hey arthur.

a couple months back, i began to reformat my page, fawn holmwood, and opted to experiment and attempt to create a unique infobox for my character. over the course of a few weeks, i reformatted and added new things i hadn't seen before — yet, i noticed something with every change: you edited your own page's infobox with the same formatting. i excused it, that's fine - just a bit of formatting, so nothing to get fired up over.

but, i edited mine further and you managed to not copy it until last night, when you copied and pasted my infobox onto your page, bardagan barrow.

had it been anything other than an exact copy, i wouldn't have approached you today; however, after discussion with an admin and taking time to consider the situation, i found myself pretty uncomfortable with someone using something i'd formatted for my page - and exactly that. had you altered it, i would have been alright - i get if you don't know the coding, and i'm more than glad to help out with that. however, if you're going to copy something exactly (especially coding, or anything else in that creative realm), you should always get permission to use it (unless freely stated otherwise), or - at the very least - credit the owner. inspiration is okay; copying is not.

this isn't a demand; rather, it is a request for respect. thanks.
