ohai
Not sure if you're aware of this, or even if you're the right person to be discussing this with, but I recently found this. It's basically a blog-style site that uses advertising to get money (they also give away "free" minecraft accounts if you complete the advertising surveys). What's troubling is that they've directly copied-and-pasted info from this wiki in some of their posts regarding minecraft; in short, they're using this wiki's content to make monies.

Anyways, I just saw this and figured I'd give someone a heads up. --Novatastic 03:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Provide specific examples of where information has been copy/pasted from this site (information the is not available verbatim from any other minecraft source), and we might be able to get them for copyright violations. However, any information that is transcribed directly from the game, or available on other sources is free game. I'm happy to look into any reports of violations. Unfortuantely there are several other minecraft sites (one even registered http://www.minepedia.com ) -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  04:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, their images under "Complete Recipe List" on seem a bit like screen caps of our pages. --JonTheMon 04:51, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The primary problem is that prior to the move to Curse, this wiki had no copyright policy... so everything posted is technically posted under the Public Domain. It gives us no legal grounds to stand on as far as anyone taking the information posted here. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  15:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Does this wiki have a copyright policy even now? As I type this, I'm looking at a link under the edit box saying "Minecraft Wiki:Copyrights", and that link happens to be red, indicating there isn't a copyright policy at all... --DannyF1966 19:01, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * All contributions now fall under the Curse.com Terms of Service. All contributors automatically hold copyright to their own contributions, so you can feel free to contact any site that "steals" your personal contributions and request they remove them. However, as a site, prior to the acquisition by Curse, there is no consolidated policy. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  17:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

MCWiki NL
Hey there, it looks like the Curse banner on nl.minecraftwiki.net is completely broken. Could you please have a look at it?--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 02:57, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll have Bumble take a look at it, she deals with the footers. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  02:58, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is it is missing the css entries. Bumble needs to be given admin access, or someone needs to copy/paste the footer css from here to there. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  03:04, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Doesn't Bumble already have admin access? AFAIK users on EN have the same rights as on any other language.--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 11:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have admin rights there, so I don't believe she would either.. you do, so just copy the stuff in MediaWiki:Common.css over and the footer will be fixed. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  11:38, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

 * We're working on it :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  04:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

thankyou
I was wondering why this was happening and couldn't find a way to contact an online admin/mod to ask why, I appreciate your message. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scythesabre (Talk . Please sign your posts with   !
 * To contact an admin, leave a message on Minecraft Wiki:Admin noticeboard. There is a link in your navigation bar to the left. :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  10:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * What colour are the admins that are currently online? Blue? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scythesabre (Talk . Please sign your posts with   !
 * You can check the Recent changes log to see if any of them have made recent posts, or you can simply post your message on the noticeboard. Most admins have the page on their watchlist and will be notified of any additions/changes made to it. The colors of the names simply indicate whether they have created a userpage or not. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  11:09, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Fixed
I changed my signature so it had a lot less characters. Here it is-Kjam   (talk)   01:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks... now you should just add it to your preferences and give up the template :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  01:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Copyright
What is the curse policy on copyrights? Like, what are all these contribs released under? (Oh, Minecraft_Wiki:Copyrights could probably use a little text or links). --JonTheMon 19:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we are working on that... as of right now, it's covered under the Curse Terms of Service. Unfortunately, we can't just add a copyright license after the fact, so I'm waiting to hear back from Curse legal for specifics. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  19:55, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Right... I knew that (after the fact part). --JonTheMon 20:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I revised the copyrightwarning that comes up with each edit, so now there is no giant red link to the copyright page, but rather a link to the Curse Terms of Service. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk  20:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if this is the right place to make such an inquiry, but I couldn't find an email. I'm the developer of Wikidroid, the #2 Wikipedia app on the Android platform; I'm also an avid Minecraft player, and I was wondering if we could partner to create an Minecraft Wiki Android app, using Wikidroid as a base. I already have the app working & ready to go, but unlike Wikipedia, Minecraft Wiki is not licensed under a licence allowing us to use your content for commercial use, so in order to release my Minecraft Wiki Android application, I would need some sort of permission from Curse. If Curse needs to have their own ads in the app, that would be fine, as long as we can have our advertisements there too. Other Minecraft applications on Android have almost 250,000 downloads, so there is potential for revenue here!

If we could work out some sort of agreement, this would be great. Even better would be if this app could be officially blessed by Minecraft Wiki. Contact me at isaac@siriusapplications.com. Thanks.
