MAMMA MIA! Jimmy's head dosn't look anything like Mario. I'm getting rid of that part of the article.

J N Wikia insert

Someone fairly recently copied and pasted a HUGE chunk of Jimmy Neutron's character article from the Jimmy Neutron Wiki (Wikia). I didn't kill 45 minutes of my day furiously checking back and forth to see if any editing of the pasted text occurred, but that obviously isn't important. The bottom line is that at least a whole printable page of information has been carbon-copied from a fan-edited wiki to supplement this article. I would guess that this mass insertion of text increased the article size 10-fold. It goes without saying that this doesn't belong in the article (especially the "Famous Quotes and Phrases", but I am giving the link so that anybody who feels ambitious can glean any relevancy within and put it to good use with preferable sources: http://jimmyneutron.wikia.com/wiki/Jimmy_Neutron I probably wouldn't have even noticed (I sometimes skim articles or look for one item of interest), except the heading for the section read, "Information from jimmyneutron.wikia.com". I won't remove the info; in the edit history it says that the stub tag was updated after this copy-and-pasting. I don't know what 'constitutes' a stub, so could someone who knows what they're doing purge the added text and do what is necessary to the stub status? I assume that purging the copied text is the best option. Thanks in advance. 67.182.237.57 (talk) 04:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Wikis by their very nature are not reliable sources, and I've reverted to a revision before that.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking care of that since I was a little clueless on stub stuff....Come to think of it, even if I knew what was going on, I am not authorized anyway, right? Tag adding and removing is strictly for administrators, isn't it? (I assume you are an admin--based on my thinking that admins only deal with tags for article issues/notifications) 67.182.237.57 (talk) 05:40, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
