What was copied from Empire of the Turtle?? I mean that site has virtually no information on it, ie about two sentences and a photo. So please explain. I mean I had never been to the site until I saw this so not possible I copied anything in my edits. Faendalimas (talk) 17:28, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
From what I recall it was a copy/paste straight off that page with the wording from "DISTRIBUTION:" up to and including the "NOTES:" at the end. The odds capitialisation made it stand out the odd. aha ha, see here. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 17:39, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was all there, and it was all there twice. It also used to include the note that begins "From what I understand there is work underway..." but that was removed some time ago. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough then that is as it should be. I will try to get some information together on this species as its nothing but a stub in its present form. But I will not copy and paste..lol... Cheers Faendalimas (talk) 20:03, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
