If I may, what Saj is trying to suggest isn't that this Wiki copy something from UESP. What he's trying to suggest is an improvement to the Wiki, which just so happens to be something that UESP does as well.

Claiming that having a namespace for lore articles is copying UESP is like claiming that having a live chat or forums is copying another chat site or another forum site. An entire namespace isn't something that people can claim exclusive to their site, as many Wikis use different namespaces for different kinds of articles.

There is a difference between copying another Wiki and having similarities with another Wiki. The difference is that copying implies that they originally had the idea of a lore namespace and the use of such a namespace is infringing on their individuality, whereas having similarities with them is having something in common with their Wiki, but not infringing on their individuality. In this case, there would be no infringement on individuality, since separate namespaces for different kinds of articles is, like I said before, not unique to UESP by any means.

As opposed to looking at the menial problems with this idea, like how it is supposedly "copying", why not try to discuss pros and cons about the idea? Though I feel that a new thread should be started for this discussion, shouldn't it?
