It has recently come to my attention that one of the articles you have created on April 9, 2017 (and in which other editors are involved), "Countryballs: The Animated Series", seems to borrow quite heavily from an article from another wiki, known as "IIwiki."

This is the article in question: http://dreamfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Countryballs:_The_Animated_Series

This is the article that material has been borrowed from: http://iiwiki.com/wiki/Countryballs:_The_Series

A lookup in the history of both articles shows that the IIwiki article on Countryballs preceded the one in the Dream Fiction wikia. It is also quite obvious, judging by sections such as "Development and production", that your article has entirely copied content from the IIwiki article, aside from changing certain names.

The portion "The first countryball comics were created in 2009, and within a few years it had become a well-known meme to Internet users within and beyond Pavonistade" hasn't even been properly edited. The word "Pavonistade" would have been a tell-tale sign that the article you created (and others were involved in) has... more to it than it seems.

I don't like to upset you or anyone else. But while the idea of Countryballs belongs to everyone, I'd appreciate original texting instead of copying-and-pasting material from elsewhere.

Thanks,

Pavonistade
