There are differences between most of the articles and the source books or GW would probably be all over this wiki like a cheap suit. This wiki is also not monetizing content, nor is it asking for monetary donations and financial sponsorship for its content. Another thing is the sources are quoted and linked in the articles (giving credit to the original author and source) and the user we are talking about didn't even bother doing that, let alone even bother putting a link to the wiki article in the video description. Nobody here, or on most wikis for that matter, is claiming that they created anything other than an article summarizing a topic that often spans over several different books.

To sum it up, some guy who doesn't know jack about 40k, saw how well Arch Hammer and Luetin09 were doing, and tried to get numbers for his channel by reading the articles on this wiki word for word on a video. He tried to pass it off as his own work, and didn't even bother to link the wiki article in either the video or the video description, then he got caught. Pretty cut and dry, and not really worth trying to defend.
