Talk:Los Angeles Thunderbirds

On the History section.
This is almost word-for-word copied from the last T-birds web site. Right down to the part about the game between the distaff squad and the Landsharks (AZ Renegades) back in November 2004 (not 1985, else it would be in the 1980s section).

There is some documentation regarding that game, and some surviving video. The L.A. T-Birds lost it 6-66.

There seems to be nothing on here about the lawsuit between Bill Griffiths and Bob Sedillo (latest owner/operator) over their licensing contract(s). Nor any mention of Bob Sedillo's death. TimBRoy (talk) 08:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

This article is almost entirely plagiarized.
I'm adding the copyvio tag to this article. Reverting it to a point prior to the pasting in of the copyrighted materials would only take the article back to the IMO sorry state of the article at that time.

Citing the (since downed) Rollergames/L.A. T-Birds web site does not permit editor Skatekey to simply copy and paste wholesale from the copyrighted L.A. T-Birds History web page which is archived here. Differences between his original edit and the copyrighted materials appear to be largely grammatical and spelling corrections by other editors.

Copyright violations aside, I don't find much of value in this article that isn't already covered quite well (and in a more encyclopedic tone) within the Roller Games and Rollergames articles. Could this article somehow just be changed to redirect towards that one? I'd do so but I'm not quite sure of the mechanism. TimBRoy (talk) 22:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for detecting this problem. I have deleted the copyright infringement from the article's history. Since there has been no feedback to your suggestion of redirect, I believe this is uncontentious. I will go ahead and convert this page. If dispute develops, it may be settled by consensus. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:56, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
