Can you just please look things up before you type things? Read up on Creative Commons. Especially CC-by-SA, which is the current license on wikipedia along with GDFL. You can reproduce wikipedia text on other website, but you have to give credit to wikipedia.

But that's all beside the point: we don't like it. We make the rules here, which may be stricter than the law. Don't copy. Write your own text. Period.

For images on the website, we cite fair use. Technically, that doesn't cover non-encyclopedic use like avatars, but there seems to be a general ambivalence to that. In any way, avatars are done centrally by wikia, and it is beyond any DC wiki policy.
