Emmette,

why did you delete the original page instead of leaving it as a redirect? Because it was an unused and pointless redirect that no one is ever going to use.

Much more impotently, you didn't give me credit in the your edit summery, there's nothing to indicate that it's my words rather then yours.

Other than being horrible grammar, why should he give you credit in his edit summary? There's a quote from Wikia I read a while ago, it goes along the lines of: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then don't submit it here.

Wikia:Licensing says "If you import text under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable fashion (including by one of the attribution methods described below), credit the author(s). Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as COPYING WITHIN WIKIA [emphasis mine]), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text." and "When re-using Wikia text that has been posted subject a Creative Commons license, you must provide attribution to the authors using one of the attribution methods described in the section above titled “Attribution.”

...Other than a broken link, that page also says, similar to what I just posted,  all users editing or otherwise contributing to wikis that use the CC BY-SA license agree to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely for any purpose, including commercial use, in accordance with the CC BY-SA license. And no, your "crediting the author" section you refer to does not include yours. Ordinarily, Oluap would put a "merged from x page" edit summary. And there wasn't even that much text imported. I genuinely don't get your point of view and this is coming across as self-entitlement.

Ask a Wikia staff member if you don't take my word for it.

I can't speak for Oluap, but I've spoken to several of them, what's your point?

I was going to thank you for a job well done since we don't have a lot of editors interested in actively helping out the mainspace nowadays, but this kind of self-entitlement and complaining is the sort that could lead me to an assumption of bad faith. You do not own what you submit here for people to freely use.
