Hey, the page for the fanfic The Secret Return of Alex Mack seems to have disappeared. I really don't know where/how to ask this, but does a mod or someone know what happened?

The article was plagiarized from another wiki. Also, please don't recreate the article by writing a question on it. That's considered a stub and is bannable.

If you would like to recreate it, come up with an original description and trope list.

Plagiarized from where? I couldn't find a wiki that have this page.

I'd copied it from All The Tropes, which also deleted the SROAM page.

How is it OK for ATT to be 99% a copy-paste of this site, but I can't copy a page to here and work on it myself?

Because we (by which, I mean the wiki) don't have the money to sue them for plagiarism, which is what that is. All the site staff can do presently is prevent plagiarism on our end, which is what you just admitted you were doing.

Two wrongs don't make a right, as the saying goes.

Besided, plagiarism is not a crime. Copyright infringement is.

It may have started out coming from All the Tropes, but I and a bunch of other people who had never seen ATT had made additions to it.

It doesn't matter. If it is substantially copied from another site, it's a violation.

If anyone like, I know where a copy of the old page is that might help you create a new one.
