Yeah, it's rife with one copyright violation after another after another.

Whoops, I couldn't actually link to my edit on that last one (copyright, The Skyscraper Museum and curator Carol Willis), because before I could click "Save", I was struck with this:

* Expiry of block: 02:37, 10 March 2009
* Intended blockee: Thekohser

You can contact JSharp or another administrator to discuss the block. You cannot use the 'email this user' feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it.

Looks like Wikia is EXACTLY like Wikipedia. Point out too many problems with the misappropriation of other people's copyrighted labor, and that will earn you a block-a-roo.
