Copied Articles
-
So I help out with the PokéCommunity Daily blog, where we report on news and stuff from Pokemon games. Recently, we got a click from another wordpress site, which I will leave unnamed for now. Upon further investigation, I discovered that this site had been reposting (verbatim, editor credits and all) many articles from the Daily and citing the Daily as their source. However, there are a number of authors that contribute to our blog, and they failed to credit the original author of the article. We find this to be unacceptable and wish to ask the author of the offending blog to reword the material and retain credit or at least credit the author of the original article.
I looked on the Support stuff and saw that we were supposed to contact the creator of that blog, but said creator left no contact info or any way to communicate with him/her. I was simply wondering if there was a way to find out how to reach the author of a blog with no attached contact info.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
