries do not have the CC license on them and should be assumed to be hands-off unless stated otherwise.

I'm torn between disgusted and amused. What do people think? Should I edit it out and leave a note to do it right next time, or just add a source note, or what? Alas, the person who added that section was not a registered user, so I can't smack them personally on the wrist.

At the very minimum, add a source note. I'm guessing that since it's "information" and not "fic" and people seem to have no clue when it comes to plagiarism, the person who stole it didn't think it seemed important to give credit.

And chances are good that even if you edited it out, they'd come back along and revert it anyway. People suck.

*snorts* Yeah, I kind of figured editing would only be a gesture, all considered.
