As from yesterday bomb rounds have 1 question but earlier they had more (2-5). I don't know why they bugged a perfectly working medal.
So what you're saying is that it's now impossible to get that medal? Wonderful. I'll put that next to Sperm Rider's pancake medal.
Also:
Well, we have to remember that these people didn't actually write it but they copied it from Wylo (at least that's what he said) so it's not even their original "work".
True, but that doesn't change the fact that you copied someone else's work, whether directly from them or through someone else. Just means Wylo is the one who deserves credit rather than the people you copied from, since he is the original author. Basically, it doesn't matter whether the person you copied from is the original author, what matters is that you copied from someone.
And yeah, l would be breaking the copyright if l actually said it was mine, but l didn't do that, so, practically, we are both right here...
Even if that were correct (and it's not), you do say it's yours. The site makes sure of it, so that nobody else can copy it and say it's theirs. It even includes a date and time, to stop any "no, I wrote it first!" arguments. The top of the news entry in question is this:

That quite clearly says it's yours, unless you state otherwise. Seriously, just give credit where it's due by saying at the top of the entry that most of the guide originally came from Wylo, and move on.
And one last thing: you can't have a copyright on a review that says "a good game but needs better graphics", can you?
Nope, that doesn't meet the threshold of originality, or whatever it was called. That's why it exists, in fact: so you can't copyright something like "What's up?" Though I remember hearing somewhere that somehow Paris Hilton was able to trademark "That's hot," which is lame. I may be missing something with that though. The point is that Paris Hilton is an idiot and has no talent.
Speaking of which, if someone were to make a game where you slowly tear apart Paris Hilton's career and leave her destitute and crying, I would go out of my way to achieve any medal in it. Any medal at all.
