Stolen Information
That's not how wikis work. Wikis operate under legal licenses that allow information to be copied from one to another, even verbatim. That's why there are so many Wikipedia clones everywhere copying text from the main Wikipedia. They are allowed to. The Conan wikia follows the "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0". Ours mentions Wikipedia's "GNU Free Documentation License".) We can copy Wikia's text and take their pictures freely, provided we also keep the information about the sourcing intact. The Wikia can likewise copy everything from here, even make a complete clone if they want. For more information see Wikipedia's page on the topic.
