No. That's not how CC-BY-SA works.

Material from another wiki can not be shared freely. You have to give credit to the original author(s), which you did not. You added a swat of text, passing off the work of others as your own. Proper credit should be done by exporting/importing, which is impractical due to our different layout, templates and naming conventions. You also added text from Adherents.com, an external site that may have a different license. Content can only be shared if two sites have a matching license, or if the other site's license permits reuse.

And please don't use quotes around plagiarism. Copying text without credit is plagiarism. Not "plagiarism". Plagiarism.

We indeed have a zero tolerance policy on copying, even if license permits it. Why? It's plagiarism. It's lazy. Also, it's bad for SEO. And most importantly, for accuracy's sake, you should always check the primary source material. How do you know what you copy is accurate?

For what it's worth, we do mention copying on our horribly outdated policy page.
