Hello Sarah! I am here to report some obvious plagiarism that a user known as "TurokSwe" has been committing against Wikizilla with his "Godzilla" Wiki. TurokSwe is pretty much despised on the Kaiju community as he has vandalized Wikipedia and such, but that is a bit of a sidenote and I will head straight to giving the details and the screenshots.

TurokSwe does not like Wikizilla because of one silly and solitary reason: Wikizilla calls a character by its official and legally proven name, but TurokSwe is biased (and even though he seems calm and put together, he is really not a nice guy outside of Wikia) and is quite a fanboy of the character from the 1998 "Godzilla" film (the one by Roland Emmerich? That film and the character in it is really not Godzilla at all, and it's not a matter of debate anymore) called Zilla. Because of this, he has created two Wikizilla rip-off Wikis (one more obvious than the other, and the first is the one where this issue is happening), where he can freely pass off his bias as facts and such. This is not an issue in the eyes of Staff at all, but he did falsify a copyright icon to try to prove that the Zilla character was still called Godzilla. I reported this, but it was dismissed by the people from Special:Contact, as apparently the company who created those icons has to notufy you guys to shut that Wiki down or something like that, which was a bummer for us who wanted to see something done.

But, enough backstory, here are the screenshots and the links to the articles. You can manually and freely check the history of the following pages as I am not afraid to be caught "lying" or "faking" this, because I am not. In these three screenshots I show how TurokSwe completely plagiarises an article I wrote called Godzilla (1998 Pinball Game), which was written about a month before he decided to copy-paste it to his Wiki, and steal two screenshots about the game I took, without giving even the slightest of credit. He did not even rename the second screenshot, and the first screenshot he removed a part of the file's title I specifically put there to discourage him from stealing. In this screenshot you can see that TurokSwe happily decided to copy-paste the Monsters template on to his Wiki and just change a few things around. This does not really matter because anyone can bring any other's Wiki's templates into theirs and I am not the author of this template (but I did heavily contribute to it), but it's just a little something to show he steals from Wikizilla. This article TurokSwe did have on his Wiki before we had an article for it, but the article on his Wiki was very small and had little information. So, I created the article on Wikizilla and added some information and a bit of trivia on it. Not long before right now (on Sep. 16th), he very happily decided to copy-paste all that I wrote (except the trivia) to his stub article (even some of the info on the infobox!). Just copy-pasted right there and then, and then in the next few revisions he decided to remove a couple of links. I really am not fond of TurokSwe's actions one bit. My good friend Aldo sent me here because he said you could help do something, something to stop this.

Thank you and I look forward to your reply soon, Sarah.
