Simply saying he copy-pasted "some" stuff is an understatement, and this is definitely not the first time he has been called out for plagiarism. He copied entire sections from multiple pages straight from the Doom Wiki and mish-mashed it all together to make (I use this term very loosely) the Monsters article in question. I had to dig through several pages from the Doom Wiki and compared their information to the article to get a confirmation, and although there was some very minor rewording here and there, it was pretty obvious to tell he just resorted to lazy copy-pasting. And yeah, it did end up getting reverted...only for Bandai to shamelessly add it all back in again, and that brings me to his plagiarism with the Piranhas article back in September.

Before the whole Doom thing, he pulled a similar stunt by stealing content from Wikipedia articles on a few Piranha movies, so I called him out through both edit revisions and on his talk page. Anyone who was familiar with Bandainamco probably knows he had an aggressive attitude, so unsurprisingly, he responded to me about the plagiarism with nothing but dismissive comments like these:


 * "Stop interfering with my work."
 * "I would appreciate if you mind your own beeswax!"
 * "again, mind your own business when you are not going to be the one to improve the article. All you have done is barging into my rewriting works and ruining them."

I'm sorry but, plagiarism is one thing, but deliberately going out of your way to pass plagiarized content off as "your work" even though there is evidence proving that it really isn't, is another thing entirely. Looking back at this whole thing, I have no idea why I didn't report him to an admin immediately afterwards, because I should have.

In regards to the permanent ban though. On one hand, it's not that common to see a user get permablocked within three blocks without a permablockable offense (e.g. trolling or sockpuppetry) listed in the block reason. Plus, the reason itself is pretty vague, since I didn't even realize plagiarism is what got him permablocked until now. If he is staying blocked, the reason could probably be more specific.

On the other hand, I have to be frank, his permablock was inevitable, since his edit-warring, plagiarism and hostile behavior kept building up and up over time (he also used a sockpuppet at one point according to his block log, which correct me if I'm wrong, is a permanently blockable offense in its own right). At the end of the day, its up to the admins to decide whether he stays blocked or not. Lastly, can't Bandai try and get into contact with Prime if he's unhappy about his block anyway? Just my opinion.
